Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)

I love their shadows though and rice powder etc. Their inks linkers are cool too. 
Well I use my finger to blend it on after I roll on a tiny bit on my lid. I have no problems with it. I like it. It wasn't on the site for a while. It just recently got added back onto it.

Really? I didn't know that! I used to order from there every month until their shipping got absolutely ridiculous. It's not worth it to me anymore. Oh, yeah, that's what I do too...for some reason I just don't like it; doesn't seem to make the colors pop or stay any better then without it. I find Pure Luxe's to be better out of mineral brands anyway but I guess we'll see after UDPP! Maybe I'll do a test of all three on my arm and see which stays the longest.

Yep it was off the site for a bit. But anyways the shipping is back to almost normal
"Current "processing" time frame is around 7-20 business days for most purchases (excludes weekends and holidays!). "
UDPP does work very well and has a lot of staying power.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
My order finally came a few weeks ago. I love the eyeshadows, and the foundation and blush are nice too, as is the rice primer. The roll-on primer I didn't like at all though, it really dries out my lids and makes my eyeshadows chalky and hard to blend.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
Hi everyone,
I purchased a load of samples, including mineral foundations and eye colours. The foundations were lovely (although I think I actually prefer Everyday Minerals), and the eye colors are fantastic! I'd love to order more colours, as their range is so unusual, but I have a slight problem, which I hope somebody can advise me on: no matter how carefully I apply the eye colours, I'm getting extreme fallout over the rest of my face! I've tried applying with one hand (using MAC 252, 194 and 212 brushes), while holding a tissue beneath my eyes with the other hand - this helped a little but didn't totally solve the problem. I've also tried applying the colours wet, but I don't always want such an intense result and, even then, a blob dropped onto my face and ruined my makeup! It's also taking me absolutely ages to complete my makeup because I'm having to be so careful - today I had to give up and resort to my old pressed eye colours because I was running late, which was very disappointing. Any tips would be very gratefully received.
Thanks,
Cerydwen

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
First, what type of e/s base are you using? Sorry if I missed that! Many people use UD Primer Potion or MAC Paints which both help against fallout. I also find tha Paint Pots work ok, but Shadesticks do not work as well (too sticky almost). Also many people use synthetic brushes shaped like MAC 249. Also, dont buff these on...pat. Not only will they blend better but they will stick better. If none of this helps I will try to think of some other suggestions!

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
Thanks for your advice - I'm currently using Fyrinnae's rice powder primer to prevent creasing, but maybe some of the products you mention will help the pigments to adhere more successfully - I'll also try the brush you recommend and pat the colours on. If I still have problems I'll let you know!
Thanks again for your help.
Best regards,
Cerydwen

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
I placed an order with them on 5/21 and read the 2-17 day processing thing. I wasn't in any rush, so no biggie. Then I got an email on the 23rd; my items were being shipped! Woo-Hoo!
So far, I'm loving them! Serious pigmentation and pretty easy to apply as well. Not much fall out (with Loreal Decrease primer) either.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
My second order came today. It didn't take long this time at all, around 2 weeks before it was dispatched and a week for delivery.
Colours are fantastic! I got 28 samples, and a full size Digital Faerie.
Aztec Gold is amazing, def one of my favourites

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
I love their superpower foundation - it is a bit chalky for my taste, but has great coverage

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
I have really fallen in love with the rice powder primer as well in addition to the amazing shades they offer for eyeshadows. They have recently added lip lusters too which I'll probably be ordering in another day or two, they have a small but versatile looking selection and offer sample sizes.
FYI on the issue of fallout: I usually put a heavy amount of powder down under my eyes & then after applying my makeup sweep it all off with a fan brush. Then I apply foundation etc... I know other ppl use this method too and it's definitely what's worked out best for me when working with loose shadows & pigments.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
Bizarre, I rarely/ never get fallout with Fyrinnae no matter what base I use. If you want some extra "grab" try a relatively dry cream eyeshadow and use it with a light hand as a base.
