Swatches of Fyrinnae Samples!

So I purchased a few samples from Fyrinnae and I seriously love them! They are SO pigmented and for $2 they're great for value! They come in a little jar and contain 1/3 tsp of eyeshadow. I'll put in a little excerpt of what the company is about.

"Fyrinnae is not a "mineral" makeup company. We create unique cosmetics, all of which are vegan (this means no silk, carmine, pearl, beeswax, etc)..."

And the shipping is amazinggggg! It's FREE on orders over USD$20 and for smaller orders it costs #3.00 within US and $3.50 internationally!

I seriously HATE the fact that shipping is seriously ridiculous on some sites and I think that by making shipping so affordable they can extend their market internationally.

Eye Shadow Ingredients: Mica. May contain: Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide, Manganese Violet, Ultramarines, Chromium Oxide, Copper Powder, Bronze Powder, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Red #40, FD&C Yellow #5, Ferric Ferrocyanide, Silica, Styrene/PVP Copolymer, Myristyl Myristate. All ingredients are FDA-approved for eye-area use, and there is never any glitter used.

(From L-R: Monlalivel, Tamarin, Sumatran Tiger, Cookie Dough, Druid Werewolf, Choco-Cake Mix, Knickers In A Twist, Japan, Bali Mynah, We're All Mad Here, Treacle-Well)
Quality: 10/10
Pigmentation: 10/10
Blendability: 9/10 - Easy peasy on shimmery colours, a bit harder on matte, which is usually always the case anyway.
Packaging: 8/10 (only cause I hate little jars :P I'm a sucker for nice packaging)
Overall: 9/10 - Fyrinnae is seriously an amazing company and the guys are super sweet and funny. NO, they did not pay me to say this or review this, I purchased all these colours myself and fell in love all on my own! :)

  4. Hi Phoebe!

    The Revlon colourstay is probably my best drugstore foundation match, though it still leans toward "neutral" rather than yellow. If you compare it with the MUFE #117, they are really close!

    hehehe, now you're gonna be stuck with me forever because we have the same skin colouring XD

  5. Hi Phoebe :) How have you been?!
    The swatches look amazing. Really pigmented like you said....I love the three browns you got and what appears to be a dark olive green (Japan?) to the right of those browns.
    I know what you mean about shipping prices. It really makes me think twice about buying stuff online for the most part but the shipping price with Fyrinnae is really affordable!
