Hey everyone! We're back with part 3 of the eyeshadows from Shiro's Marauders, Mugwumps, and Muggles collection inspired by Harry Potter! You can find part 1 here and part 2 here. Thanks again to Kristin for taking these beautiful swatch photos!
As a quick note, I've been testing all these shades prior to reading their official descriptions. It's a trick I picked up from the amazing indie perfume bloggers I follow, and it eliminates the confirmation bias you can get from seeing what you expect to see. Let me know if it adds to or detracts from your experience reading this review! With that out of the way, let's check out the colors...

From the website: A most devoted servant of the Dark Lord, who delights in giving pain. I promised I wouldn’t say “she’s up to her old Bella tricks” in this description but I lied.
Ultra dark blue-purple base (not blackened, however), with a wicked strong green shift and the barest hint of ashy overlay. Not lip-safe.
Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, ultramarines, ferric ferrocyanide, methicone.
Personal Comments: Mad As Her Master is a really good performer. It blends out beautifully without traveling halfway across my face (impressive for such a dark shade!) and plays well with adjacent colors. I will say I didn't see the green shift when I applied this to my outer corner over primer, but it did show up when I did a test swatch over primer on my hand. You'll probably have best luck making the green shift show up if you pack it over a larger surface area or use a sticky base.

Soft creamy cornsilk with a smooth satin finish. A fittingly posh color for those folks who choose the right sort of friends, Potter. Lip-safe!
Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, bronze powder, silicon dioxide.
Personal Comments: Wow, this one is gorgeous. It's really glowy over just silicone primer. I think this is going to be a popular option for anyone looking for a brightening lid shade. It definitely reads as a very pastel yellow, not quite white, on my lids. The edges seem to blend out well. This could also double as a beautiful, intense highlighter for the rest of the face. I did experience some minor fallout when using this.

From the website: The greatest wizard who ever lived, and the only one you-know-who ever feared. Currently off seeking the next great adventure.
A tricky mix of blue and gold that generally appears as a bright cool silver, unless looked at too closely. Has a bright satiny sheen like fine robes: subtle, stately, but not *too* serious. Lip-safe!
Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide.
Personal Comments: This is a beautiful shade, and definitely one for metallic lovers because a couple layers of this over primer builds up to a beautiful reflective finish. It is softer and slightly warmer than the almost icy You're Just As Sane As I Am, with a metallic rather than sparkly finish, at least over primer. It did seem to drop some tiny gold sparks as I applied it.

From the website: Hagrid’s perfect life: A roaring fire, friendly visitors, a kind word from the Headmaster, and as many dangerous magical creatures as possible to dote upon. Do you ever imagine Hagrid hanging out with Alphonse Elric? Now you do.
A rich earthy brown fit for a half-giant, loaded with the pink sparkles of an illicit umbrella. Lip-safe!
Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, calcium aluminum borosilicate, magnesium myristrate, silicon dioxide.
Personal Comments: This is a chocolate brown with really adorable pink sparkles. It seems to behave and blend well, though as with pretty much any sparkly eyeshadow, some of the sparkles found their way onto my cheeks during application and blending.

From the website: Distinctly dotty, with her head in the clouds, a natural flair for accessorizing, and the ability to see thestrals all too early.
The palest of pale golds, with a dreamy blue Ravenclaw shift and periwinkle sparkles. Just the thing to wear while hunting for a crumple-horned snorkack! Not lip safe.
Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, bronze powder, calcium aluminum borosilicate, aluminum powder, silicon dioxide.
Personal Comments: This one looks almost taupe in the bag but applies as a light silver on my eyes. It's one of those super light powders that tends to throw sparkles a little past the point where I've applied it, so you may have a bit of cleanup to do when using it. I compared this with The Well Organized Mind because they seem pretty close, but it's definitely cooler and has an almost lavender cast to it. It's also more sparkly than TWOM.

I did an eye look while testing these shadows:
I started with Urban Decay Primer Potion and a base shadow in my skin tone (the latter only from crease to browbone). I patted Not Yet So Damaged across the lid, added You're Just As Sane As I Am to the inner corner, and added The Well Organized Mind along most of my lower lashline. I deepened the outer v and outer lower lashline with Mad As Her Master followed by a little of Too Big To Be Allowed. I finished the look with brow pencil, mascara, and a nude liner in my waterline.
