There are two purple-y toned shades in the Too Faced Exotic Colour collections, one is this lilac type colour, and the other is a deeper Orchid shade. We’ll get on to that later.

Violet Femme is a light creamy purple with gold sparkles:

It looks a little powdery no? From another angle you can see the gold sparkles more:

It’s not as bad as Midnight Mist for poor pigmentation, but it still isn’t a rich and pigmented as it could be.  It leaves a light lilac colour and the gold sparkles are quite evenly spread throughout although it’s not the strongest feature.
Once again I’d struggle to justify paying full price for a shade like this. There’s a MAC shadow I have (and I really can’t remember the name) which is light purple with shimmers that would work just as well, if not better.
Verdict: 2/5

It’s a pretty shade, but I agree – it looks too much like other colours I already own…

Looks pretty but I agree on paying full price for it when a mac one could do the job better
