Fyrinnae Haul & Swatches

And Finally...FYRINNAE!
This time round my order was huge, mainly because my sister wanted a few things too so we just ordered together and saved having to wait for two separate parcels.

From Left to Right:-
Line1: Sleepy Hallow, Cupcakes & Sprinkles, Anemone, Mystic, Love Potion
Line2: Dressed To Kill, Faerie Realm, Avenging Salem, Archmage, City Lights: Las Vegas (glitter)
Line3: Snow Bunny, Shinigami, Healers Touch, Mephisto, Pumpkinfire

Line1: Sleepy Hallow, Cupcakes & Sprinkles, Anemone, Mystic, Love Potion
omg i LOVE Cupcakes & Sprinkles! its the most amazing lilac colour i just cant get enough of it. Sleepy Hallow and Anemone are also gorgeous. Sleepy Hallow had purple sparkles embedded in to it, i just couldn't get my camera to focus on it :(


Line2: Dressed To Kill, Faerie Realm, Avenging Salem, Archmage, City Lights: Las Vegas (glitter)
Avenging Salem is a black base with dark red highlights and awesome red glitter, which once again my camera wouldn't pick up.

Line3: Snow Bunny, Shinigami, Healers Touch, Mephisto, Pumpkinfire
Snow Bunny is a really cute lavender shade with pink reflects. Shinigami is actually a royal purple with blue and red reflects and Pumpkinfire is a matte black base filled with orange glitter

I forgot to add these in the other pile...how embarrassing.
Platinum, Fyre & Ice, Gilded Wings

beautiful i think Fyre & Ice is a black base filled with rainbow glitter; makes me so excited watching it shimmer under lights. Gilded Wings (i got it as a free sample) is from Fyrinnae's Pro range and its soooI'm going to HAVE to more of it.

Lip Lustre's: Shangri-la, Glitter Kittiez and Diabolic Masquerade

These colours come up almost exactly as you see here when applied on the lips, the only difference is that my natural lip colour does change how vibrant Shangri-la and Glitter Kittiez comes out

Most of these shades came from the Halloween collection, which if you haven't picked up i highly recommend you do., although as far as I'm aware the colours are permanent.

Have you guys bought any Halloween collections from other companies? What did you think?

She Space Haul

The promised swatches of my She Space haul - and my thoughts on some of the shades. I picked all these us during The She Space birthday sale where all the full sized jars were reduced to $2.50

From Left to Right:-
Line1: A Bit Naughty, Lucifers Chariot, Take The Cake, Acidic Reign
Line2: Slightly Insane, Smurfberry Blast, My Blue Heaven, Extra Caution
Line3: Hot For Chocolate, Asylum, Far Too Fabulous, No Scruples
Line4: Tear Jerk, Reap & Sew, Lucky Charm Swatches:
Line1: A Bit Naughty, Lucifers Chariot, Take The Cake, Acidic Reign Lucifers Chariot is more pink than orange as the swatch (or it could just be my monitor) is showing. I was a little disappointed with Take The Cake, the image on TSS made it appear a bit more like the pink Lucifers Chariot turned out to be.

Line2: Slightly Insane, Smurfberry Blast, My Blue Heaven, Extra Caution
All these are pretty true to their actual colours. Slightly Insane was NOT what i expected. The image at TSS and the dicription gave me the idea that it would be a bright, almost neon green. But as you can see its more pastel and quite sheer, i had to pack on a bit of the colour for it to show.
Extra Caution reminded me or a slightly paler version of Bali Mynah by Fyrinnae.

Line3: Hot For Chocolate, Asylum, Far Too Fabulous, No Scruples Asylum is actually a matte black with green glitter going through it, i just couldn't get my focus on it =(

Line4: Tear Jerk, Reap & Sew, Lucky Charm
These are also really sparkly on a dark base but once again i was having issues with the camera lol.
Reap & Sew is a Navy base with purple and green irridescet highlight and a but of different glitters all put together - can i say AMAZING?
Lucky Charm is the same as Asylum, but instead of green glitter there is purple.


