Fyrinnae’s My Kind Invented Sass

TKB Trading’s Nebula

Just like it says on the tin…blackened violet sparkle. I can’t see much of any color-change in this one, except to maybe a slightly more blue-violet at angles. Since this is an unblended mica, it won’t stay in place very long unless you use a sealant. It...

Finger Paints’ Liquid Lilac

Fyrinnae’s Exquisites collection

These started out as semisheer-backed multichrome colors. The first three released - Breathtaking, Dreamwoven Luxuries, Elegant Reverie - came out in December 2014. Princess for a Day followed about a year later. A year after that came several more similar Exquisites. I was not a gigantic fan of the semisheer, more...

Fyrinnae’s Purride 2018 collection

This collection released for Pride Month showcases six of the eight colors of Gilbert Baker’s original pride flag, along with two additional colors. Everything is pretty saturated with excellent coverage. These are all Fyrinnae’s standard loose-powder eyeshadow formula, so they don’t mix with water perhaps as well...

TKB Trading’s Intergalactic

The blackened base and the scattered gold shimmer are the most visible parts of this color. The brown/copper/red shift is there, but not as easily visible as in some multichrome colors. The coverage is good, but for some reason, the color is…not lightened, but muted or filtered...

TKB Trading’s Astral

Medium-deep emerald with a blackened base and color changes to gold and blue at different light angles. This is sort of a multichrome, but it’s not as dramatic a shift as Fyrinnae’s Exquisites. The sparkle finish may also not be to everyone’s tastes - it wasn’t...

Color Club’s Off The Charts

I love the glow-from-within that this color has! I don’t love the tiny-bubble-y formula, though, or the tendency to show streaks. The finish itself is…interesting. Not quite a frost, a little more reflective than a pearl. I also had to apply three coats to get full opacity. Two...

Shiro Cosmetics’ Summer Things Never Change collection

Some highlight-useful colors in here (the gold and brown metallics, primarily) and one that can work as a peachy blush-undercolor. The two cool shades work as eyeshadows, but I think that they’re too pigmented to work well as face or cheek color. They’re a bit too bright and...

Color Club’s Retrograde Rising collection

When this originally came out, I was not incredibly interested. (I was also working a job that I intensely disliked and trying to jobsearch and not really making headway, but…yeah.) The color palette was all cooler and neutral shades, which is normally something that would visually catch my interest....
