Shiro Cosmetics
I found out about Shiro Cosmetics a few weeks ago. It's an independent make up store, online only, run by geek Caitlin. It's 100% vegan and cruelty-free. She makes her own eyeshadow and lip color and blush. I basically haunt the eyeshadow, including collections like There and Back Again: A Hobbit Collection, The Fullmetal Collection, The Legends Collection, The Notebook Collection (based off the Death Note manga), The Super Effective Collection (based off Pokemon) and The Tributes Collection (based off The Hunger Games trilogy). She has one-off colors when the colors she wants don't come around. It's "Derps." DERPs.
Oh, and a color of the month. For May:
"Baby, when you finally
Get to love somebody
Guess what -
It's gonna be MAY
May's Color of the Month is "It's Gonna be MAY," inspired by Justin Timberlake and his ultra-noodly hair. Name suggestion by Maria C. and color idea by Bryony T."
Yes.
Such gorgeous colors! Shiro Cosmetics had a 15% off sale last weekend. Matt and I spent hours on video chat Saturday and Monday going over the eyeshadows. He put in an order for me and I'll see them gorgeous eyeshadows in August! (I'll pay him back then, too.) They have free shipping for U.S. orders over $35 and a free 3rd birthday eyeshadow for orders over $30. Oh, and did I mention there's a free sample and candy with every order?
I can't wait until I see the eyeshadows. Though it'll take 2.5 months until I see them!
I bought two samples, Matt chose a mystery third sample!!, 11 mini colors and a limited color!
Limited one-off
Herp Derp Durr Hurr - Bright, punchy red with gold sparkle. Lip-safe!
Samples (1/4 tsp in a baggie each)
Not Very Effective (The Super Effective Collection)
A very good reason to feel silly: the sudden realization that the Pokemon you have just attacked possesses a dual-typing which cuts your intended result in half. Whoops.
Dark purple-black with red glitter. Not lip-safe.
Unforgettable (The Tributes Collection)
"The others assure me I am charming. Peeta actually is charming and then utterly winning as the boy in love. And there I am, blushing and confused, made beautiful by Cinna's hands, desirable by Peeta's confession, tragic by circumstance, and by all accounts, unforgettable."
Hot pink-toned shimmery red with bright red sparks. Lip-safe!
Mini sizes (1.0g in jar)
Master Ball (The Super Effective Collection)
Basically the best item ever. I recommend using it on a Pidgey or something of the sort in order to perplex and enrage your friends.
Shimmery red-toned purple. Lip-safe!
Remake (The Tributes Collection)
"The door opens and a young man who must be Cinna enters. I'm taken aback by how normal he looks. The only concession to self-alteration seems to be metallic gold eyeliner that has been applied with a light hand. It brings out the flecks of gold in his green eyes. And, despite my disgust with the Capitol and their hideous fashions, I can't help thinking how attractive it looks."
Shimmery gold-bronze with purple sparks. Not lip-safe.
Mockingjay
"My father was particularly fond of mocking-jays. When we went hunting, he would whistle or sing complicated songs to them and, after a polite pause, they'd always sing back. Not everyone is treated with such respect. But whenever my father sang, all the birds in the area would fall silent and listen."
Shimmery brown-copper-bronze. Not lip-safe.
Zora Sapphire (The Legends Collection)
The Spiritual Stone of Water. Worth being betrothed to Princess Ruto? Probably not.
Dark teal with a very strong green duochrome. Not lip-safe.
Twilight Realm
"See you later..."
Shimmery medium gray packed with bold aqua sparks. Lip-safe!
Hero of Ages
It doesn't matter how many dark lords you've defeated or how many realms you've saved. If you're in a new location, you're gonna have to learn how to use a sword.
Dark, blue-toned forest green with light shimmer. Not lip-safe.
Heart Attack (The Notebook Collection)
Kira's rather morbid "calling card," if you will. He can kill in other ways, too, but nobody needs to know that...
Deep maroon with blue duochrome. Lip-safe!
Shinigami
L, did you know that Shinigami love apples?
Dark royal purple with silver sparks. Lip-safe!
Attercop, Attercop (There and Back Again: Hobbit Collection)
"This is what he sang:
Old fat spider spinning in a tree!
Old fat spider can't see me!
Attercop! Attercop! - Won't you stop,
Stop your spinning and look for me?
Old Tomnoddy, all big body
Old Tomnoddy can't spy me!
Attercop! Attercop! - Down you drop!
You'll never catch me up your tree!
Not very good perhaps, but then you must remember that he had to make it up himself, on the spur of a very awkward moment."
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
Matte black base with the deep blue iridescence of an insect's carapace. Not lip-safe.
Lingered in Twilight
"In the Wide World the Wood-elves lingered in the twilight of our Sun and Moon, but loved best the stars; and they wandered in the great forests that grew tall in lands that are now lost. They dwelt most often by the edges of the woods, from which they could escape at times to hunt, or to ride and run over the open lands by moonlight or starlight; and after the coming of Men they took ever more and more to the gloaming and the dusk. Still elves they were and remain, and that is Good People."
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
A twilit forest: blackened blue and green tones with slightly metallic shimmer. Not lip-safe.
Day of Reckoning (The Fullmetal Collection)
Also called The Promised Day, in which all of Amestris will SPOILERS
Intense, metallic deep burgundy. Lip-safe!
EEEE!!! So excited!
