Text of the page (random words):
d into the product line they will be a little higher priced so and while not exactly limited edition they may be included on a test basis if they sell well after the initial first few days rush then they will be kept and probably expanded new products which are poor sellers after a couple weeks are somewhat of a waste of space time and ingredients especially ones which have methods or colourants specific to them the bright semi mattes recently released sold fast at first then fell flat and are hardly moving at all after a short time so we will see if the new really neat shiny things are worth it pressed shadows are undergoing a slight base additive tweak just altering ratios in most this week so those won t be restocked for a while posted by fyrinnae cosmetics at 9 12 am tuesday may 27 2014 shipping and other details while we do know that a lot of people are uncomfortable with the phrasing and days listed for the time frame on our site it s done this way for a reason remember last week when there was a sudden shortage of the tiny jars so perhaps due to courier delays or supplier shortages we were to run out with numerous orders in the queue well then those customers will be waiting longer than our usual 3 7 business day time frame in which case if it was more than a reasonable amount of time everyone with delayed shipments would receive partial refunds for the wait it s happened before but not on a large scale hence why the phrasing has been please allow up to as in there s a chance it could be that long orders are sent within a few days most of the time it s anywhere from 1 to 10 days depending on the size of the purchase and how busy we are they re generally pulled in sequence but we also try and get the smallest ones or single item purchases sent as soon as possible during new releases or after major blogger reviews as the purchase volume increases greatly it does take a few days longer to ship most after our winter 2013 release some were at the two week mark which is too long for us but can t really be prevented this is why upcoming releases are rarely mentioned far ahead of time if at all it s chaotic all at once no orders are ever in the queue for even 20 days and very few hit 14 the last time that happened was as i recall about 4 years ago but it could happen i m at work daily from about 7 or 8am to at least midnight often well past 3am so that short window of of morning is when i m home to shower sleep and tend to cats house aside from a short midday break this probably sounds like a dramatic exaggeration but anyone who knows me knows that i don t do anything but work the others here are usually gone a few hours earlier but one or two may stay as late as they can when we re swamped everything is shipped first thing in the morning so i ll be in the studio nightly until the last parcel scheduled to ship is packaged up speaking of everything shipping in the morning either usps is scanning less or their systems are just borked constantly because there have been quite a few that just seem to vanish for a few days after leaving the area the tracking will show that the parcel left the local po but then nothing for several days they also aren t usually scanned as incoming at the local post office until afternoon or evening but we do take them there by 8 9am most days never later than 10am sometimes they don t scan the label at all then finally do at delivery and from things i buy i can see this is a delightful little issue nationwide by sudden requests the bright semi mattes are being reconsidered they re much in finish like automatic toaster but somewhat more silky and blendable in the meantime welcome our two newest shadows kraken and debonair kraken was a pain in the tentacles to photograph properly but at about arm s length or in low light the shimmer does have a bronze gold cast it just kept appearing green in pictures there may be a new lustre or two upcoming as well we hope all of you are having a great week so far posted by fyrinnae cosmetics at 3 29 pm saturday may 24 2014 several minor things which i pen a novella about you should see our tables right now there are several long steel tables the sort used in kitchen prep and one is used only for working on new shades product changes or any needed shade reformulation it s currently covered in little test plates numerous large bags and pails of colourants two microscopes and a mess of notes in my horrid handwriting i had a couple of really neat shades which worked great in two tests then once i mixed a larger amount and added the rest of the ingredients to check they went to mudville the satiny green highlight i had on one didn t play nice at all with the particle size of one of the main base colours so it morphed into an uninteresting rather mucky appearance layering 150µm sparkle onto a matte or blending into 25 50µm shimmer is no problem but 5µm gets drowned out by the larger particle shimmers so instead of an obvious highlight you end up with a blend of shades that can be fine sometimes but wasn t going to work with these hues on the other hand we have a lilac shade which turned out quite beautiful it just hasn t been named yet also i am now re thinking the satin mattes we had ready about three months back mattes just are not hot sellers and these albeit bright and easy to blend are rather basic shades we ll see there s a tangerine yellow which i know won t do well people should buy yellow shadows more often it looks really good on many people especially when in a look with vibrant greens or warm red pink royalty sure has been selling rather fast years ago seduce was rarely purchased but i m guessing people are getting more comfortable with purple blushes i did consider bringing back our red intrigue it was a real red more vibrant than spellbound and perhaps will in the future why it takes us so long to get the pressed shades re stocked for several years we ve maintained a rather unique at least i assume it is production process of eye shadow some are much more involved than others for instance due to particle size layering heat treatment and such a shade like because cats takes considerably longer from start to finish than space kitty housework pearls takes much longer than koala most can t be done in a very large volume at once we prepare the shades for being pressed with their loose counterpart then separate out what s needed for pressing usually about 500g or 1kg and finish each respectively the pressed shades need to be just the right consistancy before going into the machine and the same ratio of wet ingredients don t work well with each shade mephisto doesn t have a high amount of mica and mica is great for pressing because the microscopic platelets fit together almost like tiny puzzle pieces it does have some silica and other ingredients which have a rounder or more uniform particle shape so that one was slightly modified to work consistantly though still ends up a bit fragile the mixing and adjusting then the cleaning up parts between shades all adds up to a very time consuming process we can t very well manage more than two or three pressed shades per day and those are done when there isn t a very large pileup of other tasks always current purchases in the queue take precedence over all else so re mixing of needed colours and package filling is done before pressed re stock or tinkering with new things sample freebie amounts it s been asked and sometimes mentioned in blog