The Hourglass Curator Singles Are Available Here’s the Ones I Got

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Hourglass Curator Eyeshadow Singles launched and I did a little damage. The eyeshadows are available in matte, satin, metallic, and shimmer. Unfortunately, they do not come with a case! Single eyeshadow compacts are $29 each and a single compact will set you back $12 but they give you a two buck discount if you buy a single shade and a compact which makes your total $39.

Ouch.

That hurts so badly.

There are also 3-pan and 5-pan palettes available which are $99 and $161.

Ouch again.

These are hurting my feelings so badly today. That’s pretty expensive for a palette! I’m getting those feel bad Louboutin vibes here!

Hourglass has always toed the line for me as it’s difficult to say if they fit in the mid-range category or the luxury. They sort of fall in the middle of both but these new eyeshadow singles bring them fully into the realms of luxury beauty. I’m sad to say they haven’t listed the size of each eyeshadow on the website. That’s information I’d like to know as I committed myself to purchasing some of these bad, bad boys today. I’m a little concerned they are tiny….! Eep!

So, here’s what I got.

An all matte three pan with the shades Foe, Neo, and Doe and a second three pan with Act, Elm, and Web!

Let’s hope the quality is amazing.

Anyone diving into these today?

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    Nope, was excited at first, but the price is too much for me. At that price they’d have to wash my windows and be a surrogate mother. I’ll admire your shades from afar!

    • Isabella Muse

      LOL Susan! Agreed! I better get them and they better hop out of the box and immediately start washing my floor and doing my laundry!

  • Dee

    Wow, I’m kinda stunned at how expensive these things are! I really want some of the mattes but may put these on hold. I love everything I’ve ever purchased from Hourglass and bet I would these too but think I’ll wait for now.

    • Isabella Muse

      I needed to have my head examined for even buying them because that’s a really high cost right there.

  • Swoozy

    Ouch. The eye shadows look very promising (although you never know with swatches), but $161 for a five pan palette is more than I pay for Pat McGrath, which has phenomenal quality and no bad rep to overcome over a lack of inclusivity. Until I knew the price, I was intrigued, but for that amount, they’d need to be sentient and self apply for me to be able to justify it 😉

    • Isabella Muse

      RIGHT? RIGHT? I mean, at this price I can totally get more from Pat! LOL self apply!

    owowowowow…. the price of those hurts so bad!! I’mma hold off a bit til you post a review of them.. you *will* be doing a review won’t you? there are some gorgeous colors in that collex but for 29 bucks a crack, they’re going to have to be excellent to spectacular for me to invest!!! 🙂

    (but I’m hoping they are excellent to spectacular because I really like the colors!) Happy Thursday Muse!

    • Isabella Muse

      ouch dude! Jesus! I will! I’ve been so craptastic with reviews lately. I apologize for that. I’ve just been swamped with work. Honestly if they are awesome I won’t mind the price but if they are horrible oh my god I’m going to be so pissed! Happy Thursday my love! You have a beautiful day for yourself!

  • Linda W

    Really want some of the mattes! Going to sit tight and wait for swatches and reviews. Counting on you Muse to give us the scoop. Thank you!

    • Isabella Muse

      always my dear always ;-D <3! I hope to get them soon!

  • Agona

    I am definitely curious. Thanks for taking the leap for us! I had one of their 5-pans but the look was so flat on me, I ended up decluttering. The singles definitely have peaked my interest, especially the metallic and shimmer finishes.

  • Mem

    I was excited to see that these are talc-free. Hopefully the performance justifies the crazy price! Could you post a picture of the list of ingredients when you get your eyeshadows in the mail? I couldn’t find it anywhere on the Hourglass website. I’ll be looking forward to your review!

  • Ellie

    I really admired Hourglass because it was amazing quality for, what seemed to be to be an ‘attainable’ price. Like you could save up for. When they released their skincare line I understood the price point because they probably have used higher quality ingredients that I personally wouldn’t purchase but this, this feels like Hourglass have purposely excluded a large part of their previous demographic. I just cannot see a justification for the price of these. As well as the packaging, it just seems ill designed and exclusive for all the wrong reasons.

    I went to buy a 3-palette in a shop today; I hadn�t checked the prices. This is the only time in my (long) life I�ve looked at the till and gone �eh? Are you sure you�ve got that right?� then said I�ve changed my mind. Usually I�d just pay up and inwardly seethe. But this is just too much!

    • Isabella Muse

      It really was expensive and I wasn’t impressed with my order! So sad!
