Hi everyone! Though we normally only feature one product on our Random Product Review Fridays, today you're getting three! I've got a bunch of awesome Shiro Cosmetics products to show you, and my co-blogger Kristin is kindly helping me with her beautiful swatch collages so we can get them up as quickly as possible. Keep an eye out for more Shiro and Detrivore posts coming soon, including a very exciting one going up on Monday!
Today I have three limited edition Shiro and Detrivore products to show you. The first is Shiro's Color of the Month for June 2014, and the second and third are Detrivore eyeshadows which are only available in limited quantities. Many thanks to Kristin for providing these gorgeous swatches!

From the website: A color for the most adorable of soft fluffy rodents with teeny little feets! Eeeeeee!
Velvety heather grey with strong purple duochrome and sparkle. Suggestion by Jennifer L.
Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, synthetic fluorophylogopite, silica. Lip-safe!
Personal Comments: Chinchillin' is a fun color! Like many glittery shades, it really shines over primer, so as I write this description I'm examining the shade patted over a thin layer of Darling Girl Glitter Glue. The base color is one of those marvelous shades that can look light gray, grayed blue, or soft lavender depending on the lighting. A purple-pink sheen flashes across the base color as I rotate my arm under the light, and it's totally packed with what appear to be very reflective purple-pink and silver sparkles. If the combination of gray and pink appeals to you, I highly recommend picking up a jar of this before it's gone at the end of June 2014.

Matte reddened violet.
Price is for one full-size jar. Limited quantities available!
Ingredients: serecite mica, carnauba wax, iron oxide, magnesium myristrate.
Personal Comments: This shade is less warm-toned than I expected based on the description, though it does appear to be a soft violet with some pink. Detrivore's matte formula is quite nice - it's incredibly soft (so watch for powder kickup) and it seems to perform just as well over bare skin as over primer. Though supposedly Darling Girl's Glitter Glue is compatible with mattes, Endangered did not perform well over it; it darkened and took on an uneven appearance.
I tried Endangered on as a blush, and it is just as irresistible a cheek color as I expected. On my fair skin it gives me a very natural and subtle pink flush (please note Kristin, who did the swatches above, has skin a couple shades darker than I do). In fact, Endangered reminded me a lot of Little Sparrow's blush in Lilac, so I swatched the two side by side to compare. Lilac is brighter and a bit warmer than Endangered, and it has a white base rather than Endangered's "sheer" base. Purchasing Endangered as a blush might not be the most cost-effective option, but if you buy it and find you don't like it as an eyeshadow, you have an excellent backup plan. It's lip safe to boot, and would likely make a lovely gloss color.
Endangered is only available in limited quantities, so I recommend picking it up sooner rather than later!

Matte pastel pinky-violet.
Price is for one full-size jar. Limited quantities available!
Ingredients: serecite mica, carnauba wax, iron oxide, magnesium myristrate.
Personal Comments: I believe the shop description for Plasma is very accurate. This one is light and pastel enough that it's hard to see on my pale (~NC15) skin. Fortunately, it shows up much better over Kristin's skin in the swatches above, as her skin is a couple of shades darker than mine. I tried swatching Plasma over Darling Girl Glitter Glue in order to write this description and found it behaved just as poorly as Endangered did on a sticky base. Over bare skin it disappears very quickly when I rub it, so the shade would probably work best over a silicone primer.
Like Endangered, I tried this on as a blush. It's light enough that it took a couple of layers to barely become visible on my cheeks, so it wasn't quite as much of a blush success as Endangered. Also like Endangered, Plasma is only available in limited quantities, so make sure to order it soon if you'd like it!
