Fyrinnae Summer 2015 Review
Today I’ve got swatches and my thoughts on the unofficial Fyrinnae Summer 2015 collection. I feel like Fyrinnae is one of the absolute best companies for teal lovers. Their teal shades never disappoint. They’ve added some pretty neutrals to their lineup, too. I’ve also got 2 other colors in here (that aren’t new), Titania’s Bottom and Nepenthe.
Fyrinnae Summer 2015 Review
All Fyrinnae products are, of course, cruelty free and vegan.
All eyeshadows swatched on Coastal Scents Step 1 primer.
Beyond Binary
Light, cool apricot shade topped with a subtle aqua shimmer. Versatile shade for a highlight or all-over wash. May work on some skintones as a cheekbone highlight also.
My Take
Light peachy beige shimmer with very light aqua sheen, more easily seen on my hand than in swatches. Awesome as a lid shade for making your eyes look bigger. I love the name of this shadow. You could potentially use this as a cheek highlighter too.
Caramel Layer Cake
This satin peachy tan shade is enhanced with light pink sparkle.
My Take
Beautiful light peach apricot shimmer. To me, this one looks more like an apricot in the jar. I can’t really see the pink sparkle on my skin but I could in an up close shot. I think this would be nice as a lid shade or a wash of color.
Titania’s Bottom
Rich, multi-dimensional gold metallic with orange tones and fine golden sparkle. This is a stunning lid shade or accent color.
Nepenthe
Warm bright plummy purple with pink tones metallic. This would make for an awesome purple metallic smoky eye.
Zanzibar
Vibrant deep turquoise topped with a greenish gold highlight and an overall metallic finish.
My Take
Bright turquoise blue metallic with golden green sheen and fine gold sparks. This shade is amazing. I love it. I would love to use this as a lid shade or as a lower lid shade.
Istanbul
A shimmering blend of deep blues and gold creates a multi-hued dark denim shade.
My Take
Reminds me of the ocean at midnight, lush deep blue with soft gold sheen from some angles. I want to try this wet as a liner.
Forest Dragon
Lush, multi-hued metallic green. May appear to have a gold highlight depending on application.
My Take
Rich warm metallic green with yellow undertones and golden sheen. This is such a stunner for green lovers. I can see it being a great focus lid shade or a cool liner shade.
Saharan Princess (blush)
Reminds me of the inside of a plum. A muted plum blush. I swatched it heavy on the left and softer on the right.
Row 1 – Beyond Binary – Caramel Layer Cake – Titania’s Bottom – Nepenthe
Row 2 – Istanbul – Zanzibar – Forest Dragon – Saharan Princess
I feel like I get a ton of product in the jars, especially the full sizes. They’re packed to the brim. I personally love the Fyrinnae packaging because you can easily see through the top of the lid to the shade color. The bottom of the jar has the shade name. I like the silver lids, though I’ve been buying Fyrinnae for so many years that I’ve got a mix of clear lids, black lids and silver lids for my full sizes.
As usual, Fyrinnae did not disappoint. The formula is great. I get all day wear on primer (and if you’re a fan of my blog, you’ll know eyeshadow just doesn’t last on my hooded lids without primer). The colors are beautiful and pigmented. The complex shades like Zanzibar, Forest Dragon and Istanbul are unique in my vast eyeshadow collection. Shades like Beyond Binary and Caramel Layer Cake are great staples. I actually find the blush Saharan Princess to be very pretty too.
If you’re wanting to add unique, well-formulated vegan eyeshadows to your collection, I definitely recommend checking out Fyrinnae. They have every color of the rainbow and then some, sure to please even your pickiest makeup aficionado.
What do you think of the new eyeshadows and blush from Fyrinnae?
How long do they usually keep shades around for?
great shades!
I think they’re all gorgeous!
Happy to hear it Deb!
I am not usually a green wearer but forest dragon looks amazing, I am tempted! Thanks for the swatches…Fyrinnae is a great brand, looking forward to my next purchase.
You’re welcome Rachel!
I’m in LOVE with the Forest Dragon shade! Such a gorgeous green. Thanks for the swatches. 🙂
You’re welcome Natalie! Forest Dragon is so gorgeous
I’d definitely wear Titania’s Bottom and Caramel Layer Cake!
They’re both such pretty neutrals!
These are beautiful – will look at Caramel Layer Cake and Saharan Princess for sure. I’ve only purchased from Fyrinnae once so my wish list has been growing for a while now!
Oh I bet Saharan Princess would be great on you!
That Beyond Binary and Forest Dragon… gorgeous. I MUST try them!!
I’m definitely a fan of Beyond Binary
Ok so I NEED all of these shades. Oh my goodness they are gorgeous and are screaming my name loudly. Simply beautiful!
I think you would rock them 🙂
Gorgeous! I have to try this brand.
Definitely Lily! They’re amazing.
So many beautiful colors! I still haven’t tried anything from Fyrinnae although I’m often on their site oohing and aahing over all the lovelies!
They never disappoint!
So pretty, and I love that some of the shades are metallic And glittery.
Me too! Their finish is so unique and gorgeous
Excellent swatches!! I love them all and I’m so glad you picked up Nepenthe – it’s one of my fave Fyrinnae colours – I can’t wait to see what you do with it!
I’ve been trying to figure out how to wear it. I’m stuck with the dilemma that to wear eyeshadow so it’s flattering for my eye shape, I should stick to mattes on the browbone / crease / hood, which leaves me for shimmer on the lid and lower lid. But I should wear lighter shades on the lid or at least the inner lid, so where do I put the brights? Lid or lower lid or outer half of lid?
These are absolutely goregeous! Nepenthe, Forest Dragon and Istanbul are my favorites. Best name: Titania’s Bottom. I know it’s referring to the character Bottom, but it still gave me a giggle.
It makes me smile too 🙂
It makes me smile too 🙂
Such beautiful and bold colors! I love Zanzibar but I don’t know if I could pull it off! Maybe I’ll have to experiment with more fun colors this summer! 🙂
Zanzibar is so gorgeous!
Love the name Beyond Binary and it looks beautiful and so brightening on your lids! Forest Dragon and Zanzibar are stunners. I love loose pigment shadows; I feel like you get real color payoff and more depth with them. I started getting into makeup crazy status on BareMinerals loose shadows. I’ve always wanted to try Fyrinnae! Thanks for your review, swatches and EOTD!
Agreed! I love loose eyeshadows
