Glimmer Effect Eye Brush, $24.00 (New, Permanent)
Unleash your boldest glimmer eye looks with one effortless sweep of a brush. This brush design features fluffy, medium density bristles to effectively pickup and apply the three Special Effect Glimmer Topcoat shades from the Shade + Light Glimmer Eye Contour Palette: Sterling, Glacier, and Quartz. The fluffy density of the brush optimizes the dispersion of glitter on the eye for maximum glimmer and minimum fallout in one easy, even application. Although it’s designed to be used with the Shade + Light Glimmer Eye Contour Palette, the #50 Glimmer Effect Eye Brush is perfect for any pressed or loose glitters.
The palette is Limited Edition and the eyeshadow brush is permanent. KVD posted the info on IG.
Trying to resist this one though I can see some of the shades I love from the original Shade+Light made even more appealing by the addition of a bit of shininess! I’ll be keen to see how these perform and if there is a fallout nightmare with any of them. Will you be reviewing this one, do you think?
I’m not sure how I feel about this palette. I have the matte version, and it’s a staple, but I wish she’d stuck to satin and metallic finishes. The glitter shades and the ‘special topcoat’ shades sound more gimmicky than anything. And I’m pretty sure I have most of these shades in my collection anyway… I guess I just made up my own mind! 😀
I love the current glitter/metallic trend over the red-orange trend!!
Agona, I’ve never been a fan of red/orange shadows because on me, it looks like I’ve got an eye infection of some sort. And what’s funny is that I’ve been having a bad reaction to something lately, and I have had one very red eyelid which just confirms that red lids isn’t a look that works for me. But at least my eye look (I’ve been avoiding anything on my eyes til this goes away) is “on trend” (yeesh, I dislike that term almost as much as dislike the red eyeshadow trend!)
Mariella, I’m allergic to something in a lot of metallic coppery shades like MAC Coppering, and many others. My eyelids swell and when the swelling subsides, I have horrible flakiness for over a week.
This has never happened to me before a few weeks ago and it’s only on my one eye, which is so odd (what I put on my left eye, I also put on the right). I think I’ve narrowed it down to what was a wonderful eye serum from Jouviance (a Canadian company) which I’d used on and off for months and months with no problems at all. The real kicker is that it was doing a really amazing job of lifting my hooded eye. I’m going to wait til this is totally cleared up for several weeks and then give it a try one more time and see….but, sheesh, why couldn’t it be some cheap eye makeup remover or something?
Sorry to hear you’ve had a reaction. Which Jouviance eye serum? I love their products and could use a replacement for my Lise Watier Sublimessence eye ($74 for 15ml is a bit steep).
Not as sorry as I am!!! It’s their fairly new one – a clear serum – not their original one, with which I have no problem. The “questionable” one is the Restructiv FocusFX Eye Serum. As I said, I loved it and it really was making a difference but now….I have the feeling this really is the culprit.
Mariella, where do you purchase the Jouviance products? Are they available in stores in Canada? I am planning a trip to Canada next week and if they were available in store I would love to try the eye serum. I am always looking for ways to treat my very hooded eyes. Thank you.
Deborah, so far as I know, they are exclusive to Shoppers Drug Mart and those stores are everywhere. The Jouviance products are often on sale and they share shelf space with products like Nuxe, La Roche Posay, Avene, etc. (rather than with the more international high end cosmetics like Lancome, Shiseido, Lise Watier, Smashbox). But the cosmetics ladies can help you find them.
I’ve said this here before (not that it makes me any friends 🙂 ), but anyone and everyone looks like they have an eye infection wearing red, orange, or pink. Sorry, but that’s just how I see it. Those colors, IMHO, are NOT made for around the eye. The only time they are found there is when one is, in fact, sick or infected. Somehow marketing made that seem desirable? Stumps me.
The other day, truly, I did a double take in a store. I thought the young woman was hurting big time. Nope. Pink and orange eye shadow. May that be a color trend that dies and goes the way of 1970s blue.
Check out carmine. (And the origin of the non-synthetic….) That could be it. Lots of readers have commented on carmine allergies. And just bec you have an eye reaction does not necessarily mean you will have a problem with carmine in lipstick. But it could develop, as allergies can tend to generalize….or eventually go away completely. No fun at all.
That sounds scary! But I’ve heard of this before, even if food products with red coloring. I’m sorry–that doesn’t sound fun at all!
I like shimmer. Not glitter.
I totally agree with you. Love shimmer but I absolutely don’t mess with glitter.
Ya know, this looks like a very boring palette.
