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?

Xoxo

Hello again Ya'll

So as you all would know the Halloween season is upon us and ya'll know what that means the Indy world is going mad getting all the seasonal collections out. A few days ago I got my Tick Tock Cosmetics (TTC) Halloween Collection luckly the weather has been kind and has been sunny (unlike right now as i am writing this the rain is pouring) this collection is one of the best TTC has put out!

This collection is avaiable now inthe TTC store and is selling for $25 USD for the 4 shadows and 1 lip gloss, However if your not interested in the collection as a whole the entire collection is avaiable for individual sale, the collection comes in 5 gram jars and are very pigmented and smooth to use, the Lip gloss contains 8 mLs of product.

I am also going to review 2 unreleased colours I recieved as samples.

The Collection arrived in a cute Halloween themed bag.

 
The shadows are as with all TTC colours Time related with a Halloween twist in my order i also got 2 samples of unreleased colours Sequal and Age of Dragons which I have also included in this post.
 



So onto the swatches I'll do the samples first shall we? OK so I have NO official TTC description so here we go

Sequal
My Description - A sand/peach colour with a Lavender blue Duo-chrome

Age Of Dragons
My Description - A red/brown shade with a green duo-chrome (this shade reminds me of MAC Blue Brown Pigment but its better)






 
Andd now onto  the colour descriptions

Deadly Nightshade
Tick Tock Discription - Inspired by Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas, Deadly Nightshade is a bright violet base exploding with golden sparkle and shift
My Discription - A medium purple with gold glitter and a strong gold duo-chrome

Friday the 13th
Tick Tock Description -Friday the 13th is a bright medium coppery, golden orange with a fiery red shift and a splattering of color shifting green/gold sparkle

Finally onto the Lip Gloss

Creatures of the Night
Tick Tock Description - Creatures of the Night is a gorgeous, opaque black with red and holographic sparkle! We've had trouble taking a photo that really does the sparkle in this justice, but it is absolutely gorgeous!
My Description - A Opaque Black with multi coloured sparkle.
 
 
I love this collection my favrouite shadow is Deadly Nightshade its a BEAUTIFUL purple and the duo-chrome makes it very versitile in looks I am also a fan of Never Sleep Again for the same reason. the Lip goss i found applied best ewith a lip brush for me personally the gloss isnt sticky and didnt dryout my lips, and so you can get an idea of how the colours look on the here is a look used all 4 of the eye shadows =)

 
Do you think you will buy this collection? Whats for favrouite colour?

Final thoughts: I love Tick Tock i am never disappointed with any of their products the Customer service is great, the only reason application is a little lower is that it CAN take a little bit of playing to get used to a loose pigment. the pricing is very fair and if you cant decide their samples are very generous
