Hey Beautiful People
 
 Today we are looking at a review of a Australian company Femme Fatale! I have done reviews of Femme Fatale eye shadows previously but not their blushes so here we go!

Femme Fatale ship world wide and shipping is fairly on par with most international shipping however ALL international shipping has increased over the last few months so please keep that in mind!
Pricing for Femme Fatale shades is very affordable for a sample baggie you get 1/8 tspn for $1.10 AUD and a Full Size 10g jar with sifter is  $8.25 AUD (though trush me the baggie will last you AGES if oyu want to try out a bunch of shades) This Blush is finely milled and apples easily to the skin .
 
One of the things I do first off when purchasing from a company is to look for a ingredients list and Femme Fatale do not disappoint each listing has a separate list below is Rebel's 
INGREDIENTS: Mica, Magnesium Stearate, Iron Oxide (77491), Titanium Dioxide, Tin Oxide (778161), Manganese Violet (Pigment Violet #16).
 
The jar also has a list on its label so bonus points there. For any Vegans out there is beautiful pink blush IS a vegan shade. Rebel besides being a blush is also Eye and lip safe making it a very diverse shade.
 
Femme Fatale also have a few recommendations for their products
  • Keep well sealed in cool environment
  • 1 year shelf life
  • To avoid bacterial contamination do not share FFC products with other people.

  •  I chose to do 2 swatches one over bare skin and another over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy just in case you wanted to see what it looked like as a shadow. Femme Fatale Chroma Glow Blushes as the name suggests do have a slight 'glow' like duo-chrome effect and for those of us cursed with oily skin this MAY not be the best as it dost leave a sheen on the skin if applied to heavily however if applied with a light hand its not as noticeable.

    Now onto colour descriptions





     
    Colour Description
    Femme Fatale Description - Rebel is a loose mineral based blush. It is a muted thulian pink duochrome shade with violet sparkles. Rebel is a soft and lightweight blush of which the colour can be built up to your liking
    My Description - A Soft pink shade with a slight violet duo-chrome buildable
     
    Would I repurchase this again? Probably not as I mentioned above on the cheeks I personally have found with my oily skin it doesn't looks as flattering as I would like especially after a few hours when my natural oils manage to peak through. However as a eyeshadow/lip colour it is STUNNING
     
    Whats you favourite blush colour?

    Final thoughts: This is a very flattering Pink shade I feel this would work well on most  skin tone, This shade dose have a shimmer effect so it MAY not be great for those with super oily skin. It is build able on the skin and works great as a eye shadow or mixedwith clear gloss for a pretty pout.

    Hey Ya'll

    Today on our busy schedule we have Femme Fatale Cosmetics (FFC) and I will be chatting with you about the Gemstone collection. The Gemstone Collection are a set of 8 amazing duo –  chrome shades that are white based pigments that have a pretty duo - chrome.

    Onto pricing for a 5g jar (no sifter) costs $5.75 AUS, the 3g jar has the option of sifter or no sifter for a slight change in price 3g w/ sifter $3.10 AUS and 3g no sifter $3.00 AUS, Sample baggies are $1.00 each. Postage varies depending on the postal method.

    Depending on the angle you look at the pigments take on a different appearence, these shades are great to use as a inner-corner highlight as they are quiet soft over base skin or as a soft highlight. However if you really want these colours to stand out they work amazing over a black base as you will see in the photos below. The colours are not easy to photograph but I feel i managed to capture them =)


     
     
    Colour Descriptions
     
    
    Golden Peridot
    FFC - It is a translucent white with a beautiful lime green shimmer and sparkles
    My Description - A soft white base with a light yellow based lime duo-chrome.

    Fire Opal
    FFC - It is a sheer white with strong copper orange shimmer and sparkles
    My Description - A soft white base with a bronze/copper duo-chrome.

    Icemist Diamond
    FFC - It is a soft translucent white highlighted by a stunning aqua shift and sparks
    My Description -  A soft white base with a Aquamarine blue duo-chrome.

    Twilight Amethyst
    FFC - It is a translucent white with a fabulous purple shift and sparkles
    My Description -.  A soft white base with a Violet/lavender duo-chrome

    Emerald Glow
    FFC -  It is a sheer white complimented by an emerald green shift and green sparkles
    My Description - A soft white base with a light emerald green duo-chrome

    Moonstone
    FFC - It is a sheer white shade with a soft blue duochrome shine and sparkles
    My Description -  A soft white base with a cornflower blue duo-chrome

    Star Ruby
    FFC - It is a translucent white with stunning pink/red shift and sparkles.
    My Description -  A soft white base with a red duo-chrome

    Sun Crystal
    FFC - It is a sheer soft-white base with striking golden shimmer and sparks
    My Description -  A soft white base with a yellow/light gold duo-chrome.








