Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath) - Page 6

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

I've ordered some stuff from Fyrinnae for the 1st time a month ago, and must admit that I got them really fast. It took them 10 days to ship it, and another 7 days to arrive.

I've ordered rice powder primer which I see is obviously some fine product and I've tried it a bit and must admit it really is great!

About eyeshadows: I ordered about 15 samples and must say that the colours are stunning! They look really perfect!
I'm definitely ordering some more!


The only thing I DON'T like about Fyrinnae is that their CS is not that good. Yes, they let you know if your order has been shipped but that's very much about it. Anything else you ask them by e-mail - they simply don't answer your e-mail and that is what I really don't aprove about trem.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Honestly I find most online mineral sites to have craptacular CS. EDM didn't bother replying to me when I emailed saying they didn't give me a foundation sample that I paid for. Whatevs.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Is anyone else TOTALLY turned off about their processing time? I mean right now its 18-22 BUSINESS days for them to even look at your order. I really want to try some samples because they look gorgeous but anything over a few days to process your order is totally ridiculous and not professional IMO.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

I am. It really makes me mad actually.
I mean, WHY it takes them a whole month to go through your order? They should hire someone else to work for them, more people probably would make it better. Like this -

But, I'll order something on the beggining of november so I'll get them a month later hopefully.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Honestly I don't mind waiting to get a good quality, low price product from an on-line company. If they hire someone they're going to have to flip that cost over to me and I like their prices as they are. And really, in the grand scheme of life waiting a few weeks to get some eyeshadow really doesn't get my panties in that much of a bunch... I have plenty of others to use while I wait
Just my 2 cents.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

I agree with Cherrylex, I don't mind waiting! Plus free international shipping is great

Could any of you recommend a product by them that won't make my skin/foundation look super flaky, esp. around my nose?

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Has anybody tried their Lip Lustres?

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

I've put some pics here with Fyrinnae pigments so take a look:

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Duplicate post.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Fyrinnae rocks!! I agree with a PP when I say that I'd rather have a long processing time and cheaper prices, than fast shipping and higher prices.

To anyone curious, order the samples, they are generous and they last a long time. Mine lasted me about 6 months.

I use UDPP, and then Chapstick on just my lid, and the staying power is phenomenal.

I also recommend the Arcane Magic shadows. To die for!!

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Ok, so I got bored and decided to swatch all my Fyrinnae piggies, lol. I'm a NW20, if that helps any.

The pictures could have been better, I guess, but it's dark here, so I had to work with what I've got:


R to L:
Platinum, Fruitcake, Trickery, Shinkirou, Kung Pao, Angel's Tale, Okapi, Conjuror,


R to L:
Peaseblossom, Christmas Tree, Daemon's Tale, Meerkat, Orion's Belt, Sumatran Tiger, Titania, Happy Fun Pink, Lemmus Sibiricus, Healer's Touch, Arctic Fox


R to L:
Immortality, Merlot, Pure Sugar, Winter Again, Baby Beluga, Moon Child, Finnegan's Wake, Nijiro, Polar Bear


R to L:
Japan, Rebellion, Javan Rhino, Bali Mynah, Digital Faerie, Blue Whale, Wizard's Apprentice, Dragontears


R to L:
Dragon Magic, Naughty Elves, Sea Otter, Farseer, Mirrors, Equality


R to L:
Snow Leopard, Solstice, Avian Shapeshifter, City Glam: Lights of Tel Aviv, City Glam: Lights of Quebec, Mineral Highlighter: Confidence

The City Glam is loose microscopic glitter that you can use all over. It's not really glitter, either...it's not disco ball glitter, or little kid glitter. But it makes you nice and shimmery. The mineral highlighter swatch didn't come out, either. It's a really pretty pale pink that I use every freaking day. I love it. It's in my FOTD's that I post.

Anyhow, hope this helps someone out, and I'm sorry the pictures didn't come out better.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Has anyone used the gel primer yet or any of the new Alice in Wonderland eyeshadows? I just ordered some stuff yesterday, the primer, the new eyeshadows and a few of the lip lustres. I'm really impatient for it to get here now though, I hate that it takes so long!!

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

I haven't ordered anything in such a long time and I probably won't cause I'm a bit tired of mineral cosmetics
But please give us some review on those products!

