Fyrinnae: First purchase and first impression.

Welcome back lovies! Today's post is about a new company to me,  I have only heard amazing reviews from this company, so I ordered a few samples. Their samples come in small jars and are 2.50 each. Shipping was $1.75. The processing time was stated as 35-40 business days which is a lot but, I received mine in 3 business day, which was amazing. I was super excited to try the colors that I bought from them. I will say that the first thing that I noticed was their photos on their website didn't do the pigments any justice at all. The colors where more pigmented and beautiful in person than on their site. There pigments are very silky and smooth. They have a buttery type finish. Below are the colors that I purchased along with a free sample too. Hope you like and enjoy.
Bitey Tryrannosaur
a bright pea green with sparkle
 

Bollywood Babe
A light pink with sparkle

Digital Faerie
A turquoise blue with shimmer
 

Parental advisory
Despite what the picture shows this shadow is purple. I couldn't get a purple photo in any light to come out on this pigments.

Dragons Wing
A grass green with iridescence
 

All pigments where swatched over Benefit Lemon aid, and taken with flash. 
my overall thoughts and feeling. I honestly know what all the hype is about this company now. They have affordable and great cosmetics. They carry almost everything a makeup junkie needs and wants. I have heard great things about their pressed shadows, but I really don't want to spend $9.00 on a pressed shadow. I will continue to purchase from them and hopefully will be buying some full size shadows once I get more room in my collection.
 
overall experience ratings:
Product: 9/10
Product Pigmentation 5/5
Application 5/5
Packaging 5/5
Shipping: 5/5
Would I purchase from this company again? Yes
Would I recommend this company? Yes

My Pretty Zombie

I recently made my first purchase with a company called My Pretty Zombie. I have seen their page on etsy many time, but I never made a purchase. The other day they where running a 33% sale on everything in the store, so I figured why not. I purchased two collections that consisted of three colors each. The collections where $15.00 each, and with the 33% discount and shipping I mangaged to only pay $23.00 and some change. When buying Indie makeup it can be kind of tricky. The way the internet and photoshop have become, you can get items that you don't want, by deceiving photos. I had always been hesitant to purchase from My Pretty Zombie, only because their photos looked almost too good to be true, but boy wasn't I wrong. Actually there photos don't do the colors that I got enough justice. Below are photos of each pigment and swatches of each pigment.

 mNG set: a beautiful pink themed trio.
mNG #2
MPZ: a peachy pink with golden green shifts.
BMEB: A bright pink with a gold undertone. Looks pink one way and looks gold another way. Absolutely a beautiful color.
 
mNG#3
MPZ: a bubblegum pink with a blueish/purple shift.
BMEB: a light pink with a very vibrant blue/green undertone.
This color would be a great color for blending your pinks together due to its soft pink color and the iridescence in it.
 
mNG#1
MPZ: Hot Pink with a blue shift.
BMEB: a pink fushia color with a slight blue under tone to it. This has to be my favorite color out of these three colors. It includes two of my top three colors bright pink and light blue.
These shadows are easy to apply and work with (Blend). The shadows are very silky and soft, compared to other companies that I have tried out. The color pay off is also great!
 
The Blue Period Set
Dissoultion
MPZ: Purple/Blue base.
BMEB: Dissoultion is a stunning true blue with lots of purple iridescence. This is another one that you can look at and get two different colors. What I love about this color, is that stunning purple undertone to it. It latterly takes my breath away.

Infirmity
MPZ: Mossy green/ blue base.
BMEB: First off this color is just stunning again. It have a darker blue color to it but also has greenish/gold undertone to the pigment. Again this is another pigment that looks one color one way, and another one a different way.

Forsaken
MPZ:Turquoise/blue base
BMEB: This is a pretty plain blue compared to the last two. This is a very bright and vibrant blue. For me there really isn't another to describe this color then what I did.

Next thing is swatches of each of the collections.
mNG trio: These have been swatched over benefit lemon aid and photos where taken with flash.


The Blue Period Trio
Each shadow was swatched over Vixoden Cosmetics Eye Plaster and taken with flash.

Eye Of The Day and Exciting News!

So I actually got up early enough before work to do my makeup. If yall didnt know I work night at an assisted living facility. So I was going to try to do a cut crease but I realized how freaking small of a space that I have between my eyeball and my brow. Totally didn't work out lol. I was really debating on posting this because I thought that I got all the black off but you can see a little bit of it smeared, boo. Ok so for this look I used my BH 88 shimmer pallete. (photos of it and direct link will be down below)
I used 4 colors from this palette. I used two of the blues, a pink and a green. I also used Kims Kreations Therapy for my bottom linner.
As you can tell you can spot the black a little bit but I really did like this look so I wanted to share it.


