Turning Over a New Leaf with Shiro's Animal Crossing Trio

I couldn't contain my excitement (or my wallet) when I saw that Shiro released a trio of Animal Crossing shadows. I've been playing Animal Crossing since middle school, and have been impatiently awaiting indies inspired by the franchise. Not only are they inspired by some of my favorite characters, but the label art is adorable and the shadow names are hilarious. A+, Shiro!


Products purchased by me, and all opinions are my own. Swatches are taken on bare skin and primer, then Pixie Epoxy. All quoted product descriptions are taken directly from Shiro's site, found here.


Canine Help You?: "Dreamy pastel yellow-orange creamsicle base with soft golden shimmer."

Inspired by your faithful mayoral assistant, Isabelle, this is a sweet muted sunflower with subtle golden flecks. Over bare skin, the shadow leans more pastel yellow.


Alpaca Picnic: "Soft pinky-red highlight with an extra level of pink shimmer."

I LOVE this shadow, and it's inspired by Reese, my favorite character addition to Animal Crossing: New Leaf. A delicate red-toned highlight over bare skin and primer, but it's a bold magenta chock-full of sparkle over Pixie Epoxy. I immediately ordered a custom gloss of this shadow from Shiro, and I can't wait to see how it turns out!


Forever A Loan: "Bright springy mint green with a cool shift."

Inspired by Tom Nook, the greediest home renovator of them all, this is a grassy mint with subtle sky blue shimmer. Don't forget you still owe for your last home expansion, yes, yes.


Baker's Boy: "Shimmery light golden brown with blue sparks."

My sample with purchase, and I'm so glad it was. This is a golden brown base with heavy gold shimmer. I don't see any blue sparks here.

Well, that wraps up my review! I'm so glad I picked up this collection. The colors are so pretty, and my GWP was awesome! I'm on pins and needles waiting for my Alpaca Picnic gloss.
