KALEIDOS Space Age Highlighters

A few posts ago I mentioned that I purchased a Kaleidos Space Age Highlighter from Depop and I said I really wanted the whole collection (8 highlighters) and was considering purchasing the whole bundle. The bundle was and is still out of stock, so I caved in and went for the second best option. I ended up purchasing The Six Highlighter Bundle, where you choose six of the shades and you get their Precision Highlighter Brush, all for $76.00 (£60.70). With this option I would only be missing out on one shade. My order was shipped from China and took 10 days to get to me. The shipping was FREE as I spent over $70.00 and I wasn’t charged any customs fees.
Inside the main package is the bright bundle box, it looks like a present/gift. When you open this up, the highlighters and brush are inside the metallic padded envelope.
I already own the shade Ray Rider (N03) (champagne sheen with a peach hint). Click HERE to read my first impressions of it and see a swatch. Please forgive the not so good quality swatches. It was hard for me to pick up the stunning beams on camera. Also, a lot of the shades appear to be blue based.
Comet Catcher (N01)
- Fluorescent fuchsia with a peach hint
“Shower your senses with this cosmic burst of berry stardust”
Diamond Dasher (N04)
- Cobalt, gold and fuchsia shimmers with a diamond glint
“Scatter the stars and blend e milky way with just a touch of this crushed crystal radiance”
Mars Melter (G04)
- Peachy caramel with a magenta red glow
“Melt through this Martian mousse and treat yourself to a warm scoop of creamy crimson and peach”
Moon Cruiser (G05)
- Rich neon lilac with a cobalt shift
“Take a joyride through unseen lunar landscapes on this blue and violet hotrod”
Solar Sailor (G03)
- Satin gold
“Cast away and drift through a sea of stars and with this smooth sailing shimmer”
Star Surfer (N02)
- Rosy champagne with silver undertones
“Ride a wave of creamy starlight every time you dip into this heavenly shimmer”
The only shade I am missing now is Sky Walker (G01) (aqua blue with ultraviolet undertones) as it was out of stock, which means I was unable to choose at as one of my six shades. I may not have chosen it as part of my six anyway, as I do have other blue/violet highlighters that look very similar. If it comes back in stock I will be torn over whether to buy it or not, as I do not need it but it is the only shade missing. The collector in me really wants to finish my Space Age Highlighter collection! There also used to be a shade called Laser Glazer (G02) (bright green with rose gold shift), but it isn’t listed on the website anywhere so I am guessing they discontinued it. By the look of the swatches online, it might have been too dark for my skin tone anyway. The single highlighters retail for $14.00 each and the brush for $8.00. Buying the six shade bundle saves you $16.00. My favourite of the ones I have is Diamond Dasher. These are some of the best highlighters I have ever used and it is the first formula I have tried that you cannot really see the highlighter on your face until your cheekbones hit the light at the right angle. They are truly beautiful and I want more! Maybe they should bring out a purple/lilac toned highlighter in a little purple tin next?

Oden's Eye Norn’s Mesmerizer Highlighters

When I saw that Oden’s Eye posted on their Instagram page about their new Norn’s Series Collection, I knew I would be making my second purchase of their products. The collection as a whole includes four eyeshadow palettes and three highlighters. The palettes all looked beautiful, but I knew I wouldn’t get much use out of them and I didn’t just want to buy them to swatch and post about and then not use again. I did want to buy all three highlighters, but I settled on the two that I would get most use out of. The one I didn’t choose is a stunning blue and silver shade and I just knew I wouldn’t wear it as much as the other two. I already own a few other blue highlighters and I hardly ever wear them. I believe only the three highlighters are limited edition and the eyeshadow palettes are all permanent. ABOUT THE PRODUCT In Norse mythology, three sisters (Norn’s) weave and guard the web of fate. They also attend the spring of life that supports the World Tree. The highlighters reflect the ...

ZOEVA Rose Golden Palette

I saw this palette a while ago on a beauty blog and instantly knew I had to have it. It’s not long launched here in the UK, but it’s already a cult favourite! I just adore the packaging, everything about it! It’s made out of cardboard, but it feels sturdy and durable and it is a gorgeous kind of coffee/red velvet chocolate colour. It has a beautiful rose gold design on the front, with swirls and then a centered key. It has a magnetic closing, which is quite strong because if you hold it from the top when closed and give it a shake, the two parts don’t separate (palette doesn’t open). It has a light feel in general and inside it’s all one beautiful colour and the eyeshadows are well spaced. Around each pan is a rose gold diamond border and underneath in small rose gold letters are the shade names. On the back of the palette is the usual ingredients and other information blurbs. You get ten full size eyeshadows (0.5oz) with matte, metallic or satin finishes and each has a cute...

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...
