Shiro Cosmetics

Shiro, shiro, shiro...



Where do I start, the color, the pigmentation, the uniqueness..
There are so many good things I want to say and trust me, there is a lot of writing to do so bare with me.
So lets start with the basics.

Naked Cosmetics Demo

Hi guys, I made a a little video showing how to get the most out of your pigments.
I mean this is simple logic but I guess I never thought of it before until I was shown at IMATS.

IMATS/Inglot winner!

Ty all for participating!

IMATS NYC 2011

The International Make-up Artist Trade Show, wow!
I was lucky enough to attend this amazing sold out event when it came to NYC for the first time ever.
We've all seen it on Youtube, and you always wonder how it would be to go.
Well let me tell you something, it's a lot of work!
There is of much walking involved and so much stuff to see. Once I entered the venue my brain melted. There were booths everywhere and so much stuff to see. If I hadn't made a shopping list I would have probably passed out!

Anyway, enough with that, I won't make this post very long with my ramblings, I'll just get to the eye candy and explain as we go on.

Please be advised, this post is extremely picture heavy.

Shall we?

Cosette's Cosmetics

We all love to try new things right?
Right?
Well I do.

Since I first discovered how fun makeup was and how passionately I felt about it, I wanted to acquire more and more brands. Educating myself about the companies and the textures and what each thing could do for you was my first mission.
Well all this could seem like fun but it is also very expensive. Writing a blog in itself is expensive. Not only do you have to research, swatch, take pictures and write about a certain product, but doing it on a regular basis can really put a damper on your wallet.
Luckily, there are "indie brands".
Indie refers to the word Independent, usually these are brands created by one or several individuals just like you and me who have a passion for makeup and who a great deal of creativity. Their companies are fairly new and they run their shop right from their home. Now what's good about these companies is that they offer good quality product for a very low price.

Products I'm loving right now

Hey there guys, I have so many reviews I want to do lately that I can't decide what to start with.
So for now, I leave with you with my go-to products of the moment.

-Naked Palette by Urban Decay

I got this little baby right when it came out on the UD website. It was sold out on the same day, crazy!

I like to use Naked on my lid, Buck on my crease, and either Smog or Darkhorse to deepen the crease. Virgin of course is my highlight.


-Clarisonic Mia by Clarisonic


I finally jumped the wagon and got this baby. It wasn't an easy decision considering the price but I'm glad I did it. My skin has improved in the few weeks I go it.

I will most definitely be writing a review on this in a few weeks or months.


-Bite of an Apple blush by MAC

This blush is so nice and bright, perfect for this spring's bold cheek trend.

Love it!


Other products I'm loving for which I have no pictures of:
-L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara in "Blackest Black"
-Clinique Different Lipstick in "Raspberry Grace" (Thank you Holly)
