They were clearly pies, not cakes, though.

Wonderful Shiro Cosmetics has just launched five new intertubes today. I'm really excited about them, because I got to create the art for a few of the labels, and because Caitlin has introduced some really wearable shades in addition to the gorgeous bright/bold opaque ones.




  • Royal Wedding Hat - Yeah, that hat. It's a creamy pale nude lip colour. Caitlin makes magically addicting neutral eyeshadows, even to a colour-fiend like me, so I'm excited to see swatches of this since I'm sure she's also going to rock at neutral lip colours.

  • Nyan Cat - Nyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyan- it's described as pale rose with golden shimmer, which again, sounds really wearable but can be layered into something a bit more obvious if you like.
  • Forty Cakes - They are clearly pies though. LOOK.
    The inaccuracy of counting books aside, this is a stunning colour. Look at it! Gah! I want it on my face. Also, the forty cakes meme was written into canon, which is pretty awesome.

  • Shoop Da Whoop - A bright red for chargin' your laser with, but sheer enough that it can be a gentle tint, or build into nice wearable red without needing too much preparation.

  • Team Buffy - They don't fucking sparkle, okay? Drawing the stake for this was the most difficult, but also the most intensely satisfying. Vampy plum/raisin, but like the bright red, sheer enough to be a wash of colour or built up to a wearable gothness.

I'm actually very conservative with lip colour, so I was among the people clamouring for Shiro to bring out some slightly less daring Intertube colours, and I'm so pleased she has. I cannot wait to try these.

Heh. I already ordered Team Buffy and Shoop Da Whoop. These look great.

Also, nice stake.

I don't understand the idea of "wearable" shades. -wears blue and purple lipsticks ALL THE TIME- Maybe it's just a goth thing?

Once again excellent job with the labels. :D looking forward to your review!

@Frances :DDDDDD Thank you.

@Kitty - I don't know a better word for it. I'm not against bright shades but bold/bright lip colours are unflattering on me. They make my face look fat. YES I KNOW THAT SOUNDS CRAZY but it's true ._.

Naomi said...

I currently can't afford these. Yet I really want them. That's life.
And that's terrible.

Gotta love children's counting books. Also awesome job on the labels. :D My favourite is the Shoop Da Woop one. Kinda reminds me of Domo. XD

@Naomi - ¬_¬ *totally didn't do shoop da whoop but doesn't cry*
They are beaaaauutttiful. I am assuming, anyway. Stupid post needs to hurry up and move faster!

Well, my idea of colours is odd...when I got my hair pink'd, te hairdresser asked "don't you find that when you change your haircolour you have to change your wardrobe?" "Eh, I just wear black and purple and red anyway." "Pink doesn't really go with red." This was a foreign concept to me and I proclaim it heresy before Anoia. :|

The manic panic lipcolours I have aren't "bright" so much as they are "metallic and amazing". Closest dupe I've ever had to the old Bloody Mary lipstick, the first one I ever bought when I was but a wee babybat.

Besides that, I don't think they'd make your face look fat. POST PICTURES. LET ME DECIDE.

@Anastasia Awwww. x'D And indeed, the post aaaaalways takes too long. Someone needs to invent portals IRL, surely it can be done within the next 20 years, I mean, we already have 3D T.V's and I don't see them coming up with any better invention for the oven any time soon. xD

Anastasia said...

@Kitty - You should check out Morgana Cryptoria. Unrivalled in terms of excellent indie lipsticks, and since the owner is goth and big into unnatural lip/hair colours you'll probably enjoy the aesthetic. I have an order from her on the way, she's really fantastic. There's a lip balm named after me in her store, too. And a deep indigo gloss with cyan sparkle named after me over at Evil Shades, which is similarly excellent.

I am big into bright hair and bright eyes, but I dislike red/blue/green/orange lip colours on me. I like purple-through-pink and neutrals/nudes mostly. I like bright, but I know what suits me and I don't like things that look bad on me. I don't think there's anything wrong with know what is and is not flattering on you.

@Naomi - OMFG I would trade 3D televisions for a portal gun. Sigh, now I'm thinking with portals again. :(

Galen said...

Ooooh! Thanks for the heads' up - I've immediately picked up samples of all of the new ones plus a sample of the only Shiro eyeshadow I do not yet own.

Gotta catch 'em all, y'know!

23 August 2011 14:09


RoboZelda said...

This is super BEST AWESOME NEWS. Since I work in education I need me some appropriate colors. I already love when people ask and I say I'm wearing "YO DAWG"... XD

NYAN CAT AND SHOOP DA WHOOOP. (Mostly because I LOVE saying SHOOP DA WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP)

Also: Shiro also has turned me from a color fiend to a neutral fiend. SO LOVELY.

23 August 2011 14:11


Anastasia said...

@Galen - I have a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge Shiro package on its way to me and I'm going to literally dance around with glee when it gets here. Which shadow didn't you have? Haha.

@RoboZelda - Rofl. She does do that, doesn't she? Gah. My most used Shiro colours are neutrals. WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN. She has magic powers ._.

23 August 2011 14:15


Galen said...

Oooooh! Thanks for the heads' up.

These colours look AMAZING; I'm particularly lemming Team Buffy because I've been looking for a nice plum lipstick. Shoop Da Whoop looks lush and I don't think I have any warm red lipsticks. Nyan Cat looks like the most wearable shade, but I just want Royal Wedding Hat & Forty Cakes out of curiosity!

