In the pot, this looks fairly similar to Aromaleigh v1's Sea Glass. Applied, it changes a bit. The purple deepens, and the blue tones come out (helped, no doubt, by the metallic finish…) I might have some other eyeshadow colors that are a similar greyed-periwinkle shade, but none that...
Definitely more of a sparkly-effects shadow than a solidly opaque color - at least for me. Both the wet and the dry applications were transparent to some degree, but both also definitely showed off the gold sparkle front and center. I can use this on top of something else, to...
This is a very pale pink, almost more of a pinkish white. It reminds me quite a lot of Concrete Minerals' White Rabbit (a little more pink and a little less white) or of Pure Luxe's Opal Aura (far more pigmentation.) It's got less of a metallic finish than MAC's...
When this collection first came out, I was mildly interested in the colors - they reminded me of Aromaleigh v1’s Carolina Summer collection, in that these were mostly softer or greyed shades. Then I got my first set of samples, and promptly started ordering full sizes. These shades are...
My photos aren't tweaked or washed out - this color does apply very soft! The shimmer is there, but minimal, so you've got a nice “toned down” green that's not a complete matte. I think this is a fairly neutral green, not overtly warm or cool. It almost reminds me...
I first heard of this company - and this color - on Sirvinya's site. I liked the neutral color with a nice, strong gold shimmer, nearly a metallic look to it. I see a bit more gold in this shade than I did in Aromaleigh v2's Amandier, which is...
Paired up with Defenestrate - which is a nice color, but really, I had to get these two just for the names! Propinquity is a soft dusty lilac with the barest gold shimmer. The gold barely shows up even when the color is foiled. It's more of a faint suggestion...
This color is what I had hoped Zoya's Cynthia would be. That color ended up being a little too dark, it read more as a blue-black than a blackened teal. This one is just a tiny bit brighter, and is an excellent color: smooth, high-shine finish dark teal creme that...
I don’t know why the second China Glaze Magnetix collection didn’t get any love. I actually like the colors better, even if I haven’t used them yet. (Maybe it just flew so low on the radar that everyone was looking at the fall collections and looking forward...
Aromaleigh v2’s first blush collection. Most of these are near-matte finishes with barely any glow - and I tend to like my blushes with a little bit of glow, so initially I only picked up one color. The range of shades is about as broad as the former Pure...