Im a little torn by this brand. Some of the colours are really great and match their descriptions perfectly whereas others either dont match the descriptions or are more sheer than i would have expected them to be. I guess its all dependent on what you buy. The colour payoff is really nice and you get a fair bit of product. The jars are the same size as those of the Fyrinnae samples but these are packed in.

Have you bought anything from The She Space? What did you get? xx

Halloween Look 2009

Hey Guys, I know im like 3 days late for this post, which im sorry about but im still doing all my exams so i haven't really had time to post much. For Halloween this year i went as a corpse bride/rag doll inspired from Tim Burtons A Nightmare Before Christmas and the Corpse Bride (of course)

What i used:
- Maybeline mousse foundation, Light no.5 (i needed a paler complexion )
- Rimmel Black Kohl Liner for brows and cheek stitches
- Fyrinnae Snow White eyeshadow (matte black, you can use Mac Carbon) applied with an angled eyeshadow brush
- Kryolan White aqua colour on lid then set with Covergirl eye enhancer, Snow Bunny (matte white)
- NYX lip liner, Hot Red, to line and fill in lips
- Body Shop Red lipstick
- Evil Shades lip gloss, Venom, dabbed on top
- then just for an extra kick i dabbed some fake blood on my lips with made it looked awesomely coagulated after it dried =D

Hope you liked it. xx

Upidi-date ^_^

Hey everyone
Today i finally got my Fyrinnae order and my She Space order.
I was a little disapointed by the shipping time for my Fyrinnae order as it was shipped the same day as my Evil Shades order and arrived nearly a week after...ow well. It happens, just meant that i wasnt able to wear the Lip Lustre i had been hoping for my Halloween costume =(

I was going to post some swatches for you today but it was soo freaking hot today that i've decided to leave it for tomorrow.
Also i got some Halloween pics and new lok for you all ^_^

So i will definatly speak to you all VERY soon!

Evil Shades Haul and Review

Hey guys

Back again!

After i published my last post i went outside and what do u think i found on my doorstep?

My Evil Shades order!

I actually ripped open the box the second i saw it - i was that excited after seeing Phyrra use some of their shades, i was pretty much keeping my ears out for the postman everyday till he finally dropped it off ^_^

The things i ordered were:

- A complete sample set of all 15 shadows they offered

- 3 of their lip glosses

There were so many that i swatched them in colour groups (i don't know why colours just seemed logical).

(From Left to Right) Sinister, Banshee, Acolyte, Abyss, Mysteria, Suffocation

Panic, Zombie, Coffin, Erinnye

Coffin and Erinnye confused me for a bit when i swatched them. I thought that i had swatched the same colour twice but when i moved it under the light i saw the Erinnye had more a dark copper undertone to it and a lot of silver sparkles while Coffin was a bit lighter and had a satin finish to it.

Moonlight, Silver Bullet

This was really annoying to photograph - basically Silver Bullet is more a platinum silver than white that this showing.

Double Barrel, 13th Hour, Devils Bonfire, Venom

Double Barrel and 13th Hour was another confusion for me lol. But even though this photo doesn't show it, 13th Hour actually has a really pretty purple finish to it that comes up in different lights - i just couldn't get my camera to capture it =(

13th Hour, Venom, Lethal Kiss

When applied onto my lips these aren't so pigmented, they give more of a "stained" effect. However i still really like them. They are really smooth, and super moisturising believe it or not. Sadly their staying power isn't all that good but honestly i don't really care, i still love them.

Overall i really like this company. They have fantastic products, their comunication is excellent and their shipping is also really fast. ow did i mention how affordable they are?

It's run by Evil Angel (check out her blog!), and she makes all the products herself. Including some really cute jewellery that's just been released. The colours are amazingly pigmented, all these swatches only took a minuscule amount of product applied with my pinky finger :)

I'm really looking forward to using these shadows and i will be looking for an excuse to go out just so i can wear them ^_^

Have any of you bought anything from Evil Shades? What did you get? What other indie cosmetics companies do you purchase from? Would love to hear your thoughts

xx

This is just a lil something for my favourite B-tard ^_^
