This is my last two Fyrinnae hauls combined, into one super-giant-mega-zordhaul. I'll post pictures of my entire collection as soon as I clear enough space on my desk to actually lay it all out - at over 100 eyeshadows, and slightly over 30 lip lustres, now. I still haven't met a Fyrinnae product I haven't liked.
Branching out into face products, too, and I'm really loving their Fluff finishing powder and Velvet-Gel Silica Primer, so check those out (because I was right about the Pixie Epoxy, wasn't I?).
Let the lemming begin!

An OCD-infuriating 49 jars, with one perched on top.
Nijiro and Mischief Makers both have subtle rainbow sparkle.
Parental Advisory, Mephisto and Neo Universe are must-haves for purple-lovers. Or y'know, people with eyes, and taste.
Android Angel snuck in again, 'cause it's sneaky. Iris and Sea Otter were surprisingly stunning.
Close-ups of Avenging Salem and Oberon, 'cause they looked crud in the other one.
City Glam glitter, a Professional Colour, and two Arcane Magics in regular light.
Same Arcane Magics held up to light to show the colour shift.
Lip Lustres! Kinda gloopy looking here. In reality they're non-sticky lip stains with the moisturising feel of butter on the lips. Meloncholy is the most awesome name.
Romantique, Fanservice, Deceptive Innocence, Ice Cream Party, Bloodstains & Very Berry Happy must be owned by everyone with lips.
Long-term plan is to create a giant swatch post, linking to many other swatch posts organised by brand. So eventually all my Fyrinnae swatches will be in the same place. I'll also put up lip swatches - eventually - of all the Lip Lustres, but that'll take longer on account of my only possessing one pair of lips.
I make you want to buy things, don't I? Aren't I awful.
If this wasn't enough, you can see all my other Fyrinnae swatches right here.

...it's as though you knew I vowed not to spend any money in February. Maybe I should just have my boss start mailing my paychecks directly to Fyrinnae.
1 February 2010 10:38Oh come on, Katherine, it's BARELY February. I bet in some time zones it's still January.
1 February 2010 10:48Loook at the prettieeessss.
That is an excellent argument. Paypal is clearly in some near-Hawaiian time zone, and so any purchases will not count as February spending. And the site's back up. It would be terrible to not celebrate by snagging some goodies.
1 February 2010 11:08FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF...
1 February 2010 12:15LIP LUSTRES!!!
Want. :(
Gosh... I'm kind of crazy for lip products x.x' and eyeshadows. Ugh... you are so evil!! XDDDD
1 February 2010 12:48Hm... great to see some shots of products I've bought samples of too....
But... I'm saving up money. I can't spend much...
Gotta save for an apartment, for an office, for a trip.... and for more make-up goodies! x.x'
ugh...must...control...myself...
I make you want to buy things, don't I? Aren't I awful.
1 February 2010 13:20Yes.
I just...I have no idea what to say. I want everything that you swatched. E-ver-y-thing.
=D
Argh I am SO broke right now :( waaaaant
1 February 2010 13:44Yes, yes, you are awful! When I went on their site to order something they had it down, but I will have to place an order SOON!
1 February 2010 13:51I've been eagerly awaiting this post before I placed my next order, because the swatches on the site itself really don't do the colours justice. There are now so many more things I want. But that's okay because I have a birthday coming up soon, so hopefully whatever I spend will be recooped (that's not spelt right, is it?)
1 February 2010 14:28Better go and find my Visa!
love all your swatches, they all look really pigmented and the shades are vibrant and super pretty
1 February 2010 14:30Rainbowy PERFECTNESS! Those 2 AM's looks awesometastic, I didn't think they'd shift THAT MUCH! Shite. I want to get the goldy one you had on the other post. Something wizardy I think.
1 February 2010 15:02Unfortunately, I haven't bought anything from them yet :(
1 February 2010 15:16I seriously took out a mini-notebook and started writing down the ones I liked the best from your swatches.. Then I realized almost all of them were written down. Hopefully after bills I can order some colors, these look amazing. :)
I'm a long time lurker, hi, I feel the need to announce that because of this blog I have bought three GOSH brushes and a Sleek palette and placed THREE Aromaleigh orders. Okay, one Aromaleigh order. The other two were made because I was so impressed with the products. Basically, this blog will be the death of my debit card, especially now you've swatched the Lip Lustres, which I have wanted to see properly for a while now. :( :( :D
1 February 2010 15:52You have no effect on me and my steely resolve.
1 February 2010 16:33*crosses arms*
Dear Ana, when I don't have any money left for food, rent or bills, I'm gonna blame you.
1 February 2010 16:39These are SO. FUCKING. GORGEOUS. I want them... Waaant...
P.S. You WERE right about Pixie Epoxy. Got my Fyrinnae order last week and duh, I'm in love.
