Swatch and Haul: Birthday Shiro Cosmetics Order

Hello loves!

I got in my Shiro Cosmetics order. I was so excited to come back from class this morning to find the package at my door and it shipped earlier than expected!

Shiro Cosmetics is an indie makeup company that is owned by the lovely Caitlin and has been around for a few years now. I have previously ordered from them and have been pleased with how prompt it had shipped and arrived (compared to the TAT on the website). This time around it still shipped before TAT but wasn't as quick as my first order. But, USPS tracking is not good and well, I didn't where my package was at until discovering it at my door.

Before ordering, I emailed Caitlin if they were still selling Twilight Realm and Dark Sacrifice, which are soon to be discontinued colors. Thankfully, she said they are still selling it, and I found a link to where I could find the colors. I ordered mainly because I needed these two colors.

And look at everything I got. I definitely didn't get just the two colors. 

More pictures and all the swatches after the jump!

Full size containers come with a decorative stick on the black lid and a clear container, mini sizes have a clear container and lid, and samples come in a baggie. Go to her website to see the grams you get per size and prices.

All of these were purchased and I got Badger and Chimera as free samples. I did not picture or swatch Chimera because I have a mini size from my previous haul. I plan to do more swatches in the future so doncha worry.

SO GORGEOUSSSSS

Oh, and she drew me a picture of a duck. It's soooooooo cute!

WAK.

People said she is an amazing drawer. I would have to agree and of course, I love what she came up with. Thank you Caitlin for being a good sport!

This concludes this swatch and haul. I hope you enjoyed the swatches and got some more information on what these shades look like. Just an FYI, if you like Dark Sacrifice and Twilight Realm, they are going to soon be discontinued. Not only that, the full size is $4!

And as always, have a beautiful day!