    As you can see these are definetly not opaque shades however they can be layered over other colour to creat complex and individual looks. In terms of must haves I recommend Moonstone, Golden Peridot  and Twilight I adore their finishes fantastic for innercorner or as a lower lash colour.

    What do you think of white base duo-chromes?

    Final thoughts:  These shades are very sheer great for inner corner highligh work best applied over a dark base. The duo-chromes lean slightly primary coloured however blend very well. a Sticky base is recommened for these shades to really make them POP.

    The Swatched for Femme Fatal are SLIGHTLY different to my normal Swatches I have swatched these twice and to PROPERLY demonstrate the Duo chrome goodness I have used a White Base, PRIMER and then BLACK base rather then bare skin in the middle

    Hey Ya'll

    This Blog Review is of an Australian Company called Femme Fatale Cosmetics (FFC), I am a relative 'Newbie' to this company despite FFC having been around for a year! I have noticed the indy blogging world seems to have picked up on FFC (or have I been sleeping?) the owner Sophie's amazing Duo-Chrom powers, almost everything has a touch of Duo-Chrome to it from shadows & blushes to Nail Polish!

    FFC pricing is very competitive in the Indy world on par with the majority of Indy stores a 5g jar (no sifter) costs $5.75 AUS, the 3g jar has the option of sifter or no sifter for a slight change in price 3g w/ sifter $3.10 AUS and 3g no sifter $3.00 AUS, Sample baggies are $1.00 each. Postage varies to pre paid sachels (australians have the option to express post items) I have to say I LOVE the fact FFC do NOT have sifters I hate sifters so this is a BIG plus for me!

    To day I am reviewing 6 shadows I purcased two 5g jars and four 3g jars
     

     
    On to the Colour Swatches =)
     





     
     
    Hybernate
    My Description - This colour has been dicsontinued sadly however this is a bright green with copper sparkles and a gold shift.
     
    Exorcism
    Femme Fatale Cosmetics Description - A medium toned purple with a stunning colour shifting shimmer which alternates between a complimentary purple and a sea green depending on the angle of the light
    My Description - A bright mid-toned purple with what appears to be pink and gold sparkle
     
    Hallowed Ground
    Femme Fatale Cosmetics Description - It is a pale asparagus green with stunning red shimmer.
    My Description - A Pale borderline pastelle green with a red duo-chrome
     
    Dispersion
    Femme Fatale Cosmetics Description - It is a deep mulberry with bold teal blue shimmer, and one of our top sellers. The duo chrome shimmer on this shade is amazing, our pictures really do not do it any justice. This is a shade not to be missed!
    My Description - A Deep warm purple with a strong blue Duo-chrome and slight maroon undertones
     
    Spark of Life
    Femme Fatale Cosmetics Description - It is a soft pale leaf green eye shadow complimented by a striking but subtle green duochrome finish. Soft, versatile and perfect for a toned down everyday look
    My Description - A pale green with a broderline metalic finish, and a slightly darker green Duo Chrome
     
    Space Cow
    Femme Fatale Cosmetics Description - It is a soft lavender eye shadow tinged with grey and highlighted by a muted reddish pink shimmer
    My Description - A Deep lavender with a darker purple dup chrome and violet glitter

    Overall I am really quite impressed with these colours the Duo-chromes are amazing and the products are finly milled and pigmented. Its really great to see a Australian Indy company, all my items arrived in a quick manner well above the TAT and were packaged securely. Of these 6 colours my fave would be Dispersion it a beautiful lid colour with its complex formula! The ONLY thing i have to say is in my opinion these shades work BEST over a sticky base such as Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy to really bring out their Duo Chromes =)

    Have you tried Femme Fatale? If so whats your favrouite shade?

    Final thoughts: These shades are INSANELY pigmented and complex, I love how you have the sifter option! This product is DEFINITELY best used with a sticky base and patted on the lid not swiped on. Items arrived well above TAT and were wrapped securely in bubble wrap. If your obsessed with Duo Chrome check out Femme Fatale!!!
