Sometime last February I placed an order with Femme Fatale Cosmetics, a company with shadows I had been lusting over for quite some time. Femme Fatale is an Australian-based mineral eyeshadow company that also sells face powders and some of the most beautiful handmade nail polish I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the polish isn't able to be shipped to the US since it is a flammable substance that cannot be shipped via aircraft (even within the US). No worries, I still got me some pretty awesome shadows.
Since international shipping is rather steep these days, Femme Fatale offers a deal for their international customers: sample baggies for $1.10 each and free shipping on those baggies! Pretty sweet. I actually snagged these babies during their Easter sale (goes to show you how much of a procrastinator I am, yes?). I ordered 23 samples and only paid $21.31! Yes!
Anyway, here are a few of the shadows I received. All are swatched over Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy:
Candied Apple: "pale redwood pink with a green duochrome, and blends out to have an almost brown undertone to it"

Archangel: " translucent yellow-toned ivory complimented by a soft violet duochrome shine. Archangel is very versatile and is great applied alone on the lid, as a highlight or over a dark base to make the violet shine pop!"

Nightlash: "rich mid-range purple with cool undertones and brassy copper shimmer"
Swamplord: "rich mossy green with strong yellow tones and bold yellow/green shimmer"

Genesis: "soft sea foam turquoise with light golden shimmer. Genesis is a great soft shade with just that little extra kick from the duochrome shimmer, and makes an amazing pastel-looking liner when foiled."
Crystalline Scale: "delicate pale thistle purple with pink tones and a soft blue duochrome finish, suitable for every-day wear or highlighting."
Azuremist [discontinued]: "pale light blue with very subtle pink shimmer"
Swatches with flash:
Oh my goodness, aren't these gorgeous?! I honestly could not pick a favorite out of all of these. They apply like a dream and are so pigmented. My camera wasn't able to pick up the duochrome in some of the pictures (like in Archangel), but it's there! I recommend Femme Fatale 100%. I can't wait until I get paid so I can make a big order of some full-sizes! :)
Have you tried Femme Fatale's eyeshadows? How did you like them?
