Kaleidoscope Eye Kit in Penelope

I was so excited to win this in the contest that Beautylish had! This is in a price bracket that I usually can't touch, so it was quite a treat to get to try something this nice.

The quality of the shadows is superb; they're so finely milled that you have to be a little careful about how hard you dip your brush, but it makes blending almost unnecessary. All the colors are lovely in the pan but I had the hardest time making it all work together using their layering technique. I'm *still* trying to make that work a month later! Also, my skin is tan with a reddish undertone, so even with a lighter primer the gold just kinda vanished.

Overall, I liked the palette but I couldn't make these shadows work together with my skin tone. I'll definitely still be using them in conjunction with other shadows or just individually as they're amazing color and quality.

So I won this Kaleidoscope from here, thanks so much beautylish!!!! I could never afford this so I am extremely grateful!

Each color is very unique and I love them! However the textures of the shadows were not all the same, might just be the kit I got though. Blonde Amber and Bronze Topaz (1st and 3rd swatches) are smooth and buttery, easy to apply, very blendable and opaque. Pale Satin Amethyst and Black Emerald (2nd and 4th) were a little chalky and I had to pack on the color more. They all have a little shimmer to them and no creasing issues when used with a base! They come in an interesting swivel compact which is very sturdy and also has a flip out mirror!

If you can afford this and are looking for some unique colors, I definitely recommend this!
