The palettes from the Jord collection was my last purchase from OE, I love the colour stories, but the quality is just not up there. I can work with the formula in these palettes because I love the colour stories so much, but spend my money some place else until OE step up their eyeshadow formula game.
I actually got the Battybean and Lauren collab palettes second hand and found those formulas to be pretty great (did not try all, though). I think that's why I felt like I could try these singles... but there are definitely other brands where we can know that we will get high-quality shadows with formulas that are predictable, for example, Glaminatrix, Clionadh, and Glam Shop (mostly...).
I'll need to try this with a disappointing palette I have. do you have Leon and was it oily? that's the main single I wanted from Odens Eye, although Matthew is really pretty too
Yes, I have Leon and it looked so bad. After doing this, though, it wears really great! My wear test on Leon before and after this method is still up in my Instagram highlight!
Thank you for this video! I just found your channel - happy to see fellow Scandinavians popping up. Besides Glamshop, Cosmic brushes, glossgods, and Odens eye, which indie eyeshadow brands are based in Europe? :)
Thank you, your video was so informative :) Mathew is such a stunning shade. Honestly, I'm wondering about the shelf life of these shadows after doing this...if you take the oil out (is that the binder?) with time they might just become drier and drier until they become a dry powdery mess. I might be wrong, but for the price, and with so many amazing formulas out there, I'd rather not risk it.
I've had mine for over a year now, and they're still great. The super oily ones just have way too much binder (yes, binder is often an oil), so this method just removes the excess.
Marte, do you think 70% alcohol is high enough for repressing? I still haven’t pulled the trigger on OE singles, but I’m considering picking some up once I really do my research. It’s disappointing to have to put in the extra time and effort to make shadows useable but at least there’s hope. Thank you for another great video!
I personally wouldn't use anything less than at least 85, but I mean, water evaporates too, just slower. It depends a bit on the binders Odens eye have in their shadows, and if any of them bind water/moisture. You could search through the ingredients and see if they have that trait, but if you can get something over 90% alcohol, that's definitely safer! I think with OE, I'd just get shadows I find unique enough that it's worth spending that extra time and effort to fix.
@@not_your_basic_olive thank you for the excellent information! I’m in North America (so I don’t have super easy access to Pastel Roses or sometimes Lethal) but I can certainly apply this to other shades I occasionally have to repress due to breakage. I try to avoid using alcohol altogether whenever I can, but it never occurred to me to think about the pans. I’ve got a repressing kit from Amazon with pans that came with circular magnets that should do nicely. Thank you both for taking the time to pass this along! Much appreciated 😀
I’m willing to bet that within each batch of shadow you can get an overly oily shadow as in one could get a good Matthew and one could get a bad Mathew so I personally still wouldn’t risk it.
Those four colours remind me of the colour symbols of the Earth’s spheres: Green - biosphere (life) Brown - lithosphere (land) Blue - hydrosphere (water) Silver - atmosphere (air)
Better quality control and customer service is needed. Thanks for the thorough review
Agreed 🙌🏻
So happy to have a new video from you Marte ❤
Thank you ❤️

@@MartesMakeup Sydney Grace too, the eyeshadow formula is to die for.

I heard that there were a couple different releases of Leon many people struggled with it

Fixing oily shadows, great idea. I just don't use them.
Right, it's so nice to not let them go to waste!

That's so much work to put in to be able to use a shadow properly... I'd rather not buy them to be honest, it's not worth it for me
At that price and with their terrible CS it is not worth the trouble. There are better brands and eyeshadow formulas out there.
I use face oil blotting papers so no possible lint gets in my shadows
For such a greasy oily formula though idk you might have to go through a whole pack and that’s a little more pricey
