I Don't Know How To Feel... Kaleidos Flower Punk Collection: Swatches, Comparisons, Demo, Dupes

[@hexx2211]

"I'm partial to this color story." Oh we can tell, the palette camouflaged into you background lol

[@kristylance2657]

Not sure if someone mentioned this already, but you can attach the mirror to the pallet. It’s magnetic, turn it around and stick to the top (covering the Kaleidos name)

[@defectiveshark7602]

I'm 36 and this collection and its marketing sent me right back to the 90s, like right back to Wet Seal and Revlon Street Wear. I love the look you made with it, it's such a perfect mix of grunge and pastels

[@kraft.singles]

GOD I MISS WET SEAL SO MUCH I'm so sad Wet Seal was the PLACE for the early 2000's

[@Ryanneey]

Every time I hear Wet Seal, I think Drag Race 😅

[@faeriesmak]

Revlon Streetwear was the best. It was really innovative or the time, especially with their nail polish colors. I went through 3 bottles of Toad!

[@defectiveshark7602]

@@faeriesmak Man, I went back and looked at the collection, and they were even further ahead than I remembered - and from a drugstore brand. If 90s-early 2000's fashion insists on coming back, I'd love to see a return of that collection.

[@omgkthxbi]

@@kraft.singles lmao my mom used to love wet seal... remember when it was called Contempo Casuals tho (fucking CLUELESS makes a reference to it!!)

[@putocuchinta]

I feel like "flower punk" is pretty on brand for your fantasy!

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

If Kaleidos offered their shades as singles they would get ALL of my money! 💸💜💸💜💸

[@jennawar13]

They totally should offer singles especially since their smaller palettes are magnetic pans or so I am told

[@kristentrep5038]

I just love my single shadows.. Kaleidos gets all my $ anyway tho bc I’m also a sucker for pretty and unique packaging

[@gillypiexo]

same AF!

[@miscellaneouscell]

Yes if more companies did this I’d be in trouble!

[@degenerate2281]

Same. I legit just want all the grungy greens and I hate that I only have the dupe for one shade. Getting singles would be stellar

[@emiryan_]

Really appreciate having time stamps, thank you for that!

[@KendraMorgan]

I liked seeing the comparisons with other Kaleidos PALETTES 🎨!!!

[@chloer2996]

I hope Kaleidos branches out into tools and bags. Their artistic designs are blowing me away and make me want to invest in some bags and tools I can really adore. Ooof a mix between allie glines bag designs and Kaleidos art 🎨 😍🤩

[@Autumn_Victoria]

They do have some stuff and have had more in the past. Like the have 3 face brushes & the space suit brush bag. They had eye brushes in the past and they were amazing. But yes! I want makeup bags and full brush sets. Their artwork and themes always get me!

[@chloer2996]

[@bishie08]

You got your haircut, you look so pretty!Also no pink hair. And the eyelook is pretty, very spring!

[@ghoultiful]

Lauren's like here's the info, my opinion, palette dupes, and single dupes. TYSM!

[@rambojspencer]

I got the whole collection! I'm a little concerned how that darker shade blended. Theresa is dead said the same exact thing...It was patchy. But to me you out of everybody did the prettiest look with the colors. I guess we will have to see when I try it out!

[@4booky831]

Totally agree Lauren has a way of coming up with colors that is so unique and super flattering!!

[@themirrorbeauty]

Have you tried them out yet? I am curious how they perform for different people.

[@thRbbrdckE]

I think the packaging makes the mirror much more usable to me! I can usually never use any palette mirrors bc I’m so nearsighted hahah so it would be great to be able to hold the mirror right up to my face without having to breathe down onto the eyeshadows!

[@gladitsnotme]

I love the fact that the mirror is detachable. I always use a separate mirror when I'm doing my eyes because I need to get up close. I hate breathing into my shadow pans and sticking my teeth in them by getting it that close, so I just use a different mirror.

[@gillypiexo]

dude! the palette matches your background *EXACTLY* so saying this palette is So you, it SO IS!!! Also WOW 😍 thank you so much for all of these comparisons! Your hard work Woo Woo!!! 🤩🤯🥳😎💖

[@blackathena1565]

This is the most unique color story I've seen in awhile - I'm happy it's permanent! I LOVE how you mix colors and wish you would do a 3 looks/1 palette...

