From the website: My brother owns a five-dollar plastic ocarina, which produces noise comparable to a broken recorder being played by a very angry cat. This in no way diminishes the fact that the ocarina is the coolest nerd instrument ever.

Bright, cheerful, shimmery blue with lots of silver sparks. Not lip-safe.

Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, silica, blue #1 lake, yellow #5 lake, calcium aluminum borosilicate.

Personal Comments: Ocarina is absolutely gorgeous. It's part of the Legends collection and reflects in all the right ways and it almost glows. Sadly, I'm unable to touch any Shiro eyeshadows without being covered in glitter afterwards and this (and the three below) are no exception. Oh well. At least I'm shiny. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. Pictures taken indoors under a bright daylight bulb.

Shiro Rupee

From the website: Remember this, kids: the possibility of finding a rupee in your neighbor's decorative pots COMPLETELY justifies trespassing and destruction of property. They probably won't even mind at all. :D

Vivid shimmery yellow-green with golden undertones and just a touch of darker green glitter.
Not lip-safe.

Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, blue #1 lake, yellow #5 lake, ferric ferrocyanide, cosmetic glitter.

Personal Comments: Rupee is part of the Legends collection and it's completely reminiscent of the jewels laying all over the Zelda games. One thing that Shiro definitely excels at is creating accurately themed shadows. Rupee is a little coarser than the others I've swatched, due to the slightly chunkier green glitter. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. Pictures taken indoors under a bright daylight bulb.

Shiro Housewife

From the website: Tough, merciless, and one of the greatest alchemical and hand-to-hand combat masters of her lifetime, dispite missing a significant portion of her internal organs. She's a housewife and y'all best recognize.

Beautiful pale greige with a shimmery finish. Lip-safe!

Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide.

Personal Comments: Please ignore the green flecks. I think Rupee must have travelled a little (see what I mean when I say it just gets all over me??). Housewife is part of the Fullmetal collection and is a taupe-y grey shade that looks almost foiled even when applied wet. It's not glittery but does have a shimmer to it. I had a couple bagged samples that I threw into this jar so sadly I don't have the sticker to show you. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. Pictures taken indoors under a bright daylight bulb.

Shiro Vileplume

This shade has been discontinued so sadly there isn't a description that I can list or a page to link to but I still wanted to show you how it looks because out of all the reds that I have, this is one of my favorites. It's part of the Super Effective collection and though this particular shade has been discontinued, there are other Pokemon themed shadows that are also really pretty. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. Pictures taken indoors under a bright daylight bulb.

Sorry for the tease!
