Fyrinnae Purple Swatches

Thursday, July 30, 2009
I wanted to start trying to swatch all the colors I have...and it's a big job! I know that I like to see swatches before I buy full sizes of colors. I swatched these dry. A lot of them look similar in the jar, but totally different on! Here are the purples I have:

-Freya- wine/pink (burgandy/purple) glowing shimmer on black base

-Android Angel- sparkling shimmery deep lilac shade with purple and silver sparkle

-Changeling- Deep, dark purple with shimmer and gold sparkle

-Wicked- Deep, dark purple with turquoise shimmer

-Iris- medium light purple with frosty green shimmer

-Fujiro- medium blue violet with a shimmery lavender highlight and silver sparkles

-Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat- from Mad Tea Party collection; a mauve sort of shade, packed with pink sparkle, shimmer and a hint of blue shimmer for good measure, somewhat pink, somewhat lavender and very sparkly

-Valhalla- silvery-mauve taupe with light pink and white shimmer

The flash pictures show the shimmer and sparkles while the no-flash pics show the bases more...Ugh, I wish there was a way to combine the two!

My favorite of all of these is Fujiro. It's a really unique and pretty color that makes eyes pop, no matter what the color is! I even used this on a bride during the winter, just in the inner corners. Very beautiful, a must have.

These swatches are amazing. I love pigments, but I feel like they take more time for me in the mornings! probably not the case at all. Just what I have convinced myself of, lol! I really think I need these in my life though, lol...

Thanks so much for the sweet comments you left on my page. I really appreciate it! Im really glad to have met you as well and look forward to new posts!

Purple is so fun but Mike gets angry when I wear it. I guess it reminds him of you-know-who. Sigh. Next time you're here, we should wear TONS of purple eye shadow just to be naughty and annoy him. :-)

@Shopn'Chomp...Why thank you, darling! I'm a fan of them myself!

@Sara...Aw, no prob, girly! I *heart* your blog!

@Katie...Yeah, I know. I'm definately gonna be wearing purple this weekend...if only I had whore shorts?

@Krista...It does take forever! Even just talking the pictures takes long because it's so hard to capture pigments because of the micas. Thanks!