[@JonanaBanana4]

I really adore the color story, but realistically, I only want it for the greens. I could probably buy similar shades in singles that I would use more.

[@justkimberxoxo]

Devinah cosmetics has the best greens!

[@wendydunn3964]

Lauren! You gotta dupe the Zendo palette! Give me strength!

[@meganp1800]

I love that your outfit perfectly matches the background and the palette.

[@katiescott3354]

Wow, the sandcastle lip set are all so similar to me? I feel like they shouldn't have been put in a set together. The tones are slightly different but the depth of the colours aren't.

[@spaceysno1girl-youtuber]

Hard pan can also happen with oils on your fingertips so not necessarily a product issue, i like the removable lid its a nice touch, i never use mirrors in palettes but have been using this as its easier to use to apply all my makeup, i do think its very very Melt though, mainly the grungy green shades but i can definitely see it.

[@mecha5409]

Your eye looks are always stunning, you’re my biggest makeup inspiration!

[@omgkthxbi]

I was SO CLOSE to getting this but I talked myself out of it cuz I own Melt Gemini, Millennial Pinx and Smoke Sessions and figured between those three I can achieve almost identitcal looks... but ITS SO PRETTTYYYYYYYYY i might just get the dresser/jewelry box when its available again lol

[@MakeyJu]

wow, I am really surprised, most of this palette is completely unique to your (pretty extensive!) collection, impressive :D I really like this palette

[@jennifergreene2081]

Beautiful. I feel like my Mel Thompson palette, my BeautBean palette, and CP Mint to Be together can give me most of these.

[@Americaisgone]

I completely agree! I have the same colors by using my Huda New Noods palette, the Give me Glow Juicy Olive, and the Melt Smoke Sessions.

[@jennifergreene2081]

@@Americaisgone yes! Juicy Olive. I have that, too.

[@anaquezia5532]

I loooove the video!! Just thought that would be better if the sandcastle lipsticks had more variety of deeper to lighter nudes instead of super similar mid browns

[@tinacahoon9819]

I agree. Very same same same to me.

yeassssss I needed this hello Lauren!!!!!!! also I love your clothing style I'd love to see more clothing from you

[@kate98765]

I think all brands might struggle with the dirty yellow chartreuse type colors. I had that issue with the Melt Gemini

[@GoiterGoblin]

I don’t see other people utilizing shimmers the way you do and it is so fresh and fun. You make me want to play with makeup more than I have in years!

[@flincoln]

I hate how similar the nude lipsticks are to each other! I would have bought that bundle but I don't want to bring in 4 very similar lipsticks into my collection at once.

[@anaquezia5532]

Yeah I feel the same! I loved the packaging but they look so similar!

[@thisisnotsade]

You should check out Tammi Clarkes video, she swatches them all on her lips and they look more different that way

[@awesomealllstar13]

When I first saw this being released idkk why but I got melt vibes from it. I’m excited for this collection though. I feel like their stuff is usually very creative compared to what we usually see lately 😊

[@masielmacias]

I loved the color story. Like almost everyone else, I felt Melt vibes. I feel like I own all of these colors, with the exception of the neon, with my Melt collection. Smoke Sessions, Millennial Pinx, and Gemini, from left to right. I don't really go for neon, so I don't own Radioactive, but I would guess that it would hold a dupe for the neon. In a way, I'm glad the layout is Melt-like. Had they used square or round pans in a block formation, I likely would have tried to purchase it immediately not realizing I already own similar enough colors that wouldn't look too different on the eye. I'm super grateful for your swatches. I was able to follow along and pick out the colors I have in my Melt collection.

[@galacticgabs]

same!!! i have gemini and muerte so considering that kaleidos put the similar colors in the exact same spot/ side of the palette it was easy to say no to this

[@alexandragatto]

"It came with temporary tattoos... Not a lot of brands are doing this kind of thing" *Trixie Cosmetics has entered the chat* I have been thinking for a while that I would love to see you review some of the Trixie products! Though they are focused a lot on loose glitters and lips and those aren't your fave things haha. Their blush palettes are pretty iconic though, and they have released their first eye palettes this year too! I don't see too many influencers reviewing their stuff, I bet it would help expose you to new fans if you did. You're so close to 100k!! :)

[@MoonlitSunflower]

I noticed in Cyber Bronze that the mattes don't build well on each other. I've never really noticed this happen with another brand before. I've been surprised Angie loves this brand so much considering she is known to complain about this sort of thing with mattes.