Ana, this isn't fair.
1 February 2010 17:01You KNOW I have to wait until March!
There goes my thought of just getting 30 samples and 3 lip lustre samples. I'm gonna have to adjust my list. This is ridiculous. You make me want to spend money before I even have it. But I do love you for it. These are AMAZING. I've been waiting for this post for aaaages. Blah. I want them all. NAO!
Oh man, there is so much prettiness in this post, my brain might implode....or explode? Ehh....
1 February 2010 19:10Anyway :P
All these colours look so intense! Why can't I ever get my Fyrinnae colours to show up on my eyes like that? Wibble :(
You're not doing a very good job of making me NOT buy all the Lip Lustres, you know. (Bloodstains was already on my list, you'll be pleased to know.)
1 February 2010 19:25Also, would your OCD not allow you do lay out your 49 eyeshadow jars as 7x7?
Of course, my OCD obviously let that typo through, so I'm not one to talk.
1 February 2010 20:15This is SO mouthwatering! I'm about to put in another order now because of you! You also have some pretty amazing swatches :) I can't wait to see the lip lustre's lip swatched!
1 February 2010 20:22Question: How do Bounce and Whee! compare? How sheer are they and how cool toned are they?
Your swatches look so much better than mine! Love love love it!
1 February 2010 20:42<3
Gulp.. there are no words.. just... o...m....g. WOWOWOWOWOWOWW. *brain bursts* corrrr. Beautiful beautiful. I love your clear pics and labelling!
1 February 2010 21:43and you better believe that I'm gonna bookmark this page of yours for future reference... *hits CTRL + D repeatedly* so...weak.....gah! MUST RESIST
1 February 2010 21:45I made a Fyrinnae order! And it's been dispatched!
1 February 2010 22:01I'm getting Shangri-La, Meloncholy and Type A lip lustres, samples of all the Alice collection and samples of Healer's Touch, Farseer and Faerie Glamour Arcane Magic and Pixie Epoxy (obviously). I'm very excited!
Oh yes, you were very right with Pixie Epoxy! I can't make up my eyes without it now!
1 February 2010 22:17I LOVE it!
I ordered sample of Japan eye shadow but I think in my next I'll order full size :D It's an awesome colour.
Katherine, it's like you've got money leftover from January! Absolutely :D
1 February 2010 22:22GeekyEejit Haha, see, we're going to regret finding one another, my nerdy compatriot.
1 February 2010 22:22Muahaaha Cacau! Yeah, I want to get a netbook, but I keep spending all my money on makeup <.<
1 February 2010 22:22Simone, I'm in the same boat! I haven't posted a list of recommendations 'cause... I love them all! x_o And I need the rest! There's still products I don't own, but not for long <.<
1 February 2010 22:22Silhouette, Mwauaha! *Taunts*
1 February 2010 22:23Small Town Gal, it was a bit screwy last night 'cause of someone at their webhost end, I think. Down right now 'cause they're fixing something, so give it an hour or two.
1 February 2010 22:26Kate, sorry it took so long! There was rather a lot to swatch. The swatches on the site don't, but then, it's tough to take swatches which do. I always swatch over pixie epoxy 'cause it really glues all the sparklies to my hand, and I photograph under a daylight lightbulb, which helps to show the interference without changing the base colour like most artificial light.
1 February 2010 22:26Hey, if you know your money's going to be replenished...
Wow, thanks Nikki! I love it when you comment, I feel all honoured =D If you're not yet a Fyrinnae convert, you muuust check them out.
1 February 2010 22:26AxS they both have a strong colour-shift. Sorceress and faerie glamour are stunning, too. The only ones without a strong shift that I've seen so far are Wizard's Apprentice (which is a lovely sky blue as is) and Elemental Fire.
1 February 2010 22:26Caseybby, Haha, I do that! I make lists on Windows 7's sticky note feature of things I want... But I want everything :[ When you order, you MUST MUST MUST get some pixie epoxy. MUST you hear me? It's like essential to life.
1 February 2010 22:26Juliannelefay, hey! I like it when lurkers comment :3 Haha, woot! I hope you liked them. I have 4 each of my favourite GOSH brushes now, I just keep buying more... I'll have lip swatches up soon, hopefully! (Don't forget to buy pixie epoxy!)
1 February 2010 22:27Pfft, Lo. You loved them before I did :[
1 February 2010 22:27Sagu, when you don't have any money left for food or bills, y'can come stay with me and we'll have a giant pile of Fyrinnae to roll around and starve in! :D Yess, spread the pixie jizz love.
1 February 2010 22:27Caitlin, mwahaah! This is the best thing about beauty blogging, I think <_< I make all your bank managers luuurve me.
