Revlon Matte Suede Emerald City

Oh man... I'm so tired. I can not wake up today. I have to post something where I don't have to write much because I know I wouldn't make any sense otherwise! And I completely skipped posting yesterday... Not enough coffee in the world. Better post the polish before I start typing gibberish....


Revlon Matte Suede in Emerald City. Nothing very matte or particularly suede about this. It's a nice color, a blue toned green shimmer, but I don't care for the finish. If it didn't say it was matte on the bottle, you probably wouldn't even know it was matte finish. It's one of the shiniest mattes I've ever seen. Takes a long time to dry, too.

Looks pretty nice with topcoat, though. Brings out a faded, dusty look to the green.


If I can get up the energy soon I have those awesome new Nicoles I wanted to post, plus the new Winter Nubar collection showed up last night and I have a whole lot of other fun colors that I need to be coherent to post.... And, by the way, Red Bull does not give you wings, it gives you heartburn.

Vera Wang Glam Princess

I feel like reviewing random beauty products from my stash. I'll start out with this one since it's going back to the store this week!


I really like the original Vera Wang Princess. The name cracks me up, I always read it as "Vera, Wang Princess." I know the bottle is super girly-girly and so is the name, but it smells really good on me. So, thinking because I liked the original so much I'd like the others, I purchased Rock Princess and Glam Princess. Neither are anything like the original, but right now I'm going to focus on Glam Princess.

Just from reading the notes I knew I had to have this. The list of notes? Guava, Pear, Honey, Vanilla Orchid, Marshmallow Accord, Cedarwood. I'm not much of a fan of fruity scents, but the vanilla orchid, marshmallow and cedarwood are right up my alley. I love gourmand and woodsy scents, so a scent combining vanilla and cedar seemed perfect for me.

When it arrived I could smell a perfume smell coming from the box before I even opened it. I'm wondering if the set I ordered was a return because it seemed used. The bottle wasn't full to the top like I'm used to and the lotion didn't have a safety seal and has some lotion around the inner cap as if it had been squeezed. Hm.

The bottle is cute in a ridiculously tacky way:

It's a clear glass heart with gold metallic spray in a gradient effect and it's printed with pink scribbly stars. The top is a gold toned with no true cap- instead it has a removable crown and rhinestone-studded ring that can both be worn as jewelry if desired.

Despite the fact that it looks like it was designed by a lovesick 13-year-old, it's still cute... Probably because it does look like it was designed by a lovesick 13-year-old. Girly, cheesy, tacky but still a little bit glam.

I've worn the scent a few times now and had the same experience each time.

The minute I apply it I get a sweet fruity-floral scent- I don't smell pear but perhaps I do smell guava. It's not a rich, true guava scent, it's more of a thig, high-pitched imitation of guava. The scent is light, slightly crisp but not in a fresh-crisp way, more of an apple-fruity crisp way. It's not a strong scent at all, it is very weak and I can't smell it unless I have my wrist to my nose.

The best way I can describe this scent is generic. It doesn't really smell of anything specific. What it really smells like to me is that generic perfume smell you would encounter while walking through the perfume section at a department store while all the sample ladies are trying to spray you. It smells indistinguishable from the sea of mass-produced fruity-floral celebrity fragrances that I'm constantly bombarded with in the perfume department.

And, actually, it reminds me of a very, very watered down version of Britney Spears Fantasy, which I actually liked (shut up!). I am a sucker for 'cupcake accord'.

After wearing the scent for about an hour, it completely disappears. For a minute or two, with my wrist directly to my nose and if I sniff really hard, I can sorta smell something like marshmallow, but only fleetingly. It doesn't evolve much except for the sharp fruitiness of it that dies down eventually. And then, suddenly, poof! Gone. No scent.

I never smelled any vanilla orchid, no cedarwood, no marshmallow. Well, maybe a little marshmallow, but just barely. I can tell that there's something vanilla-esque somewhere in there but it's weak and thin and barely detectable.

What I had expected was a woody vanilla and cedar with some fruity top notes but all I got was a nondescript, weak, disappearing generic hairspray scent.

That's really the only word that comes to mind when trying to describe this. Generic, generic, generic. Not at all glam. Vera, I am disappoint.

