I Purchased This





Back in March (is it really April already?), Femme Fatale Cosmetics was having a reopening sale after being closed for a few weeks and I took the chance to pick up a few eyeshadow samples. I picked up a few more duochromes and other colors that I thought were must-haves and swatched them all here! I'm also trying out a new way of doing swatch pictures for duochromes to better showcase the colors so I'd love some feedback!





There are so many pictures so I've put everything behind a read more tag!









As always, the eyeshadows were swatched dry over Milani Eyeshadow Primer. The duochrome will be more enhanced over a glitter adhesive like Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy or Darling Girl Glitter Glue but since not everyone has it, I decided not to swatch over it.



Deepmoss







Deepmoss: "A deep navy blue base with a satin smooth green to blue colour shifting shimmer." I was pleasantly surprised with Deepmoss, the green to blue shimmer is so much more prominent in person. This would be perfect for a pop of color in the middle of your lid.



Exorcism







Exorcism: "A medium purple with a stunning colour shifting shimmer which alternates between a complimentary purple and sea green depending on the light." Exorcism is super pretty but I think it was a little difficult to coax out the shimmer.



Incantation







Incantation: "A burgundy based eyeshadow with a scattering of pink sparkles." Though this isn't a super duochromey eyeshadow, I'm such a sucker for burgundy that I had to get this.



Jinx







Jinx: "A pigmented mid purple with blue undertones and a warm tone (copper red) duochrome finish". Ohhhhh man this is such a beautiful eyeshadow. The base is more blue than purple and that copper-red duochrome is so much stronger in person.



Moonglow







Moonglow: "A pale columbia blue with a prominent golden duochrome and subtle pink shimmer." On me, it's more silver than blue and I love the contrast of the golden duochrome with the silvery base.



Seafire







Seafire: "A washed out sea green teal with golden shimmer and pink sparks." It swatches more green than blueish but I think that's because of the golden shimmer. It did swatch a little duller than I was expecting.



Smokebomb







Smokebomb: "A black based eyeshadow with colour shifting shimmer and copper sparkles" I think this would be super pretty to use in a smokey eye with the contrasting shimmer. I think this would fare better applied wet to get the shimmers to pop.



Spectral Fragments







Spectral Fragments: "A deep blackened wine base with prominent turquoise shimmer" Oh boy if you're not in love with it already because of the turquoise shimmer, you've got no heart. So beautiful with a bright turquoise.



Sugar Rush







Sugar Rush: "A bright blue-toned purple with soft turquoise-green shimmer". Sugar Rush is the lighter cousin with stronger shimmer of Exorcism. I much prefer Sugar Rush though it is a tad sheerer than Exorcism.



The Nightmare







The Nightmare: "An eggplant purple base with intense golden green glimmers and sparkles." This one really surprised me. I love the contrast of the green glimmer and sparkle against the purple base. It's such a must-have!



Wavemender







Wavemender: "A midrange soft sea green teal with sparse shimmer and flecks of crimson sparkles" By far, this was my favorite eyeshadow and it was actually my free sample! I lamented not purchasing this and was pleasantly surprised when it was my sample. The soft teal contrasting with the crimson is beautiful!



I'm a huge fan of Femme Fatale Cosmetics and although their international shipping is a bit expensive, it's so worth it since their duochromes are wonderful. In the future, I'm getting myself a full size of The Nightmare and Wavemender at least.
