Fyrinnae (pronounced Feer-ih-nay, the y is soft) is one of the more unique vegan makeup companies you may stumble across, and is home to some of the most truly unique eye shadow shades I have found. From vibrant blues and indigo that you feel you could go swimming in on a warm day, to lusciously rich bronzes and earthen colours, their formulas are more than just mica all shmushed together. There is no glitter in their products, instead, they're layered and/or baked to produce some spectacular results!
The following swatches are over Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy; a pigment enhancer where a little goes a long way. This isn't a primer, but if you think your shadows were bright before, try some of this stuff!
- Fire Opal - Metallic coppery bronze on a charcoal base.
- Rapunzel had Extensions - Pink with golden shimmer.
- Arcane Magic Collection; Steampunk - Taupe with purple undertones and a golden shimmer.
- Sake and Sashimi - Earthy bronze with gold and green sparkles.
- Bastet - Velvety black with golden sparkles.
- Pumpkinfire - Charcoal black with copper sparkles.
- Purgatory - Bright wine red with bright red sparkles.
- Freya - Deep amethyst with bright purple sparkles.

I love, love LOVE these colours! They really pop with the Pixie Epoxy, but lack vibrancy without it. The blacks become grey as you blend them out, and a lot of the sparkles that make these shadows stunning when they hit the light are lost in regular application. I also find the lids of my jars constantly come loose also, but I have had these shadows for over a year now, so they may have just been a defective batch of jars.
There are two sizes of jars; full sized jars have a net weight of 3 grams for $6.25, while their mini jars have a generous 1/3 of a teaspoon of product in them, which weigh in at about .4 to .7 of a gram depending on the shadow, and cost $2.25. They do not do sample sizes as their mini jars are so reasonably priced. They also ship internationally.
To round this review up, these shadows are statement shadows; my opinion is that they should be worn either by themselves, or as the focus shadow for a more glam look. If you compare any of Fyrinnae's shadows in person, you can see there's something about them which makes them different, more unique in their jeweled tones and almost oil slick sheen and shimmer. I haven't used these shadows enough as I've always had something new and shiny to distract me, but now that compulsive buying is taking a bit of a backseat, I can't wait to wear these and create some fun looks!
