I know, I know; I have a serious
Oslo obsession. But guys, she just released a new Game of Thrones collection! You know I
had to get one it. Plus, I needed to snag a few more samples of Ara and Lyra to press fully into pans. I also needed to try her blushes after seeing some more reviews haha.
I ended up buying two Blogger Packs (4 full-sized shadows) and one Sample pack (5 samples). I had actually made two separate orders but since it hadn't shipped yet, she combined them into one package for me :D
The colors I got were: Doradus, Asterism, Tremor, A Song of Ice and Fire, Essos, Winter is Coming, Pegasus, and Milky Way.

Here come the individual pictures of each (click to enlarge):

Tremor: purple with silver glitter. This is part of their Sepulchrum Halloween Collection that's on sale right now; get it before it's gone!
|
Daylight: A Song of Ice and Fire |

A Song of Ice and Fire: plum with purple sparkles. Part of the new Game of Thrones collection; this one is very beautiful.
|
Daylight: Essos |
|
Flash: Essos |
Essos: emerald green with gold sheen. Part of the Game of Thrones collection; I love this one. It's absolutely gorgeous and goes on very creamy.
|
Daylight: Winter is Coming |
|
Flash: Winter Is Coming |
Winter Is Coming: blue-violet with silver glitter. Also part of the Game of Thrones collection. This seems similar to Oslo's other color, Serpens. I asked Joyce what the difference was and she said this was less glittery than Serpens, which is a good thing for people who had trouble applying Serpens because of the glitter.
|
Daylight: Pegasus |
|
Flash: Pegasus |
Pegasus: sheer light blue with gold sheen. I wasn't going to get this, but it's going to be discontinued. I'm a sucker for getting discontinued products before they're gone forever so I picked this one up. It was a lot sheer-er than I thought and took a few layers to show up on my skin.
|
Daylight: Milky Way |
|
Flash: Milky Way |
Milky Way: creamy white with blue-green sheen. This has got to be their best selling color since it went out of stock pretty soon as it came out. This is supposed to be a limited edition shade but Joyce restocked it due to high demands. I know it looks white in the pictures, but it actually has a
gorgeous green sheen. It's so amazingly beautiful and I really recommend this.
|
Daylight: The Iron Throne |
|
Flash: The Iron Throne |
The Iron Throne: dark gunmetal gray with silver glitters. I got a bonus Game of Thrones shadow as a sample! I now own almost the whole collection haha. This was a bit patchy to apply because of the glitter but would make a great smoky eye.
|
Daylight: Altair |
|
Flash: Altair |
Altair: whitened shimmery gold. I got this initially to use as a face highlight since it was gold and I have a yellow skintone. Joyce actually recommended Pictor blush for me as a highlight instead which I also ordered haha. Altair is so beautiful though, it's more white gold than pastel yellow as it appears in the bag. It's really hard to explain; this is one of those colors that you really have to see.
|
Daylight: Pictor |
|
Flash: Pictor |
Pictor: light pink blush with a LOT of gold shimmer. I bought this because of a swatch I saw in a review. I thought it looked similar to Nars' Orgasm blush which I'd been eyeing for awhile. (If anyone actually has both, let me know how they compare.) This blush is super pigmented; I just dipped my brush in the side of the baggie and got a ton of shimmer.
|
Daylight: Sextens |
|
Flash: Sextens |
Sextens: matte dark rose blush. I know some people describe this as a berry color, but it applies more pink than purple for me. I've been looking for a nice medium matte blush for the fall and this might be it :)

Daylight: Doradus, Asterism, Tremor, A Song of Ice and Fire, Essos, Winter is Coming |

Daylight: EOTD + Pictor blush + Odetta lip slick |

Flash: EOTD + Pictor blush + Odetta lip slick |
The blush isn't as apparent on the face because I sheered it out a good amount. I didn't want a super shimmery face with my super shimmery eyes haha. I also dabbed a little bit of Odetta lip slick on my lips instead of applying it more thickly as I normally would.
As much as I love Oslo, I'm going to have to scale back a bit before they completely bankrupt me!

Completely understand having to scale back. I'm definitely more of a fan of her eyeshadows than lip slicks (reviewed those here: http://goo.gl/1KDxq6 ) and have 8 of her eyeshadows in my storeenvy cart right now that I know I shouldn't buy..
ReplyDeleteI agree, her lip slicks are nice but I absolutely love her eyeshadows! Which 8 are you interested in? I can maybe give you insight on which colors are similar or worth it :) You should get 2 blogger packs; they're so worth it!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
