Brand Challenge: Femme Fatale Cosmetics

Hello readers,
I've pulled out another six shades from my Femme Fatale Cosmetics collection to share with you. Let's take a look at swatches.

Lake Shatter (Nov '15 Sample 177)

Lake Shatter features a sapphire blue jelly base filled with small green and blue glitter, small blue flecks, green flecked shimmer and tiny red holographic glitters. The formula was easy to work with and took three coats for full coverage. It did dry down with some glitter texture so top coat was needed to smooth things out. Photos show three coats of Lake Shatter with one coat of Seche Vite top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Morning Glory

Morning Glory features a fresh yellow base with a soft blue sheen. The result is somewhere on the line of yellow and green. The formula was very easy to work with and built up to full coverage in three coats. Photos show three coats of Morning Glory with one coat of Seche Vite top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Twinkle Twinkle

Twinkle Twinkle features a muted blue crelly base filled with small glitters in shades of blue, purple and silver holo. The formula applied nicely though waiting a little extra time between coats helped prevent glitter dragging. I used three coats here for full coverage. You'll want top coat to smooth out some glitter bumps. Photos show three coats of Twinkle Twinkle with one coat of Seche Vite top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Under The Waters

Under The Waters features a blurple base packed with a strong teal shimmer. The formula was quite easy to work with and too three coats for full coverage. Photos show three coats of Under The Waters with one coat of Seche Vite top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Kida

Kida features a pale taupe (cold) to traslucent milky white (warm) thermal base filled with turquoise to violet shifting shimmer. The formula was very easy to work with and took three coats for full coverage. Photos show three coats of Kida with one coat of Seche Vite top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Up Above The World You Fly

Up Above The World You Fly features a pale greyish purple base filled with a strong turquoise to violet shifting shimmer and tiny silver and turquoise glitters. The formula was easy to work with and took three coats for full coverage. Photos show three coats of Up Above The World You Fly with one coat of Seche Vite top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
