Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

^ Hmmm well I'm not sure, I didn't delete anything here and as far as I know the other mods didn't either...

The topic Kuuipo1207 started “Anybody used Fyrinnae before” is within this thread. Scroll up a few posts and you will see it.

TIA!

If I get energetic, I might do some swatches. Are there any shades you are interested in like nudes, blues, purples, etc? I have mostly natural type colors, but that would include some blue-toned, etc.

I highly recommend them, tho, and the samples are awesome, in little jars and not the stupid plastic packet type, very reasonable prices.

So the thread was not deleted; it was added to this one.

Can you still post the swatches, please? The site does not have swatches of all of their shadows and you may have some of the ones I’ve wanted to see.

BTW, kuuipo1207, I’m NW45 and have ordered several of their pigments – some are better than others; some are more pigmented than others. But I still think MAC is a better quality product.

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!
I somehow slid right by where it was within this topic...strange! Maybe my browser needed a kick in the pants.

Looking at this pic I have, tho, now that you want to see it, I might mention that it really does NOT do this stuff justice. BUT...the dry application, maybe over paint or something, is the way to go. It seems to go to mud when damp, or I'm just not doing it right. But sparkles disappear! The Loch Ness has beautiful turquoise or blue sparkles that do not show up in the pic, just as most of these others have nice sparkles to them. You might also check out the "City Lights" stuff because it's basically just jars of the sparkles without a color base & you can do anything with them...they're really nice. All their stuff is worth at least getting the samples & trying them out! And I haven't tried anything but the shadows & e/s base. The shade selection is awesome, price is great, the jars are full to the brim, no shaker that takes up space in the container. I LOVE my neutrals like Earthen, Taurus, and Nebula which reminds me of MAC Naked pigment.
I also have some browns and white/vanilla colors and a few others, but I picked these to swatch. They send me a sample with an order, which is really nice & the samples are a good size & in a jar. They also have swatches on their site for each color, both wet & dry application, but as I say, you need to see them in person with a dry application to appreciate them.

Sorry for the quality of this....I just can't get anything to come out like the pros at this website, no matter which camera I use! I just don't know how you all do it so well!!!


Since this is the best pic I could get, I'll add some descriptions.
Rapunzel is a pinky peachy with sparkles...very lively & beautiful!
Kimchi is a definite peach with sparkles.
Gwenhwyvar is sparkly greyish violet.
Bubble Tea is a violet toned pink with sparkles.
Lochness is the dusty dark sea green with turquoise/blue sparkles.
Disorganization, kind of a khaki green neutral with sparkles...unique & really great!
Evening Fog, medium dk grey/blue with sparkles.
Black Plum, just what it sounds like, not heavy with sparkles but some.
Karasu, bluish black with sparkle.
Freyr, med-dk pink violet, not heavy with sparkle.

I actually don't think I'd ever ordered anything without a swatch. I've also noticed they have a few different categories & I haven't gotten into a couple of them too much or found anything I "needed."

[Amiepots]

H'ok amies swatch time!

Dry: (Flash then No Flash)




Wet: (Flash then No Flash)



From Left to Right - Pyro, Slaugh, Kuroneko, Pearl Sage, Japan, Elven Dagger, Dragons Wing, OMGWTF, Fire Opal, Neo Universe, West End

And some on, West End and Neo Universe (plus mac vanilla pig on brow bones)



(A bit sloppy I know but I was so excited to try these on haha)

[kuuipo1207]

Oh wow!! Thank you so much Sigwig and Amiepots for taking the time to do these! I think I'll order some samples in a couple of weeks!! =D

[sigwing]

Wow...Amie's got the bright stuff! I love it on your eye! Those are great colors.


And it's always going to look better when you get it "in person", so you gotta get some samples! I've been tempted by a few of those, and I have Sluagh & Fire Opal.

[mariaelena40]

I've ordered from them before and if I remember correctly, they took about 10 days to get it too me. Their colors are beautiful, give them a chance.

[deathcabber]

I have really become a Fyrinnae addict lately!!! Here are swatches of all the colors I own by them:














Sorry that the last one really sucks, it really doesnt do those colors justice!

Seriously, you are my hero right about now. Thank you sooooooooo much for doing all of those swatches!! You have a ton of colors that I wanted to see better swatches of.
You friggin rock

I have a quick question for you. Did you do these swatches over a base?
I have around 25 Fyrinnae samples and they all seem to apply differently. Some work better over a shadestick, some are better over paints, but the majority of them seem to apply beautifully over UDPP. I was just wondering what your experience was with the colors you own. Specifically, Saki and Sashimi.. I'm in love with that swatch on you.