So, I'm going to do something I rarely do. I'm going to return this. It is weak and fades away completely within an hour, it doesn't even smell like a real fragrance and on top of that, I think my set was already used when I received it. Someone else must have had the same experience.

The details of the set (from Sephora.com):

Glam Princess Gift Set ($90 Value)

This fun, flirtatious addition to the Princess line is for the boldly brilliant girl who is ready to celebrate and rule the world in the most glamorous way. She introduces herself with guava and juicy pear, reveals her beautiful heart with liquid honey and vanilla orchid, and offers sweet depth with marshmallow accord and cedarwood.

This set contains:
- 1.7 oz Eau de Toilette Spray
- 5.0 oz Satiny Body Lotion
- Gold Pouch (6 x 4.5")

Notes:
Guava, Pear, Honey, Vanilla Orchid, Marshmallow Accord, Cedarwood.
Style:
Feminine. Vibrant. Charming.

I may as well describe the body lotion while I'm in a reviewing mood.

It's a thin, light textured lotion that absorbs very quickly and leaves behind a trace of fine gold shimmer. It is scented with the Glam Princess fragrance and oddly enough, seems stronger than the perfume itself! It does not seem the least bit hydrating or moisturizing, but it does leave my skin smooth. I think it may be more for cosmetic purposes than actual moisturization. Layering the perfume with the lotion marginally increases wear time, but it still disappears after an hour or two.

Lesson learned. Just because I liked the first in a series doesn't mean I'll like the sequels.

My experience with Incoco Dry Nail Appliques

This review has been a long time in the making. Last year, Incoco (which stands for Innovative Cosmetic Concepts) sent me a few sets of their dry nail polish strips, aka the Incoco Dry Nail Applique, but the experience turned out to be sort of a disaster. I couldn't get the hang of applying them and on top of that the colors they sent me were so horribly ugly that I just couldn't review them.

They contacted me again a couple months ago asking if I'd want to try them again and I told them I was only interested if they had different colors. This time I actually loved the colors so it allowed me to keep the product on long enough to do a thorough evaluation. So now I'll share my experience!

And just for kicks and giggles, here were my first attempts from last year:

This was my first try with the color Juicy Peach. How did this get named Juicy Peach? It could have been named Frosty Granny. I totally failed in applying this. See how it's all wrinkled and bunched up, and also how it doesn't align nicely at the cuticle? These definitely have a learning curve.

This was my second try with Juicy Peach. Still some wrinkles but I was starting to get the hang of applying. Note that you can see every ridge and imperfection in my nail.


This was Lolita, one color I would actually wear, but I royally botched this one too. I somehow tore them, wrinkled them and they didn't cover my nail evenly.

But I did much better this time!


Plum Quartz. This shade is a really beautiful soft purple-pink glitter with a little bit of what looks like holo glitter thrown in. I thought it was going to be very sheer but once it was on my nail, the coverage was great, I had no visible nail line. You can click the image to enlarge and view the detail. Not a *perfect* application, but much better than I had tried before.

You don't have to wear topcoat with these as they are quite shiny on their own, but I was curious so I did one hand with topcoat:


This is Plum Quartz with one coat of Barielle Ultra Speed Dry Manicure Extender. I want you to note something here also. Enlarge the image and look at the index finger nail. I messed up my application a little and tried to layer another piece of a strip on top to cover it up. I don't recommend this because it ends up looking really obvious and it also tries to peel off the entire time you're wearing it. It does add depth to the color, so if you're really in the mood to splurge you might be able to layer two whole strips on top of each other. Otherwise, layering pieces is not a good strategy.

I wanted to give these a full week wear test but I only made it to four days. I would have liked to leave it on longer but some Fall polish collection arrived (I think it may have been Misa) and I really, really wanted to swatch it!

Here's how both hands looked on day four:

Here's the hand without topcoat. No chipping and very little tipwear. Still looks shiny and freshly applied for the most part.


Here's the hand with topcoat. No chipping and just a little tipwear. However, the spots where I layered strips are peeling.

I'm rather impressed with the wear time on these. If I had to wear the same polish, God forbid, for a week or more, I'd definitely be using these.

If you're still unclear on what this Incoco thing actually is, I can explain.

Incoco Dry Nail Appliques are basically just thin strips of nail polish. They're not wet- they're dry. They're actually a whole lot like stickers, except they are really stretchy and smell faintly of nail polish.


