wicked: for good ozian forest eyeshadow palette (r.e.m. beauty)

Even though Wicked: For Good was released several months back, it is still in heavy rotation in my home. I love listening to the soundtrack, watching the movie, and enjoying Wicked themed beauty products. During the holiday season, there were some themed r.e.m. beauty products gifted to me. Now it is finally time to review one of them, the Ozian Forest Eyeshadow Palette. 

The Ozian Forest Eyeshadow Palette is described as offering "12 ultra-pigmented eyeshadow shades from light reflecting metallics, shade shifting duochromes, and velvety mattes, inspired by the tones found in the Ozian Forest, these rich earthy tones and playful unexpected pops of color create wickedly wonderful looks." There is a lot to love about this Wicked: For Good inspired eyeshadow palette. For starters, the packaging is beautiful, with a rich green colour, butterfly design, and a marble green base inside. The eyeshadows also have themed names, which is always a nice touch. Those are printed on the back side of the palette and include fun names like Festivate, Embrace Your Inner Green, and All Roads Lead to the Wizard. 

There are a handful of Wicked themed beauty items in my collection at this point. One eyeshadow palette inspired by the Broadway show and one inspired by the first Wicked movie. Out of all of them...the Ozian Forest Eyeshadow Palette is my favourite. I love the combination of finishes and the overall colour story. There are warm forest inspired shades, but there are still bright vibrant shimmers included, making this eyeshadow palette versatile and exciting. Though I am normally a shimmer kind of person, the matte shades in this eyeshadow palette are actually my favourites. There is a rich forest green shade, Take Flight, and an incredible cool toned purple, Wickedly Wonderful, that I continue to use over and over again. It is fun to create dramatic matte eyeshadow looks or add on a little extra shimmer. The makeup look above used Take Flight as a base, was blended out with The Grimmerie and Witching Hour, and then that bright green shimmer, Oh Oz, was applied as well. There are so many ways to put this eyeshadow palette to use. As for the quality of this r.e.m. beauty release? Impressive. The colours are bold, pigmented, and easy to blend. Both the mattes and shimmers perform equally well, making this a well rounded eyeshadow palette. Ozian Forest has beautiful packaging, a consistent theme, a great colour story, and excellent quality.
