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. Pin It

Halloween!

Here is my halloween mani. Wet & Wild black creme + China Glaze Lubu Heels topped with Essie Matte About You and red striper to make the blood. Accent nail of some random red and OPI Gettin' Miss Piggy With It.





I made some brownies! Mmm evil brownies..

OPI - Sonic Bloom, Megawatt & Electric Eel

These are three polishes that can be lovely 1 coat sheers but here is 3 coats of each to give you an idea what they can build up to. No base or top on any of these.

Megawatt





I really liked this one a lot more than I thought I would. At one coat it is like a layer of spun gold on the nail. It is very sheer but it is prominent. This is 3 coats and I really love the ethereal glow. Definitely a keeper.

Electric Eel





I think I might like this one better at a single coat than three. While it is a very pretty green at 3 coats, at 1 coat it gives off a very subtle (for me) green glow. I did not do 1 coat swatches with these because my nails are stained all to shiz. No one wants to see that :|

Sonic Bloom







This one is fabulous. One coat is less than thrilling. Three coats, however, is beauty. Is it blue? Pink? Green? Guile? All of the above? Pin It

OPI - Sugarplum Yum

So pretty! It's a grey base which often leans quite purple with pink/peach duochrome action. This is 2 coats. Surprisingly opaque! I was expecting it to be ultra sheer. No base, no top.

OPI - Movin' Out

I originally swatched this on its lonesome. I did not love it. Now I do love it!

2 coats over black. Here are 10 gazillion pictures.

Indoors (apologies as some pics are blurry)










Outdoors, overcast.








Thanks for looking! Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! NOM NOM NOM SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP Pin It
