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

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
The topic Kuuipo1207 started “Anybody used Fyrinnae before” is within this thread. Scroll up a few posts and you will see it.
She posted:

 TIA! 
And you replied:

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.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
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."

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
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.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
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.

Re: Fyrinnae?? (formerly Bombshell Bath)
deathcabber = 
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.