 You can purchase the Pallette that I used by Clicking the link below which will take you right to one I used.

Darling Girl Cosmetics First order.

Darling Girl Cosmetics review and first impression. I recently made my first purchase from Darling Girl Cosmetics. I have actually been a fan of their page for a while but one of the facebook groups that I am in and always talk about in my post, finally made me break down and make a purchase. I made a small purchase of some of their new summer shadows. I didn't know what to purchase and wanted to try many of their shadows. I settled for 2 full size jars, which are 5 gram jars with sifters and I grabbed 3 Mini jars which are 3 gram jars with sifters. I also purchased some of their superstar serum to foil the shadows. Darling Girl has some really awesome things going for customers. Each week they do a limited edition shadow in a 3 gram jar for free with a purchase of $10.00 or morwithout shipping. My total was high enough therefore I was able to get the gift with purchase. Darling Girl Cosmetics also offers a different shadow or item from their shop at 20% off each week. I really cant resist sales lol. Ok so I was able to grab the limited edition gift with purchase this order and the other two orders that I have placed since then lol.
 
SO, my first order consisted of the following colors:
Beach Blanket Bing (5 Gram Jar)
Poolside Party (3 Gram Jar)
Tinny Bikini (3 Gram Jar)
Heatwave (3 Gram Jar)
Stars and Stripes (5 Gram Jar)
Haute Berry (3 Gram Jar GWP)
I was very impressed by all the colors and I am totally in love with Poolside party. I will Probably end up purchasing a full size jar before she takes the colors down if she does.
 Stars and Stripes
BMEB: Very firey red with lots of sparkles
Darling Girl: Matte red base loaded with rainbow sparkle and pink and blue color shifting sparkle.
 

 Beach Blanket Bingo
BMEB: Very Bright Matte Pink

Virus Insanity Samples!

So I recently purchased some clamshells from Virus Insanity. I have always wanted to try her shadows out but I hate to wait a long time. Virus Insanity was having a sale about a month ago that convinced me to make a purchase. Virus Insanity had a free shipping on all orders. That alone saved me 5 dollars. I just purchased a few samples. I honestly have so much makeup that I try to only buy samples or mini jars now on! So I placed this Order on June 14 and received the package today July 8. It was a little more than her processing time than stated. I was a little frustrated by that, but some of that comes from it being my hard earned money and I am afraid of getting scammed, or products being completely different from what they actually look like in person. Anyways back to the order.
I purchased 5 Clamshells. When I got my package I had 6 clamshells in there. I got an extra one for placing an order I guess, which is awesome. So here are the photos that I took of the products I got.
Here is a photo of the clamshells closed. There are no ingredient labels. Virus Insanity has their ingredients listed on their site though.

Becca Ecca a Lime green. Has some yellowish tone too it
VI: Becca Ecca is a super Bright Lime Green.

Bluebell: a Bright Blue with Sparkle
VI: A frosty Blue that leans slightly purple
I Honestly don't see any purple in this color. I really don't care that there isn't purple cause I love the color as it is, so its a win win.

Splash: A very True Bright Blue.
VI: a bright blue toned teal.
I am a huge sucker for blue especially any bright and true blues.

Excitement: a Magenta pink with lots of iridescence
VI: Hot Pink with Blue Iridescence. 

OMG: a Bright Royal Blue
VI: a Bright Blue with Silver Rainbow Hologram Glitter and Blue Glitter.
I really didn't notice glitter. I had received a sample from a sample swap of this color and knew I had to have it and I still never knew it had glitter in it.

Corrion: A light to medium dark brown with lots of green iridescence in it.
VI:deep chocolatey brown with green tones and iridescence that shifts from greenish gold, to greenish silver, to blue.

 Swatches where done over Benefit Lemon aid primer
Swatches where done over Benefit Lemon Aid.

All photos where used with flash and under inside lighting.

My overall experience with Virus Insanity. I love the colors and I would purchase from them again! I would not get samples Because the samples where half the price of the full size jars which I think are 5 gram jars, from what I have seen from others photos. I really do suggest them to other buyers. Virus Insanity is always, ALWAYS having some kind of sales. My swatches where kinda crappy. I don't usually do swatches of samples cause, well they are samples not a lot in them, Plus some of my good brushes that I use for swatching are already packed.
NOTED: all items where purchased by me and I was not paid for a review. I love trying new brand and getting new makeup. WHAT girl doesn't :)

Thanks for reading.
