I feel like I’m constantly apologizing to you guys. Does anybody even read my blog anymore? If you’re there, PLEASE comment? I’m trying to make sure I’ve done everything to pull my followers over, but I feel like I’ve lost most of you. =/ I am now working on getting back-logged posts out of the way. Some of them are going to be out of order though. The weather has been so crappy lately that I just couldn’t get any good swatches. I did however, just buy some daylight lightbulbs, per the suggestion of Ana (Lipstick & Lightsabers – awesome girl and awesome blog).  They seem to really help, so I can get to finishing all these swatches I owe you guys!!  Anyways, here’s the look.  Of course, clicking on the photo makes it bigger :)

I’m sorry, posting hit a lull over the weekend.  My sleep schedule is all messed up right now, and I’ve been working 5 days straight.  Normally, that’d be fine.  However, my lack of sleep is turning me into a very un-sexy zombie.  Also, I must say that I don’t feel like I talk to you guys enough.  I always seem to be in a rush, and I let that show through my lack of words (or interesting things to say.)  I promise to try to get better with that!!

Now, about these Arcane Magics.  These are going to have to go into installments all of their own.  I’m doing this so that I can try to show you their color-morphing abilities. (For those of you unfamiliar with Fyrinnae’s Arcane Magic eyeshadows, these are amazing!  This is not your regular duochrome eyeshadow.  These eyeshadows actually change colors depending on the lighting and how close you are to it.  Some of these are very subtle, while some of these are in yo face BAM.)  As some of you already know, these color changes are extremely hard to catch on camera, no matter how many times you take a picture of it.  Honestly, I don’t think the level of difficulty would decrease even if you had someone else take the pictures for you.  They’re just that elusive.  That being said, enjoy these posts!

Okay okay, so this isn’t a full out crazy Halloween look, but the colors are in the spirit.  Unfortunately I couldn’t go too crazy, since people at my job might think I was literally crazy.  *Sigh* The perils of having a shitty job.  Moving on!

Today we have silvers.  Ok well technically, Lights of Tokyo and Faerie Realm are lilac-y, but on my skin tone they look pretty silver.  Enjoy :)

Returning you to the regularly scheduled program, I bring you the next installment of Fyrinnae swatches.  You know, I’ve always considered Lust Bunnies to be a bronze-y color.  Looking at it on my arm though, its actually quite orange.  Sake & Sashimi is very unique, and I love love Sidhe, and I have even made a frakenpolish from it.  (Side note, does anyone know how to keep powders from sinking to the bottom of bottles?  I know you’re not supposed to shake your polishes before you use them, but how else can you get the powders loosened up?)
