Fyrinnae Mini Haul!!

           I finally got my hands on some new Fyrinnae. I have yet to place an order myself because the site is always closed when I have money and now my no buy...yadda yadda. I got these beauties in a swap last month. The swap was a secret swap and I sure was glad my partner knew me well because Parental Advisory is a pigment I have been eyeballing for some time now!

 Moon Child Mini, Parental Advisory Mini and a Sample of Pixie Epoxy.

 

          Pixie Epoxy is exactly was I imagined it would be. It went on slick but dried down and made the pigments really stick and POP. I wondered what exactly Pixie Epoxy was so I checked out the Fyrinnae site and found this info. 

 The original! A must-have for shimmery, sparkling shadows! This is not an eye shadow primer, or really a base. It is to keep sparkles on and/or to make shimmery shadows appear "glossy": a foiled look without foiling.
Originally developed and formulated in 2007, this unique "glue" is designed to hold the sparkliest, most shimmery eye shadows in place, minimize "fallout", and also to easily create a foiled look without foiling. Don't worry, it's easily washed off, and while keeps shadows in a water-resistant state, the product itself is water-soluble (no silicones or oils).
Packaged in a lipgloss tube/doefoot wand (we found this was easiest for application and least messy), all you need is a tiny dab (we're not kidding, use the tiniest amount you can manage!) rubbed on with wand or fingertip over your usual primer. Wait several seconds, as the Epoxy should be tacky but not wet, and apply dry loose shadow with a brush. More Epoxy may be desired for very glittery products. This product also enables the shadow to be brushed on rather than patted. Fingertip shadow application does not work well with this product, and shadow is best applied dry. Wet application may work, but not with every shade/texture. Translucent in the tube, applies and dries completely clear. May make some shades appear darker, and doesn't work as well with mattes. To help prevent creasing under matte and shimmer shades, please use an actual shadow primer under this. Pixie Epoxy is safe to use under eyeliner, but not recommended for application directly on the waterline. Our customers use this under pressed eye shadow as well as loose. with the same style applicator, and holds 1.5 ml (enough for several applications). Please limit 5 full size tubes per order and/or Ingredients: Glycerin (vegetable derived), Purified Water (Aqua), Acrylamide/Ammonium acrylate copolymer, Propylene Glycol, Polyisobutene, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Silica, Polysorbate 20, Carbomer, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, Gluconolactone, Sodium Benzoate. Shelf life: 24-30 months on average.

          One of my all time favorite pigments is Nevermore by Fyrinnae and when I swatched Parental Advisory I thought they may be the same or really close in shade so I swatched them together and I was wrong! Nevermore is much more of a blurple. Both are gorgeous but Nevermore is still my favorite.

     If you have not tried Fyrinnae than you are missing out. They have a ton of color choices and their pigments are AMAZING!!!

Fyrinnae Haul and Swatches

                I finally got my hands on some Fyrinnae!!! I never seem to have funds when they are open so my super awesome friend Nina sent me some.Fyrinnae is an extremely popular "indie" cosmetic company that routinely shuts down their website to keep their turn around time under control.  I seriously almost died when I seen that "Blurple" in the middle of the top row. I have heard so many GREAT things about Fyrinnae's pigments so I was super excited to get my hands on these. I can safely say all the hype about these pigments is real. They are GORGEOUS.

Meerkat

This pigment is so sparkly!! Fyrinnae describes it as

Vibrant pink-purple with gold shimmer and sparkle highlight

Nevermore

This is my absolute favorite out of the bunch. It has become

one of my new favorite pigments!!

            Okay, I thought the pigments were pretty in the pots. Dude, I was blown away by the complexity of these pigments. There is so much depth and variations going on in each one. I am in love. Check out Mephisto and Purgatory!!! AHHHHHHHHH

          I used both Meerkat and Nevermore for the look below. Both of the colors applied well and blended nicely. I am super exited about Fyrinnae and plan to make an order as soon as I can!! Full size pigments are $6 and sample sizes are $2.

              So tell me, what is your favorite color from Fyrinnae. I need to start compiling my shopping list. What about Pixie Epoxy? Do I need it???
