A: "Vanessa there is extremely knowledgeable, excited about beauty and the Hourglass product. What stands out about Hourglass is the science behind the line. Also, the line includes makeup and skin care items—the brand has recently branched out to include skin care. The flagship store offers many services, right in the heart of Venice Beach on Abbot Kinney. One service is the Google Glass—you get to take home a digital recording of your custom makeover and all the instructions and tips from the Hourglass beauty expert who assisted you. (Your makeover session is recorded on-site, then emailed to you!)"
"I am in love with the Mechanical Gel Eye Liner—two clicks for each eye and you're good to go! I also love the Ambient powders—the complexion powders and blushes. (Coveting the Ambient Lighting Blush Palette at the moment!) The Ambient powders have Photoluminescent Technology that create depth; the powders don't simply sit on the skin, but give a multidimensional glow. And who doesn't want to glow?"
