 Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, I am doing a first impressions on the brand new Kaleidos collection that is coming out to you guys very soon. And it is their escape collection. I know. So if you are interested in seeing my thoughts on this as well as may or may not be a giveaway, I don't know, then just keep watching. Oh, you guys, I am so excited to do this video. I most definitely wanted to do a whole first impressions of this collection because there's a lot of products and you guys know I love Kaleidos. I think they are a totally underrated brand and this by far without even putting the stuff on my face. It's their best collection. So I did get it in PR, which I am so eternally grateful for, but I totally would purchase their stuff with my own money. Here's the package that it came in. I am so eternally grateful that they consider me when sending out these PR packages and it comes with a lock and then here are all of the beautiful products displayed. I took the products out. These are just the boxes, but they are doing such a good job. You guys, if you aren't familiar with Kaleidos, they are an indie company. And what I love about them is just how unique they are and how they really follow through with their vision. I think they really have a fresh set of ideas as far as the makeup industry goes and everything about the brand is just really cool, really well thought out. I love it. I really do. So when I got the email about this collection coming out, I was so excited because they really notched it up this time. They only had eyeshadow palettes of five. Now they have this big, I believe it's 15. You'll see, you'll see, but so excited for it. They're expanding their line and again, thank you so much Kaleidos for sending this my way. I am so grateful and very excited to try these products out. Now they did. I think they accidentally sent me two PR packages, so I do have a second one. So I will be giving that away. So make sure you stay tuned till the end of the video where I will announce how you can win your very own PR set of this amazingness. Let's just get into it. Unfortunately, I do not have any information as far as pricing goes. This collection is going to release in June. No exact date also. I'm going to kind of ballpark where I think the prices would be for each item. But again, as soon as I know, I'll write it in the description box, but we're going to start off with the first thing that came out. And it looks like they've come out with some sponges. This one is wet. This one is not. So you have a purple one, a lavender one. You guys know how much I love my lavender. This is the same shape as the real technique sponge. And then you have this green one. This one's dry. So it's a little bit smaller. This one I would use more so for contouring, baking, things like that because it is an interesting shape. I can imagine it being kind of hard to actually spread foundation, but this is what I would use for powder and things like that. So I'm just going to use the purple one today to apply my foundation. So I'm just going to use a Trident True for me, the Makeup Forever Ultra HD foundation. I wear the shade R330. And let's see how this spreads out. First thing I'm going to do is try and cover my problem side right now. For me, how I like to apply foundation if you aren't familiar with my channel, I like to spread it out with my finger. And then I'll use the sponge to blend it in and push it in. That's what I find works for me the best. So this sponge does feel very, very soft. I don't have a sponge that really feels like this. I can't describe it. I don't know, but it just feels a little bit more soft to the touch than the Beauty Blender. But it's a little bit more dense when you squish it. This is a nice sponge. I approve of this. It's spreading the foundation nice and evenly. It's not too hard on my face. I absolutely cannot stand sponges that just feel hard when I'm pushing in the product. So the texture of it's very nice. But again, it's not as like spongy as say a Beauty Blender, but it's definitely getting the job done. As far as price point on this, I'm going to guess this would be around $8, $9, $10. I don't know, maybe more, maybe less, but their brushes are relatively affordable. You can get a brush set for $20 or you can buy a brush individually for about $8, $7, $6. So I'm going to guess this might be around $8. Just kind of playing off of their already existing price point. I mean, I don't think it's soaking up any more product than a sponge already would. I think this is a good sponge. Okay, so at this point, I'm going to finish the rest of my face makeup as far as concealer, powder, eyebrows, bronzer. And then we're going to go into the eyes. So I'll be right back. So the base is down. We're going to zoom in to the eyes. This, of course, is the most exciting part. So in this collection, they came out with an eye primer and this is called the Tone Activator Eye Primer. It enhances eyeshadow and pigments, vibrancy and color payoff, makes colors pop, prevents smudging, prevents creasing, and is water-resistant. This guy has a six month lifespan. I was looking through their website. Honestly, I have no idea how they are going to price this just because they don't have a product like this. So I definitely already can tell I put way too much out on the back of my hand. It's a very liquidy consistency, so little is going to go a long way. We are getting a little bit of coverage on the eyelid, which I really like. I much prefer primers that have a skin tone finish to them just because it covers a little bit of extra veinage on the eyelids. I did have a little bit of concealer blended up there, and I do feel like it is causing that concealer to move a little bit, which isn't ideal. But suggestion would be not to blend concealer onto the eyelid, which is fine because this has some coverage to it. And then I like to go in with my sponge and kind of spread everything out. The sponge, by the way, if it is like five, six, seven, eight dollars, totally worth it. If