The Story of Pixie Epoxy, and other news

Right, this is gonna be a fairly strange post because lately my fantasy fiction writing has started to spill into my reviews. Some of you may have noticed. I'm kind of having a blast with it. But anyway, earlier today I was thinking about the wonder that is Pixie Epoxy. Why? Well because I've gone weeks without it and it's like.. you know when they touch up the color in old movies? The Wizard of Oz, for example, and they peel back this dull looking clip of the movie to show the same clip in vibrant colors? Going without Pixie Epoxy, for me, is like that in reverse. It's still beautiful, but that mesmerizing sheen and complexity is just muted and seems to fade away. Like, you can't appreciate Glinda's soap bubble when it's all greyish.
Enough references, though.
I got my new lovely full sized Pixie Epoxy tube in the mail today (along with some sample sizes which will all be swatched and posted some time tonight I hope) and it's just fantastic. So I was thinking, why Pixie Epoxy? Here's what I've come up with...

Once upon a time, in a land not so far away known as Washington, there lived a King of the Pixies. But he was lonely. He had no wife and no heir. He was plagued daily by his worries. Would he live out his life without knowing love? Who would rule when he departed this world? One day he decided to clear his mind with a journey through the lush forests. As he flew along enjoying the scenery, a pint-sized wood nymph caught his eye. They gazed at eachother. It was love at first sight. The king announced their marriage soon after, and nuptial celebrations were planned. But soon another problem arose. While he could bestow upon his lovely bride the gift of Pixie Dust, it only lasted a few hours and the home of the Pixies lay in the ever-present clouds above Washington. Stricken by fear that one day he would not re-Dust her in time and she would fall from the sky, he went to his friends, the legendary magicians of Fyrinnae, for help. The wizards worked day and night concocting a magical glue that would enable the new queen to rule safely in her new realm without eventually succumbing to the dangers of gravity. This glue would keep the Pixie Dust from slowly wearing off.

Overjoyed with the wizards' creation, the king flew back to his bride and presented her with the gift. They were able to live and rule together among the clouds. Eventually they bore a son (a Nixie?) to continue their line, and they all lived happily ever after.

The End.

Thus, Pixie Epoxy came into being! Hope you enjoyed! Tell me what you think? XD

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 :)

Fyrinnae

I originally read about this brand on blogs that contained reviews on Evil Shades products. Like ES, many of these cosmetics are vegan. Yum! The website is here: http://www.fyrinnae.com/ and I have a question for those of you who have purchased Lip Lustres from this site. What are they like? I haven't found many reviews on them and I'm currently drooling over Bloodstained, but I'm afraid it might even be too dark. Anyone know? I wish I could find sample sizes of the gloss. Honestly, that's the only complaint I have with this brand so far. Does anyone know if they have lip lustre samples?
I ordered a selection of eyeshadows in mini and they look lovely in the pictures. As with ES, the names are great fun (Velociraptor, The Randy Ferret, and Damn Paladins, for example) and the colors are equally enticing. Can't wait to get my order, though it sounds like shipping is gonna be a little slow.
