FunnyFace's Dare To Wear Charity Challenge, For Japan!

This is an excellent cause, so I couldn't pass it up. It's from the wonderful FunnyFace Beauty Blog, and you can find the link right here! Unfortunately, I don't know all that much about Japan. I spent a little while racking my brain for something clever and then realized that the top thing I know and love about Japan is their food! So here's my Japan post. It's wonky and funny and I'm not really a pro so I look goofy, but here's a pretty little shrimp roll in honor of Japan!
I used Hi Fi Cosmetics' Sugar for the white, and the rest of the look is primarily The Chequered Lily's "Sushi Ginger" which I thought was fairly fitting ^.^
And here's how it looked:

 Hehehe, so that's my post! Comments encouraged. I won't take it personally if you have a bit of a giggle :)

GotW - 450 Enchanting

Here is Sunday's Geek of the Week look, "450 Enchanting"! You'll probably notice it's made up of colors similar to the Baby Vampragon look... this won't be the case for most of the GotWs though, don't worry.
In WoW, the enchants that are put on weapons usually make them glow, glimmer, or something similar. Also, you can disenchant, and recieve many pastel-colored dusts. Here's kind of a tribute to both those, with the dusts as the shadows and the enchants as the liner...

Stuff being enchanted:

I used:
1. Sugar - Hi Fi Cosmetics
2. Futuristic Glamrock - Fyrinnae
3. a. Spun Sugar - Archetype
3. b. Pixie Poop - Archetype
4. Physicican's Formula 2-in-1 liner Ultra Black under Real Wild Child - Hi Fi Cosmetics
5. Sex, Drugs & Rock'n'Roll - Hi Fi Cosmetics
6. Futuristic Glamrock - Fyrinnae
7. Golden Fair matte base - Everyday Minerals

I wish I'd managed to capture the glitter better....

Oceanwater EOTD

This is the first EOTD I've done in a while... sorry, but I was really reluctant to do any looks or swatches without my holy grail Pixie Epoxy. Now it's here, so I'm taking full advantage. This is a look I did today (mind you, I'd been wearing it for several hours before I took pictures... and look how fresh it still looks! Thank you, Fyrinnae!) using two of the new shadows I got. I'm calling this EOTD Oceanwater cause of the seagreen-ness. It's not intentionally a themed look, but I'm throwing it into the Water Trilogy themes anyway. Here's what I used:
1. Sugar - Hi Fi Cosmetics
2. Eternal Innocence - Fyrinnae
3. Electric Stardust - Fyrinnae
4. Physician's Formula 2-in-1 liner in Ultra Black
5. Dragon's Wing - Fyrinnae
6. NYC Black liner
7. Golden Fair matte base - Everyday Minerals

That's all for now. Tell me what you think and thanks for reading!

As to that weird squawky noise I just made...

Hehe I'm glad no one heard that. I have to apologize for being all un-posty recently. I'm so sorry! Things have been CRAZY around here! I think I'm back now though.
So, back to the title. I can't believe I haven't posted about this already, but I placed more orders with Fyrinnae! I ran out of Pixie Epoxy last week (imagine that!) and I've been dying without it. If you've never noticed the difference in your shadows since you bought your first Pixie Epoxy let me tell you... it looks like I mixed my shadows with dust before I applied them. The foiled-look-without-foiling is gone, my friends. But as I said I ordered more. Salvation is on its way! Now I placed my order earlier this week. Fyrinnae's TAT is currently 26-28 business days. So I was all prepared to settle in for a longish wait and just deal with the lackluster eyeshadow payoff. BUT! Have I mentioned the guys at Fyrinnae are not only wizards who recieve the dragonscales that go into their eyeshadows straight off the organic vine of the tofu-dragon (no real dragons though cause after all they ARE vegan, so no real dragonscales) but they are also masters of QUICK SHIPPING!? Well, they are. I got an email today saying my order had already shipped. Thank you Fyrinnae, you've done it again! I was so happy I actually did make some weird bird sounds... so if some of you are still confused by the title of this post... ^.^
So that's my raving for the day over with, but I had to put that out there! Fyrinnae is most definitely my top favorite cosmetics company of all time.
I'll have the swatches and stuff up as soon as I recieve my incoming orders. Also, my Hi Fi order (well, one of them anyway) arrived, as did six sample shadows from My Pretty Zombie (and they're all stunning) so those review/swatches should be up within the week. I also placed an order with Glamour Doll Eyes today. Not sure when that will get here. That pretty much sums up all the stuff I've gotten and will be getting so far.
I also got that Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum in Ultra Black last time I was in CVS. So at some point in time I'll post a review on that... but I'm gonna wait and see if it works for now. It's a nice liner pen so far!

Enough of my babbling though. Comment! And have a great week :)

Squeeeee!

This is gonna be my updates post I think. I'm currently waiting on 3 cosmetics orders. Fyrinnae's TAT was 16-20 days last time I checked, and I didn't order too long ago... but I just got an email that it shipped!!! Yay! That's 19 shadows winging their lovely way toward me ^.^ and I'm super excited to try out the lip lustres.
I only ordered from Hi Fi a few days ago and I'm not sure what the TAT is for that, but I think the Fyrinnae order will keep me more than occupied til it arrives. I'm mainly excited about the uber-glitter factor of these shadows.
Aaaand then there's Archetype. Sigh. Today was another of those days where I gleefully sprinted to the mailbox, only to find a bunch of catalogs and a severe deficit of bubble mailers. I said in a previous post that I'd leave it a couple days before attempting to contact Holly again in the hope that the "Not Available" status of my supposedly shipped package was simply due to the holidays.
But it's been a couple days. So I called. To my surprise, Holly actually answered the phone. The whole conversation experience was bittersweet. She was super-friendly, but she said that my package could be in the batch whose shipping tags had been prepared... but were still un-shipped. So they've been un-shipped for ten days now. She said she'd call me back after she checked, but I'm not so sure if I should expect a response soon. I guess we'll see. Those are my updates so far. They seem to have started out all peppy and gone downhill a bit. Sorry about that!
Two more things before I go... One, I've got a Pure Luxe review on the way, and I know this is a small blog with no real pressure to get things posted but I have to apologize. I thought that I'd posted a review for Evil Shades a while back, but when I went to check there was nothing. So I'll post that soon, but I'm sorry it wasn't already there, since I've had those shadows/lippies for a while.
And two, Fyrinnae's website now says "Fyrinnae is closed until further notice" up at the top of the home page. Anyone know what's up with that? I haven't heard anything. Thanks all!
