I have been seeing a couple people with great FOTD's on here using the pigments from this site. So I ordered on May 5th and of course paypaled the money over without a problem. Then on May 11th, I hadn't gotten any kind of confirmation and could not log into the site to get my order history and e-mailed them about it, the problem logging into the site and the order status. They responded with a "It's taking 8-9 days to process the order and you will get a confirmation" e-mail. So they were well aware that I had inquired about an order and was obviously having problems with the site,.. then I send another e-mail asking about it on Saturday, May 20, and I get a response that their servers went down on May 5th and that they were just now finding out that my order was lost,..... I am just having trouble believing this when I e-mailed them about my problem with the website on the 11th with a copy of my order attached,.. etc,.... Shouldn't they have seen that there was no order that matched that then? I still have no product and the mail has ran today,.. it has been three weeks since I originally ordered. 2 weeks since I e-mailed them about it the first time,. and 4 days since they supposedly sent it out with extras. Am I getting screwed? Has anyone else had problems with getting their product? I really LOVE pigments an I have had good experiences with Pure Luxe and Sweetscents,.. but this is making me a little upset. Am I just over-reacting? Or should I e-mail and demand $$ back?? They really have a couple colors I am interested in,. but now,. I just don't know.

TIA for any help,....

file a paypal claim. you've got to do it within 45 days of the money being sent though.

that's really screwed up of them to give you the run around like that.

If I do not get it by tomorrow,.. Saturday the 27th,.. (That would be a week since I last contacted them.) Then I am definitely going to send them the e-mail to refund my money and look into filing a claim. I just love pigments and it looks like they have some good stuff,.. this really upsets me.

Update,.. I did finally get my items from them this past Saturday,.. It has however kinda made me wary of ordering off them again in the future.

Did you guys see that BSB has changed it's name to Fyrinnae?

I just got an email from them.

I would like to know if someone has the queen mab pigment from fyrinnae... i don't really understand what kind of pink is!!

If someone has it, can take a picture of the swatch or something?

Thanks

The one I have is a flat baby/carnation pink,.. I would swatch it for ya but my camera bites the big one.

ExpensiveToy · 08-23-2006, 07:10 AM #9 (**permalink**)

So it isn't like the photo on fyrinnae? it's lighter?

velvet · 09-18-2006, 02:17 AM #10 (**permalink**)

Oh yikes, I just ordered from them....well Fyrinnae, their new name. I hope I don't have any problems. I didn't order with Paypal though so I'm still protected with my CC in case they don't arrive. :/

It took me a couple of weeks to get my items from them, and I'm not sure why. They need to improve that, but honestly, I love their Aztec Gold e/s so much, I put up with that crap for it.

As long as it does eventually get there I don't care too much. I was aware that the shipments take a really long time, so it will be worth the wait I hope!

So far, I love it. I had tried a couple of lighter shades a couple weeks ago.. the Moonstone and Quartz.. but, they were both too light for me. Quartz was waaay too light, but, Moonstone seemed just ever so slightly too light. This time, I got Pyrite, which seems to be a perfect match. I would still like some input from you all, though!

My usual foundation.. L'Oreal Bare Naturale..

And yesterday with the Fyrinnae Superpower mineral foundation in "Pyrite", which is one of the light shades. (Oh, and please ignore how tired I look. I wasn't feeling well at all when I took the pics)..

This was taken in natural light, btw.

The coverage seems really good.. which is a very big deal for me since I have alot of "issues" that I need covered up. It didn't feel heavy at all, nor did it look cakey. The only problem I had with it was that later on in the day, it didn't keep me from getting oily in the t-zone. BUT, I haven't found any foundation that has kept that from happening to me.

Sooo, what do you think? Does the color seem to match well?

It looks like you have naturally flawless skin. It's perfect!

Thanks!!

I went ahead and ordered a full size 18g jar of it this morning for $12.50 USD. I don't think I could possibly get any closer to my actual skin color. I've used it for 3 days straight now and it's just perfect. The coverage really is amazing and it makes my skin feel soft.. not made up or cakey. I love it more than any of the other mineral foundations that I've tried (Bare Minerals, Physicians Formula, and Neutrogena).

That color definitely works for you, and the coverage is every bit as good as your usual.

sassygirl224 · 03-21-2007, 03:05 AM #22 (**permalink**)

the color is perfect, it blends nicely into the color of your neck area! the color you used before looked a little too pink for you. the new one has great coverage and looks incredibly natural!

Daligani · 03-22-2007, 07:11 PM #23 (**permalink**)

Thanks, ladies =)

I'm still using it and I'm still loving it!

www.fyrinnae.com

I've had the pleasure of finding these due to reading posts here, and this website is great as far as showing a wet & dry swatch of every shade! You can view them all, or sort by finish or shades. I have a few more yet to arrive and can't wait.

The little plastic jars are packed to the brim, and the shades I've ordered are unusual and just beautiful. They go on like cream! Buttah or whatever!

I also bought an eyeshadow base stuff that passed the test run today. I'm sure I can find more of this brand to order...starting with the shade they sent me a sample of! I also have my eye on at least one of the blush powders.

MissChievous · 04-28-2007, 08:58 PM #25 (**permalink**)

I think they are...ok. They don't have the same pay-off as pressed MAC shadows, imo, but the colours are quite unique. Some go on very sheer while others have more pigmentation.
