Eh, I ordered like 5 of those shadows, I never use them anymore. They don't really stick to my eyelid even when using a base, they just kind of get smeared around and then fall off.

I just ordered $44 worth of shadow samples from them because I'd heard fantastic reviews from friends.. I'm splurging because I just got paid =X Hope it's not all wasted as I see both positive & negative comments about it here

I got the rice powder in and I love it so far! It's a great primer and helps to control my oilies quite nicely. Definitely a must buy.

In any case, I went ahead and splurged for those color-changing inks liquids. The color change is extremely subtle--I was a bit disappointed. As to the liners themselves, though, they're wonderful. They dry quickly and stay put. And even though the color-changing aspect was a let down, the colors themselves are quite beautiful. I'm definitely going to buy more of Fyrinnae's liners in the future!

As for the shadows, I haven't really tried them out quite yet. Well, not with a base, anyway. They don't quite last as long as I'd like on my lids. But after I try them out with UDPP, I'll let you know how I feel about them!

Random question-is Daemonic loose shadow discontinued? I can't find it on the website and I absolutely MUST have it-haha!

I dont know if you have read this review posted on the Fyrinnae website, but it may be relevant to you:

About Lover's Quarrel:
In terms of staying power, this is a great liner! However, the color changes are pretty much non-existent. If anything it goes on a purpl-brown shade and that\'s it, so if you\'re looking for the kind of dramatic contrast shown on the swatch, you won\'t get it.

(developer\'s note: this changes from burgundy to bronze to green when you move it closer and further from light sources. When wearing it you can\'t see much change, unless you hold a mirror and look while walking through differrent rooms/outdoors.)


HTH

Fyrinnae are a staple supplier of my eyeshadows and finishing powders. Some e/s have chalky textures (the rare few) but most are really smooth and silky, a pleasure to apply. I don't know what I'd do without them! Those asking about bases, I use UDPP and they stick as well/ as long as any of the mac pigments I own.

A few swatches, the light is currently non-existant in my house, so sorry about the quality!

I really like Starfish from Fyrinnae-it's a really subtle shimmer It's too bad that they have such a long turnaround time right now or I'd make an order.

Unfortunately for me, I can't wear any of their eyeshadows - too much shimmer and sparkle, not suitable for everyday office wear. At least I only spent $$ on samples instead of full size. I love the philosophy behind this company; too bad they can't come up with pressed mineral non-sparkly kind of eyeshadows.

They do have a section of low-shimmer and matte shadows here. Not a huge selection but some beautiful shades anyway. And you can always get the powder modifier if you prefer your shadows in pressed format.

I'm not a huge fan of their eyeshadows myself but on some days they work. I mostly go there for mineral foundation

i really want to try their pigments

thanks for the link, I didn't know they had the powder modifier- Next time I'm hunting for mineral eyeshadows I may have to give them another look. I really don't like loose mineral eyeshadows at all!

i love love love fyrinnae but oh GOD the order took about two months to get here (i live in australia)

but my shadows stay on all day through rain or shine, and all i use for a base is this cheap no brand gold stick of cream eyeshadow or something.

I have ordered three times from Fyrinnae, and it's my all-time-favourite brand of eyeshadows! Yes, the shipping times are awful, but it's worth it. And it's great they ship for free when you order a bit more. I live in sweden and it has worked perfectly everytime.

Colours: They vary in quality of course, the ones with more glitter are harder to get a good result with, but I find that with all shadows, no matter the brand. But they give such a great colour payoff, and stay on the whole day without looking dull at the end of it, and with a good base, it doesn't crease at all! And the range of colours, it's fantastic!

Some of my favourites are Rapunzel had extensions, Black Plum, Dragonskin, Solstice and Dragonmagic, Kitten in heels is also a great colour. I have about 40 of their shadows, and more coming!
