Shiro Cosmetics Intertubes review & swatches

I know the reviews for these have been making the rounds lately, but I thought I'd share my opinion on the new Shiro Cosmetics Intertubes from as well. First, swatches! I ordered Leeroy Jenkins and Yo Dawg, and got a free sample of Over 9000. Leeroy Jenkins- swiped once, twice, three times Yo Dawg- swiped once, twice, three times Over 9000- swiped once, twice, three times As you can see, these are somewhat sheer, but are definitely buildable. My favorite is Leeroy Jenkins, which I've been wearing a lot lately. Even though it's purple, it's very wearable, and this is coming from someone who rarely strays out of the rosy-mauve area. If I had to try and compare these to a normal lip product, I'd go with 'an extremely tinted balm'. They're moisturizing the way a balm is, but have enough color to equal a lipstick. For $6.50, it's well worth the price, and I'm definitely going to be ordering more colors in the future. I also got a full size of the shade Everything Is Bears, which is a dark brown with awesome gold sparkles. There was a similar shade from Morgana I bought a long time ago, which is now discontinued, so I decided to pick this one up. Have you ordered anything from Shiro recently? I'm dying to try Caitlin's new pressed blushes!

    I hate how the lip balms are packaged! But I LOVE the eyeshadow :)

    I have all of these in sample containers and love them.

    One of my top favs is also Leeroy Jenkins. Longcat, although sheer is lovely with its shimmers.

    I'm going to get full sizes soon.

    Hmm it's odd, most of the other swatches I've seen look less sheer than these. Don't get me wrong, the colours look lovely, especially leeroy Jenkins, but I'm not keen on sheer lip colours... I still wanna try them out though. Eveything is Bears is a gorgeous colour.

    I still haven't ordered from Shiro yet! Once the intertubes came out I knew I wouldn't be able to resist much longer because I'm on one heck of a lip-product kick right now. I'm trying not to buy much new makeup until I use up some of what I've got..I've got a few things laying around I haven't worn once and some things waiting to be reviewed and I really don't *need* anything but it's so hard to resist.

    I had to come back to let you know that this review pushed me over the edge, lol. I placed an order for a sample set and one of them is "Everything is Bears."
    Thanks for this post!

    I LOOOOOVE Leeroy Jenkins. I'd wear it everyday if I could! I kinda like that it stains my lips pink because I'm lazy as fuck when it comes to reapplying and my lip colour disappears in half an hour.....so yeah! :D

    Love the swatches of the last 3 products.
    Anything too blue looks strange with my complexion.

    I've been dying to try her intertubes, and, like, ALL of the shades I don't have yet. Lady is trying to put a hurtin' on my wallet. Not that I'm complaining. :)

    @Lillian Funny Face: They are somewhat sheer, Yo Dawg looks like a purple in the tube, but it's really a medium-dark pink. I would still try them though, I think they're great!

    @beautyfromanotherplanet: Yay for enabling! :D

    @SilhouetteScreams: I can't believe how much I wear it considering all my lip colors are so safe and normal. I feel like it's a color that anyone could pull off, even though it's purple.
