Shiro Cosmetics Review
As I'm sure many of you know, Shiro Cosmetics is a new site on Etsy, specializing in eyeshadow. I ordered the full sample set, which I think had 15 shadows at the time, and I got the 3 not included in the set as free samples (Butterfree, Rattata, Jigglypuff). 3 more colors have come out since then (Meowth, Sudowoodo, Gengar).
My order got shipped out THE SAME DAY that I ordered it. I placed my order in the morning, and Caitlin messaged me on etsy to say she was shipping it that day. Now THAT is customer service! <3 I love how everything was packaged, very cute and neat.
From left to right: Vulpix, Mew, Charmander, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Acid
Pikachu has awesome red glitter in it that these swatches don't show. Here it is over Pixie Epoxy so you can see the glitter better.
From left to right: Squirtle, Butterfree, Jigglypuff, Zubat, Lance the Dragon Trainer, Team Rocket, Rattata
From left to right: Mewtwo, Articuno, Articuno over PE, SS Anne, Brock the Rock, Hyperbeam, Hyperbeam over PE
Articuno is awesome. It's like tin foil when you use it with PE, sooo cool! I love all the colors. They're unique and pretty, and definitely not repackaged. I can't wait to order the new colors, and I highly reccomend this new company. I can't wait for Caitlin to creat new, more complex colors, and maybe other products as well.

ReplyDelete... this company has just pressed all my buttons! Heh, I think the universe is trying to tell me I'm not too old for pokemon!
Ha! It was the pokemon that made m want to buy my sample set. I'm shameless. :)
ReplyDeleteI love her shadows, great review!
Those are awesoooome!! Dang. I'll have to keep an eye on this company. Thanks for the review. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I love the Pickachu, interesting colours. Thanks for the lovely swatches! x
ReplyDeleteI love the fact they're named after pokemon, it just makes me happy. I really like the look of Pikachu with the red sparkles!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you got a picture of pikachu and it's true color! Do you mind if I put a lin on my shiro review to yours so that people can see the real color of pikachu?
ReplyDeleteHow on earth did you get the red sparkles to show so perfect!! Nice!
ReplyDeleteThey're really cute! You did a great job with swatching! I had a hard time with Pikachu. I really like S.S. Anne.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, I ordered the full set and the colors are beautiful and so easy to work with I'll be ordering everything in full sizes.
ReplyDeletePlus her samples are so generous, I highly recommend.
OMG ! Eyeshadows named after Pokemons !!?? Got to have them ! x
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my post about primers/PE by the way x
Wow, those are unbelievable! I love the names, and the colors are just gorgeous! I will have to head on over and see what I can find!
ReplyDeleteI am rather silly, got carried away with Fyrinnae and Sassy and now I can't place my Shiro order for a while :(
ReplyDeleteAlso I may or may not have run out of room for my eyeshadow collection... it's not huge, but it's starting to overflow my little organiser (which originally had jewelry in it, haha).
Oh, dang. I am drooling over some of those shades, and the rest of them look cool, too. Shiro, here I come. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job swatching... mine were not so good. :-( My favorite is Pikachu... I LOOOOOVE that color!
ReplyDeleteThose are some really nice colors! And I love how everything is named... so cute! ^^
ReplyDeleteOOooo red glitter. Freaking awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments everyone! Glad you liked the review.
ReplyDelete@KinkyKambria: go right ahead :)
<3 these! Thanks for the swatches, Heather!
ReplyDeleteShiro, if you're reading this- we need a mudkip shade :D
Absolute genius to name these after pokemon! :D
ReplyDeleteOm nom nom Articuno and Hyper Beam look AWESOME over Pixie Epoxy :D great swatches
ReplyDeleteI ordered like 5 samples and they came the other day, they're so pretty :D so weird that I ordered like 3 neutral shades though haha. I must buy more after my holiday in July ^___^
...I swear, if you could see my face right now.
ReplyDeleteThe names are freakin' Pokémon inspired! =D And I don't know what it is, but the business cards look so cute.
My no-buy is probably going to fail, haha.
Wow, what pretty colors. I actually haven't heard of this company. I'll have to check them out!
ReplyDeleteHeather, I hope you are planning on entering my contest!! Please come check it out if you haven't already. =) http://nvbeauty.blogspot.com/2010/05/sedona-lace-your-face.html
Thanks so much for the review, Heather! Sorry I didn't notice it until just now, but I'm so glad you liked the shadows! Is it alright if I link here from my website?
ReplyDeleteTo the person who wanted a Mudkip shade: I'll put it on the list! :)
Please go right ahead :)
