Continuing the series of "Swatches of things we've already reviewed on a different set of lips," here's the original Collection Spotlight of Shiro's Miyazaki Lip Balms. I can't believe that it's already been a year since we last looked at these!
P.S. I'm not sure how I got four of these shades in black tubes. I ordered those from Femme Fatale where sadly A Girl and a Cat was sold out. I stole AG's version for this post. I'll never be able to finish my set since now all of the tubes come in silver and having four black tubes and one silver tube would drive me crazy. :(

From the website: Deep purple in the tube, applies as a medium-sheer berry.
Ingredients: coconut oil, candelilla wax, jojoba oil, carnauba wax, red #33, blue #1, iron oxide, castor oil, tocopherol, flavor.
Personal Comments: Don't be fooled by how dark this looks in the tube! Given how dark it looks there, it actually applies pretty sheerly in a muted red-purple shade. Applied over bare lips. This picture was taken inside under daylight bulbs.

From the website: Sheer, pretty apricot.
Ingredients: coconut oil, candelilla wax, jojoba oil, carnauba wax, yellow #6, iron oxide, castor oil, tocopherol, flavor.
Personal Comments: A very sheer shade due to the color. This yellow combined with my natural lip color gave me a bit of an orange tint that I didn't find particularly flattering. Applied over bare lips. This picture was taken inside under daylight bulbs.

From the website: Summery medium coral, a match for our former Why Not Zoidberg color.
Ingredients: coconut oil, candelilla wax, jojoba oil, carnauba wax, red #40, yellow #6, red #27, iron oxide, castor oil, tocopherol, flavor.
Personal Comments: A nice pinky red on me. Applied over bare lips. This picture was taken inside under daylight bulbs.
This shade left a hot pink stain that lingered.

| It's Called Love stain |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the website: Bright coral-orange in the tube, applies a bit pinker than you might expect! Will leave behind a light stain.
Ingredients: coconut oil, candelilla wax, jojoba oil, carnauba wax, red #27, red #6, iron oxide, castor oil, tocopherol, flavor.
Personal Comments: On my lips, this was a bold red. Applied over bare lips. This picture was taken inside under daylight bulbs.
This shade also left a lingering hot pink shade. An even brighter pink stain than It's Called Love.

| Who Swallowed a Star stain |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the website: Sheer brick red with a slight brown undertone.
Ingredients: coconut oil, candelilla wax, jojoba oil, carnauba wax, red #40, iron oxide, castor oil, tocopherol, flavor.
Personal Comments: The brown notes came out strongly and with less red than I would have guessed. Applied over bare lips. This picture was taken inside under daylight bulbs.
