Aromaleigh v1’s Celinette

Morgana Cryptoria’s LE #14 (Pink Violet)

I'll have an easier time working with this color than with LE #12. This color's a bit more of a blue-red base, and while LE 12 isn't truly an orange or russet base, it's just orange enough that it presents a bit of a challenge. This color will be a bit easier...

Morgana Cryptoria’s LE #12 (Peach Rose)

I ordered this color “swatch unseen”, so I didn't have much to go on besides the in-jar photo on the vendor's website. When it arrived and I opened the pot, my first thought was “...oh, damn.” It looked a lot like Aromaleigh v1's Pique, which looked a lot like...

Morgana Cryptoria’s Pharoah’s Curse

Morgana Cryptoria’s Ptolemy Auletes

I don't really have any other colors like this - not many that are this color of orange (certainly I have very few deeper oranges with this level of actual pigmentation, and surprise, those are from Shiro - BE doesn't make too many colors that are this well-pigmented) and none...

China Glaze’s BFF

Morgana Cryptoria’s Pyramid Scheme

I'll have to get out my sample and check…but I think this color may be a near-dupe for Infernal Chaos, from Aromaleigh v1's Victoria's Revenge collection. I would love that, because by the time I decided to buy fullsize colors from that collection, Infernal Chaos had utterly and...

Morgana Cryptoria’s Selene

I was drawn to this color for two reasons: the description “champagne beige”, and the color itself. It looked like it might possibly be a close relative of Define Beauty. It's a bit too neutral to exactly match Define Beauty, though it's a bit too pink to match Beyond Skin...

Morgana Cryptoria’s Senet

Morgana Cryptoria’s Cleopatra collection

I purchased five colors from this collection to start, and added others as I saw other swatch photos and EoTDs using the colors. I eyeballed Aspbite, because the brighter periwinke-ish blue appeals to me (even though I know I really don’t need any more blues) and Isis, because it’...
