Hourglass has added 4 new shades Phantom volume glossy lip balm ($38 each) and they are incredibly beautiful. Three of them are sparkling, and one is a new red. Of all the hourglass lip formulas, this is probably my favorite. Especially because I love shiny lips.
From left to right:
- secret A sparkling gold rose (think Mac Sophisto Vibes, but not Frosty)
- invite Gold sparkle medium tan brown
- Wandering A light pink pink with a golden sparkle
- Red 0 The most perfect wearable red for those who don’t want to wear red

All colors of new things Phantom Shiny Perfume It’s wearable, and the wonder is on the light side, but it still appears on my lips. The pigment is perfect. The normal, non-slimming shades are extremely soft and almost blend together when you place your lips. The shimmer version is smooth without texture, but actually feels a little stiff as you like.
These are shiny balms so long-lasting power isn’t long, but they don’t slip easily. The finish is generous, so it fades well. They are smooth and hydrated without feeling thick.
The hourglass team sent beautiful press boxes in new shades, including three from the permanent lineup. I reviewed them here, here and here But I thought I’d add them here too desire (Rose Maube), Lure (Plum) Sense (Best nude pink).
Overall love. All colors are colors that I think can be universally flattering. I finally found my new Holy Grail Red. I was hoping that the Peach Orange Mystery from the Holiday 2024 duo would come out individually, but it appears to be available only in sets (still in stock). I love the peachy coral shades so I might end up buying a set before they sell out.
