We hope you enjoy the first of our mini Shiro/Detrivore collaborations! Dreamed up by Lauren, created by Distorria, and inspired by Krampus.

Fully matte, opaque pure white.
Ingredients: serecite mica, titanium dioxide, magnesium myristrate.
Personal Comments: I gave Krampuskarten the side eye when it arrived because Detrivore White Chapel (another white shade) didn't work so well for me. I'm pleased to report Krampuskarten is much better! It is indeed matte pure white; I'm not seeing any obvious undertones one way or another. However, I'm not convinced it's fully opaque on its own. I don't often have need of a truly opaque white so I will happily use this as a soft lid color or to blend out edges of other shadows. This shade will never kick you in the face with pigment, but to get it as opaque as possible, I'd recommend packing it over a matte-friendly tacky base (like a jumbo eye pencil). By the way - all my macro shots (lower right on the collage) took on an excitingly inexplicable blue glow, so I recommend relying on the standard swatch (lower left on the collage) for the most color accuracy.

Matte desaturated pine green.
Ingredients: serecite mica, iron oxide, ultramarines, ferric ferrocyanide.
Personal Comments: This is a gorgeous, desaturated green. It's pretty close to a matte version of the now-discontinued Oogie Boogie (review here), so if you missed out on Shiro's Nightmare Before Christmas collection, this color might help fill the monster-shaped hole in your heart. As with almost all Detrivore shadows, this one applies and blends beautifully.

Warm coppery gold with subtle yellow sparkle.
Ingredients: serecite mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, bronze powder, silicon dioxide.
Personal Comments: This is a gorgeous yellow gold, emphasis on yellow. The sparkle mentioned in the description translates to a lovely, soft sheen. This shade is bright without being loud, if that makes sense. I've been enjoying using it as a lid shade over a sticky base. I do want to mention I notice some fallout when using this shade, so be prepared to clean up a bit.

Deep metallic hollyberry red.
Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, copper powder, silicon dioxide.
Personal Comments: Between this and Sanguine Addiction (reviewed here), I'm realizing I have a serious weakness for Distorria's reds. Krampusnacht is beautifully versatile because it blends out to a matte finish, but takes on a softly metallic finish over a sticky base. "Hollyberry" is a really charming way to describe this shade, though I think it's a little darker than actual holly fruit.

Despite the natural lighting, my swatches don't show off the finishes on Krampus Schnapps and Krampusnacht as well as they could. I stuck my arm under daylight bulbs for a better look at them:
