I won't be able to pick up my box until Saturday

.

From the picture though it doesn't look very women of color friendly

Actually it may work for you. The 2nd color especially. The 1st one too. (they are more vibrant in person than the photo's)

The only one that may not work is the tawny blush/bronzer.

Let us know what you think when you pick up your box!

And you can always use any of them for shadows if they don't work as blushers.

I can see the tawny one being a great nude base for the lid. And the highlighter a good under brow highlighter.

So I swatched them on my hand and I don't think they'll work for me. The pinks look chalky on my skin the taupe I can't even see, the highlight however is nice. But i consider one out of 4 a bust(I would never buy a palette where only one of four items worked for me). So all in all I'm disappointed that this item wasn't an item that all color ranges could use. Smh

I am so sorry.

I mean it is always a crap shoot whether or not colors or products will be right for you when you sign up for any sub.

But maybe you can trade it?

Especially if it is just lightly swatched.

Yea I'm going to try to trade it. And for the record, although I'm disappointed in this months gift I still love this box subscription!!! Definitely worth the money and I hope I'm lucky enough to be able to sign up next year too.

I'd be interested in trading for it!

the first month, my k'scope was the silver chrome lipgloss set. It felt more sturdy and the mirror is magnetic. The black one (thought I love it to bits) feels plastic-y like it might snap off if i'm not too careful. Am I crazy?

This decision will allow us to focus more energy on Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Bloomingdales - as well as our independent retail partners. XO LMdB."

Too bad I missed the big sale, my holiday budget didn't include those treats. The Saks near me didn't carry LMdB anyway so no big loss, although my Norstrom doesn't either. Thankful for internet swatchers, keep up the good work!

Also, I got the cheek kaleidoscope in the first box, but was sooo jealous of the face kaleidoscope. I don't consider this month a repeat at all! The highlighter is very natural, the bronzer doesn't turn red on me, and the blushes look a lot less neon on me than the pinks in the cheek kaleidoscope. Still loving the more golden shades in the cheek set and having fun playing with all of them together.

Hmmmm...if they're planning to clear out stock, I think they would send all of the extra LMdB to Sak's OFF 5TH outlet stores. I actually have one of those nearby! Maybe in a few weeks, I'll go check to see if they've added LMdB stuff.

No, I absolutely agree with you! I have the lip kaleidoscope as well, and it feels so much sturdier and nicer than this one does. I'm thinking of moving the face pans over to the sliver kaleidoscope once I finish the lip glosses. The black one feels like it's going to break.

I love my new check kaleidescope- Im pretty fair & creamy & this pallette was made for me. All the colors blend so nicely. I've been using the pinks on my cheeks & and up my cheek bones- the tawny in the hollows on my cheek bones and then highlighter on the top - wisping it up towards the corners of my eyes. Looks ulta fabulous!! I love these products- everything is ultra pigmented & blends soooo beautifully!!

Ooh, it's here! I almost missed it, though, because the UPS driver left it on top of my neigh it's mailbox instead of between my screen and front doors like most delivery drivers do. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm already in love! I was expecting the bronze shade to be darker and unwearable, but I do think I can figure out a way to work with it.

I think this has been easily my favorite month so far. I liked my lip kaleidoscope in the first box, but I'd much rather the convenience of a lip cream. I'm dying for their shadows especially after the video about their blending technique. I've got my finger crossed for an eye kaleidoscope before this is through so I can fully experience their method. I presume at least one lip cream is coming, and after snagging the two from the Saks sale, I'm super anxious. They are brilliant!

There's a gal on the Popsugar swaps and trade that's trading her "pretty in punk" eye shadow kaleidescope, if your interested in trading for one. Its one of the last posts on that forum- super easy to find. It's an amazing array of colors- super fun to play with & looks awesome with the black liquid liner we got in our first box. The colors blend together beautifully !!

I saw those and they look awesome! I'm just doubtful I have anything I could trade! It's worth a shot even if I have to buy something possibly. Thanks for the idea!

Ho hum haven't gotten mine yet. I requested an address change and I think mine was pulled and forgotten about. After I pinged them the label was generated today!

I didn't know that saks 5th outlet sold makeup!!! Guess I am heading over there!!

I am in love with my k-scope. The highlighter powder is my absolute fav!!!

  What are people's thoughts now that they've had a few days to play with the face kaleidoscope?  I've been layering the first 3 colors over each other and using the highlighter on the tops of my cheeks, bridge of nose, and temples.  The colors work well for my complexion, but they do seem better suited for those who are fair to medium complected.


Looks great on you, I am still waiting for mine to arrive.

I got the lip one in my first box, hoping for a shadow kaleidoscope and more lipstick.

I was just looking at myUPS for other deliveries and noticed Metier Tribeca is showing up for a delivery on 12/16.  Anyone else have that?  I haven't ordered anything from them and I just got the blush k-scope at the end of last week...

I've got one listed for the 17th. I'm thinking they're just prepping January far ahead of time since I've seen similar things happen before.

Oh ok, that makes sense, especially with a lot of people probably taking off for the holidays.
