Hello Moll!!
I'm SO EXCITED for this post!! I stumbled across this lovely company on reddit and I was instantly in DIRE NEED of the Iwatobi eyeshadow collection! Before we get onto our swatches and such, here's a bit more about the items I've got:
Name of Shop:
Siren Song Cosmetics
"Siren Song Cosmetics is a small, indie mineral cosmetics company that I started in early May, 2014. The idea is to combine my love makeup with all the things I'm passionate about: science fiction, anime, mythology, video games, etc. Mainly though, I just really, really like mermaids. Even if you aren't into the references, I hope the quality and colors speak for themselves. All my products are gluten-free (no cross contamination with gluten either in our lab or in labs of our suppliers), vegan (nothing animal derived like carmine or beeswax) and cruelty-free. That means no testing on animals!"

Ordered On:
February 25, 2015
Received:
March 9 2015
Cost:
I've got sample sizes of each product I wanted to try, which came to around $1 each after my discount code I was given.
Full size products are $5.49 for 5 grams of product!
Shipping was $2.50!
Other:
What do you put your samples in/how much product is in a sample?Clamshells, baggies are a nightmare for me! About 1/8th of a teaspoon.
I have never had experience with loose eyeshadows or with clamshells. I learned this the hard way and lost about half of my shark boy eyeshadow TToTT
Also, the lovely owner gave me an extra sample! (I hope on purpose, I'd hate for her to have accidentally lost it haha!!)
Onto swatches and reviews~

~~~~EYESHADOWS~~~~
(All swatched over Mary Kay Eye Primer!)
Pyreflies - Shark Boy - Merciless - Sunny Soda Breeze - Sunken Ship - Meaningless Without You - The Outside World - Waterdere - Butterfly of Beauty - Wizomaniac
All of these products are SUPER pigmented and these sample sizes are SUPER generous. As I stated before, I haven't had loose eyeshadows before and boy did I learn that you do not need much at all haha. The (accidental?) extra was 'The Outside World' which is absolutely my favourite colour ever. I love it so much!! Pyreflies is absolutely amazing!! I wasn't expecting so much sparkle!! Def not complaining though.

Eternal Summer Collection - Waterdere
Item Description:
"I only swim freestyle."Haru doesn't know what he wants to do with his life, but as long as Makoto and his friends are there for him, he's alright. He'll figure it out eventually.
A vibrant blue with violet sparkle you could just... dive into.

Eternal Summer Collection - Meaningless Without You
Item Description:
"I chose to start the swim club. But that was because I wanted to swim with you again. I wanted to swim in a relay with everyone again. But... If you're not there... It's meaningless without you! I want to swim with you!"Poor Makoto. The sensible one of the group (except in all things ghost-related), the guy has a lot of responsibilities. Worrying about his future, running Iwatobi's swim club, stopping his other half from jumping into fish tanks, petting all the cats. It's a full schedule.

Eternal Summer Collection - Butterfly of Beauty
Item Description:
"There's nothing you can say that will convince me to join the swim club."Good thing Nagisa has him wrapped around his finger! We thought Rei was going to be super cool and megane, but no, he's a total dweeb. It's quite endearing.

"This is our last chance. Let's swim together, Nanase. If you swim with me, I'll show you a sight you've never seen before!"Dreaming of becoming an olympic swimmer, Rin is passionate and ambitious with.... someanger management issues. The crying thing is a rumour though, he definitely doesn't ever cry. Nope.

Item Description:
"We all promised, didn't we? That the four of us would swim the relay together."Cheerful and persistant, Nagisa is the reason the Iwatobi Swim Club even exists. He pushes boundaries and brings out the best in people. He may be an (adorable) little shit, but he cares deeply for his friends.

Item:
Distant Worlds - Pyreflies
Item Description:
“They may be called "pyreflies" but they aren't really "flies", you see. They're those lights you see whenever a fiend dies. The little fellows are responsible for a few fantastic phenomena. Visions of the past, spheres, fiends--these are all the pyreflies' doing. In fact... pyreflies have something to do with aeons, too. The dreams of the fayth reach through the spirit of the summoner... And that which is unreal becomes real for all to see!”
—Maechen
