Fyrinnae Review

Sorry for being away, but yay.. I'm back. No excuses, so lets jump right into it. I got 2 blushes, two highlighters, one oil control powder, and four lipglosses and they are all in sample size. First off the blushes and highlighters,

From L to R: Yellow Highlighter, Pink Highlighter, Charm Blush, and Enchant Blush

With Flash, they all give off a high sheen and there are tiny sparkles in the blushes and the highlighters that I adore. Since I like a matte foundation, and prefer to choose where I like to have a sheen to my face, I tend to go for shimmery blushes often. I didn't really didn't care for the highlighters too much, because they weren't anything special, but the blushes are what really impressed me.

No flash. In the container, I thought they were matte, but upon clearer inspection, it had pink sparkles for the Charm blush, and orange sparkles for Enchant. They are some of the most gorgeous colors that I have, and I would totally repurchase them again in the full tub. I dust Charm on lightly on my skin and it gives me a light pinkish lavender "dolly" look. They last for a long time, and my sister has been taking Charm and using it as an eyeshadow instead. As for the oil control one, I haven't tested that out thoroughly and will tell you if it works out well.

As I mentioned before, the lipglosses are what gave me a bit of a problem, highly pigmented, they have a scent but its different for each lipgloss and none of it is offending. But believe it or not, the highly pigmented part is what gave me a problem.

From L to R: Visual Kei,Pink Guitar,Lollipop Pop, Mega Hold, and Romantique

Imagine having Romantique on your lips exactly how I swatched on my hand, and not sheered out. Yikes! They are not sticky, slides smoothly, no chunky glitter, long lasting and bright. What I do is take a neutral brown color, like Nyx's Thalia or Champagne and apply this over my lip gloss. It tones down the bright colors and makes them more wearable.

This is Visual Kei mixed with Champagne lipstick. I put the lip gloss on the bottom because f I apply it on top, the Visual Kei will overpower the Champagne, and you will get a different brighter color than when you do the opposite. More wearable than ...
this. Don't let the flash fool, you. It is crazy bright on my skin and not to be worn alone in the day for work. It reminds me of Milani In Vogue, minus the fuschia glitter.

Overall, Fyrinnae is a company that I would definitely go back too, especially since I can try samples along with the low shipping costs. The website states to wait 22-28 days but I only waited two weeks, and it is not mass produced one size fits all. You can read more about the company, on their website, and they sent me a sample of a eyeshadow that I will not review since I didn't buy it. But I plan to repurchase their blushes and try out their eyeshadows really soon, so watch out for that. But until then, the next review will be...
