Fyrinnae: Halloween 2011 Shadows

Who doesn't love Halloween Collections? When I found out Fyrinnae was releasing 9 new shadows under a Halloween Collection I was ALL over it. Since I was ordering I also decided to score some more of their "Ghost" Shades which are really fantastic duo-chromes.

Book Of The Dead, Purgatory, Bride of Frankenstein, Electric Stardust, Dorian Grey & Are You My Mummy?

Raven's Prophecy, Crimson Ghost, Alchemist's Curse, Steampunk, Wake Not The Dead & Winter Again

**Winter Again, Crimson Ghost, Electric Stardust are not part of the Halloween Collection**

Excuse the multiple images, they may look the same, however it was really hard for me to get pictures that even resembled the amazingness of these shadows. In fact I trashed the first 2 sets of pictures I took because once I uploaded them I thought they sucked. It's even hard to see in this set of photos but Raven's Prophecy is loaded with green & blue reflects and Crimson Ghost is a Pink/Golden duo chrome. Simply stunning - the whole lot of shadows!

My Favorites: Are You My Mummy?, Raven's Prophecy, Purgatory, Crimson Ghost & Wake Not The Dead.

If you love Fyrinnae then you /NEED/ these in your life.

Fyrinnae: Eyeshadows & Pixie Epoxy

Oh, happy day and happy weekend because my order from Fyrinnae arrived! 8 Sample Eyeshadows (+1 free sample jar of Chaotic Evil) and the famed Pixie Epoxy. To be honest I was most excited about trying out the Epoxy then anything else in the package! Before I get into my opinions on that product let me first share some swatches with you.

Jade Ghost, Monarch Butterfly, Bifrost, Atomic Afterglow, Sleepy Hollow, Devilish, Eternal Innocence, Dinosaur Plushie & Chaotic Evil

I continued to swatch these products over BFTE Liquid Luster since it was the base I used in all of my prior Fyrinnae posts and wanted to maintain some consistency til I did comparison photos. As always I highly recommend using a base like Pixie Epoxy or BFTE Liquid Luster when you wear Fyrinnae eyeshadow since it is made to wear with one. 

My favorites: Jade Ghost, Bifrost, Sleepy Hollow, Devilish & Dinosaur Plushie. Jade Ghost is just awesome and is part of Fyrinnae 'Ghost Shades' line. I love anything duochrome and I'll be purchasing the others with my next order!

Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (L) & BFTE Liquid Luster (R)

Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (L) & BFTE Liquid Luster (R)

To show the difference between Pixie Epoxy and Liquid Luster I did two swatches of 2 different colors to show the difference. In the picture there is Fyrinnae's Dinosaur Plushie & Eternal Innocence with Pixie Epoxy (L) & Liquid Luster (R) as bases. Pixie Epoxy is a glycerine base so its really thick but not too sticky where as LL is just that, Liquid. 

Pixie Epoxy seemed to 'grab' the color more and create a solid swatch where as LL was more streaky. This was visually evident more with the darker color Eternal Innocence but not as much with Dinosaur Plushie. Just a little goes a long way with Pixie Epoxy so a full size tube ($7.00) will last you and is worth the dollars! I will retire the LL to use with my minerals but Epoxy is where its at when wearing the Fyrinnae shadows.

I am a believer! Thanks for reading! XOXO

Fyrinnae: Glow Blush & more Eyeshadows

I was so impressed with my first order from Fyrinnae that I automatically wanted to order more products from them. However their website is always in limbo between accepting orders and shut down to fill the rush of orders that come in when the site is up. Needless to say I had to wait a while as the site was down for a few weeks but victory is in my grasp as the site is currently online and taking orders the past week - in which I've placed two. 

