Hey guys! Today I have a review for you on Oslo Cosmetics. They are a relatively new indie with an impressive collection of products! I heard about them on the Indie Makeup subreddit. I swear I live there now. Once the swatches started pouring in, I knew I needed to give them a shot! I ordered the Blogger Pack, which comes with four full sized eyeshadows of your choice. It was a very reasonable $10, and I find most of their standard items are well-priced as well.

Let’s talk about customer service first. I find this is very important with indie companies especially. I ordered this on a Wednesday, and by Friday I had it in my hands. I was blown away. I’ve had similar results from Fyrinnae, but didn’t expect it from a new company. Color me impressed! The owner is very sweet and active in the community, which makes me feel like she is really dedicated to the industry! I think she has a bright future ahead of her.

After receiving my first order, I wanted to try her Pigmented Lipslicks, since I have slowly become an indie lip fiend. It never used to be a problem, I swear…Anyways, I wanted to write this review after I had tried those, so I could give you a bit more insight into the products available.

I really like the packaging on these. The top left-hand corner are my mini lipslicks, the baggies are free eyeshadow samples, and the bottom four jars are eyeshadows. The jars are sleek, and I like the simple but effective logo. All jars close tightly but open easily. I find this to be an important feature when using loose shadows. I appreciate this!

I wanted to include a picture of the shadow jars, because the texture on these is quite different from your average indie shadow.They have what seem to be little balls of product in the jars, which is a result from a binder in the formula that makes the shadow creamy. I know some jars look a little on the skimpy side for full sizes, but because of the formula, you need to little to get a big impact. I was skeptical at first, but once you get the hang of it, the result is gorgeous.

From top to bottom: Altair, Serpens, Crux

I tried to take pictures that would do these shades justice, but it is so hard to capture their depth.

Altair is a very creamy satin color that looks like a light golden color but also has slight orange tones. It is beautiful all over the lid, especially with black winged liner. It is simple but stunning. I did a look with it which I will put at the end of the post.

Serpens is a deep indigo color with flashes of violet. The shimmer/glitter in this is so unique! Sometimes it looks pink, sometimes it appears green. I think this one would make a great eyeliner. Definitely a standout color.

Crux is a dark silvery grey with a hint of blue-green. This one is very rich. Perfect for a smokey eye.

Top to bottom: Octo glitter, Taurus, Vela

These ones were even harder to capture. I couldn’t manage to get the duochrome in Vela to photograph well.

Octo is a gorgeous true orange microglitter. On its own it is sheer and doesn’t stick, but I used it with Pixie Epoxy over another shadow and had great results. I wore it to a Halloween event, and though it was already posted on this blog, I will include it again at the end of this post.

Taurus was a free sample, and not necessarily a color I would have chosen. It is a metallic bronze color.

Vela is a duochrome that I swear almost every company has their version of. It is a reddish brown with a green duochrome. But Oslo’s is a step above the rest. It takes little product to make a statement, and this shade is stunning. It is the perfect balance of brown, red, and green. They mastered the perfect ratio. It lasted 12+ hours on me.

Overall I adore the eyeshadows. They last very long on me over a primer and need little help to show up vibrantly.

Full sizes are $5.50 and minis are $3.50.

The lipslicks I ordered were Tanzanite and Venus. These are mini jars. These jars cost $3.50, but I had a 25% off coupon, bringing them down to under $3. Bargain! I love, love, love purples of any shade. They are my favorite lip color. But I thought I’d try something for neutral as well.

Bare lips for comparison.

Tanzanite is a rich lilac shade. This is about 2-3 layers. It takes a bit to warm the color up in the pot, but once it does this color goes on opaque.



Venus is a pale frosty pink. I cannot pull this one off. If I had not just dyed my hair raven blue black, maybe it would have worked. But it just looks frosty and deathly on me :/

I like these a lot for their formula. They are very creamy and moisturizing. They sit comfortably on the lips and never feel drying. I wish they were more resistant to drinking, etc…but what can ya do?

Full sizes are $6.00

I really like what I have received from Oslo Cosmetics and I plan to purchase more! They have some greats sets and options to choose from. The owner is sweet and I have seen her personally reach out to people in the community when they need questions answered. This is a great start for an indie, and it makes it all the better that their products are great too!

Altair all over the lid.
