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.
23 August 2011 13:38Also, 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?
23 August 2011 13:40Once again excellent job with the labels. :D looking forward to your review!
@Frances :DDDDDD Thank you.
23 August 2011 13:41@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 ._.
I currently can't afford these. Yet I really want them. That's life.
23 August 2011 13:47And 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*
23 August 2011 13:48They 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. :|
23 August 2011 13:53The 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
23 August 2011 13:54@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.
23 August 2011 14:09I 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. :(
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.
23 August 2011 14:09Gotta catch 'em all, y'know!
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
23 August 2011 14:11NYAN 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.
@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.
23 August 2011 14:15@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 ._.
Oooooh! Thanks for the heads' up.
23 August 2011 14:15These 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...)
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!
23 August 2011 14:16I'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
23 August 2011 14:17Nice artwork!!
@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!
23 August 2011 14:23@Headacheslayer Hahahaha. It is silly, but there you go. I like speedycat too, but only when he's supersuperspeedy.
thankee!
23 August 2011 14:30Looking forward to seeing your swatches when the postie brings you them
Headacheslayer - It's a cat thing I suppose. My cats are hypnotised by it. And Doctor Who...
23 August 2011 14:31Ana - 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.)
Oh now you've done it! You've gone and made me want to spend more money! :P
23 August 2011 14:53I 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..
23 August 2011 15:01xoxo
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 15:06Yesssss. 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 15:10Damn! 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 16:36Fucking nyan cat! Yes! :D
23 August 2011 16:45I'm pretty conservative with lip colors too so I'm digging Nyan Cat and Forty Cakes.
23 August 2011 16:48Also, I <3 your description of Team Buffy. lol
No, they don't sparkle! Frickin' garbage, all that sparkle business. *grumbles*
23 August 2011 19:42Yeah, I need aaaall of these. I love Shiro so much.
23 August 2011 22:1040 cakes will be mine. Oh yes.
23 August 2011 22:46Dang! 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
24 August 2011 02:06Love the labels!
24 August 2011 03:20Oops, the comments under Kait are really mine. Didn't realize she had signed in.
24 August 2011 03:22@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@Unknown - thanks for spotting this. It's no big deal though!
24 August 2011 16:09And 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.
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 19:22Want 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@Stephtee - BWahaha, sorry :p everyone seems to want an excuse to say SHOOP DA WHOOP. I think we've discovered a new marketing technique.
25 August 2011 18:02@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.