This is what they look like in the package. They are sealed in an air-tight foil packet to prevent the strips from drying out. The full Incoco kit comes with special metal tape to re-seal the package in case you have some strips left over. It's funny, I didn't know it was sealing tape, I thought it was for nail art or something, I couldn't figure it out until I read the contents list. It is important to keep the strips completely sealed because they will dry out and not stick to the nail anymore.

To apply:

It is recommended by the manufacturer to buff the nail smooth before application. I would have to agree with this as these appliques are VERY unforgiving of ridges and flaws. They are sort of a magnifying glass for ridges. I am not fond of buffing my nails frequently (it weakens them) so I skipped this step.

First, you separate the nail-shaped tabs and pick which one matches your nail the closest. You remove the protective backing (it peels off easily) and align the correct curved end of the Incoco applique with the cuticle.

You want to apply this on a bare nail, but I suppose a coat of ridge filler may not hurt. It may affect the wear time, though. Anyway, once you have the cuticle end perfectly aligned and straight, you smooth a bit of it it down onto the nail with a little pressure- and this is the tricky part I had trouble with at first- gently stretch the applique from the free edge to fit over the nail, smooth the rest of the applique down with your finger and what you'll be left with is a little excess polish hanging over the free edge of the nail. You can fold it down and either scrape it off with the edge of your nail or file it off, either will work. And then you're done! No drying time.

I find that I can actually do two nails with one applique if I'm careful. If you have very long nails you'll likely only be able to do one nail per applique. The package comes with two full strips of eight appliques each. They have sizes from wide to skinny and each applique has two ends to help you match the curve of your cuticle- one straighter edge and one with more of a steep curve.

The kit also comes with a special polish remover pad that's supposed to remove all ten appliques:


It's a felt rectangle soaked with what feels like a non-acetone polish remover formula. It says it will remove polish from all ten nails, but it really doesn't. I had to go back over with a cotton ball and remover to get all the Incoco polish off. You don't need this special cloth for removal, though, any polish remover will do.

After testing out this product a few times, I've come up with a list of pros and cons:

PRO:

• Long wear time- no chipping
• No need for basecoat or topcoat
• No staining
  
• Really smooth glitter shades
• Since it's not a liquid you can travel with it easily
• Little to no smell when applying
• No drying time
• Portable/non-breakable
• Sold at Walgreens (small selection) or online (full range)
• Can be removed easily at home with zero damage to the nail
  

CON:

• Application is tricky at first and you may waste some strips learning
• Nails feel sort of rubbery or tacky
  
• Glitter shades have rough edges
• Price- one set of strips (one manicure) for $8- slightly less than a full bottle of OPI nail polish (30-40 manicures). These are too expensive for me to use regularly.
• May not match or fit your nail shape perfectly leaving bare edges or excess around edges
• Not much of a selection in the color range
• Full color range not carried locally
• Thin strips show every bump, ridge and flaw in the nail
  

Overall, I think this product is really cool and I definitely would use it again. However, I feel that the price is too high for only one manicure per package (or two if you have shorter nails and the strips don't dry out). For special occasions or vacations where you don't want your polish to chip for a week, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these. You can pack them in your carry-on if you're flying since they're not liquid.

One feature I really liked about these was the smoothness of the glitter. It was not rough or gritty at all, it was perfectly smooth. I really, really liked the glitter shade I tried (Plum Quartz) and I'm looking forward to trying another one of the glitters they sent me. They're opaque and sparkly and not difficult to remove, either. I think the glitters are their best product.

If you want to view the whole range of colors, their online shop is here. For some reason I don't see the Plum Quartz that I used listed there. And now that I'm looking at it... it looks like they discontinued a lot of shades that I saw before. Bummer.

I have several other shades of these including french manicure kits. Would you be interested in seeing more of the colors or seeing more reviews of these? I'm curious about the french manicure kits (one has glitter tips!) so I'll likely do a review of that at some point. Let me know what you think.

Barielle Style in Argyle Collection Fall 2010

I've been wavering on posting these for a couple weeks... Interesting collection....



Aura Angora. My absolute favorite of the collection. I am a fan of mustard shades and this is a mustard shade if I ever saw one. It's a gold color- yellow and brown- creme finish.



