PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, I'VE TRIED TO CAPTURE THE SHADES TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES. FOR POTENTIAL BUYERS I WOULD ADVISE YOU TO VIEW THESE SWATCHES AS REFERENCES ONLY.

Hey guys, this is just an initial review. I will update more on the performance etc. when I use them more thoroughly.
 I've been hearing about La Femme for awhile and when I saw they were available online in the UK I decided to give them a go. The blushes are CRAZY pigmented and for those who don't know they are only priced at £2.95 (5.5g) each (pease note you are only buying the refill pan)!
 I mainly bought these blushes for kit purposes and you can also buy more 'subtle' shades too.
The only negative thing I have noticed is the matte shades don't seem to smooth on so nicely (compared to NARS mattes), but this can be resolved with extra blending/layering.
Overall I am really impressed, if you are looking for extremely pigmented blushes in particularly matte finishes (they sell 'pearl' finishes too) check La Femme out. Worth the hype!

  1. I just purchased a few of the same colours you have. I can't wait until they come in. Do you recall how long shipping took?

  2. They came at a standard normal time (1-3 days). I'm from the UK so this may differ with international shopping.
