little white truths

You may remember that I dented this product earlier in the year (see update post here). 

If you're interested, I've reviewed it here.

I'm back today to introduce it to Project Dent again, for the simple reason that I may decide to pan it next year. It's a toss up between panning this one or my Hourglass blush trio (the one that was released years ago).

While the blush palette is older, I do have two of these Surreal Light palettes because I loved mine so much that I knew I had to buy a back-up. Indeed, it's the only makeup item I've ever bought two of, which tells you something.

The main thing stopping me from attempting to pan the blush trio is that, since Incandescent Electra is favourite blush of all time, if I finished the palette then I would just have to buy that shade separately. No point hurrying up that expense!

On the flip side, I would rather finish the palette while the powders are still in their prime, as opposed to setting it aside for another year or two and later discovering that it's started to go crumbly. I'm not sure yet when Hourglass powders start to change in formula as they age: I tend to finish my powders from that brand because I use them obsessively. In some ways, perhaps it would be a good thing to leave the palette be and learn what my timeline is for future reference.

Anyhoo. Here's how Surreal Light looked when I first introduced it to Project Dent on 14 March 2017:

Here's how it looked at the end of my last denting period, on 27 March:

And here's how it looks today, 13 September 2017:
