Fyrinnae - Part 2

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!

Fyrinnae Part 1

Sooo.. I now have an eye shadow problem. I am by no means a pro at applying it, but I am learning! I have fallen in LOVE with Fyrinnae. Here are some swatches from my 1st order. I have another one coming, and in 2012 when I allow myself to go off my no-buy (hahahaha) unless they have a sale or something.. or I have too much wine one night.. I will buy more! MOAR!

My swatches are suck. Swatching shadows is frigging hard! May I also please apologize for the dodgy patchy labelling of my pictures? I will get better I swear.


Skull paper! Plus they sent me a sample of Purgatory which is AWESOME! Full size coming.. had to order it.. had to do it..

This shiz gets me a lot of compliments. Blended with Velvet Vampire and Pure Luxe Red Aura.. amazing.

Gorgeous! Do you see this?

My pics of this suck. It shifts from blue to green. It looks ultra sexy paired with a dark purple.

This one is so amazing. I initially found this particular shadow and Pixie Epoxy in general a bit tricky to work with, but I watched Kelly Rie show me how to be awesome and my mind was expanded. LOVE! SAVED MY LIFE!

This one is so delicate and pretty. I love pinky golds!

Just adore this. Shifts from red-pink-orange-reddypinkyorange.

Meerkat is also pretty. I haven't quite found what I want to pair this with yet. Any recs?

I have really jumped on the "indie" shadow wagon. I will have some Pure Luxe swatches up for you next. After that comes Meow Cosmetics and then Shiro. In order of arrival ;) I have 2 more Fyrinnae orders coming, 1 more Pure Luxe, 2 Meowths and 1 Shiro thus far. Hence the No-buy (hahahahacrycrycry)

Just gonna throw this at you. I actually really really loved everything that I got from Pure Luxe BUT they cost more than Fyrinnae and there is way less in the container. Ch-check it!

Left is Meerkat.. so packed it has a container shaped bulge out the top? Not all of their shadows were packed this full but whoa!

Tops of containers. Silver = Alchemist's curse which I assume is because it is.. new? or something? Halloweeny? The clear is the sample (THANKS! <3)

Bum of jar

Thanks for looking! I hope to eventually (do not hold breath) get a light so I can start taking better pictures. I am really fascinated with eye shadows so I will be spamming you henceforth.
