Custom Le Metier De Beaute Kaleidoscope

Here is my custom baby that I love...


From top to bottom: Jojo, Platinum, Corinthian, and Sequoia. I kept with neutrals and am excited to see all the colors together. I purchased this through Neiman Marcus in store. I had so much fun picking out the colors. It is worth noting that since you are picking pre-made colors this will run you $120.00, not the usual $95.00. I don't know about you but I was definitely willing to pay the extra $25.00 for colors I knew I would love.

From L-R - 'Jojo', 'Platinum', 'Corinthian' & 'Sequoia' in natural light. You can see that 'Sequoia' is more sheer than the other three. Each swatch was done with two passes of my finger with no underlying base.



From L-R - 'Jojo' , 'Platinum', 'Corinthian' &'Sequoia' in the sunlight to show the shimmer
The colors mixed together with 'Tamarack' eye pencil smudged in and 'Aubergine' mascara applied.

What are your must have eye shadow colors?

  1. I didn't even know that you could get them custom made, definitely worth paying a bit extra. You have picked such beautiful shades. I'm going to sit here being jealous ;)

  2. Thank you Blushing. I didn't pick the most original colors, but I'm a taupe lover at heart.

  3. Replica, I'm not sure if you saw my comment on your blog about helping me with my LMdB but thanks if you didn't. Your posts have been most helpful. I'm not sure if LMdB does custom scopes often. I think I lucked out and was at the right place at the right time.

  5. Hehe! Those two are my fav LMdB colors. I was obsessed with Jojo because it was sold out for the longest, but know I have it in my clutches. I like that we have similar taste with LMdB - great minds think alike!

  6. love your picks! :) If it's not too much trouble, could you swatch them? I'd been thinking on a dark brown like sequoia or tamarack

  7. Vivienne Lynn, I hope the pictures help you out. I don't own Tamarack other than in the pencil form, so I can't compare the two. Have a great day!

  10. Gorgeous photos! I had no idea you could get custom kaleidoscopes, but that makes me very happy because there's always one, usually two, colors I never use in stock palettes. Thanks! (I think.) :)

  12. Zuzu, I don't know how often they have the empty kaleidoscopes? My counter just happened to have some and I was all over it and really had fun filling it out.

    Christa, I wore this look yesterday so I decided to post a pic of the finished result. Thanks for the compliment.
