    I just found out about your medical situation. I wish you all the best and hope you are doing well. I've been out of the loop lately. I've had a couple surgeries; I too have been battle with cancer and now I also have kidney failure and been on dialysis. I used to watch your videos regularly (I'm still a subscriber) but I've been so sick lately. In just the past 2 months I've been hospitalized 6 or 8 times, I've honestly lost track. I live in Texas and our temperatures over 100 just seems to make me feel worse. I've needed a bone marrow transplant since the late 90s and we finally recently found me a donor match, but then I was given the bad news that my kidney failure has now made me no longer a candidate for transplant. Just when I thought I could finally be cured. The doctor told me now needing both a bone marrow and a kidney, he was being honest when he told me I probably won't get either. They really want to save transplants for people who are more likely to recover and with needing 2 transplants than just 1, makes it more likely that the transplant won't be successful. If I just needed one or the other, it would be different.
    I agree with you that makeup is a good destraction. I've been asked if my husband minds me having such a large collection of makeup, but he knows I've been battling illness since I was just a kid in the 90s, and since have gotten even sicker. He knows playing with makeup brings me joy. It's something I can do when I'm too sick to leave my home, to sit in my bed and play. Sometimes I get silly andd wear my makeup a little too over the top. I also started wearing wigs and I have some in some fun colors.

      I@@JenPhelps I strongly agree with you and @coffeebeforemascara about the Twilight Rush palette! Very pretty! But purple is a little far out for me, and the last thing I need is more eye shadow! I'm on a makeup no buy until I use up some of what I have. That is, except for replacing mascara, which according to the FDA website, should be done within 2 to 4 months of the first use.

  • @tkraid2575

    I'm a cool toned Asian girl, and honestly this current collection by Kaleidos got me saving up to buy both the new quads and 2 of the glossy lip tints (Hot Pursuit and Last Smoke). Seeing your swatches definitely confirmed my suspicions that the previous ones are either warm leaning or too bright. The cool neutral browns and purples in both the Twilight Rush and Venus Trap are a godsend for cool tones like me who don't like bright blue-based colors.
    PS. Hope you get well soon!

    I don't mind that they are using neutral colors. It's fine for a company to go back and forth on the colors they want to work with. What disappointed me in this collection (and others like it tbh) is that because it doesn't go very dark or deep, it really limits the amount of people who can appreciate it or make it work. I've heard from other YTers that Kaleidos is putting more focus on the Asian style of makeup, which is much more delicate and soft compared to EU or USA makeup. And based on what the collection looks like, that seems to be the case. Which in all fairness, Kaleidos can make those decisions. But then people with even light medium toned skin will not be able to use the blushes because they won't show up well. I just figured that by 2023 we'd be past the whole - they didn't make anything that works with my skin tone - problems. As for the eyeshadow quads, I feel like it's a been there, done that situation and I'm not interested in buying more of the same thing. Similar to the last 4-5 motherships from PML.

      @girlwhomustnotbenamed4139 Před 10 měsíci +14

      I agree that they should have released darker blushes (and they would've been gorgeous) but in terms of the eyeshadow palettes, as a fair person with a true cool undertone, I have to disagree. What makes these so great is that there has literally been virtually nothing like this on the market so it actually fills a huge gap and is sg that is finally made for us rather than just being partly usable by accident, as usual. Fully cool-toned neutral/mauvey colour stories are simply non-existent on the market bc even what gets called cool-toned is determined by what it looks like on everyone else than people with an actual cool undertone. I have the previous collection and those shades are insanely dark and pigmented so it's actually nice to have something that's similar but lighter. And they are still only quads! So as someone on the other end of the makeup bell-curve, these are absolutely unique and needed.

If this is Kaleidos trying to grab the Asian market then idk why they're ignoring the fact that there are dark/tan Asians.

      You could look at all the other blushes they have in existence in their range and they would have worked for you but you have to criticise it when they suit fair skinned people. We exist not just in Asia although I buy mostly Japanese blushes now because the Western Market is so dominated by what suits your skin tone and darker. Not all of us want heavy pigments or to have it made out like something is wrong with the world when a product works for us.

