Femme Fatale is an Australian company that has jewelry, nail polish, and cosmetics with very unique colours and collections. I've always wanted to try it but oversea shipping is normally what hinders me. They did a sale at the start of 2014 and I purchased eye shadow samples to try out some of their shadows and swatch them up!
There's two different options for the shadow samples, a 5 or 10 pack, with a 2 max of unique colours. Shipping is also free for the sample packs. I put insurance on the order (1$ or 2$ options) for peace of mind. Their TAT was 9 business days and considering it's oversea shipping, I was expecting to get this in February. Spoiler alert: Got it in less than a week once it was shipped! Initial reaction was surprise. They wrote a personal note in sparkly ink (Who doesn't love sparkly ink???) and the samples were packed really well, and very professionally. They included a business card and a glossy postcard.
The swatches are going to be broken up in a few posts since there's so many different colours and pictures. Some of these were difficult to photograph, the shimmer and sparkle in some of the shadows are very difficult to capture, but are incredibly beautiful in person.
All swatches are Urban Decay original primer potion (on the left) and bare skin (on the right). The shadows didn't cling to bare skin very well. Most of the sparkles and shimmer were extremely easy to buff out if the shadows weren't 'patted' on. I used a brush for all the swatches, and the strokes are very obvious, their shadows are so delicate and lovely! Some swatches were taken outside, and some are under an Ott-Lite.
Levitate as described by their website: "A soft amaranth pink with lavender tones, Levitate has a frosty violet shimmer with a scattering of blue, red and pink sparkles."
Nexus as described: "Nexus is a deep navy with teal tones and brilliant red shimmers and sparks." The sparkles are very delicate and easy to buff out if too much pressure is used. There's only a small portion of where the sparkles survived in my swatches. Very unique and beautiful.
Wrath Baby: "An electric Majorelle blue with a hint of violet, Wrath Baby eye shadow also has a scattering of subtle blue and purple shimmer." My camera is impossible to deal with when it comes to intense blues/purples. I love the name also. I play World of Warcraft and wrath baby was a label for those who started playing during the Wrath of the Lich King expansion.
