Shiro Cosmetics

This is another small business I’ve come across – I love the idea of supporting small companies that sell unique or hand made items. Shiro cosmetics sells vegan mineral loose shadows in hundreds of shades as well as vegan ‘intertubes’ which are basically lip tints.
Before I get into what I bought the packaging was perfectly done with a lovely personal touch with the hand written thank you note.
I bought five sample size eye shadows (I wanted to see the consistency before getting anything full sized)
(Left-Right Jigglypuff, S.S Anne, Meowth, Temple of Time and Master Sword)
But I needn’t have worried about the formula as they are finely milled to help prevent creasing, gorgeously pigmented and the colours are near enough identical to the images online – a rarity with online eye shadows as a lot of websites have terrible swatch pictures!As well as my five samples Caitlin threw in another two extra samples Midna and Trioforce
I’m incredibly impressed with these shadows, I haven’t been able to stop wearing them as the metallic and shimmery finishes are simply stunning! A full sized eye shadow is £3.22 which is pretty good and if you want to try out a few shadows Shiro cosmetics offers sample sets and collections.

P.S Shiro Cosmetics is based in the US so bare in mind the postage costs, I found the postage to be very reasonable though so it’s nothing to really worry about.

    So far I've heard good things about this company, I think I might have to order some samples too! I love the selection you've chosen.

    I'm pretty sure I'd press them though, loose products really bother me. (I'm lazy!)

    @Madein1985 I'm thinking of doing that as pressed shadows are so much easier to use :)
    @Closet fashionista, the packaging really is adorable!! x
