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?

KALEIDOS Futurism VI: Lunar Lavender Palette

This is my second KALEIDOS palette and I bought it from the same Depop seller as last time. I also purchased the Futurism I: Sci-Fi Green and Futurism VII: Sashimi City Palettes, reviews on those will be coming soon. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a long thin rectangle shape and the concept reminds me of a wardrobe. There is a purple, pink and rose gold coral (the reef kind) and cloud theme all over the packaging. It has a magnetic closing and you open up the left side first and then the right side to reveal the circular eyeshadow pans and long thin mirror inside. The outside theme continues to the inside, but the colours are lilac, pink, peach and orange with rose gold. The eyeshadow names come printed on a plastic sheet. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get six 1.33g eyeshadows/pressed pigments in Matte (M), Duo-Chrome (DC) and Shimmer (S) finishes.   ·          Rich and Velvety Texture ·          Smo...

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...
