Oh, no! Have you emailed them about it? Their customer service should be very friendly.

The effect and look of foiling should be similar to applying wet - but a foiling medium will have a thicker consistency, so shadows can be mixed into a drop of foiling medium to make a one-time use gel-like liner. You can also use foiling medium to apply a shadow all over the lid - this would be the same as applying wet with fix+ (and obviously it'll keep the shadow lasting longer than just using a brush wet with water).
It doesn't matter - you can experiment with glitter glue and foiling to see if the result is similar or different (a matter of experimentation and what you feel like wearing that day). My understanding is that a foiling medium will intensify the shade overall (namely the base shade) and can be used with matte shades; a foiling medium also has a more liquid consistency so it can be spread more easily (for example, if you want to use the shadow as a liner). A glitter glue dries to a more tacky/sticky finish so that you can put the shadow w/glitter onto it and it'll make the glitter stand out (shadows have to be patted on; the tackiness makes it significantly more difficult to blend the shadows). Glitter glue is especially important with duochrome shades (for example, Aromaleigh's Neurodivergent which I posted above), since the color shift is a result of a differently colored glitter in the shadow. For a duochrome, if you just want to wear the base shade then a primer might suffice. But if you want the color-shift, then you should use glitter glue.
I ordered from Fyrinnae mostly to try the lippies, but oh my goodness I am loving the shadows that came yesterday. I will be going back to look at colors and placing another order as soon as I get a chance.Went on a bit of an indie shopping bender today.
Haus of Gloi haul with one perfume oil, three pumpkin butters, and four scrubs (two bubbling and two sugar)
Rainbow Honey haul plus free LE and mystery bag
Plus sample orders from Impulse (I know it was the general consensus that the clamshells are difficult to work with but I figure melty 110 degree days in AZ are the perfect time to use them then) and Fyrinnae.
So basically, I'm just going to take the spending down a notch for a minute while I wait for the Little Sparrow and Hello Waffle stores to come back and wait patiently for all my pretties to come to me so I can try them out. My GDE order from Wednesday should be here on Monday!
I did the same thing with Fyrinnae. I literally only got lip stuff and then I also got Pixie Epoxy to try. I got lip lustre minis in Dragon's Blood, Meloncholy, Less Than Three, Sexy Nerd, Burrowing Owl, Chickadee, Saloon Girl, Romantique, and Nemesis. Does Fyrinnae throw in samples? I kind of wish I'd tried some of their shadow now. The Arcane Magic ones look interesting! I want to see them in person. But I figure I'll try everything I got and then go back to get full sizes of my favorites, so then I'll pick up eye samples.

I need to start an actual list. Right now I keep just filling up carts & keeping the tabs open, but I should really just sit down and make a list of companies and things that I want.

Haha no worries. I just ordered it today but I saw a post in here earlier this month (which stopped me from being deterred by the super long posted TAT) saying that they ordered on a Saturday and it shipped out by Monday... I hope mine's that fast! I'm so excited to get everything. I will definitely post swatches when I get them! Some of the lip lustres I picked I couldn't really find reviews of on blogs, so I figured what the heck, might as well be the guinea pig.
For some sites, I have carts, others I use their actual wishlist, and on others, I just have a list on my mac stickies. Definitely going to compile a list for my birthday and then have that carry over with plenty of new stuff I'm sure by Christmas.I need to start an actual list. Right now I keep just filling up carts & keeping the tabs open, but I should really just sit down and make a list of companies and things that I want.
...and then just hand that out to all my friends and family come Christmastime!
Yay! Hope I get one. I'm almost more excited to see any samples I might get in my orders haha.
This is awesome! Thanks for posting! I will definitely have to get that widget. I've been using Package Tracker which is a pretty decent site, but it doesn't notify me of anything!
