Disclaimer: I am currently in the process of reswatching duochromes and photographing them differently to give my readers a more accurate depiction of the shifts. Please be patient while I go through the process of updating my past reviews. :)
Ask and you shall receive, readers! After my First Impressions post, I had a lot of requests to show off my shinies in swatch form. I just received my first Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy, so what better way to try it out than make this post? This is my first time taking pictures of swatches, so let me know if there's anything I can improve on!

Top Row: Alpha and Omega, Suicidal Bastard, You Smell Like Burning!, Tide Caller
Bottom Row: Mikasa, Silent Night, That Tastes Like Purple!, Fear Me
All swatches are bare skin on the left, and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy on the right.
As with a lot of sparkly indie shadows, they lose a lot of pigmentation and glitter without a good sticky base.
I really don't have a single complaint about any of these shadows. They all have a buttery or velvety texture, and the glittery shadows really stand out. Out of all eight, That Tastes Like Purple!, Mikasa, and Alpha and Omega and my favorites. That Tastes Like Purple! is an amazing lavender glitterbomb, Mikasa is very pigmented with and without a shadow base, and Alpha and Omega is a unique blue with red sparkle. As with most shadows, indie or not, the mattes tend to have some fallout during application despite using a sticky base. I always start with my eyes when I apply makeup, so it's nothing a tissue can't fix!
All in all, I would highly recommend AFK Cosmetics to any indie lover, especially fans of Attack on Titan and League of Legends, as most of AFK's shadows are based on those two amazing fandoms. If you're a Pokemon fan, be sure to snag Alpha and Omega before it disappears at the end of January! You can check out everything AFK Cosmetics has to offer at their website here.