it's anything more than $10, stick with real techniques. I'm going to give that a second to set down and we're going to get into the eye look. So how my eyelids are feeling, it dries down. It's not really tacky and the coverage is minimal. I'm going to go off camera and do this eye so that way I can get a real feel for the pigments and let you guys know on this eye the best way to apply them. So that's why I do this eye first because I feel like my explanation and the advice I can give you is better on the second eye. So I'll be right back. Hi, okay, I'm back. The look is done. I love it. I'm going to show you how to do it on this eye, but really quickly, let's talk about the details of this palette. So this is a 15 shade palette. They do not have a 15 shade palette in their line. They only have five shade palettes and those are $24. I'm going to say this might be in the ballpark of $40 or $50. Again, no idea. I'm going to reapply just a little bit more of that eye primer. All of the shadows did seem to blend very smoothly on the eyelid. Again, an eye primer is kind of hard to tell first shot. So here are the swatches of the palette. Absolutely beautiful. I can't say that these shadows did all swatch with ease as you can see the majority of the shadows. I feel like this color story was made for me. If I'm being honest, these are my colors, primarily lavender, but we also have pumps of green in here and just some original colors. The color story of this really, really speaks to me on a very deep level. So the color story, yes. Swatching so far, yes. And then also the finishes in here, beautiful. So you have nine matte shades and then you have six shimmer glitter shades. I would say these are between glitter and a lid topper. Some shadows are a little bit more lid topper than others. Some have more of a pigmented base. But I mean, take a look for yourself. I think the color story is beautiful. I love the quality of their textured shadows. I've always been in love with their glittery shimmery kind of shades and they did not disappoint here. Let's just get into the application so that I can talk to you guys some more. So I'm going to start off with a little bit of loft, which is this kind of skin tone beigey kind of shade. Love that they added this in. I think this is a very important shade in a palette and I'm just running this underneath the brow bone. I always like to start here with the shadow look. You do, as you can see, have some neutral options as well. I'm going to start off with carnival. I'm using a Kaleidos S1 brush, which is a big fluffy brush. One thing to know about these shadows is they are powdery. So make sure you tap off the brush before you apply it to the eyelid. And I did find that with these shades, they can blend out a little bit more than you would like to the point where the color itself fades a little bit if you over blend, but they do build up very well. So even after you blend, you can apply more, but as you can see, they still are very vibrant. It's just there is such a thing as over blending with these shadows. But for the most part, everything worked great. And I liked that even if you did over blend, they built up very easily once again. So this is just going on the inner half of my crease and I'm really, really blending that up into the brow. And now taking a Kaleidos S2 brush, we are going to use Soiree, which is this cute lavender shade with the escape button. And this is going to be our middle kind of crease color. This blending in with that orange kind of turns it pink. I'm very impressed with this lavender shade a little bit not as pigmented as I would like. This is a harder color to formulate. And as you can see, it's behaving and that's the important part. It's doing what I wanted to do. Again, this is kind of an overarching color. So I am going to put that kind of high with a Luxe 229. I'm taking a Mardi Gras right here. This is just going to deepen and it almost has a kind of hot pink undertone. Do it. I don't know if you can see it, but it's a little bit pinky, which I really like. I think it complements the orange very well. This shade can lean a little bit patchy if you are not careful, but take your time, work it out very, very good. Then with this kind of fat brush, I'm taking Exoplanet. This is a very, very unique shade. You don't see a shade like this a lot in palettes. So I tapped off the excess and I'm going to press. So this shade can go very wrong very quickly. It's a hard, hard color to formulate one of the hardest. So you'll find a lot of times these are pressed pigments. They're harder to build, harder to blend. Over top of Mardi Gras, it's more purple. And then you'll see as you carry over onto the lid where there isn't much color. It's more of that blue, which I think is really cute. But it doesn't matter really too much how it's looking on the lid. I'm just using this shade to add some definition. But I love how these colors blend into each other. Definitely a very cohesive color story. If you ask me, they just work together. With a Kaleidos S3, I'm going to start off with Flamingo, which is the hot pink along my lower lash line and then more towards the inner part of my lower lash line. I'm going to add tango on top to tie this color to down here. So I put it on at the tip of the brush and I'm going to apply that hot pink all along the lower lash line. I will let you guys know if this stains most hot pinks do stain my eyelid. I'm just kind of wiping the brush on the back of my hand and going into tango, which is that hot orange color. This guy is going to go in to tie Carnival together, that first color that we used in the inner half of the crease. And then for some depth here, I'm going to take a little bit of the darkest purple that we used, kind of blend this out here. And then I'm taking Exoplanet, which is that blue, purple, periwinkle color right on top. And that's just going to tie the top and the bottom together. But still go in with this pinky-orangey brush and kind of blend this out. I'm going to bring it low. This is a dramatic