Fyrinnae & MAC pigments & SE brushes [Pics]

[darling]

Fyrinnae takes a LONG time to come =[ However the wait was definitely worth it. I think I ordered a total of 25 shadow samples..

These have not been pressed yet, but I'll get to them some time soon hopefully..

Pressed, 3 of which crumbled because I used too much alcohol. I'll try pressing again later

Close-up of some pressed ones

^ Crumbled after I tried to use it

MAC piggies that I pressed.. I bought Violet again because I actually lost mine while moving =/ I found that shadows/pigments are a lot easier to press when you have more than 1/4 of a teaspoon haha.

My current goal is to press all of my MAC pigments & Fyrinnae shadows ^^

MAC Formal Black brushes I purchased from Ebay as a set.. Still unsure whether they're real or not, so i posted more detailed photos of them here..

Thanks for looking! It's a small haul but I'm saving up for Fafi

Its not small...those samples add up. Great haul

I love Fyrinae but they take FOREVER. They need to get that in order so I can buy from them. I waited over a month for my stuff to get here.

Question--How on earth do you press your Fyrinnae pigments? I tried doing mine and every single one crumbled.

Fabulous haul!!

You're making me want to order from Fyrinnae, but I don't think I could stand the wait! LOL Enjoy!!!

Wow, those colours are brill!

I have loads of pigment jars..and they make a mess on my cheeks (esp after I put my foundation on!) Grrr!! and what a great idea! Pressing them! But how? :S

CAn you possibly direct me to a link where it explains such a method? Or maybe you can explain?

Great haul! You do an amazing job at pressing! I've tried pressing a few of my mineral shadows & they crumbled.

Omg, what a haul! I want to order from Fyrinnae so bad, but the processing time keeps scaring me away. Great to see your order came through (and oh, those MAC piggies!)

Nice haul and those brushes are all real!! WOW your pressed pigments look so professional!!! What technique did you use?

macmistress- check out the cosmetics tutorials threads or search pressed pigments! There are a few really good and easy tuts on how to press pigments!

Great haul! Let us know how you like the Fyrrinae piggies- I'm really considering buying from them, but not sure if they'll turn out or not.

Anyhoo, great collection- have fun with it

Nice haul! ANd yeah those brushes def look real to me

I have them, I got them Winter 06, 2 sets I think, face and eyes.

 

[prettygirl]

wow your pigments look FAB!! and i can notice that your 219 se brush has something a LITTLE bit off.. the "SE" is crooked (i took my exact one like that to make sure), but i don't know if that's a definite sign or just a little slip up.

Lucky you !!!

great colors

!!

That's so neat!

I really want to press a bunch of my pigments - I have waayy too many samples!!! But, isn't the alcohol unsafe, considering you'll be putting it on your eyes? :S

also, when the pigments are pressed, are they the same, or is the color more vibrant/less?

Thanks a lot....
