I love LaFemme blush, their eyeshadows not so much. I have about 12 of the blushes and Peaches, Coral, Mocha are my favorites. Coral is even brighter than Bite of an Apple with seriously a better payoff but they are different just maybe not on my skin though.

I always pair Mulberry (lightly) with Violetta lipstick over a bronzer if I going for a matchy look and I use some of these are eyeshadows as well.

You know, I think i've shyed away from buy mulberry because it looks so BLUE-based. I'm afraid it would look odd on my warm complexion. Also, i tried a few of their eyeshadows and the ones i got(Black, Dark Brown, and Brown) are actually fantastic! They are just as smooth as the Blushes and quite pigmented.

It is blue based but on your cheeks it will warm up and it doesn't look like Halloween cheeks at all. I say go for it if nothing else you can use it as eyeshadow. It reminds me of the No. 9 Mufe eyeshadow with is defintely cool but put them side by side and you can see that Mulberry is warm.

I can compare what I have to other blushes but don't let that discourage you from buying them if you have these colors because Lafemme is far superior to other brands.

Heather= Mac Highland Honey but with sparkle
Plum Frost= Mac X-rocks=dead on dupes on me
Mauve Sparkle- Mac Trax eyeshadow but with silver sparkle and paler
Peaches and Peach Sparkle-Nars Gilda, Milani Mai Tai, Nars Gilda
Golden Rose-so awesome, no dupes in my stash

Rose Chiffon and Orchid Ice are dupes of each other. You don't need both. Dupe:Mac Dollymix layered with Stars and Rockets it has a blue undertone that you definitely see and they are frost
Lilac Champagne-a medium pink frost
Crystal Cafe=a peach frost. I layer this over Peach. This has a harder texture than the others ones but very pretty. Dupes-the other peach blush that came out with X-rocks, name escapes me.
Sienna-Would make an excellent contour for NW45 and up. It is a matte reddish brown.
Golden Sunset- Nars Taj Mahal but two shades darker and a lot less shimmery but it is a frost
Redwood-a reddish coral. This is similar to Golden Rose but more coral whereas Golden Rose is deep pink red coral. Dupe-Nars Exhibit not nearly close enough but just give you an idea of brightness and tone.

Coral Spice, I hate with a passion. It is so pretty in pan but has a heavy silver frost that translates to the skin but for $3, why not.

Hi I just purchased some colors, I bought the Lab Palette, I was watching AfricanExport on Youtube (love her!!) and she had good things to say about LaFemme and from the reviews here, I'm glad I did. I'm about a NW50-55, the colors I bought were:

Russet, Bordeaux, Grape, Terracotta, Coral, Cinnabar, Purple Passion, Magenta, Golden Sunset, Sienna, Crystal Cafe, and Peach Sparkl

From what I hear,and have seen they are super pigmented, so I'll probably be using my duo fibre brush especially for the Magenta. I have to say that I'm some what new in makeup, more so with blush, what do you think with my color choices? I'll definitely post some swatches for those who are on the other end of our lovely color spectrum

Those, IMO, are wonderful choices!! Russet will give you the same effect as Raizin by MAC!! All of those blushes are SUPER pigmented and they will go on beautifully and true to color on you! Can't wait to see what you think of them!
