Hi everyone! Today I'd like to show you the Tributes Collection from Shiro Cosmetics. I purchased the full collection myself as minis in 2012. This collection is based on The Hunger Games, and it has a great mix of neutrals, incredibly vibrant brights, and intense dark shades. Since everything Shiro makes is vegan, this collection is, naturally, 100% vegan. You can purchase the collection here, either as individual shades or as a full collection for a 10% discount (as of writing this post).
As a heads up, Shiro's mini eyeshadow jars no longer come with stickers on top of the jars; those are now exclusive to the full sized eyeshadows. On to the collection!

From the website: Shimmery light golden brown with blue sparks. Lip-safe!
Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, calcium aluminum borosilicate, silica.
Personal Comments: This is one of my favorite neutral eyeshadows. I love that it's a lovely, unassuming tan, but with a twist in the form of light blue sparks. I always suggest this shade when folks ask for Shiro recommendations. Swatch done over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. Photos taken indoors under daylight bulbs.

From the website: Shimmery forest green with subtle brown-gold tones. Not lip-safe.
Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, chromium green oxide.
Personal Comments: This is a beautiful green with a gold sheen; you can see the sheen in the macro shot above. Unfortunately, this one stained my arm a bit when swatching it, so you may need an oil-based makeup removal method to take this one off.

As a bonus, here's a swatch collage showing Wildflowers as a custom lip gloss with moderate opacity (here's the purchase link for all custom glosses).
As a moderate opacity gloss, Wildflowers turns into a baby pink with a ton of shimmer. Lovers of subtle lip products, beware - the shimmer comes across as metallic, or even downright frosty, on the lips. Photos taken indoors under daylight bulbs.
