katred - did you end up finding a way to get these in canada? i got excited when i saw that nordstrom and neiman marcus do international shipping, but then for whatever reason they just won't ship the eye kaleidoscopes across the border. what gives?

Maugh. I haven't actually done an order for them yet. I know that Mrs. Lid (www.perilouslypale.com) has managed to get them up here, I believe by ordering through Neiman Marcus. Was it just the kaleidoscopes or will they not ship anything? The rules seem so strange...

yes totally bizarre...i got pretty excited about the shipping to canada, but then for the kaleidoscopes only it says 'does not ship to canada'. i suppose i can still try...
incidentally i wrote to le metier, and they came back to me with not available in canada, but neiman marcus ships anywhere! so maybe i should...i guess i could do it in the new year, if i'm feelin flush at that point...right now i should probably focus on the christmas shopping!

There are a bunch of companies that I want to write to and explain hat it's very much worth it being in Canada... It's probably worth it to call Neiman's, since I think they're fairly amenable about shipping. Or there might be something that they can do to get you a kaleidoscope. I'm planning an order from them post-Christmas...yes totally bizarre...i got pretty excited about the shipping to canada, but then for the kaleidoscopes only it says 'does not ship to canada'. i suppose i can still try...

I just want to post that I have falled head over heels in love with Rumor blush. It is such beautiful, warming, glowing color. I own many blushes but I dont have a color even remotely similar to this. It looks very scary in the pan and it is pigmented but can be beautifully blended. This is my first LMdB blush and the texture is exquisit. Love that the compact is so slim and light, totally travel-friendly.
I have used it this week for my performance makeup together with Antique Poupee kaleidoscope and the combination was beautiful. Love the soft focused smokey eye of Antique Poupee.

What color is Rumor? The swatch on Nordstrom does look scary alright!

It is a deep burnished color, like very reddish bronzer but gives way more natural look than bronzer. I have Chanel Rose Bronze JC, thats probably the closest I have but it is much lighter in color. LMdB looks more like natural flush.

I dont think this swatch is good representation of color but at least you see how dark it looks in the pan. If you have LMdB counter give it a try, it is only $30.

Interesting! I would have to check it out irl because I think it could look like a rosacea flush on me.

Finally ordered myself some LMdB! I got Chameleon and Fig eye shadows and Kona lipstick. I love them all and am definitely going back for more. First on my list is Corinthian, which is so frequently out of stock, but looks like a perfect shade for me.
Here's me wearing all three of my purchases (had to try 'em all out at once)...

I think that it's pretty hard to find anything from them that's older and limited. Pretty much everything sells out as fast as they can get it on the shelves.

Out of curiosity, has anyone purchased the Chauvet Pont d'Arc kaleidoscope? I saw it listed on Zuneta and was curious, but I've never bought one before... Seems like a mental block for me to spend that much on one item, even though I know it's really four shadows...
I did expand my collection a little after that first experience and I added Corinthian e/s, Jade e/s, Fire Lily e/s and Umo Paro l/s. I love everything so far. Great colours and formulas. I'm really surprised at how much I love the lipsticks, since they don't seem to get the attention of other items in the LMdB line. Wish I'd been into these guys and on the ball enough last fall to pick up some of the dark lip + nail combos they did!

Hi Kate - yes, I just received mine. It's really pretty, but not a show-stopper. The teal and coral shadows to me are the prettiest of the 4, but the other 2 are definitely ok too. The pale pink is a great highlight and/or base shade. The purple is really mid-tone - not deep. These seem to have more of a sheen than the 'shimmer' aspect of much of the rest of the line.......

Just ordered the Nouvelle Vague kaleidoscope from Zuneta- my first one! I noticed that they still have Chauvet Pont d'Arc, but I think that the shades in Nouvelle Vague will be a little different to what I already have. That said, if it's still there the next time I go online shopping...

I have several LMdB kaleidoscopes (Tunisian Twist, Penelope, Silk road, Nouvelle Vague, Splendid Frost, Northern Lights, On the Coast, Bauhaus and Chauvet Pont d'Arc) and Chauvet is my favorite .... I think the colours worked the best for my skin tone and eye colour (MAC NC 25 and hazel eyes) the pigmentation is the best, sometimes I feel the earlier LMdB eyeshadows were a bit too sheer.
If it is available go for it!
on another topic who know what will be the release date for the eyeshadow palette for Spring 2013 (it is not a regular kaleidoscope)? I cannot wait to add it to my collection!
