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?

Tarte Tartelette Tease Palette

I saw this advertised last year and I have been interested in the full sized Tartelette palettes before, but couldn’t really justify buying one (plus I couldn’t find anywhere in the UK that sold them). I thought getting this little ‘tease’ would introduce me to the brand, plus the shades look very appealing. This palette is described as being the “pocket-perfect version” of the original Tartelette palette. I thought it would be slightly bigger, but it is actually pocket sized. It is a similar size to the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palettes, but it is shorter in length and slightly wider. It’s overall layout is landscape with a length of 9.7cm and width of 5.8cm. It is made of cardboard and has a pink, purple and gold theme. The lid of the palette is magnetised and you lift it up to reveal the eyeshadows. It also has a small mirror on the reverse side of the lid and the eyeshadow pans are laid out in two rows of three shades. The pans are rectangular in shape and the shades n...

Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte Darling Easy Eye Palette

I have another Charlotte Tilbury palette post for you today; I have been on a roll with them! You can definitely tell I am a fan of her eyeshadow formula. There are loads of other CT products I would love to try, but I am slowing down the purchases for now as I do have a confession to make at the end of this post! THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of shiny maroon plastic and it has a short, thin and rectangular shape. It has a metallic gold starburst design across the front. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the rectangular eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across a mirrored gold base. The group names are printed on the back of the palette. The shades don’t really have names, but there is a removable plastic insert included which labels the eyeshadows as 1 Prime, 2 Enhance or 3 Smoke. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get six 0.9g eyeshadows in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) finishes.   ·    ...

Lauren Luke Set of 8 Essential Brushes

I have had this brush set for close to two years now and I can’t believe that it has taken me so long to review it. This brush set is by Lauren Luke and she wanted to create brushes that she would use herself and be well made, but not too expensive. When I bought my set the shipping cost was £1.99 (UK), but it may have changed. Large Powder Brush – £6.50 This brush is supposed to be brilliant for applying foundation, bronzer, blush and highlighter. The bristles are 185mm in length and made of goat hair. This is one of my favourite brushes from the set and it is jam packed with bristles, but it is so soft!  It is the perfect size too, because the head is relatively large but the shorter handle makes it sit well. It works well for any powder product and for sweeping away fall out from eyeshadows. The bristles enable you to pick up quite a bit of product, so if you are using colour don’t be heavy handed. I do not recommend using it for cream based products as it can...
