PopSugar + Neiman Marcus Collaboration **SPOILERS**

[LisaLeah]

Am I the only one seriously excited by this kaleidoscope?

I think you can do a really modern smokey eye with it.

And the pinks can easily double as blush!

I am really happy with everything except for the necklace actually.

But that will be easy to re-gift!

I'm not getting it, but I like it! I love playing with pinks on my eyes, though. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I like it too! I had the same blush idea a few posts back, but I like your idea of a modern smokey eye. I'm excited to test it out when my box arrives. It's my first experience with the brand, which is also fun!

I really like this kaleidoscope too! I have from th start! I don't see this is just eye shadow, I too see it as blush, highlighter whateverA! I feel it has multi uses and I am so glad it is in the box! I love everything in the box and if for some reason I can't use it in my house or on my person I can always gift it to someone. I don't even consider it regifting as I bought it and decided to use it as a gift so a gift it shall be! Enjoy your Kaleidoscope and use it for all its worth! I am!

I really like this box, but half of the items I would have gifted if I had purchased.

I didn't really care for the plates/dishes and I didn't "need" another throw.  However, I really want to try the texture spray, maybe I can score some on eBay or via trade.

I am super excited about it. These kaleidoscopes are really special. Since they are designed to be layered, it's hard to judge any color w/out playing with it. I am not a huge pink shadow person at all. Doesn't look great on me. However I have a similiar (kind of) kaleidoscope called Nouvelle Vague.

It is mostly pinks and mauves with a blacker than black 4th shadow. (like this one and btw it's the BEST black shadow ever! Mickey Castillo, the color director of LMdB, designed it to be the most perfect black and he succeeded! )

Once the pinks are layered w/ the black they are transformed. The black softens and shimmers. Almost lightly irridescent.

The pinks deepen and smoke out. They have gorgeous dimension.

It is really stunning.

I can't wait to play w/ this one. The bright poppy-ness of the pinks contrasted w/ the black and golden cream...may lead to magic!!!!!!

@brainybeauty here is a youtube video that shows you how to layer the LMdB shadow.

And you don't have to layer all 4 if you don't want a darker eye. You can layer the top 3 and leave the black as a traditional liner.

@Spiritwind10 hope you love it.

@yousoldtheworld I'm sorry you aren't getting one. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I hope you get tons of fabulous pretties in all your boxes this holiday!

 

[Spiritwind10]

Thanks for the You Tube link Lisa Leah! I know you didn't send it to me, but I also want to know how to use, so I appreciate it! I imagine the colors and shadings will be beautiful just from the colors I have seen! Can't wait to play and use!!!..thank you andi really hope everyone whom got a box enjoys theirs and has fun with it and all the pretties in it! It is meant to be fun, decorative, a change of pace and something to talk about and mostly to enjoy. Enjoy everyone!

 

[brainybeauty]

[@]LisaLeah[/@] thank you SO much for sharing the video. I would have never thought of layering in that sense, but it looks incredible! Side note: that makeup artist is hysterical. I would love to have my makeup done by him because it would probably be such a fun experience.

I'm so happy I bought this box I can not wait to get it hurry up ps and ship my box

 

[plumplant]

Wow after watching that video I am SO excited for the Le Métier kaleidoscope! I'm actually thinking of buying the le métier brushes he used in it because I need new eyeshadow brushes anyways. Anyone have experience with their brushes? There's not many reviews online.

 

[AshJs3]

I still can't track mine by reference. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[melanie0971]

I an pretty glad I didn't get this box. Maybe if it had been less money. The plates are kind of novelty. And I haven't seen up close pics so what's up with the zebra dish? Is it a serving dish?

 

[buhdderkupp]

I think I'm glad I ordered this - the only item I'm not sure what I'll do with is the zebra dish. I'm excited to try out the kaleidoscope. I'm going to put the plate set away until I get my apartment next year. I'm also excited about the necklace!

 

[buhdderkupp]

Also, hi!  I'm new here!

In case you wanted to see it all together.  I put this together for my blog.
This is the first time I've checked this page since spoilers were posted and I have to say I'm glad I didn't get this box. I really like the throw, but I just bought a super soft, fluffy chevron throw from walmart for $15 so I'm okay with missing that, lol. But I do really like those plates! and the zebra dish looks adorable! I'm sad about not getting those even though the plates would eventually have been broken by my kids and I would have absolutely no need to ever use the zebra dish, haha. I really need to buy one of the special edition boxes, just once, at least. I just seem to be glad i didn't buy them after I see spoilers. Maybe I'll buy one of their next ones. Its so much fun getting their regular box every month so getting another one would just add to it!

I'm going gaga over the kaleidoscope- they are a true obsession of mine. If anyone wants to trade there's, let me know /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The kaleidoscopes are usually amazing. There are so many ways to play with them. And YES I have the Le Metier brushes.

I recently purchased them on their Beauty Vault website (www.lemetierdebeaute.com) It's good to check out since they are always having specials and freebies w/ purchase. Right now they are giving away a limited edition Gravite kaleidoscope w/ any purchase from the site.

I purchased the brushes a few weeks ago from the Beauty Vault. I haven't played with them all yet. But I LOVE the eyeshadow brush. It is really wonderful. Especially w/ darker shadows since it has a light touch and makes them very buildable. I don't have the crease brush but I think I may have to pick it up. Caution: This is a true luxury brand so the brushes come w/ a high price tag. You may just want to pick up one brush first before you take the plunge. And it probably should be the eyeshadow paddle brush.

( Note: The brush heads are full size but the handles are extremely short. Just wanted to mention that. I was so surprised when I first saw it!)

Totally. He is such a character, he's almost a cliche!

(coooosh coooosh coooosh!)
