Aromaleigh shadows and liner

After reading the name "Aromaleigh" over and over in the makeup blogs I read, I fancied a few of these amazing shadows myself, only to find out that Aromaleigh was closing it's cyber-doors forever. I waited and waited for the clearance sale to begin hopping to snag a few and waited patiently as the order was filled and shipped.

Much to my surprise I had a lovely package waiting for me today and here is what it was comprised of:

In my excitement I ripped open the packaging before I
snapped a pic, so I went back and tried to make it look as
pretty as it was before maiming it, and it didn't work. Please
excuse my dry skin and mani - I only did my left hand for
reasons unknown (and to further the confusion, I have left
it that way for over 2 days... Idk).


Here are the ordered products:
Aromaleigh Pure Drama Eyeliner = Drama Teal
Aromaleigh Pure Eye Lustres Mineral Eyes = Pandora
Aromaleigh Pure Eyes Frost Mineral Eyes = Wine
Aromaleigh Pure Eyes Frost Mineral Eyes = Azure
Aromaleigh Eyes Lustres mineral Eyes = Celeste
Aromaleigh Pure Eyes Frost Mineral Eyes = Jade


And I got Free Samples! The picture doesn't really do them
justice- check out "Ego" in the pic below! I can't wait to try
these on.

Pretty, pretty!

Here are the colors on the bottom of the jars, same order in
all the pictures in case you were curious.

For size - this is what I believe is Celeste.... :S
I should have looked!
For size comparisons.

I'll swatch these when I have some more free time. :)

Rimmel & Borghese

1 coat SH- Nail Growth Miracle,
1 coat Rimmel Lycra wear + minerals in Milk Chocolate
No top coat
Lots of shine right out of the bottle without a top coat.
It wasn't completely opaque w/ 1 coat but I didn't want it to be.
Same application as above but
+ 1 coat Borghese in Patina Pearl
With top coat

Another view - the colors don't come across
as well as I'd like. The Rimmel is a darker nude
and the Borghese is a pink shimmer in
low or natural light.
There's a light pink glow to it that these photos don't capture.
It's quite a lovely understated combo that has become one of
my favorite combinations.

Sinful Colors & Sally Hansen

Colors Used:
Sinful Colors - Rise and Shine
Sally Hansen - Ultra HD: DVD

Love the way this applied and wore all by it's self.
Matte without being dull.

2 coats Rise and Shine, 2 coats Sally Hansen HD polish in DVD.

It's a gorgeous electric blue without being gaudy or obnoxious.
Has purple low lights at different angles.
