KALEIDOS Charisma Contour Palette in Cool & Light

I already love the KALEIDOS Space Age Highlighters and I have also really been enjoying the Futurism Eyeshadow Palettes, so naturally I also wanted to try their contour palette when it was released. I bought this product after my first direct KALEIDOS order, but before my second order which is why I purchased it on Depop instead, I didn’t just want to buy one product and have to wait ages for it to arrive.
ABOUT THE PRODUCT
You get three powders with a net weight of 8g in a matte finish inside a little rectangular cardboard compact.
 
·         Smooth & buttery texture
·         Blends flawlessly
·         Long lasting
·         Buildable
·         Vegan
·         Cruelty-Free
THE SHADES & SWATCHES
Fill - light peach illuminator with pink undertones
Shade - cool dusted taupe
Chisel - neutral taupe with pink undertones
 
MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I like the packaging and the compact does have a little weight to it. I do also like that there is a little mirror, even though I personally wouldn’t use it. I don’t like that the shades are different sizes, it is a little awkward to get your brush into the Fill and Shade pans to pick-up product. The Fill shade is ok, but I wouldn’t use it what it is actually for, I would just use it as an actual powder. It isn’t my preference of shade for a powder, I prefer transparent pressed powders. I love how smooth Shade and Chisel look once blended out and they do blend out effortlessly. It took some building up as I think I chose the wrong shade, I probably needed the next shade up (Warm and Medium). Shade and Chisel do look almost identical, so it is kind of pointless having the two included. I probably would have just put the Fill and Chisel shades into the compact and the Fill shade would be the same size pan as Chisel. I will continue playing with it, but I probably wouldn’t re-purchase it as I don’t need all three shades. I would consider purchasing the Chisel shade if it was available as a single.

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...

Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:- Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive. Price - £1.49 Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper. Price - £4.60 Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it f...

Review: Travalo Classic

I was sorting through some old pictures in my blog folder on my computer and I came across some Travalo pictures I took, and remembered I was mean’t to do a post about it. So better late than never, I am going to share with you how to use it and what I think. About the Travalo The Travalo is a small and handy perfume atomiser that allows you to decant a small amount of your favourite perfume into the tube and carry it with you, so you don’t have to carry around the bottle. It is made of strong, light aluminium and is 80mm in size and holds 4ml of liquid, which is approximately fifty sprays. It is also a “perfectly” rounded shape, which means there are no corners, so you don’t have to worry about it ripping your handbag, purse and pockets or scratching any furniture and surfaces. How to Use It If you want to decant some perfume to put in the Travalo you need to: 1. Take the spray cap off the perfume bottle 2. Get your Travalo and hold it upright over the spray s...
