TKB Trading’s Blackstar Blue

Fyrinnae’s Boot Season

Not necessarily a super-unique color. But it's vibrant, it stays put, it's blackened without leaving a mass of sooty residue…in short, it's your standard gorgeous Fyrinnae eyeshadow. The color would fit in quite well with Sleek's Arabian Nights palette that I used earlier this week.
