Shiro Cosmetics Color of the Month Haul

[button link=”http://bubbleteapanda.com/pr-disclosure-privacy/” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”FTC” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”left”]I Bought This[/button] Indie makeup brands are, as I’ve noted before, terrible for the wallet.

Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer #3 Transparent Review and Swatches

So, before I left for Anime Matsuri, I hurriedly made a teensy Asian beauty haul because I really wanted to achieve a certain look for my cosplay pictures.

Of course, nothing ever goes quite as planned, and I barely got to try this product out even once before suddenly it was the day of the convention. Anyway, it worked out alright although I will definitely tweak some things for next time. So what is this mystery product?! Good question! Today’s post is about the Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer in shade #3 Transparent!