1 February 2010 22:27Suzy, do you have pixie epoxy? I just pack 'em on by dabbing with a 239-esque brush, and they show up =[ I'm mega-pale, though!
1 February 2010 22:28Jaimi, guess my motives ;D not to make you buy less! I was sure I had 50, but the little slippery jars tend to get lost in my maze of a desk... And they were 8x6 so that it fit on my mat!
1 February 2010 22:28Ciao, mwahaha :D I'll get to them as soon as I can. Adding Bounce and Whee! to the top of the list =P Bounce is a cooler, more neutral lavender, which is also more opaque but I could just think that because Whee! is pinker, and closer to my natural lip colour. I'll try to get a comparison up soonish, but Whee! is warmer, pinker and sheerer, and Bounce is more cool-toned lavender which is more opaque. If you're after a creamy opaque lilac lip colour, also consider Fanservice, 'cause it's very purple at first but then you blot it, becomes pinker.
1 February 2010 22:28Nonsense, Phyrra. I always find Fyrinnae easy to swatch, luckily. Sometimes I screw up colours, like Aromaleigh's Hi Fi set which I've tried to swatch 4 times and managed to screw up every time >_<
1 February 2010 22:28Jules, thanks! I tend to take a few shots whenever I swatch, and then pick whichever one is the clearest and best shows up the colours accurately. Hopefully soon I'll re-order the swatches so that I have one entire Fyrinnae swatch post with all of them, one for Aromaleigh etc, and another post leading to them. It's in the pipeline! I swatch over Pixie Epoxy, so make suuuuuuuure you buy that if you shop at Fyrinnae, because it's the most amazing eye product in the wurld. Whatever you regular primer is, it blows it out of the water. It's like... a torpeedo primer. o_o
1 February 2010 22:28RaeRae, yaaay! I looove the Alice collection. Faerie Glamour! Excellent! And Farseer turns that gorgeous grey-ish sky blue... All good choices, yes yes <3
1 February 2010 22:29Sakuradesu ISN'T IT AMAZING? I won't do make-up without it. It's like. Wow, how did I live before this stuff. Japan is stunning. You gotta get Parental Advisory in your next order, you'll freak out when you see how hot it is. Neo Universe is really nice, too, and Mephisto - although it doesn't look purple in the swatch, it's one with a plush kind of sheen, where it looks dark purple in the jar, then when you put it on, the bits in the middle go that kind of amber... I used it over parental advisory and it gave an amazing space-nebula kind of look!
1 February 2010 22:29Yeah!! I think the same! How could I live without that product! hehe
1 February 2010 22:34Oh yes! I also have to order the purple you recommended me! Predator is a very pretty color, but the texture if different from the other eye shadows I ordered from them, I find it a bit more difficult to apply.
I'll note those colors, so far I followed your previous post advice and the colors are amazing! Those and aromaleight are awesome! I never wanted to make up as much as I do now! I've never found before colours like those. From now on, I'll support these brands! they do such an amazing work! thanks for your reviews!!:)
Oh I can't wait for Amy's Sugarpill, I knew her for her clothing line and I've been waiting months for Sugarpill! it will be amazing!
Oh Sakura, they discontinued Predatory because the formula is hard to use. Try New Moon's Light and Nevermore - both purple mattes which are brighter and easier to use.
1 February 2010 22:38They pretty much discontinued it 'cause it's not great and they have those two mattes, so isn't necessary. I'm crazy for Parental Advisory, though!
And I knowwwww. I can't wait for Sugarpill. Amy needs to *cough*HURRYUPWOMANANDRELEASEIT*cough*
Ahhh I see, didn't know the reasons.
1 February 2010 22:46I wanted to look at those colours now, but site in down for mainteinance until tomorrow :(
I want to order more!! hehehe wow but I need a rest of orders cause I also changed my computer screen to a 26" one! and my mobile phone!
And yeah! it's Sugarpill comming so I'll spend more there!
haha yeah! as you said Amy needs to *cough*HURRYUPWOMANANDRELEASEIT*cough*
I check her tweets so often waiting for more news! well now she did a couple of days ago or so LAST MINUTE shoots! c'mon!!!! but I'm sure it will worth the wait!
:D
1 February 2010 22:52When I get a hang of this eyeshadow shenanigan.. I would like you to have the honour of choosing some Fyrinnae colours for me.
Just for fun. :P
(But I of course especially need some of the geeky named ones)
Ana, your plan about starving to death rolling in a huge pile of Fyrinnae sounds like win. :D And I just decided that I have to get Electro-Koi, so Fyrinnae will get their share of my poor money on Thursday. I'll also buy the silver shampoo you recommended in your Best of 2009 entry...