[entipy]

WOW!!! That's a lot Fyrrinae e/s!

[evil]

there's so many colors i want to try

I love fyrinnae pigments , they are so pigmented and a little goes such a long way.

No prob!!!! They are just on my hand, no base at all I do however always use UD PP on the eye. My experience is the same...these are very trial and error. I really love them all, but you have to spend time to get them to apply the way you want. Sake and Sashimi is gorgeous IRL...the green shimmer is amazing. I am still trying to find the best way to make it show up on the eye.

Please share your tips with me...like which are best over a S/S because I dont own any and I might need to get some!!!

You know, I can't remember off the top of my head which ones apply better over what.. I don't think I have enough in me lol

I do know that, the ones that don't seem to "stick" very well, those are the ones that are best applied over a shadestick.. or even a regular ol' concealer stick can work. The only shadestick I own is Beige-ing. The paint that I have is Untitled.. the one color that I can think off for sure that works great over the paint is Professional Colors- Macabre. It's definately one of my favorites.

The one tip that I can give that will almost definately make a difference is.. When applying your fyrinnae colors over a shadestick (or whatever 'sticky' type base you're using), you neeeeever want to swipe your colors. Always use a tapping/pressing type of motion. My absolute favorite brush for this is a Sonia Kashuk brush 09..



The bristles are looking a little splayed here, but it's because I need to clean it haha. Now, I don't own it, but from what I can tell online, I'm thinking that the MAC 242 would be the equivalent to it.

If I have a chance this week, I will swatch the colors that I have over the 3 bases I own.. the shadestick, paint, and UDPP. That way, you can see the difference in how they all apply

[deathcabber]

Great!!! Thanks for the info I will post any helpful hints as they come to me! I think I own a brush similar to that but I will have to check. I also found that the patting does work better. My last thing is how make the really powdery colors stay on and have the shimmer show up. Ive been meaning to get Beigeing for a while, now I will def. get it!

[deathcabber]

So, I took your advice and went to get a Shadestick last night, but the SA talked me into a paint pot in Bare Study instead....Im test driving it today and so far so great!!! The colors are vibrant and blended smoothly...but then again these were nice to begin with so we will have to see over the next week

I like shadesticks better-they seem a little "wetter" and tend to grab real fine powders better.

[kblakes]

I use a super cheap smudger brush from studio tools that I bought at target. It has really short, dense bristles and it works great. I just tap it on over my udpp and paint and I am good to go.

[Bootyliciousx]

There colors are so beautiful. I have heard it takes a long time for them to ship especially now.

[moonsugar7]

wow! those swatches are amazing, I have about a dozen of fyrinnae's shadows, but only a couple of those swatched. I have had a terrible time getting them to blend, it seems when I blend the color completely disappears leaving a slight muddy color left. I don't have this problem with Mac or other pressed shadows...I may have to try some of the ones listed to see if I have better luck with blending.

I do have their mineral foundation in Citrine Superpower and it is awesome, as well as a couple of their blushes which are also really good.

[darkbeauty27]

Sadly the perfume oils are now discontinued! I got some right after they made the announcement but am looking for other etailers who make similar fragrances. Any recs? The Fyrinnae oils were just so 'real' and nice, with no synthetic smell like some other etailers.

[lethaldesign]

I've seen some beautiful FOTDs with some of the Fyrinnae shadows & its made me decide to purchase some. For those of you who use Fyrinnae, please post your favourites!! I am overwhelmed by the amount of shades on the site... also, has anyone tried the City Glam colours? Glitter/sparkle? I'm interested in getting one, but unsure how the payoff is or if the staying powder is good over other e/s?

TIA!

[jilliandanica]

I was interested in buying their Rice Powder Primer. It received great reviews on MUA but I just wanted to know if any of you Fyrinnae fans have tried it. TIA!

[Shadoodoo]

I've just gone on a sample rampage through this site! I think I've ordered about 30 e/s samples and a full-sized rice primer powder, as I've heard fabulous reviews about that. And yet...I'm now tempted by their color-changing inks liquid e/l. As they're more expensive and as they aren't available in samples, I can't quite afford to go crazy with these. So... Has anyone here tried any of the inks liquids? Color-changing or not, I'd like to know about the the applicator, whether or not the liner flakes or the color fades, etc. Thanks!