My thoughts on this are that while this may possibly be a good neutral shimmer palette, it would really only be of strong appeal to either those who do not already have a ton of shimmery neutrals already (most of us makeup afficiendos DO), or the most die-hard KVD fans. Still kind curious to see its swatches, though…?
The names aren’t her style at all. That’s a surprise.
I ordered the brush this morning and plan on swatching the palette when I’m at Sephora next week. Here’s hoping it swatches good and reviews well.
I loved the original Shade & Light — gave it to my son’s GF. While I don’t regret it, I do think about it still. I bet this proves to be a nice option. I like it at this first glance.
This looks nice!
This is interesting, not that I don’t have a billion neutral pallets. I like her formula a lot though, and the packaging looks nice. I miss her older palettes that were smaller and had interesting color combos – the ones that came in the cool tin cases.
I just ordered this before I wrote this.I think it will pair nicely with the original Shade and Light so I will get more use out of all the shades in it.Im really surprised the palette is in stock on the Sephora website and the eyeshadow brush is sold out.
I am curious to see how it will perform! ?
I didn’t understand it would be LE though.
This looks pretty good, and I don’t have any Kat Von D shadows, so I probably need it? 😉
I swatched this palette last weekend at a Sephora store. Very pretty palette, unsure I need all those glimmers though, I am passing on it.
So, I just got in from Sephora and saw this palette and is it EVER pretty. The 2 brown/bronze shades are SO beautiful; one of them (more toward the left side) is also very smooth but the one more toward the right feels grittier. Both are gorgeous shades but seriously glittery (the right side one seems more fallout prone too). I had to give my head a serious shake to stop myself from grabbing it because I honestly think that having both Monarch and Shade+Light I can sort of replicate this (though who knows – I may still break down and get it but it’s truly not a practical purchase for me…it’s just that it’s shiny and pretty and I’m a weak-willed magpie).
I just got back from Sephora too and have to say I was so disappointed in the swatches. I even called ahead so they were holding one behind the counter for me but after swatching this is a pass. I think two of the top shades don’t come off and shimmering and some of the bottom shades are straight up chunky or patchy. They reminded me of poorer Too Faced shadows. I was really looking forward to it. I think everyone should swatch for themselves before purchasing. Also if you already have the Lorac Mega Pro 3, you have all the same shades in better quality. Anyway I’m bummed because I love Kat Von D shadows but this seems gimmicky to me and not good after all. I also did the Sephora head shake reality check and am proud to pass on things I don’t need that are not good because of the impulse of missing out. Enough is enough!
Christina, let’s try to keep one another strong! I only swatched those 2 shades I mentioned (I was there for other stuff and I was in a hurry) so can’t comment on the others but in some ways, this reminds me of the Tarte Make Believe In Yourself palette which I have but which, to be honest, pretty as it is and as big a fan of shimmer and sheen as I am, it’s not one I can use on its own – it is (and it shocks me that I’m writing this) TOO MUCH GLITTER! Same with this KvD palette. I can’t help wishing that the original Shade+Light palette had a couple of these shades in it because I do love shimmer and an all matte palette isn’t ideal for me either – it leaves me having to reach for something pearly/shimmery for my lids or inner corners.
Mariella,
Stay strong! If you have an itch to get an outstanding shimmering pallete another option to get yourself is the Make Up For Ever #1 Artist Palette (Nudes You Need)! It is amazing and totally worth every penny. Truly a workhorse staple. In fact probably has lots of dupes also. I bought it when it came out because Temptalia gave it a 97% rating!

That was two years ago and it stands the test of time. It lives in my top makeup drawer. Gorgeous shades that are buttery and creamy and perfect for the out the door one and done finger swipe, or for adding to your favorite mattes. I like mixing it with either of the Tartelette palettes or my Naked Basics.
I’m still really bummed about the KVD pallete because I am a big fan. I have the Ladybird, Saint, Monarch, Chrysalis, Innerstellar (my favorite) and the original Shade and Light, the Metal Matte AND the Mi Vida Loca and I love them all. I also have all the Metallic singles. I just saw Musings of a Muse gave this a high rating, but it’s just not for me. It reminds me of the shades in the Star Studded palette which I just decluttered.
I think we can stay strong! Shop your stash girl or spend on hard earned money on something of high quality that isn’t limited edition. You can do it!

TOO LATE, Support Sister – I got the MUFE Nudes You Need the moment it was released! I’ve only got 2 KvD palettes and 3 Tarte ones but Nudes You Need – I was on the phone to Sephora almost every day til it came in and then made a bee-line to the store as soon as it arrived! I have to say, with regard to that one, that it’s lovely too but with that one, as with the Tarte Make Believe In Yourself, I wish there were one or 2 mattes in place of some of the shimmers that are similar in both colour and texture.