look. You guys, obsessed. Okay, so now we're into the fun part. I think where Kaleidos really kills it is in their shimmer shade. They're very glittery. If you don't like these kind of glittery, copper kind of finishes, you won't like this palette. But as far as the mattes go, I mean, I got this look with ease and these are not easy colors. So I think they've done a very good job. So I'm going to take Galactic Gala, which is this glittery green shade. Absolutely stunning. This is an interesting place for me to put it. Normally, I wouldn't do this. I would put like a pinky to purple all over my lid. But I did really want to play with this green color. And I mean, as you can see, it is absolutely incredible. And I'm just applying that to the inner half of my lid. It really contrasts with the orange, which I think looks really cool. And then we're going to take some of Cosmic Cabaret, which is the darker glittery purple kind of color. And this is going to go on the outer half of the lid over top of the purple colors. Then I'm going to pat to blend these two shades together and then take a brush, just kind of blend those glitters out. Finally, I'm just taking a really small pointy kind of brush and I'm taking some of Starlight Sonata. And this is definitely more of a lid topper. It's more about the glitter effect that you get on your lid. But we're just going to use this to brighten up. I feel like this always brings a look together and put just a little bit here. And so this is the shadow look. I absolutely love it. I think I'm going to go in with a little bit more of that periwinkle blue shade right here. I'm going to do a liner and lashes and then I'll be back. Got a few more products to try, just a few more. Lashes are on, I'm loving the look. Yeah, if you couldn't tell, kind of really into that palette. Let's move on to the other items in the collection. So they came out with blushes and this is the first time they've done blushes. So I can't tell you how much I think it's going to be because these are very different. These are called the lo-fi duo blushers. So there's two shades in the collection. First of all, take a look at the packaging. Like this is why I love Colitis. Just so cute, so on theme, very original. So the first one that we have here is this is the lo-fi peach. So these do have a mirror. They feel quite weighty and then you have a blush and then I don't know if this is like a blush topper or a highlighter. So I'm going to swatch this one for you. So again, this is lo-fi peach and this is the darker one. Here is the lighter one. This is lo-fi rose. It has lavender packaging and really, really soft and pretty. This one is very cool tone. I can see this working with a lot of different looks. One thing though, these definitely are not going to cater to medium or deeper skin tones. I don't really see these working for you. So I would love to see them expand the range. I'm going to do one on one side, one on the other side, and then I want to blend them together because I want this look to look good. I want to wear it around a little bit around my house. So we're going to start off with the peach one on this cheek and I'm just going to put this on. Bottom shade is a matte finish and it's blending out pretty good. I don't think blushes are too difficult to formulate and I'm going to take the Kaleidos H1, which is my current most used highlighter brush. I've been grabbing for this like crazy. I'm going to take the top shade, which is this peachy pinky kind of duochrome. Okay. Yeah, for me, I can't use this as a highlighter. It's definitely too deep. So this needs to be blended on top. It's kind of like a blush topper or a bridge between the blush and the highlight. Yeah, I don't really like the shade on me. I don't really think it's very good for my skin tone. It's just too dark to work as a highlighter too shiny for an all over blush, but the bottom blush itself really, really gorgeous. How I would use this is just two taps, but I don't think it has a very good blush topper finish to it. And then let's move on to a rose. I love this one. Let me wipe this off really quick. So we're taking the bottom shade, which is Mood. Very pretty, very soft. It does show up on my skin. Even like the way it's swatched, I was a little bit worried, but this gives a very nice natural flush on my cheek medium skin tones. So I just don't see this working and then we're taking the top. This one should actually work as a little bit of a highlight. If these are highlights, they're not as smooth as I would like for them to be. I do think they can kind of emphasize a little bit of texture, not really giving you that glow from within look like they're okay. And it just kind of gives a really galactic kind of pink highlighter vibe and then not very flattering as a blush topper. So I'm digging for sure the matte shades, the top shades. I need to play around with them a little bit more. I do prefer this as a highlighter, but it doesn't really lift. It just kind of gives a pink finish to it. But these are super cute though. So they also came out with three new highlighters. I have all of their highlighters. I really do enjoy them. So they came out with three new shades and then one shade that's supposed to be reformulated. So the one that's reformulated is Ray Rider. By the way, these are going to be $14 each. That's how much they are on the website. Honestly, I really can't tell too much of a difference between the old one and the new one. I did swatch them side by side. So the new one is going to be on top and then the old one is going to be on the bottom. I would say the old one is a tad darker and the new one is just a little bit more of a bright pop. And I really like these highlighters. I think they're very good, very smooth and they have very pretty colors. So that one was Ray Rider reformulated. It's just a little bit brighter than the old one. Other than that, I can't really tell too much of a difference, but they have three new colors. So the first one is Diamond Dasher. And unfortunately, this one came broken