Cashmere or Loose Me. I don't even know what to say about the color because I can't get past the name. I don't get it... The only thing I can get out of it is "Catch Me Or Lose Me"? And in that case, if it is actually 'catch me or lose me', did they really spell it wrong on the label? I sure hope that's not the case... Maybe it's just an even more elaborate and horrible pun- because cashmere sweaters are often loose? This is one of those rare cases where a really awful name will actually make me dislike the polish (which is not actually a bad color, it's warm milk chocolate brown with red pearl).


Cowl Of The Wild. A dusty milky brown. Bordering on that grey-taupe-brown-beige thing, but this is definitely more in the straight brown category than grey/beige/taupe/current-trendy-color. This one is rather nice, very calming shade.


Tight Knight. A warm plummy milk chocolate brown.



Unraveled Rust. This doesn't really strike me as a rust color- it's more of a deep dark chocolate with slight wine tone.


Wool You Marry Me? This is a brown with plum-burgundy tones. Seems to be on the cooler side of brown.


The formula on these was decent. Thick, as Barielles tend to be, but opaque. Good coverage, two coats are pictured here. Some of the brushes had stray hairs that I needed to be mindful of while applying. Drying time is long.

Um... I'm really not sure about this collection. All browns? If you want to do an all brown collection the right way and make it really good, you should take notes from Nubar's Chocolate Truffles Collection. That was a great set of browns- nice variety of shades and finishes, something for every skintone. This Style in Argyle collection, though... I can't say it excites me. None of them really look very good on my skintone and the names are pretty cheesy (and possibly even misspelled!). I do really like Aura Angora, Unraveled Rust and Cowl of the Wild. I would actually wear them.

I don't want to be harsh, but I do want to give my honest opinion... I am disappointed. Do I need to whip out the 'Son, I am disappoint' man again? I look forward to every brand's fall collection as the fall collections are usually the best ones, and for the past two years, Barielle's fall collection has been amazing. 2008 was that epic set with Date Night, remember it? And 2009 was the All Lacquered Up collection with twelve whole shades (designed by a blogger, to boot!). Now in 2010 we have... six browns. Though, this year's collections this year haven't quite rocked my world, either, but this is just the icing on the brown, frosty cake. I'm just having a hard time imagining someone at Barielle saying, "Hey, let's do an all brown collection." "Yeah, everyone's going to love that, it'll be a huge seller!"

But, whatever, that's just this girl's opinion. I am a person who does actually like brown polish. I do, I wear it often, my first true brown polish love was OPI Espresso Your Style and I've loved it ever since. Yet, as much as I do enjoy brown polish, having the entire fall collection consist of nothing but brown is a disappointment for me. Based on their past fall collections (I've only known about them since the 2008 fall) I had intensely high hopes for this year's collection. And, that's what I have to say on the topic.

These should be available now on the website, and they are in a perpetual state of buy two get one free.

Color Club Fall 2010 Untamed Luxury Collection Part 2: Covered in Diamonds

Got my replacement polishes and finished my swatches!

Usually I'm all over Color Club's glitters, but this set isn't quite as nice as the creme set... Have a look:

Covered in Diamonds. This is a really interesting glitter. It's a clear base with varying shapes and sizes of clear opalescent mylar glitter. To give you an idea of the texture, think of those horrible NYX "Avenue" polishes, how they're filled with those little irregular chunks of plastic. This is similar but much, much nicer. These pieces are mostly flat and very densely packed so you can actually do one coat and have a good amount of glitter end up on your nail. It's a little difficult to apply- it's extremely thick and a lot of glitter will end up on your nail so you have to spend a little time smoothing it out with the brush. The end result is quite pretty over certain colors but I prefer it alone. It looks like ice crystals and flashes blue, green, gold, yellow, red orange and purple! In fact... this is made of the same stuff the fake snow they use in Christmas displays at the store is made from- opalescent Mylar flakes.



De-Luxe-Cious. It's really not blue like in the second picture, that's just the lighting. I only posted it to be sure you could all see the pretty opal glitter that didn't quite show up in the sunlight picture. This is a grey metallic jelly/sheer base with lots of opal glitter, very much like those Limited Edition / Japanese glitters or the glitters from the Pardon My French Collection. It does look a bit more lumpy because of the darker base color, but not as bad as Ms. Hautie...