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Oooo there's new stuff?! I must get some now, should be here in July! Definitely worth the wait though

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

I love Fyrinnae. They are my favorites along with AL. I tend to go for Fyrinnae when I want really poppy, intense looks. Al is less glittery I suppose, but still intense and beautiful. The colors from FY are so unique. I love their Neouniverse, Curious & Curiouser, etc. I have tons of pigment samples from them as well as some full sizes. Their samples are so generous to work with. With them, I've found colors like greens & blues that don't usually look good on me that now look great on me. The key is application to getting the pigment and true quality to shine through. Takes a bit longer than normal blending but its so worth it. Their rice primer is one of my favorite primers.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

What are their lip glosses like? I'm always looking for colors that work with my super-pale, super-cool-toned skin, and Ice Cream Party and Lollipop-Pop look like they might.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Their glosses are more like stains really-they are moisturizing but don't stay glossy for long, they dry to a long wearing 'stain' without being drying. I personally love them.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

I recently ordered some e/s samples from Fyrinnae. Most of the colors were great, but some I feel are just to full of sparkles that simply fall off when applied. This goes especially for darker shades with sparkles like Biker Chick.

I'm in love with the color Cupcake Sprinkles. It this wonderful purple-blue color.

Now I just need to stop myself from putting in another order, because I want almost so many of their e/s, but I should really create some looks and wear the ones I already have.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Now it says "10/6: be back soon" as well. I've seen those little arrows a few times over the last week. The site usually comes back up in a few hours. I don't know if it's just updates, or if they are having some kind of trouble with the site.

Favorite Fyrianne Eyeshadows?

So i would love to hear some of your favorite eyeshadows that fyrinnae sells, i am thinking about asking for some for christmas!! TIA

* Just noticed i spelled Fyrinnae wrong so i apologize!!

Re: Favorite Fyrianne Eyeshadows?

My favorites are Dragonskin, Newcastle & Oberon. I really like Newcastle over a black base.

Re: Favorite Fyrianne Eyeshadows?

I actually just got a bunch of samples and am eager to try them out. I'm going to swatch them for my blog's debut, which won't be for a while. I can tell you which colors I really liked. I did already try Curiouser and Curiouser and I loved it. I didn't like Arctic Fox as much because it simply wasn't shimmery enough, but it would be perfect for a dark purple smokey eye.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Just have to mention that I got a partial refund today from Fyrinnae as my order was delayed by 2 days.

Their website states an 8-12 day turn around.

I ordered a load of their newest shadows that they did for Hallowe'en and I hadn't expected to hear anything back from them for a month or so (shipping to Ireland is sloooow), so kudos to them for great customer service!

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

I'm planning to make a christmas order from them =D I am so excited! I love the complexity of these colors!

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Edit: Never mind- it's working for me now!


Is anyone else having issues with their website? I haven't been able to get onto it for a week now. All I get is this message:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) You may be rceiving this message if our site is undergoing maintainence, or is temporarily unavailable.

Can anyone advise please? I would love to be able to buy some of their new collection!

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

It was just temporary site maintenance. They mention it on their front page now.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

I think these aren't comparable to MAC piggies, not because they "aren't as good," but because they're different. MAC pigments, IMO, are more like true shades, whereas Fyrinnae shadows are rather complex and multi-layered.

Personally, I recommend putting a dot of water or visine on the back of your hand (I just use water), then dropping in a bit of pigment to apply the colors wet. If the stuff on your hand dries, just reactivate it with a bit more liquid. A firm taklon brush works best for this, like an artist's brush. Then I like to sweep a layer of dry over top with a fluffier shadow brursh...it lasts for hours and looks GORGEOUS.

I haven't used ALL of the colors yet, but Digital Faerie deserves the hype, IMO, and Sidhe looks great with Lucky Charmed.

The super-sparkly colors are best used with pixie epoxy. I don't care much for sparkles, so I don't really own any of those shades, but one of my friends LOVES sparkles and uses Biker Chick and Avenging Salem A LOT with the pixie epoxy.

If you EVER get a color that seems REALLY off, contact them about it and perhaps attach a photo. They are VERY good about sending you a new jar; several people have told me that one of their colors looked "off," but when they sent the issue to Fyrinnae, the new jar was the correct color. I would assume that would happen from time to time with handmade cosmetics. Really, the customer service is great; I sent them a message asking if they ever planned to make a green lip lustre and asked about how metallic Hair Dye is, and they responded promptly. Very sweet people.

I wish I could've tried their perfume oils and their foundation, because everybody RAVES about them.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

Well what'd they say? Are they going to make a green one?

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

"My partner has tossed around the idea of a green before, so that may be in the near future."

^ Sounds like a strong maybe to me.
