Also are these colors also in the flawless face or other kits? I wish that the kits would not dupe eyeshadows or at least use the same name so that if it is in more than one kit, you would know. When kits or palettes dupe colors from one to another it makes me not want to buy it because I already have the color.

I don't care if MAC or LMdB reissues colors, or recombines old and/or existing colors in new kaleidoscopes - it's a great opportunity for those who may have missed kaleidoscopes no longer available. I personally don't need or want dupes at these prices.

The taupe in the kaleidoscope photo looks like the taupe in Le Cirque; the swatched version on your arm looks like a golden shade in Devotion or Silk Road. The swatched Peach color looks like the Echo blush I use. I think I'll take my kaleidoscopes with me to see if the colors actually are similar.

It would take me much more time than I've got to chase down the colors I've already got to compare. As you said, it doesn't matter to me anyhow. :)Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-41501953409295889342011-12-05T14:34:44.640-05:002011-12-05T14:34:44.640-05:00This looks lovely!

From your swatches it looks more antique gold whereas the 'Penelope' colour is more pinky bronze. Oh dear, I think it's safe to say I'm taupe obsessed!

Also, the purple shade looks close to the last shade in the Modernist Merlot Kaleidescope (which I have). It doesn't matter to me because I think I will absolutely love this kit, but just making an observation. You are the best for DENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03698019995014356154noreply@blogger.com
