Like most make up brand nowadays,
Oriental Princess also releases limited edition collection. When I bought this
(2012), the current limited edition collection was called Reflection. Reflection
offers various eye color duos and lipstick. I grabbed Camaru Blue, as I was
intrigued by the blue and orange combination.
For a budget friendly brand, the
packaging of this collection is impressive. The box is sturdy and the matte
palette has substantial feel when held. The palette also offers generously
sized mirror inside.
Look at that pretty swirl of blue
and orange on the left side of the palette! I cant wait to swatch it... the
color combo turn out to be sparkly sheer bluish forest green. The blue come up
more pigmented than the orange swirl- it is almost metallic cobalt blue with
healthy dose of shimmer. Honestly, I don’t think the two color complement each
other... the green is more warm, the blue is more cold. The green, however, is
a unique color. I don’t think I have anything like it in my stash.
The palette is solid – just like
baked shadow formula. But I don’t see the company labelling it as baked. It can
be used dry (like my swatch here) or wet. When applied wet, the colors appeared
more intense. The palette is made in Italy.
Bottomline,
A little mismatched color for my
taste, but I am loving the shimmer. I don’t
think I will add more colors from the collection as I don’t really fancy the
sheer quality of this shadows when applied dry.
