As soon as you open the kaleidoscope up, you know that this is a special one. In the pan, the shades are muted yet rich. You can see their promise. In the sun, they come alive.
Swatched, from top to bottom.
Each shade shimmers in the sunlight, and at an angle you can see the sheen, especially in the second shade. Oh, what a taupe!
In the shade, the shades turn matte but deepen in color.
I also layered all four shades together, starting with the top and ending with the blue. The result is a lovely, multi-dimensional violet.
Once more, with all five swatches.
Le Metier de Beaute On the Coast Kaleidoscope for Saks is a treasure. If you have a chance to acquire this, don't hesitate.

mile.epatant - My pleasure. You'll fall in love once you open the box up.
Looks lovely. Thanks for the beautiful swatches, but I'm curious if the first shade in this On the Coast Kaleidoscope is the same as the first shade in the Cherry Blossom K.? Or are they slightly different?
