When I first heard that KALEIDOS was
releasing a new Space Age highlighter, I knew I would be getting it! They have
also updated the packaging of all of the highlighter tins and they reformulated
Mars Melter. They were re-stocking all of the highlighters on Monday 9th
November 8pm PST, so that was Tuesday 10th November 4am for me! I
stayed up waiting for the website to be live and I finally got my hands on Sky
Walker and I also picked up the reformulated Mars Melter and the new Space Age
Prophecy of course! There was also a sale on the whole site, I got Mars Melter
and Sky Walker for $10.50 (RRP $14.00) each and The Space Age Prophecy for
$27.00 (RRP $36.00). I am really surprised they offered a discount for the
newest highlighter as it was also the launch date for it and there is only a
limited quantity available of this highlighter every week. I was very lucky; I
got on the site at 4:01am and was checked out and paid up by 4:03am! I paid
$8.00 shipping and my order came to $56.00 altogether, which is about £44.35.
You get 1.8g (SAP), 3g (SW) and 2.8g
(MM) of powder in a round pan housed inside a cute little rubberised metal
effect colour matching tin. There is also a different imprint pressed into each
powder.

MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I now own all nine of the Space Age
Highlighters and I couldn’t be happier! I am still missing Laser Glazer (G02) [bright green with rose gold shift], but it was
discontinued early this year and it doesn’t look like it will ever be coming
back. My new reformulated Mars Melter
actually arrived broken and I was sent a replacement, but that too arrived
broken! My second replacement arrived in perfect condition yesterday morning
(third time lucky). The original Mars
Melter has a white looking base with a mostly magenta glow. The new one has
a peachy/coral looking base with glitter. You can see the magenta red hints,
but it mostly reads amber to me. I have actually decided to keep both versions
of Mars Melter as they are different
enough. The original is softer and has a more magenta glow, the reformulated
version just amps it up a little with glitter and has a slightly different hue.
I don’t know why they didn’t just give the new version a different name and keep
both versions as separate highlighters. The
Space Age Prophecy is stunning; I haven’t seen a highlighter like it before.
It is definitely not for the faint of heart! It applies so smooth and glows
like a glitter bomb! Sky Walker is
also a beautiful shade, just slightly more icy looking than Moon Cruiser. My swatch photos really
do not do the shades justice; it is really hard for me to pick up these shifts
on camera. All of the Space Age highlighters seem to have a blue under base to
them. You can tell that by some of my swatches, the only one that doesn’t seem
to have a blue under base is Ray Rider.
Like I’ve said before, these are probably my all-time favourite highlighters! I
still wish that they would release a purple/lilac shift shade in a purple tin;
a turquoise shift shade would be cool too!
