Hey everyone, and welcome to the new Bellibone Beauty! I made the long overdue switch over to WordPress and I am lovin’ it. Today was an awesome mail day, and I wanted to share what I got from Fyrinnae and Limnit Lipsticks. Before I start with my swatches and first impressions, I want to tell you a little bit about both companies. I’m expanding the subject matter of my blog and want to make my blog more informative and easier to understand for those who come here and aren’t familiar with indie makeup.

Fyrinnae and Limnit are established indie companies that create cruelty-free and vegan cosmetics. Fyrinnae is known for their beautiful color-shifting eyeshadows, killer lip products, and their coveted glitter eyeshadow adhesive Pixie Epoxy. Limnit only offers lip products, and the formula is creamy and ultra opaque. Their collection ranges from everyday pinks to daring colors like green and yellow. I’ve done business with both companies several times and have never had a single issue. Onto my swatches and first impressions!

All products purchased in full by myself, and all opinions are my own. Swatches from lipstick jars/samples applied with my finger, as lip brushes are my sworn enemy.

Here are my goodies today! I ordered two jars from Limnit, and a lipstick from Fyrinnae. I also received a free sample of Fyrinnae’s Drawn This Way lipstick, which was an awesome extra!

As Fyrinnae just recently launched their lipstick collection, I wanted to include some close-up shots of Witchcraft. The tube is a glossy black with silver interior, and feels pretty sturdy. It closes tight and twists smoothly. I forgot to take a picture of the label sticker on the bottom of the tube, but it’s a nice silver label with company name, lipstick name, and product size. It also features Fyrinnae’s new logo, which I prefer vastly over the old one.

Fyrinnae Witchcraft ($11.50): This is a sister shade to Fyrinnae’s popular liquid lipstick Wizardry. I say sister shade because they’re similar, but there are some distinct differences. Witchcraft is more mauve-y brown at the base, and the turquoise shift is far more subtle. This formula is more stiff than I normally like and has a slight tendency to drag, but overall it doesn’t feel like it will be drying on the lips. Because it’s on the stiffer side, this lipstick will likely be longer lasting and more smudge resistant than the others in my collection. It’s also worth noting that Witchcraft is the only lipstick from Fyrinnae priced at $11.50, and all others are $10. This is likely due to the color shifting pigments used.

Fyrinnae Drawn This Way ($1.50): Fyrinnae describes this as a “vibrant rich red”, but as this was applied with my finger and the formula is stiff, I wasn’t able to achieve the red I was expecting. I’m sure that if I had this in a full size, the color would build up properly.

Limnit Freestyle ($4.60): I absolutely adore Limnit’s formula, because it’s more than easy to apply to full opacity, even with my finger. It’s creamy, but not too creamy. It is, however, prone to smudging, so exercise caution when drinking or eating. This is a vibrant aqua that doesn’t quit. I’m wearing it to work tomorrow!

Limnit Abracadabra ($4.60): My only complaint with this lipstick is that I keep second guessing the spelling as I type. This is a grape soda purple, and it’s a touch less opaque than Freestyle, but barely noticeable. It builds up nicely to Limnit’s signature semi-matte finish.

That wraps up my first post on the new Bellibone Beauty! I’m excited to blog here from now on, and I hope you like what I’ve done with the place. 🙂