Ms. Hautie. I hate to say it, but this polish just doesn't work. The base is too thick and frosty and the glitter is too fine, so when combined and applied it just looks... lumpy. Chunky. Not so hot. In the second picture you'll notice an amazing pink duochrome in the bottle. Sadly, it does not seem to show up on the nail. It looks great while you're applying it before it dries, but I can't seem to make this work for me. It's a metallic grey/silver frost with teeny tiny hologram microglitter.

Red Velvet. Black base with red glitter. While this polish is very beautiful, I can't say it's unique. It's another China Glaze Lubu Heels clone. Worth getting if you don't have any of the other similar shades.


Resort To Red. A frosty medium red. This particular shade of red doesn't really speak to me, and combined with the frosty base it's a color I would normally never wear. However, it does have a redeeming factor- when you apply it to your nail you'll see glints of iridescent color sparkling at you- almost like a microglitter, but so small I can't even make out definite particles.

Snakeskin. This one is really nice. It's a metallic silver base- not quite a true foil but with definite metal properties. It has a strong green tone to it but it's still mostly silver/grey. The best feature is the tiny gold microglitter. It all combines to actually give the appearance of true snake skin. Crazy! Really pretty and not lumpy like the others!


Untamed Luxury. The star of the collection! A breathtaking jewel-tone glitter. It's a blue-green... aqua... turquoise? It's a bit like the color of Zoya Charla- blue green fusion. Super hot amazing! Very flashy. The glitter is suspended in a sheer matching color base, which I feel adds depth.


I experimented a little using Covered in Diamonds over the other shades in this collection and ended up with a couple unexpectedly pretty combos!

Left to right (pinkie to index): Untamed Luxury, Red Velvet, Ms. Hautie, De-Luxe-Cious.

Wild Orchid, Pretty in Platinum, Snakeskin, Resort to Red.

Ready to Royal, Nothing But Truffle, Soft as Cashmere, Positively Posh.


And with one coat of Covered in Diamonds, no topcoat:


Chunky but pretty! Certain polishes seem to make the glitter sink down and create holes while others hold up better and let the glitter sit on top. My favorites for layering with Covered in Diamonds are Red Velvet (how pretty is that combination?!), Ready To Royal, Wild Orchid, Untamed Luxury and De-Luxe-Cious.


The formula on these was fine- same as the other half. The only one that's different is Covered in Diamonds which could benefit from some three-free thinner, but that might make the glitter application more sparse. It takes a little work to get that polish just right, but I really like the look of it.

I hate to say it but I'm a little let down by this set. I wish Ms. Hautie didn't look so bumpy because it's amazing in the bottle! And I like Red Velvet but unfortunately it's a very frequently-duplicated color. Covered in Diamonds is pretty but really strange to use. Resort to Red falls flat for me... My favorite is definitely Untamed Luxury- it's a must have for any glitter lover. I adore it. Snakeskin is fantastic, very odd and unique, but it works. De-Luxe-Cious is also a nice shade but it is a bit on the bumpy side...

I think this collection is missing a holo (and no, Ms, Haute doesn't count!). I've loved the few holos Color Club has done and I'd love to see more of them! I'd also freak out if they did a collection of glitters like Slamming Red and Purple Medallion but in every color. How incredible would that be? I wonder how we could convince them to make those... Hmmm...

Orly Plastix Matte/Satin Finish Collection Summer 2010

Another collection I'm just not feeling the love for... can't wait for the rest of the fall and winter collections to bring us some sparkle!

Old School Orange. Light/medium orange creme with a semi-matte finish.

Purple Pleather. Does not look this blue in real life, but it's a blue-based purple creme with semi-matte finish.

Retro Red. Light coral red creme with semi-matte finish.


Viridian Vinyl. Medium teal creme with semi-matte finish. A bit darker and greener in real life, somewhat similar to Sally Hansen Fairy Teal.

The formula on these was good. Thick, which is normal for mattes, but not terribly difficult to apply. Drying time is fast, which is also normal for mattes. The only problem I had was some bubbling because of the thickness of the polish and it's more obvious because there's not shimmer to hide it.

