Shiro Swatches on this Rainy Day!

I went into my bedroom and swatched out all of these colors.. just to emerge to see that the sky had grown black and it was POURING. What happened!? Well, I went ahead and photographed the swatches anyways, even if the lighting wasn't great and the colors are slightly.. off. =[  All swatches are over, from top to bottom, ELF Primer, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk and NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean.
 
L to Right: Ever in Your Favor (showing up too purple), Thinking With Portals, Incinerator, Because We Can, A Neat Gun, Reverse Psychology, I Like Shorts, Master Sword, Rupee, Zora's Sapphire

HAUL: Shiro Cosmetics!

 Edit: I am editing this to add that EVERYTHING from Shiro Cosmetics is vegan!  I forgot to mention that before & this is vital because those intertubes have some pretty amazing coloring without including carmine!

I placed in order with Shiro Cosmetics a little while back for samples. I wanted to try a few things out and get a feel for the brand before I purchased any full sizes. Mostly because j0hn & I couldn't narrow down our choices of intertubes from "all of them". I waited for j0hn to leave for Mexico, then ordered a few samples that I felt he was the most interested in, then choose the rest for me.   His three choices (whether he knew it or not) were Me Gusta, Sad Keanu and Insanity Wolf.



To see what I got up close and personal...

January Favorites Pigment Swatches

Remember when I said I was terrible at swatching?  Well.. that hasn't changed, unfortunately.

First of all, these swatches are loose pigments that were named my January Favorites in this video:


Okay.. so.  Without further ado.. I'm sorry.

From L to R: Dirty Chai, Winter Rose, Spotted Elephant, King Moonracer & Yukon Cornelius
I know, I all but cut Dirty Chai out of the photo.  I will do better next time, promise.

L to R: Cruelty-Free Cosmetics' Silver Taupe & Models Own's Neon Blue
I'm sure the more I swatch, the better it'll get, right?  All of these swatches were done over MTcoffinz Under the Rainbow primer applied thickly.

FTC:  I paid for all of the MSC pigments or received them in exchange for being a model.  The pigment from Cruelty-Free Cosmetics was sent to me for use and consideration.  The Models Own pigment was a gift.  The MTcoffinz primer was sent to me for use and consideration.  I chose these pigments because they are my favorites for January, and that is my honest opinion.
