Shiro Cosmetics: The Legends Collection Swatches
Hello all! I should be sleeping seeing as how it's quarter after 3 here in the East Coast. But I wanted to play with my cosmetics and well, what's sleep when you got makeup?
...Actually, in order to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, baggies underneath your eyes - you really should go to sleep at a reasonable hour. Don't do stuff like this, lol.
I started swatching my Shiro haul earlier but I had to take a break. After watching Paranormal Activity (I don't understand the hype), I finished the swatches. I even redid a few because I couldn't stand how they came out in pictures.
Anyway, if you haven't already, I suggest you guys check out Shiro Cosmetics! They already have one collection out based on Pokemon and this latest one is based off of the very popular (and awesome) video game, The Legend of Zelda.
Of course I had to get it. With these colors, why not?
Favorites: Temple of Time, Moosh, Ganondorf, Farore's Wind, Veran, Zora, Oshus, Master Sword, Zelda (love this color!)
Had issues with: Majora's Mask and Puzzle Cube. I had to reswatch these twice because I didn't get decent pictures either time. I thought I was using too much/too little Pixie Epoxy. I don't have a solution but basically, if you're using PE, you need to pat these shadows on. I think Puzzle Cube would probably work better as a veil over your eye shadows (it's got some awesome color interference going on) but as for being just eye shadow, I wouldn't know how to go applying it. You would also have to pat, not swipe, with Majora's Mask. It was a beautiful deep purple color with all this glitter but you had to pat it on because even with Pixie Epoxy, it was difficult to get a consistent swatch without patches.
These came as freebies. I love Team Rock and Gengar. How did they know I love purple?? Lol.
Would I buy from them again? DEFINITELY. I really need to mention that each sample size comes with 1/4th tsp worth of product which is more than enough to full-fill your sampling needs. It's very competitive at $1 each. Many indie mineral makeup companies sell their samples for the same price but they only provide 1/16th tsp worth of products. Fyrinnae offers 1/3rd tsp and 1/4th tsp (depending on the color) per color for $2. But they don't call them samples so much as minis. You're getting minis with Shiro. :)
Shipping was uber fast. I ordered either Thursday or Friday and it arrived in less than a week. The colors are gorgeous, the quality is obviously well-formulated, the labeling and packaging are so very cute and neat, not to mention their customer service is definitely not lacking. :)
I'm definitely loving these colors. Hope you're loving them too!

Shiro Cosmetics: The Legends Collection Haul
This arrived in the mail today. Oh my gosh, shipping is fast! Yippers! Thanks Shiro Cosmetics!
The Legends Collection. It looks so cute in the little red organza bag.
So many different colors! I already saw swatches for Zelda and I want to use it for work tomorrow. :D
Freebies!
Thank goodness it's almost the weekend. I can't wait to sit down and start swatching for these lovelies.

Shiro Cosmetics: The Legends Collection + Haul
By way of Painted, I saw that Shiro Cosmetics has just come out with a new collection based off of the video game cult classic: Legend of Zelda.
I love this game. I sucked at it. Had to ask my brother to play it for me so that I could see what happened. I know, I'm lazy and weird. But he did it and we both got enjoyment out of it. Win-win, I say.
Anyway, I've been meaning to try out this company for a while. Every blog I visit has been raving about the awesome that is Caitlin. After a brief interaction with her through customer service myself, I can say that she's super friendly and has a very warm personality. :)
I can't wait to receive my samples!
I got home at 8:30pm today and checked my mailbox. There was nothing. I was perplexed because I got a shipping notification that some packages were coming my way. Usually mail gets sorted out by 4pm at the latest. They must have been super behind today because when my roommate got home (which was 9:30pm), she brought me mail:
*squee*
