    Hi,

    just wondering if anybody on this has ever purchased any cosmetics from www.fyrinnae.com before, i have heard such great things about them and seem some amazing swatches on online blogs and i am mad to get my hands on their eyeshadow samples but 9 times out of 10 when i check their website it's not working (further investigation leads me to believe that they do this when they get very busy), sometimes when i get on it i can fill a shopping cart, sometimes when i put things in my cart they disappear and the site won't let me register an account even though they definitely ship to Ireland! Has anybody on here ever actually successfully set up an account because i am baffled and if so, what's the trick? I hadn't even heard of fyrinnae until a few weeks ago and now i'm like a woman obsessed, i love mineral eyeshadows and at like $2 dollars a pop and free international shipping if you spend $40, it could be so amazing but instead that website is proving to be the ultimate obstacle! Any advice would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

    I've ordered loads of stuff from them. Their eyeshadows are the business, really unusual shades, got a few free samples and all that BUT...

    There's only 2 of them (I believe) creating, packaging, sending and running the website. I'd be very hard-pushed to buy from them now as you have to wait 3-4 weeks before they'll even think about sending your order. Their website hasn't been right in at least a year :mad:, so I wish you the best of luck ordering from them now. If you can handle the wait, and actually manage to order, you won't be disappointed! Just make sure to order yourself some Pixie Epoxy or the likes.

    If you're stuck for ideas for other companies, have a look here: http://www.specktra.net/f/265/mineral-makeup and here: http://www.phyrra.net/reviews (scroll down to brand reviews :) )

    thanks jenizzle, i'd absolutely love the opportunity to even be able to order but even when the website is up and running, it won't let me order, something about a security code being missing but i provide all the information they ask for and i don't see any security code box, i was just wondering if anybody else experienced same? I wouldn't even mind waiting 3-4 weeks for them because i absolutely adore mineral eyeshadows and they are so cheap, i would just love the opportunity to be able to order. I have 20 colours picked out for batch one, apparently you cannot order more than 20 things in any given order.

    What is this pixie epoxy that everybody talks about, is it like an eyelid primer or something? I had a peek at their website one of the times it was working, when i wasn't trying incessantly to even create an account, and i didn't come across it?

    I think they sold out of it a few times, so it was probably removed from the site when that happened. I never got the chance to order it myself, but from what I've read, it's an eyelid primer. As the shadows they have can be quite glittery (or, for example, are black but have purple flecks running through it), you really need something like that to make the glitter stick and show off the shadow as it was intended. I just use UDPP as I think the epoxy would crease like a mofo on my eyelids :rolleyes:

    I haven't ordered from them in about 18 months, but I never did have any hassle when I did. Maybe send them an email whenever the site is back up and see what the craic is? They were quite responsive any time I had to annoy them about stuff anyway :)
