Fyrinnae Loose Eyeshadow Swatches and Review!!

After my Sugarpill purchase, I went a little indie crazy and it was so worth it. I've been hearing about Pixie Epoxy for a while now but never really knew what brand made it, but after buying loose shadows I knew I needed it. A little Googling led me to Fyrinnae and the rest was history. I ended up ordering Pixie Epoxy along with 9 sample sized loose eyeshadows. WARNING: VERY PICTURE HEAY!

So first, this is what my entire order was packed in (after I took it out of the envelope). Zebra!! Who doesn't like Zebra?! Love that. 

Woohoo! Pixie Epoxy on the side there :)

Mephisto-  deep royal blue/purple with a vibrant metallic red sheen

Middle row:

Sacred- pale metallic taupe

Arcane Magic: Raven's Prophecy- black base with blue, lime and purple glitter

Immortality- black base with multi color glitter

Monarch Butterfly- Deep black with hues of glowing reddish copper shimmer

Bottom row:

Dinosaur Plushie- bright light silver with multi color glitter

Tyr- metallic olive green with flashes of gold

So yeah, I took a million picture, I just couldn't stop lol. I love all of these and left them on my hand for a long while just so I could look at them. They all go on very smoothly and don't feel gritty and they are so   pigmented! Each of my swatches are over Pixie Epoxy and are one swipe of each color. I love every single color!

The ones I got were all sample sizes, so the regular ones were 1/3 tsp for $2 and the Arcane Magic eyeshadows are 1/4 tsp for $2. The free sample I got was Tyr which has less product but still a really good amount (I did contemplate getting it and I'm so glad I got it as a free sample because is beautiful). These are packed by weight not volume so some will look m ore full than others, but they is just because some eyeshadows settle more than others.  

The Pixie Epoxy is amazing in itself. It really brings out the color and glitter in the shadows and has amazing staying power. You can get a sample of it which is 1.5 ml for $1.50 or a full size 10ml  for $7. 

So, you can only buy Fyrinnae products from their website, but they are closed until Jan 14th or 16th so no ordering for now. I just want to make a note of the turn around time: when you go on the website (when its back up) it will have an estimate of time for creating and shipping for you order. When I ordered, the turn around time was 24-48 days or something like that. Yes, scary, but let me tell you that it not nearly that long. I ordered on Dec 24th (yeahhh) and I received it on Dec 31st! So don't get too scared of the crazy number of days that they put up. 

Until next time,

Sugarpill Chromalust Loose Shadows!!

First, I'd like to apologize about the lateness of this post. I wanted to post earlier but had last minute present things to do. Well, I don't want to delay this any further as I am SOOOO EXCITED about what I have to show you. I got it today and couldn't wait!

The box! How cute is that! 

My four eyeshadows: Junebug, Tiara, Magpie, Stella

The creator, Amy, signs all packing slips and even includes this cute postcard thing and awesome sticker!

Junebug, Stella

Magpie, Tiara

All the shadows have a little symbol that goes along with the name, most of them are vegan and all of them are cruelty free.

The tops of the bottles are imprinted with the logo, not stickers! And the bottoms are the same as the bottoms of the boxes.

Junebug, Stella, Tiara, Magpie

Junebug- Metallic forest green 

Stella- Black with blue, pink and purple glitter

Tiara- Silver

Magpie- Metallic dark almost navy blue

First and foremost, you need to enlarge these to see the amazing detail and glitter in all the shadows. They are really opaque, but since they are loose shadows I really suggest a primer. You can see from my photos that primer intensifies the color and also really helps with staying power. It took me forever to wash off the primed swatches. 

The quality of these shadows is awesome. Even with the amount of glitter and shimmer in each they are really soft, not at all gritty. Also, the price of these is great for the amount that you get for the money. It's $12 for 5 grams compared to MACs pigments that are 4.5 grams for $20. 

In terms of the company as a whole, I love it completely. Sugarpill was started by Amy Doan (aka Shrinkle). She really takes so much care in everything she does, from the packaging to hand signing every packing slip to the fantastic quality of her products. You can see these shadows and a whole line of other loose and pressed shadows here : http://www.sugarpillshop.com/
