I usually buy Kaleidos directly on their website but since i only wanted one thing and also other palettes at monolith i bought it here for efficience. Kaleidos quality is always amazing! I'm so happy i finally got this quad (i have been pondering for many months). It's purple but cooler toned and muted vibes. I have another quad from them, more taupe-mauve vibes and this one is very useful for me. The shimmer is more pink-leaning than lilac-leaning but i bought this quad for the mattes and they are everything i wanted them to be. This is like a "neutral" effortless look for me. Kaleidos quality is always excellent.
First time buying from this brand. Very happy with the mattes quality but a bit disapointed with the shimmers. (It's half the price, or more, compared to BBB or ER so of course the shimmers cannot be compared but i thought the shimmers to be very inconsistent formula thru this palette. The indigo purple for example is very hard pressed in the pan and very hard to use and other shimmers very low-key in shine but it's ok, it was produced with this finish in mind). The color story is kinda muted, grungy and versatile altho the inside organization is kinda chaotic to my taste. So i have used this palette more like a companion palette than to do full looks with only the palette. But tbh, after my initial disapointment with the shimmers, the quality is very very good for the price! If this kinda thing existed back when i first experimented with makeup i would have been over the moon. Fun color stories for affordable price and easy to use shadows! It's just than now i have bigger expectation about the shimmer and special shades etc. But I am very satisfied!
This is my second ER palette and the curation of color is exactly was i was looking for. More vibrant and saturated than the more muted tones in my collection. The mattes are so easy to use, blend and build up. The shimmer quality is always so so good! I surprised myself to reach out for this palette more often than i initially thought. I was afraid that the yellow, golden tones would not match my skin undertone but was pleasantly surprised. This color story screams summer it's so much fun and it's quite versatile many options. ER is quite expensive but the quality is worth all the money. Super happy with this one since i love teal/turquoise and magenta/fushia colors. I reach out for those shimmers with mattes from other palettes very often (when i'm in a more muted mood).