So.... I've just ordered samples of all the new ones. And a sample of the only Shiro eyeshadow I don't yet own - gotta catch 'em all, y'know!

(apologies if this is a double post...)

Galen said...

Outright Fabrication. Not for want of trying - it just didn't make it to me along with the 29 other samples in the Science Collection!

Headacheslayer "The Crafty Angel" said...

I'm going to have to order Nyan Cat for my daughter for a Xmas gift. I know I'm old when I don't *get* the appeal of Nyan cat. Even with a poptart involved LOL

Nice artwork!!

23 August 2011 14:17


Anastasia said...

@Galen - Lulz, it is but I'll publish it since you gave more detail! I am most excited about Royal Wedding Hat and Forty Cakes x] those be my colours. Neeeeeeeeeed swatches!

@Headacheslayer Hahahaha. It is silly, but there you go. I like speedycat too, but only when he's supersuperspeedy.

23 August 2011 14:23


Galen said...

thankee!

Looking forward to seeing your swatches when the postie brings you them

Kitty Lovett; The Unadulterated Cat said...

Headacheslayer - It's a cat thing I suppose. My cats are hypnotised by it. And Doctor Who...

Ana - Would love to, but next year is going to be 24/7 Victorian era gear for me, so I have to stop buying all these weird lip colours! Red, purple and sheerly applied Robe and Wizard Hat only. x3 but...i...probablywillbuysomeanyway. But not today. Because I spent $40 on Shiro. >> (must. not. spend. remainder. on. discworld. books.)

23 August 2011 14:31


Stephtee said...

Oh now you've done it! You've gone and made me want to spend more money! :P

I think I'd really like Forty Cakes and Team Buffy...but I want to buy Shoop Da Whoop just so I can say it over and over again :)

Oh god.. need Nyan Cat..

Anna said...

I didn't get even one of the original ones so far and now there's 5 even cuter shades to get, argh my wish list is about to explode.

23 August 2011 15:06


Kittie said...

Yesssss. Intertubes are the best thing that have happened to my face in a while. I am also excited to try the new blushes! <3 Shiro

23 August 2011 15:10


SMG said...

Damn! Now I'm forced to spend money! A brilliant marriage of two of my favourite things, complete with beautiful colours and well-drawn packaging. Can't... resist...

23 August 2011 16:36


sepia_raven said...

Fucking nyan cat! Yes! :D

23 August 2011 16:45


Dez said...

I'm pretty conservative with lip colors too so I'm digging Nyan Cat and Forty Cakes.
Also, I <3 your description of Team Buffy. lol

23 August 2011 16:48


Apriltini said...

No, they don't sparkle! Frickin' garbage, all that sparkle business. *grumbles*

23 August 2011 19:42


eight said...

Yeah, I need aaaall of these. I love Shiro so much.

23 August 2011 22:10


B said...

40 cakes will be mine. Oh yes.

23 August 2011 22:46


Jade Carver said...

Dang! I'd just managed to get my Intertube wishlist down to something manageably small and now I think I need at LEAST three of these new ones... it'll probably have to wait until we have furniture in the new house though x.x

Kait said...

Love the labels!

24 August 2011 03:20


Karla said...

Oops, the comments under Kait are really mine. Didn't realize she had signed in.

Unknown said...

@Galen - Did I leave Outright Fabrication out of your package? Sorry about that, you should have let me know! Please don't pay for that one when you order, just leave a note at checkout and I'll make sure you get it. c:

24 August 2011 09:21


Galen said...

@Unknown - thanks for spotting this. It's no big deal though!

And Outright Fabrication must be a slippery beast. It replaced itself with a second sample of something else - I forget what - so I did get as many samples as I ordered.

24 August 2011 16:09


beautifulwithbrains said...

I love the Intertubes and I'm so glad more wearable shades have been released as I tend to be pretty conservative with my lip products too. I definitely need Nyan Cat and Forty Cakes. And love the labels too!

24 August 2011 19:22


Jessica said...

Want them all. Big trouble. Seriously, Team Buffy? Sounds like the perfect color, AND it's named after one of the set TV shows ever AND it's got your artwork on it? Must!

25 August 2011 08:24


Anastasia said...

@Stephtee - BWahaha, sorry :p everyone seems to want an excuse to say SHOOP DA WHOOP. I think we've discovered a new marketing technique.

@Flo - Nyannyannyannyannyannyannyannyannyannyannyannyan.

@Anna - I have heard that wishlists have a terminal capacity and if you pass that much awesome they'll explode into sparkles.

@Kittie - XD The best thing that's happened to my face in a while is chocolate <<

@SMG - Awwww, did you compliment the drawings just for my benefit? XD

@Sepia_Raven - Nyannyannyannyannyannyannyannyannyannyannyannyan.
(I love this, easiest response ever)

@Dez - Yeah, I'm sooooooooooo glad she's done some sheer and neutral shades. I cannot wait to put them on my mouth :o

@Apriltini - XD Exactly!

@Eight - Mmhm =[

@B - ISN;FLN 4lyf!<3

@Jade - Bwaahaha. Who needs chairs? Sit on the floor and buy makeup!

@Karla - Thank you! :D I only drew a few of the pictures ^^

@Shiro - Y U BE UNKNOWN.
*throws pokéball*

@Gio - I feel exactly the same way. Can't wait!

@Jessica - Hahaha. Awww, yes! Put my art on your face plx.

You're so right: they DON'T fucking sparkle.
