Reviewed: Shiro Cosmetics Harry Potter Collection

It's no secret that I am completely in love with anything and everything Harry Potter related. And so when I came across a makeup line inspired by my favorite fictional universe, I couldn't resist. I actually cannot take credit for this discovery, and although I hate to admit how the knowledge of these products entered my life, I must give credit where credit is due: this is the result of my mom's Facebook feed. Yep, my lovely mother clicked on an advertisement that popped up on her Facebook--the most motherly thing to do--and landed upon this website. And now I don't put down clicking Facebook ads.

The brand in question is a handmade, vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics small business that runs out of Portland called Shiro Cosmetics. The creators base their products off of things they are passionate about. Just this information is enough for me to be intrigued: staying true to what you love while producing beautiful, Earth-friendly products is extraordinary.

Obviously, I was immediately drawn to the "Marauders, Mugwumps, and Muggles" Collection (that name though), which is a line of face, eye, and lip products inspired by the magical world JK Rowling captivated us with so many years ago.  My mother, who is much more experimental and bold with her makeup looks, picked out a few shadows for herself. I, however, decided to try an eyeshadow, two lip glosses, and the bronzer. Because who can resist a Chocolate Frog-inspired bronzer?

I'm currently typing this while in a hotel room on vacation, but I'll talk more about where I actually am in a whole separate post when I'm back snuggled in my own bed (to be fair, I didn't actually ever get to finish this post, nor write any others to pre-post, but I'm back snuggled in my own bed so I'll be back to writing on a regular basis). I did, however, go shopping before I left, and I may have gone a tad overboard. But something that's good about me is that when I go shopping for things to accompany me on vacation, I bring it all and use it all, so none of this is going to waste.