posts regarding the size of the blush finishing powders highlighter and free samples it s varies the eye shadow minis we started calling them that when the size was changed from 1 4 to 1 3 tsp on the regular shades a few years ago plus if you get more than just a few uses out of something it s not really a sample are measured uniformly we have these little scoops which hold exactly 1 3 tsp and 1 4 tsp of powder but for the face products one generally uses more each time than with eye shadow so these are usually a tiny bit more than 1 3tsp the measure is rounded when we fill the jars the free samples are not really measured it s generally a little more than half the size of a mini or regular sample size of that product except when we include a trial size lip lustre or pixie epoxy free those are all the same volume since this is a holiday weekend and no shipments are outgoing monday that gives us a little extra time tomorrow so if the giant pile of things to get done is mostly finished by tonight a couple shades may get prepped to press tomorrow at any given time there are 200 350 orders in the queue we average 50 to 100 incoming each day but with every new release that amount doubles right away edited to add sorry about the little jars being out from the 21 22 the missing ones turned up fortunately posted by fyrinnae cosmetics at 2 58 pm monday april 1 2013 1960s retro collection and other notes good evening morning or afternoon be it so where you are you may have noticed out new collection went up on 3 30 i would have announced it here yesterday but the absolutely insane volume of sales this is a good thing but sometimes you people catch us off guard spring is usually a low sale time has kept us quite busy in studio and office if you have never used our loose shadows or haven t bought since before late january this year ours are not free flowing loose powder they have had various particle binders for the past few years and in january we greatly minimized the flyaway fallout and increased adhesion as detailed on a previous post here the greatest difference is with the most sparkly shadows such as dinosaur plushie and book of the dead and some of the pale shades like crimson ghost thank you for all your patronage and we hope your week is off to a good start posted by fyrinnae cosmetics at 8 36 pm no comments sunday march 10 2013 email address 50s retro collection good day at least i hope it is for you not too bad here thank you for asking it was brought to my attention a few days ago when a long time client asked about a couple emails her friend had written us as they went unanswered as it turns out they went unreceived they had been sent to order fyrinnae com which never has been a valid email address we don t use a catch all hey there giant 300mb folder of nonsensical spam and info and staff have not been valid emails in a very long time unfortunately paypal had info listed on our profile and it took me forever to get that off there for whatever reason regardless the only valid all purpose fyrinnae email except for individual ones we here all use for business contact purposes is store which is the one specified on the contact page which is not to say we don t miss an email on occasion if you don t receive a reply first check your spam folder hotmail and yahoo are terrible for this and please send another if possible from a different email address because a great many we reply to bounce as non existent by now you ve of course seen and likely bought some of our newest collection the 50s retro the shades were designed around the minimal colours used in the 1950s bold red lips subtly defined eyes but little eye shadow and most often in matte and satiny skintone hues late 50s showed more color options springing up and by the mid 60s cosmetics were by far more diverse and vibrant which is when our next collection is based i m unable to give an estimated time on that though as we have so much else going on though march and april pressed shadows which i am highly pissed off about and am actively searching and contacting other compact manufacturers will be back as soon as possible but most won t be up until the end of this month posted by fyrinnae cosmetics at 1 50 pm wednesday january 2 2013 jar sizes product amounts and such a tiny note from the chemist oddly we get frequent inquiries about the size differences in products most often the loose eye shadow the sizes and weights noted in the catalogue are correct though the weights are sometimes a little understated the weight of a mini jar of eye shadow is about half a gram usually a tiny bit more but the measurement is always the same one third 1 3 of a teaspoon or 1 4tsp for arcanes some may appear a smidgen more full than others when on their sides due to density of ingredients and or particle size which i ll get to on later in this post they re not blindly filled we have measures for filling the full size however are filled to the top packed down and topped off this is how it often seems the mini jars give about 1 3 or more of the size of a full jar the size of jars for minis these are most certainly not samples a sample doesn t customarily last you weeks to months they re small versions of the product is notably smaller than the full size the regular eye shadow jars a common size hold just about 5ml of liquid while the mini size holds 3ml below are comparison photos of the product and jars the weight for fyrinnae s loose eye shadow is listed on the store and labels as approximately 3 grams some are close to 2 8 and many are over 3 5g the us labeling regulations allow a very small variance in weight usually if it may vary between shades or styles of the same product for the minis we have it listed as 4 to 7gram that s not quite correct as the 1 3tsp of product weights a tiny bit more than that but understating is always a bit better policy you re still receiving the same amount even if by weight it may be 5g for cupcake frosting and 9g for dragon s wing still with me here cool as i m going to keep typing let s discuss why some weigh more in short some colourants pure dry powders in the form of dyes inorganic pigments micas synthetic fluorphlogopite and silicates etc are much heavier than others chromium oxide weights a lot more and is far more dense than standard cosmetic grade lake dyes so for example if a green eye shadow is based on chromium oxide for main colour and treated 10 25µm mica for shimmer and depth it may weigh twice as much as a similar colour shadow based on blue 1 yellow 5 titanium dioxide and 50 100µm sparkle mica make sense the product appears the same size and you get the same amount of product but the weight varies most of the time it s not noticeable now that probably explained why the same size jar from x company is marked as a different weight than the same size container from z company neither company is wrong but x uses a smaller particle size borosilicate 40 150µm for sparkle and a considerable amount of stearates and iron oxide in their base creating some rich opaque colours this makes the jar net weight 4 5 grams or whatever i m making this up as i type z contracts a manufacturer to produce a vivid product using dyes and treated mica with big sparkle 100 350µm in some of their shades these jars are the same size as x s but net weight of product is 2 grams consumers are not being cheated company is not lying but ingredients have varying weights this applies for all cosmetic products be they powder cre...
