Review and swatches: Femme Fatale Cosmetics eyeshadows!

I have four eyeshadows and four blushes/illuminators from Femme Fatale Cosmetics to show you! This post will be eyeshadows only, I'll do a separate one with the blushes :)

*DISCLAIMER - these products have been provided for review. This has not influenced my opinion in any way.*

Since these are all complex, shimmery shades I did swatches over Pixie Epoxy. These were done in a mix of artificial/natural light since it was cloudy and overcast the weekend I wrote this review. That aside, I'm really happy with my efforts to capture the colours.

RUBY WINGS
Site description:
"Soft ruby pink with a smooth pink finish."

My thoughts:
Soft fuschia with a gentle magenta sheen. Really beautiful colour.

SHIFTING SANDS
Site description:
"A buttery smooth jasmine yellow with subtle green shimmer."

My thoughts:
Metallic, soft green-toned yellow. If you dislike bright yellows, or like yellow but it doesn't suit you, I'd definitely encourage you to try this. You can use it as a wash of colour over primer with a light hand. I actually can't wait to use this!

OBLITERATE
Site description:
"A muted cerise eye shadow with a subtle colour shifting shimmer which alternates between aqua, pink and soft green."

My take:
Muted medium grape with a hint of blue-green shimmer. I think this would make a gorgeous liner or crease colour. I'm a very matchy person as well, so I'd probably pair this with a berry lipstick.

SUNFIRE
Site description: 
"A sweet peachy pink with coral tones and a striking copper gold shine. Not to be missed!"

My take: peach-tonded pink with a strong gold sheen. Not very 'me' but a gorgeous shade indeed.


Sohpie very clearly marks which shades are lip safe as well, so I grabbed the only clear gloss I own (Lanolips lip treatment in Lemonaid) and using just my finger patted/mixed a bit of shadow into the gloss.

Sophie has done so many amazing things with the Femme Fatale  Cosmetics shop and all the indie nail polish available through there, I think her incredible eyeshadows get overlooked sometimes. You can buy samples in bags (1/8th of a teaspoon) for $1.10, mini jars (3g) for $3.10 and full-size shadows (5g) for $5.85, which are all very affordable for powder cosmetics. She has a huge range of colours as well. I think any fans of Aromaleigh would love her eyeshadows.

Blushes and illuminators coming up next!