for me, which is sad because it's my favorite color, but it's all smashed up. But it has like a very soft golden pink champagne to it. This is probably the most wearable, which is why I'm sad. And then we have Mars Meltter. Look how cute this packaging is. Like so obsessed and it's a good quality highlighter. Now, if you're not into like duo chrome kind of highlighters, which I'm not the biggest fan of, these colors are a little bit unwearable. But if you're looking for wearable shades, Ray Rider's wearable and then this new one Diamond Dasher is. Mars Meltter has a little bit more of a pinky undertone to it. This is actually quite wearable and then Moon Cruiser, which looks like this. It's blue. This is a blue kind of purpley duo chrome highlighter. Really, really neat. You can really see that duo chrome here for this. This is like a cool lid color inner corner color for my taste. So I have a lot of pink on my cheeks. So I think I'm going to put on some of Mars Meltter just on top and see how it differentiates from the highlighters I used in the blush duos. Yeah, this one definitely has a little bit more pizzazz applies a little bit more smooth to the skin. Didn't expect to go so pink with my highlighter. And I'm going to put just a touch of my broken Diamond Dasher just right on top to add a little extra beam. May have to just order myself a new one of this because I really like this really glowy kind of color. Now Diamond Dasher though, it does have glitter in it. If you don't like a glittery highlight, don't get that one because I can't see glitter on my face, but I like it. I'm still in my 20s. I'm going to wear glitter while I can. So they also came out with a lip gloss. This is a lucid lip in the shade hypnotize. These are going to be $16. That's how much these are on the website. And this is really pretty golden glitters kind of a more maroonish base. I'm going to show you it alone. Oh, kind of hot pink. I do like the formula of their lip products. I think they're really nice and underrated. This is kind of not too much color to it. More of a gloss kind of you can see the glitter is poking through. So I'm going to put on a quick lip color. Put this back on top and then I'll show you the final look and then we'll go over my final thoughts on the products. All right. So here's the final look. Here's what we're working with as I thought about it. I did a very colorful look kind of similar to this one with both my Jackie Aina palette and the Jeffree star the purple blood loss. I just love this look. So final thoughts on the products. I think that the sponges are good. This is an interesting shape. If they're worth it or not is going to depend on the price. I think between five to $10 you're golden. These are great to kind of pick up as you're ordering other things from the website. And notice it's soaking up too much product. I haven't tried this one, but I think it'll be very nice if you like to bake and shape your face with powders. The eye primer. It's very hard to tell right now. I'm not a big eye primer person. I don't have oily eyelids or anything. So I'm probably not the best person to learn about this product from. What I will say is it does give you a little bit of color that I like and the shadow is blended on top. Very nice. I don't think it's light enough to really make colors pop a ton. From what I can tell it's fine. But again, not the best judge of that. The eyeshadow palette called the Escape Pod. I mean, couldn't you tell? I really, really enjoy this color story and the quality I think is fantastic. The only thing is the packaging is a little bit chunky. She thick. She is thick, but I think just the whole concept and everything and the product itself is really beautiful. This is my favorite palette from them. I genuinely just really enjoy this palette a lot. Very good. I think of my tutorial and every explanation in that sense kind of summed it up pretty well. The blushers, color range, they need more for sure. I think the matte blush, they got a good formula for sure. I'm still kind of warming up to these top colors. I just don't find them to be very flattering. I think they kind of emphasize a little bit of texture and they're just not the right tone for me to be able to work because they're kind of dark for highlighters, but they're also kind of too shiny for blush toppers. So I'm going to have to continue playing with those. But they're so pretty. I just love this duo here and the packaging and all of that. Really pretty. I just need to figure out how to get those top colors to work for me. The highlighters, I didn't cover too much because they've been in their line for a while. They're really beautiful. They're a good formula. They're smooth on the skin, easy to apply. And if you like duo chrome kind of colors, I think you will like these for more wearable colors. I would go with Ray Rider or Diamond Dasher, but only if you like glitter on your face, then go for Diamond Dasher. But Diamond Dasher is interesting because it's the most wearable color, but it also has glitter. So it depends what you're into, but you also have a strong pink highlight and then a strong blue highlight. A lucid lip on initial application. I really saw the color that was in the tube, but it actually blends out to be pretty sheer with just a little bit of that glitter finish. It's a nice formula. It's not sticky at all. Very comfortable on the lips. Definitely moisturizes it. I put it on top of the another round lip pencil from Colourpop and it's an overall nice gloss. I don't think it's the standout product in this collection by any means, but it's good. I don't have anything bad to say. Overall, I think they definitely had a banger with this collection. They did a really good job. I'm very excited to see Kaleidos growing and developing more products and creating bigger collections. Just as a company, you know, the people behind the brand are also really nice. So as a company, I would do nothing but support them. And if you are interested in these products, definitely I give them the thumbs up.
