So today I FINALLY received my first ever indie makeup order from Shiro Cosmetics! I don’t remember how I exactly found out about them (however I think it was Pokemon eyeshadow collection that first caught my attention) but for about a year or so I have been eyeing Shiro’s products! And thanks to many reviews, posts, and swatches on the Indiemakeupandmore subreddit, I finally bought some products.

I got:

Custom Lip Gloss in Women’s Weapons in Opaque which is a colour that is featured in the Game of Thrones collection

Mother of Dragons mini eye shadow jar from the Game of Thrones collection

King Under the Mountain mini eye shadow jar from The Hobbit collection

The Fourth Be With You eye shadow (It came as a bonus with the anniversary sale at the beginning of the month when you spent over $15)

Free sample baggies in Apparatus and You Dropped Your Rod

I have never swatched makeup before so if they are no good, I do apologize!

Here are the eye shadows from top to bottom with no primer and in natural light: The Fourth Be With You, King Under the Mountain. Mother of Dragons, Apparatus, and You Dropped Your Rod.

Here are the eye shadows from top to bottom with NARS Smudgeproof Eye shadow Primer in Natural Daylight: The Fourth Be With You, King Under the Mountain. Mother of Dragons, Apparatus, and You Dropped Your Rod.

Mother of Dragons is definitely more red then I once thought it would be but I’ll wait until I use it on my eyes to see how it works. I am also pleasantly surprised with You Dropped Your Rod! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to pick up the glitter in the picture successfully but it is a lovely dark bronze with gold glitter.

The custom lip gloss in Women’s Weapons is definitely the star of the show in this order. It’s a beautiful dark wine colour and it applies beautifully. Dare I say it, but I think its the best lip gloss formula I’ve ever worn! (Although I can not speak for the staying power and whether or not it is drying at this time.)

Based on first impressions, I am so glad I took the plunge into the world of indie cosmetics and I definitely will be ordering from Shiro again in the future. For those of you that are intrigued by this post, Shiro Cosmetics can be found here and they offer samples for purchase at a cheap price so you can try it out!
