I got my second order from Fyrinnae! I may have more coming.. I am excited for the shop to reopen on Nov 20!
I am starting to get more comfortable swatching shadows. I think I am going to stick to this pattern. I swatch big on the back of my hand 1 shadow at a time. I will try and get couple of different angles depending on the shadow. I have been trying to get my pictures in daylight, if overcast.
I am expecting to receive and review Pure Luxe, Meow Cosmetics, Shiro cosmetics and Chromatic Cosmetics in the near future. I have a bunch of Pure Luxe that I actually really love and need to reswatch. I will try and do that this weekend
I apparently wanted black basis this order! Next order is nearly all green.. Anyhoo!
All of these are swatched wet without a base. Only Pumpkinfire NEEDED Pixie Epoxy and so it is swatched over that.
I might as well start with Pumpkinfire
It did not want to play nice dry or wet. You need Pixie Epoxy for this shadow. You need Pixie Epoxy regardless.. but I digress.
Immortality
Raven's Prophecy
Immortality and Raven's Prophecy are really similar IMO. I think they are both gorgeous, but when you are working with an eye, which is such a small canvas anyways, it is hard to tell the difference. I didn't label my pictures when I saved them and had to spend a lot of time squinting at them and the containers of shadow to figure out which was which. I am still glad I own them both as they are both stunning.
Here is Conjuror
Mmm duochrome..
I also got a full size container of Purgatory which I have previously swatched. I still love it. I absolutely adore it. I need to get a bright true red to work with.. My collection is not small and yet so sparse!
They sweetly included a sample of Tapir. It was like BUTTAH to work with. Fab.
I hope my shadow swatches don't suck. I would appreciate any constructive criticism or helpful hints!
These are really pretty - especially Immortality
