Femme Fatale Friday! My latest order swatched!

A couple weeks ago I placed my third order with Femme Fatale Cosmetics, and like the times before, I received everything orderly and within a week! Which I think is awesome since its coming all the way from Australia. Sophie is running a top notch company, FFC is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorites to order from.

Descriptions:

Moonstone: "A sheer white shade with a soft blue duochrome shine and sparkles." The duochrome is so intense its unbelievable! As much as I love the Darling Girl Rainbow Brite 'Buddy Blue' it looks kinda weak next to Moonstone.
Archangel: "A translucent yellow-toned ivory eye shadow complimented violet duochrome."
Heroic: "A soft copper-tinged peach based shadow, highlighted by an incredible golden shimmer." Looks like a pale, peachy gold to me.
Frozen Flame: "A pale amber orange with peachy tones, highlighted by a subtle blue shimmer."
Phantasm: "A pale purple with violet tones and copper orange shimmer."
Faerie Fire: "A soft lavender pink with cool undertones, highlighted by a electric lime gold sparkles."
Hallowed Ground: "A pale asparagus green with stunning red shimmer."
Moonglow: "A pale columbia blue with a prominent golden duochrome and subtle pink shimmer."
Sunfire: "A sweet peachy pink with coral tones and a striking copper gold shine. Not to be missed!"
Shadowdance: "A cool grey with bluish undertones and a scattering of subtle blue and pink sparkles."
Rampage: "A vivid copper red shimmer over a burnt umber base."
Spirit Bond: "A deep midnight blue with strong purple undertones and a shimmery golden finish." I see more green than gold in the shift.
Crusader: "A vivid saffron yellow eye shadow complimented by a scattering of gold and copper sparkles."
Forever Lovely Rose was limited edition for Valentines day 2011.
Rebel: "It is a muted thulian pink duochrome shade with violet sparkles. Rebel is a soft and lightweight blush of which the colour can be built up to your liking." Apparently this is a blush lol, I had no idea so I swatched it like an eyeshadow.

Femme Fatale Friday! Archangel and Smokebomb

I was inspired by a look I found on Phyrra's pinterest, her post is here.

I made mine less smokey as I wanted Archangel to be the main focus. Unfortunately I used a sample of Sephora brand Perfecting Eye Primer, and while it felt nice and kept my eyeshadow from creasing, it didn't make the colors vibrant like my favorite $1 ELF eyelid primer does.

Anyways! I applied the Sephora primer then patted on Femme Fatale Archangel on the lid. I used a nameless matte, taupish-grey by ELF in the crease and FFC Smokebomb to deepen the outer corner. Black mascara, eyeliner, and MUFE lashes to finish the eye look.

ELF tinted moisturizer in Porcelain with Almay Clear Complexion Concealor in Light. And for my lips I tried out MAC Creme Cup.

Left is Flawless Fuchsia and right is Elegant Lilac. Flawless Fuchsia is brighter and more blue toned. Elegant Lilac is a little bit lighter but pretty accurate.

Simple Sunday: Darling Girl Jeweled Taupe

Today I was thinking about how on days when I don't have time to do complex looks, or it's not appropriate to wear bright colors, I tend to not wear any makeup at all. There's nothing wrong with not wearing makeup (I don't wear it 75% of the time) but I'd still like to wear something for that little *oomph* makeup gives to your outfit and confidence. Sundays are going to be reserved for simple, easy, natural(ish) looks.

I recently met Marz' cousin when he came to visit while touring the California coast with his band. I try not to scare off future family members with crazy makeup the first time we meet, so I went with a shimmery, subdued look focused around my new love; Revlon Lip Butter in Gumdrop. 

I Used:

Darling Girl Glitter Glue

 WnW matte nude on browbone

DGC Jeweled Taupe all over lid

WnW matte white in inner corner

Evil Shades Dreamspeaker on lower lashline

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper

Maybelline mascara

Jardana Purple eyeliner to fill in brows

 Revlon Lip Butter in Gumdrop

I'm hoping to do a Simple Sunday look every week. I'm curious what your guys' interpretation on "simple" is? A classic look? Looking like you're not wearing makeup? Only using a few colors?