The order I'm sharing with you lovelies today is 6 of their sample Eyeshadows (+1 free sample of Samhain Spirits) and 7 sample jars of Glow Blush. Fyrinnae gives a lot in their sample jars so if you're new to the company this is a great way to try them out! Not to mention sample jar orders process faster then full size/larger orders as the company produces enough of the colors to satisfy the orders coming in.

Always packaged in fun tissue paper

7 Sample Jars Glow Blush & 7 Sample Jars Eyeshadow

Fire Opal, Lucky Charmed, Rapunzel Had Extensions, Samhain Spirits, Dragons Wing, Digital Faerie & Immortality

Fire Opal, Lucky Charmed, Rapunzel Had Extensions, Samhain Spirits, Dragons Wing, Digital Faerie & Immortality

These shadows are just gorgeous. Rapunzel Had Extensions is my favorite out of this batch of shadows but all of them are simply stunning. They were applied over BFTE's Liquid Luster. To all you diehard Fyrinnae fans, never fear, I have ordered some Pixie Epoxy with my last order and should be receiving it within the next 2 weeks! They were sold out at the time I placed my first order. I highly recommend using a Mixing Medium (i.e. Pixie Epoxy, Liquid Luster, etc) when wearing Fyrinnae as this product is made to be worn with such.

Now onto their Glow Blushes!

Temptation, Intrigue, Captivate, Seduce, Charm, Enchant & Mesmerize

Temptation, Intrigue, Captivate, Seduce, Charm, Enchant & Mesmerize

Its a very gloomy day here in Massachusetts so taking pictures was a bit difficult. My favorite out of the group of blushes is Captivate. It's a beautiful rose pink blush with gold reflects. I'm excited to try these purple blushes out as I usually stick closer to pinks and golds for blush/highlights. It's always good to get out of your safe zone and purple blush is in for Fall.

I did add far more product then whats needed to darken up the swatches so you could see the true color since one or two swipes on my arm wasn't cutting it for pictures. Of course all of these can be blended down to be more sheer and since the blushes are so pigmented you really only need just a little on your cheeks.

I hope you enjoyed all the swatches so far and stay tuned as I have another order in the mail!

Thanks for reading! XOXO

Fyrinnae

 One company I've been dying to try that has come highly suggested by a few friends of mine was Fyrinnae. They are a small indie company located in Washington state and create their shades per order. Their website currently advises a 20-22 business day queue and creation time, as there can be up to 500 orders in front of yours. I placed my order on July 15th and received on July 25th which is obviously way faster then their advised time. Maybe because I ordered sample sizes instead of full sized? No clue but I'm glad it came sooner.

Panda Bear Tissue Wrapping! I approve

15 Jars & 1 Free Sample Jar

Sample Jar: Tyr, Wicked, Freya, Hypercool & Dressed To Kill

Top Row: STFU, OMGWTF & Conjuror
Bottom Row: Pumpkinfire, Shinigami & Sorceress

Glitterboi, Dark Fantasy, Madame & Eves, Dark Magik & Boytoy

I am just SO impressed with Fyrinnae. These colors were swatched over BFTE Liquid Luster. Fyrinnae recommends Pixie Epoxy but I felt I would get the same result with the LL. You could wear the Fyrinnae shadows without a medium but you will not get the same amazing color results as shown in the pictures.

Fyrinnae samples are only $2.00 per jar and the company recommends you trying them as samples first. Fyrinnae does not call their eye products mineral shadows and given the fact they really need mixing with Liquid Luster or Pixie Epoxy some people may not like how they apply. Me? I freaken love them. The colors are just so vibrant, flashy & color shifty. When the light hit the swatches I took it just made me gasp!

I haven't had an opportunity to wear these upon receipt so I will post a look soon with a review of how they wear. I admit I'm already planning out my next Fyrinnae order. Updated review will post soon! Thanks for reading! XOXO


**Edit Note: When Fyrinnae receives too many orders, since they are a small company & not many employees, they will take the website down to give them time to fulfill the orders placed. Check back regularly if the site is down/blank.
