Oslo Cosmetics - Black Friday Haul

I've procrastinated on this review for such a long time that I almost feel compelled to apologize to the owner :x  It's been awhile since I've ordered from Oslo Cosmetics because I own so many of their shadows already and I wanted to wait for the limited edition Black Friday shade.

The limited edition shade released is called Soleil, and I got my butt right onto the shop once I saw that it was up for sale!  Normally I buy Blogger Packs, which is $10 for 4 full-sized shadows, however, she's (temporarily?) taken it down so I opted for mini jars.  They're more expensive per gram than getting the Blogger Pack, but it was okay since I had a 40% discount code (for being a model/promoter).  I wanted to just buy everything else they offered that I didn't have already.

Disclaimer - Everything is purchased with my own money and the review consists of my honest opinions.



Everything is swatched over bare skin and taken with a daylight bulb.

Pyxis

Pyxis:  shimmery pale pink

Lux

Lux:  gorgeous and smooth brown-taupe with purple sheen

Tuscana

Tuscana:  warm copper gold

Voltanis

Voltanis:  olive green-gold

Westeros

Westeros:  shimmery metallic gold

Equinox

Equinox:  warm medium brown with brown glitter.  The glitters are very prominent; due to the binders, you won't need a sticky base in order for the glitters to stay on the lids.

Soleil

Soleil:  shimmery red copper.  This is the limited edition Black Friday color; it might still be up for sale though.

Andromeda

Andromeda:  shimmery chocolate brown

Fabula

Fabula:  shimmery yellow with slight green sheen

Daylight Bulb:  Pyxis, Lux, Tuscana, Voltanis, Westeros, Equinox, Soleil, Andromeda, Fabula

Flash:  Pyxis, Lux, Tuscana, Voltanis, Westeros, Equinox, Soleil, Andromeda, Fabula

The actual color on the lids is closer to the picture with flash, you get to see how red Soleil is and the slight green sheen from Fabula. Overall, I wasn't too sad about not having the Blogger Pack, as I would probably not use up full-sized jars anyway.  Mini-jars would definitely be enough for me to use, and definitely better than sample baggies.  I don't remember how much I paid exactly, but mini-jars range from $2-4 and I got 8 with 40% off.

With this order, I believe I own almost every single Oslo eyeshadow that's offered.  The only exceptions are a black shadow called Antila, and a turquoise called Aquarii.  Those were the only ones which did not interest me, especially since I caved and bought a similar blue from them called Pegasus.

Anywho, I'm so glad I made this order.  I probably won't have to order from Oslo for a really long time and save some money.  I finally get to play with all my pretty shadows instead of always eyeing the website for my next purchase.  I can't wait to use these and post some looks :)
