Fyrinnae pressed eyeshadows!

First off I am a huge Fyrinnae fan. I have owned around 98% of every color they have produced since 2008. Their colors are so unique and fantastic, but as we all know; loose eyeshadow takes more effort to apply. When I found out that Fyrinnae was releasing a pressed eyeshadow collection I KNEW I had to have some of these. I originally ordered 1-2, then ordered a few more. Lets just say that the USPS managed to rough up one of the packages and pulverize Steampunk eyeshadow. If you think that Fyrinnae just shines with their eyeshadow making skills, you are wrong. They really really shine in the customer service department. They were very happy to replace Steampunk for me and did so very promptly! They are such sweet guys that they included some extra goodies to make up for it too! Totally unnecessary and made me feel bad, but wow. As an internet business owner, I look up to them as an example of how to treat your customers! Anyways, onto the fun stuff.....swatches!!!

My faves are Jade Ghost and Polar Bear. They are insanely pigmented, I mean whoa. I havent worn them yet, but you can barely touch your finger to the eyeshadow and get loads of color. The others are all buttery smooth and very nice! I wish Parental Advisory was as "in your face" bright as it is in loose form but I can tell it is very build-able. Sleepy Hollow skipped on my hand for the swatch pic, but I think it was because of the bones in my hand (weird, sorry).

I did get to wear Steampunk on Halloween and it is super pretty and smooth as a crease color! I had great wear for 5-6 hours but then took my makeup off...I can imagine it would have lasted much longer!
