The Mini Orgy and Orgy Palette from Jeffree Star are the latest in his eyeshadow line. The 2 palettes are available as a discounted set at $78. The mini alone is $28 and the larger palette is $62. Definitely the most expensive yet, but there are more eyeshadows inside than any palette he's done before. But is it worth it?
The mini palette is full of shimmers, which compliments the larger palette quite well.
The mini has 9 shades, all metallic or shimmery. There are a variety of textures to them.
- Glass Wet is a sheer sparkly white. This one is very dry and doesn't have a lot of payoff.
- Champagne Drip is a metallic gold.
- Gagging is a sheer peachy gold. Again, dry texture with not a lot of payoff.
Soaking Sun is a metallic copper.
Frozen Fire is a duochrome pink/copper. Has that dry texture to it again and needs building.
Bath House is a metallic golden taupe.
Explicit is a metallic bronze with gold flecks.
Foam Party is a pale sheer gold with that dry texture again.
Eiffel Tower is a deep metallic brown.
I'm not in love with the mini palette. I don't feel the quality is up to par with the last few palettes he's released. There are too many dry shades in here with not a lot of payoff. The good ones are great, but those 4 dry shades are not going to get a lot of use from me. I don't like to have to scrape at a shadow to have to get it to work, especially at the price of these. Let's move on to the larger palette...
There's 30 shades in here, guys. 30. While I do think it's a good idea for makeup artists that will get a ton of use out of it, this isn't something everyone is going to need or want, and I don't think a lot of thought went into that before making it. Considering the names of the shadows and the fact that it's called "Orgy," and he likes to put different stamps on the shadows in his palettes, I think they missed the mark at stamping some Karma Sutra positions on some of these, don't you? No? Just me? hahaha it's all I could think of when I opened it and saw that they all just had the star logos on them this time!
On the plus side, there is literally every shade of matte cream and matte brown that you could ever need.
The first row has all veeeeery similar shades.
I'm Shy is a bone white.
Vanilla Latex is a soft vanilla.
Implant is a pale peach.
Teach Me is a pale cream.
Silk Robe is a pale rose.
Seduction is a pale nude beige.
Voyeurism is a soft pale yellow.
Fluffer is a very pale pink.
Blow Out is a pale apricot.
Gender Fluid is a pale peachy beige.
Body is a pale tan.
Bed or Floor? is a pale peach.
Knee Pads is a pale taupe.
Safe Sex is a tan rose.
Top is a warm tan.
Bottom is a rosy tan.
Versatile is a rosewood.
Cunnilingus is a medium brown.
Craving Chocolate is a milk chocolate.
All Night Long is a soft toffee.
Body Chills is a smoky brown.
Booby Trap is a rich chestnut.
Invitation Only is a warm cocoa.
Scorpio is a cool gray brown.
Money Shot is a deep warm brown.
Explicit is a pale mocha.
Happy Ending is a deep earthy brown.
Orgy is a dark chocolate brown.
I'm Close is a cool espresso brown.
Glory Hole is a blackened brown.
This palette has given me no issues. All smooth, creamy mattes that are consistent with recent Jeffree Star quality. I wish the shades in the mini palette were all this good. In my opinion, they tried to create a mini palette that you just feel like you NEED to get to go with all the mattes that are in the large one. To be honest, I'd rather just have a palette that has a mix of both. I don't need tons of mattes in similar shades in one palette. This is great for makeup artists, but the everyday makeup buyer/wearer is not going to need this. I think that's obvious considering nothing sold out the first day like they usually do!!