1 February 2010 23:04...which leads me to this: my purple hair has now evolved to purple hair #2! It's the same dark purple color, but with three wide purple-pink highlights. It's awesome, I have no other words for it. I'm having a little break from blogging at the moment, but when I get back to it, I'll make sure to post some pics of my new head and tell you about it.
Damn, another dozen for the wish list. Chlorophyll is both awesome and most bafflingly named.
2 February 2010 00:05I'm drooling.....
2 February 2010 00:06I'm already stalking the mailman for my most recent Fyrinnae haul which should be here maybe Weds? This just made me want it more.....LOVE the swatches......
Sorry, the other comment was just a double post. GRRR......
2 February 2010 00:08No need to apologise Ana. I know you've been really busy.
2 February 2010 00:12yeah, you do make me want to print out your swatches and use them as a shopping list. And Holy SH*ttt your collection of Lip Lustres!!! *mega-drool*
2 February 2010 01:20Will you make your next post a pic of how you STORE all this?
2 February 2010 01:44I'm actually waiting on them to make a semi-big haul from them right now. I may have to order more!
2 February 2010 01:50OMG, I love you so much for the lip lustre swatches! Some of them aren't quite what I expected, others are absolutely lust-worthy. ::drools::
2 February 2010 02:52Those eyeshadows are gorgeous, and give us some lip swatches of the lip lustres! I think my bank is crying AGAIN this month- but hey, it's my birthmonth so I should treat myself. Right?
2 February 2010 03:18WOW....!
2 February 2010 06:23<3 Looking at these makes me all warm and spendy... Your poor mitts must've been rough after this! I'm glad you sacrifice your hands for the greater good of being inspired to buy new beauties from Fyrinnae. I just love them. Btw, did you check out my giveaway yet?
2 February 2010 10:10BTW, have you tried Snowbunny out yet?
God, there goes my February bonus check. If it wasn't so awesome and colorful and sparkly I might be miffed.
2 February 2010 10:45Sea Otter looks so different in your swatch than on the site,I'm going to have to get that one and Farseer.
Hey Ana,
2 February 2010 13:08LOVE your blog, by the way. You and Grey got me out of the snares of LimeCrap and into the awesomeness of Fyrinnae and Aromaleigh!
Just got my first Fyrinnae order yesterday (!) and wanted to ask you... I got a mini of fanservice, and while the color is perfect, it wasn't really opaque or staying, I was having to reply it every 20 minutes (wihout even drinking) to make it stay! Is it just the color or did I get an iffy lustre?
Thanks times a gazillion for the swatches!
Windows 7 sticky notes are life.. seriously. I don't know what I did before them. haha.
2 February 2010 17:08I shall definitely get the Pixie Epoxy.. I've been wanting that for quite some time too!
I don't feel right unless I have at least two pending orders with them now...
2 February 2010 20:59AGH Damn you! I just got my first order from them, of coure i love everything and was already desperate for another order. Now i NEED to get everything you show i haven't already got!
3 February 2010 12:21I got a bunch of the lip lustres and they're just amazing, i don't have any of the colours you have though. I need money! D:
Ana, you ARE awful :D
3 February 2010 22:38Bye bye, money!
Goodness! What amazing swatches.
3 February 2010 22:46I got my first Fyrinnae order in the mail today! I was sooo freaking happy. So far I've only tried on the Lip Lustres, and I LOVE them. I'm wearing Lace Gloves right now.
The only one I didn't like on me was Acidic Cherry. It was darker than I expected, and darker lips don't look so good on me. D:
I want to order from them again so badly, but I'm broke and I want to order some aromaleigh... gah!
I can't wait to try the Pixie Epoxy though, because glittery and sparkley shadows NEVER stick on my eyelids and I'm hoping this will allow me to actually wear makeup to school.
Is Diabolic Masquerade really that close to black? I was under the impression that it was just a deep burgundy with a bright red shimmer.
4 February 2010 00:12Omg, though, thank you for posting this! It's completely sold me on getting full sizes of colors I already wanted, and sold me on trying others. :D
Sakura, for a second there I thought you'd changed your mobile phone to 26" xD Sweet monitor, though. My sister uses her 40" TV as her PC monitor, arrghsojealous.
4 February 2010 01:57I love the sound of those Lip Lustres, but like a lot of other people who have commented, I'm saving up so must control myself :P
4 February 2010 20:00Wow, I love the swatches. All the shades looks gorgeous and so pigmented! You make me want everything.
4 February 2010 20:26And I thought I had a lot of makeup. LOL but those Lip Lusters do sound and look delish. I'm a sucker for lippies.
8 February 2010 21:51BTW Glad you're back with us.
My god, this post is beautiful!
