Vegan Cosmetics Review: Fyrinnae

Fyrinnae has a very loyal following in the indie makeup community. They are known for unique colors and formula that I had to check it out for myself. They have a huge range of eyeshadow in so many gorgeous colors. It was very hard to choose! 


I decided on L to R: Mauve-o-Matic, Bonfire Spirits, Fire Opal. And I got a free shade in Tango! Lucky me!



Top to bottom: Mauve-o-Matic, Bonfire Spirits, Fire Opal, Tango. Super gorgeous colors in a creamy formula which was so different from other companies I've tried. They are not considered a mineral makeup company and use other ingredients, but most importantly, they are 100% vegan.

The best photos I could get with light coming in the bathroom window. These are all swatched over elf glitter glue primer.

Zankou and Tacomiendo!

We took Hank to Zankou on Saturday for some falafel!

Hank ate his plush ladybug.


Sunday, my husband and I had a lunch date at Tacomiendo. Their salsa bar w
is awesome.

I got the huge veggie burrito (no cheese no sour cream). I poured salsa all over it.

Insides: rice, beans, grilled vegetables, guacamole and lettuce.


Hank got a new Jumperoo.

My homemade artichoke and tomato salad.

On top of French baguette with slices of Daiya cheese.

Crisp Chardonnay to wash it down!

Slime Green Eyeshadow?

Yes please! I ordered this from Apocalyptic Beauty who I reviewed a few weeks ago. Vogon Poetry is described as a metallic slime green! I had to get it because I have nothing like it in my collection. Also included was a sample of Planet Queen (song by T. Rex!)


Vogon Poetry is vibrant! Can't wait to try this in a look! 

Planet Queen is pretty too! Love this cosmetics company because they are 100% vegan and cruelty free!


Banana cake.

I love it when bananas go ripe so I can make this moist and delicious cake.

Edit: Beverlee asked for the recipe. Can't find it online anymore so I took a pic of my recipe book.

A hot meal!

I haven't had a hot meal like this in so long. We've got Gardein turkey cutlet, mash and steamed broccoli.

Found this at my local supermarket! I loved Nando's because they had vegan options. There are locations all over the UK. and I had visited the location in Liverpool. The peri peri sauce was spicy and good!

Hank is now 4 months and at his last well baby visit on Monday, we learned that he is very healthy and weighs 18 lbs and measures 27"!

Brija Cosmetics 4th Birthday Sale.

My very conservative order when the Brija birthday sale came. I told myself to pick only three colors that I've had on my top 3 wish list. They are LeviOsa, Always The Tone of Surprise and Tale As Old As Time. 
LeviOsa is a beautiful copper burgundy that is to die for! Always The Tone of Surprise is a matte chestnut brown and Tale As Old As Time is a light brown matte.

Also got a free gift with purchase which is a beautiful taupe with pink duochrome.

Shiro on Amazon!

Last week I was shopping for stuff (baby formula) on Amazon and these Shiro Cosmetics fell into my shopping cart! They are an Amazon merchant and most of their eyeshadow colors are available there. I couldn't help myself! They arrived very quick to my doorstep, about 3-4 days or so.

Top to bottom: He Loves His Hammer, Darling Dearest Dead, Smashing Pots, On Love: Eros. The last two are blowing my mind! The top two were free samples.


Can you believe On Love: Eros? It's unbelievable. Blackened brick red with sangria sparkle.