      ​​@@daniellesebire2508 Agreed 100%. People are genuinely using "pale" as an insult in comment sections and then patting themselves on the back for being good people. Maybe in 2023 we should be over the exaggerated expectation that every single release from every single brand needs to cater to everyone under the sun. Brands should be able to have releases just meant for deeper skin tones AND they should be able to release stuff for fairer skin as well without all of this performative outrage. And if you don't like what a brand releases, fine, don't buy from them, move on. I don't see the need to then insinuate some moral failure. Makeup is supposed to be joyful and fun, it can be therapeutic, an escape from the crap in our lives. And here are all of these people losing their minds about 4 blushes an Asian brand releases to cater more to an Asian market...yeah, let's leave this crap behind, it's getting really tiresome.

I would describe that eyeshadow color as a burgundy w/the slightest but GORGEOUS bronze shift. The bronze shift part is more frosty than glittery or shimmery though. Other than having fingernail marks N the shadow (LOL) it's a silky buttery smooth formula. I do have fallout w/it but it's WORTH IT, IMO.

Brands have released so many warm palettes and deeper blushes over the years (as they finally should) and as someone who is fair and cool toned, I am stoked to FINALLY see an entire collection that is catered to my minority skin tone. That doesn't mean I'm not happy to see other warm/deeper collections released for others at all. We need those too and ALL need representation across the board. I'm personally excited to see 2 small palettes and 4 blushes that for once I feel are made for this skin type! And I hope they continue to cater to all different tones and depths ❤ So, I hope they keep expanding to cater to all tones and depths and I'm excited to finally have a collection for my pale cool tone at the same time. Just bc I'm excited for my skin tone doesn't mean we still can't strive for inclusive of all. I'm ordering it and can't wait! Finally blushes that I don't have to "barely apply any bc you'll look like a clown 😂" Appreciate your review so much! If only Kaleidos could work on their terrible shipping for those of us who don't get it in PR. But I'll gladly wait ❤ Thx Jen! Glad you are healing ok. I'm going thru major health issues myself and I'm really scared but trying to stay positive 💘

    Welcome back! You are exactly the reviewer i wanted to review this collection and you didn't disappoint. I have the iris quad and the two lighter blushes from the older collecfion and i might well buy this whole new collection. I couldn't believe my eyes: an ALMOST (save for a couple lipsglosses and a blush) entirely cool toned collection...
    And i mean genuinely cooltoned, not "warmer undertoned people's idea of cool." I am lightskinned on top of cooltoned and as you kmow, light skin leaves no place to hide. Every slightly warm color the makeup industry tells us is "neutral" 😂 is amplified and shows up like a rash or jaundice on our skin.
    I have some superpale blushes direct from Korea and Japan that almost don't show up on me but you're right they serve a useful purpose in many wardrobes. I don't wear them often but i like the Kaleidos blush formula better so may well get these.
    Such a great video and especially now during your blessed recovery. I showed your video talking about your diagnosis to my family members, esepcially those of us with thinning hair that doesn't protect the scalp from UV. If you with your thick hair had this problem, the follically challenged must take heed!

    • @JenPhelps
      @JenPhelps  Před 10 měsíci +1

      I'm so glad you shared the video! It's so important to get checked...especially because the longer you let things go, the worse the scar will be. The first time I had the cancer in this spot, it was a relatively simple process because they removed a small area. This time it had spread further and I have a much bigger section that they needed to remove...it's much more painful.
      As far as the makeup goes, I agree with you! It's finally a cool-toned collection and I'm here for it!

    • @fourducksoriginal
      @fourducksoriginal Před 10 měsíci

      @@JenPhelps you've done a great service with all your videos talking about the cancer and the Moh's procedure. My relatives who are on the lighter side like me like to protest that they aren't at risk for skin cancer because of our genes from an ethnicity that includes brown skintones . No! They need as much cold water thrown on their way of thinking as possible, and your videos have helped. UV rays are merciless, especially on such an exposed area as the scalp.
      God bless you and your family and I hope the pain and discomfort subside soon. If they don't, maybe thinking of all the people to whom you've spread awareness will lessen your suffering!

    Hi Jen! I’m very happy to know your surgery went well. You honestly look awesome with the scarf in your hair…I would have straight up thought it was a beautiful intentional up do! The makeup looks great on you - I also like this collection and from what I’ve seen, the blushes show up on a broader range of skin tones than what one would expect. Def not one size fits all by any means, but they seem to show up on medium skin tones and build quite a bit. I don’t have first hand experience though.
    Happy week/weekend, Bella! ❤

    Get well soon! My only issue with Kaleidos is not neutral palettes, because I love them, it is the quads, I want a larger palette, I really do not buy small eyeshadow palettes.
    I would buy some blushes and lip gloss.
