The weather's been ugly-nasty here as of late (50-60 MPH winds, driving chilly rain, power outages) so I've been trying to come up with brighter combinations…even though I need to start using the bolder, darker colors in my collection. (Well - I guess that's what summer will be for.)

Part of the One Year Eyecolor Challenge (new colors used: 4)

Eyes

• MAC's Perky, lash to crease
• The SheSpace's Girl Genius, center lid and browbone
• Everyday Minerals' Plane View, outer lid
• The SheSpace's Looked and Leaped, inner lid
• Bare Escentuals' Sure Thing, upper lash line

Lips

• Aromaleigh v1's Pinafore
• Bare Escentuals' buxom Krystal

Every time I use my Aromaleigh lippies lately, I find more reasons to be sad that they're all being discontinued. I understand the reasoning behind the decision to discontinue them, they don't move quickly and because of their ingredients they can't be made in great big huge batches so they weren't necessarily making enough money to justify continuing to carry them - and even if it was completely a whim, it's the owner's business, the owner gets to make decisions regarding what products and services they will or won't offer and why. I am just now having to find replacements (preferably replacements that don't have such a short damned shelf life) and that's always a hassle. For one thing, I want the same color payoff/tint, which isn't always easy to find. Most companies market lip sticks (full color) or lip glosses (sheer color), not too many market tints...which is what many of the Aromaleigh lippies effectively were, which is what I want. Surprisingly, I've found some near-matches among Cover Girl's Lip Slicks...but only about four, to date. (And nothing for Pinafore.)