I know a lot of people liked these, but I'm not really understanding the point of these. From the press release I thought they'd be a new type of finish with the look of plastic, either totally matte like on some electronics or very glossy and glassy looking like hard plastic. But these? They're half-assed matte. I personally can not stand that rubbery, sorta shiny but sorta dull half matte (or satin) finish. To me it looks like I've been wearing a matte polish for a week already... I want my mattes to be matte! Cause they end up looking like this after a day or so anyway. That and there's nothing terribly special about these colors. I mean, they're good colors, but honestly it's nothing you can't do with a regular polish and a matte topcoat. Purple Pleather looks kinda like China Glaze Grape Pop, Viridian Vinyl looks like Sally Hansen Fairy Teal, Old School Orange looks like OPI Flit a Bit and I'm sure Retro Red looks like something but I can't think of a light red at the moment.

So.... yeah... that's my thoughts on these. I just don't get it. No offense intended if you love these, I just think there's nothing unique about them!

Luckily the Cosmic FX collection made up for Plastix's lack of awesomeness. I'll get to posting that soon.

Konad Fail :(

I've really been in the mood to Konad lately... problem is, I'm horrible at coming up with good color combinations and design selections. I usually end up using one of the same plates I always use (m57 ftw!) and silver or gold chrome or holo for the stamp. I wanted to try something a little different this time, and, well... you'll see how it turned out.

This is the right hand... note the difference between the right and the left:
Despite the inconsistent star placement, somehow this hand turned out a lot better. But, still. Ugh.

My first mistake was picking the Wine Red Konad special polish. In the bottle it looked so pretty and I expected to look more purple-ish when it was on the nail, but no... it didn't. It combined with the drab olive to form this sickly brown-red-blood disgustingness. I showed Mr. Scrangie and he said it looked like rotting camouflage. That actually sounded pretty cool to me, but I felt the need to cover up the mess a little, so hey, why not add some gold chrome stars!

China Glaze 2030 is one of my go-to never fail Konad colors. That wine red Konad special polish must be pretty potent because it leeched into the gold after it had dried! You see that? Weird globby red spots in my gold stars!

That, combined with the smudging of the lines from me pressing too hard combined to create a design that I imagine would be what it might look like if David Bowie were to take a crap on my nails.

Two fail EOTDs from last week.

Not all of my eyes of the day turn out nice... I usually don't take pictures of the ugly ones!

But here are a couple that didn't quite turn out the way I hoped...




I took a million pictures of this one. I wanted to capture the complexity and sparkles in each color. All the shades are duochrome and change depending on the lighting and angle. I tried a few different kinds of lighting... you can sorta see the color shift in the last picture of my eyes closed. Pretty cool looking if you ask me... I love duochromes. I took this picture in the dark and I think it shows the sparkle really well:

And as always, you can click the pictures to see more detail. This was:

Urban Decay Primer Potion
Fyrinnae Avian Shapeshifter on lid (applied wet with MAC mixing medium)
Fyrinnae Velvet Vampire in crease and lower lashline (applied wet with mixing medium)
Fyrinnae Pyromantic Erotica in the inner corners (Can't get enough of this color!)
Fyrinnae Dark Magik as liner (applied wet with mixing medium)
Fyrinnae Finnegan's Wake as highlight
Urban Decay Zero 24/7
Cover Girl Lash Blast

This look was the result of me wanting to try as many of my new Fyrinnae shades as possible. I love the colors! Just... maybe not together. I felt like there was no contrast in this look, it all just blended together into one awesome sparkly duochrome mess. Next time I'll pick a lid color that contrasts more with the liner and crease color. Too bad my pictures don't show how pretty Dark Magik is.... I'll have to use that one again soon.


And then there's this one:

This was:

Urban Decay Primer Potion
Fyrinnae Pyromantic Erotica on lid applied wet as usual (I told you, I can't get enough!)
Fyrinnae Feline Familiars applied wet in crease and lower lashline
Fyrinnae Sleepy Hollow applied wet as liner
Fyrinnae Finnegan's Wake to highlight
Urban Decay Zero 24/7
Cover Girl Lash Blast

The colors themselves are awesome but I don't think I picked a particularly good way to combine them. They're all fighting for attention and don't seem like they flow together. It's almost kind of jarring looking, it just gave me the urge to fix it all day! I did end up covering up Pyromantic Erotica with a layer of Greenman's Forest later in the evening... Nothing against Pyromantic Erotica of course, but I needed to stop the riot going on on my eyelids.

I freakin' love these Fyrinnae Arcane Magic shadows, though... But I need to learn to not try to use them all at once!