[@lovelimelody]

My question is, if you were not sent this in PR, would you have purchased it yourself if you already own the other Kaleidos palettes?

[@sammysweetdesigns]

O no I’m so nervous! This is the first makeup I’ve bought in a year because I loved it and I hope you like it!

Okay as I was watching this and realizing how PERFECTLY it matches your aesthetic and background, I was thinking it would be so cool to see you pick out single shadows and do eye looks based on your puzzles! You have the coolest and prettiest puzzles ever so I think it’d be really fun to see you do looks inspired by them! 🤩

[@metalxchick]

I was really hoping you would try on that unique blue lip. Maybe you can update us later on your thoughts on everything else! ❤️

I recently decluttered my gemini palette from melt as their mattes are just too finicky to work with and the moment i saw the reveal for this collection, I was like YES something to replace those grungy greens with lol and luckily I was able to get it during their launch.

[@Sharmelle586]

I'm interested in the first five shades in the shadow palette (starting from the left), but I can dupe this entire palette out of my stash except for those two aqua greens on the far left. It's a very pretty palette. Theresa Is Dead posted her review of the collection earlier today and had the same issue with the dark green being patchy. The lip mask is very, very tempting.

The eye look is basically a fun the die look and I love it. If I was wearing eyeshadow more regularly, I’d get this palette. It’s so pretty but I do have the melt Gemini palette, so I have similar Greens already. The pinks/purples are calling to me though 👀

[@theresegalenkatttant]

i didn't feel like this palette spoke to me but you did such a beautiful look with it💖

[@jennawar13]

I am interested in the lip product actually but I have trouble telling the difference between the colors in the nude set lol I want whichever one is more neutral brown? But maybe I’ll just go with Terra (def not neutral brown but the terracotta looks safely deep enough since I’m tan I don’t want it to be too light).

I do love looking at new releases though so I can get color story ideas and dupe them with my current stash 😄 gives me so much satisfaction

You did put 2 mattes down before the darkest green so maybe that 3rd one was just too much to stick. Still there are shadows out there that will build and build. I personally dont like mattes that dont build well. I'm now kinda glad I waited to get this.

This is the first pallet I ordered from them ...I am so exited 😆, I wish it had more shimmers as well . I am really happy you can take out the mirror because I wear glasses..and I can use it as close to my face as I want 🤣 so that was definitely a selling point for me ☺

[@natatatt]

I know it's not the point of the video but your new hair colour looks fantastic! Also I'm really vibing with the colour story of this palette. Very fun. On the other hand, I'm a neutrals girl so I wouldn't use 90% of the shades.

Oooo I've been so curious about this one! I've been wanting to try Kaleidos eyeshadow for so long, idk why I haven't got a palette yet, all I've tried is one of their highlighters(which I loooove and have over half the pan showing👌)

[@BeautyBeatdown]

I'm so upset at Kaleidos. Seriously. I've ordered 6 times so far from them (over the course of almost two years I think now) and 4 orders have been missing something. Including the flower punk collection. I purchased the one with the dresser and they sent it without the dresser. I also ordered on launch day, at launch time, and paid for the $25 expedited shipping because hey, I wanted it early before you all as much as possible lmao. I ended up getting it later than many who got it at launch day/time too. The GOOD news is...They finally emailed me back and refunded me $25 for shipping (which I hadn't asked for) and also said they'd be shipping me out the dresser. To be honest I sort of wish now they just refunded me the difference between the collections with vs without dresser too but whatever at least I'll be getting what I paid for...

[@rachael2180]

I have the Lunar Lavender & def have to start with the darkest matte & blend out from there. I think there’s a shade in the Escape Pod that’s similar as well. I don’t mind that once I know, but I do prefer mattes that build well on top of other mattes. Kaleidos’ formula needs to be refined imo for this reason (and also the toppers need a glitter glue or the shimmer fall out is reallllll) but their color stories & attention to detail are worth it. Love this look. I have this on the way & am so excited.
