Aromaleigh v1’s Alyssum

Aromaleigh v1’s Alyssum

Posted on Sunday, at

Alyssum is a soft beige (champagne) pink shimmer. It's lightly pigmented, but does have more color-weight than Mallow, a very similar color also sold in this collection. The color has a soft shimmer even when applied dry, so works well as a highlighter…but has the advantage over Mallow in...

Aromaleigh v1’s Mallow

Posted on Sunday, at

<p>Mallow is a very soft, light color. I've found that it needs to either be used as a highlighter or a glaze, or simply applied heavily and / or damp to be visible. It's a coral-gold highlight color, which is nice for ladies who want a highlighter that isn't...

Aromaleigh v1’s Zinnia

I forget exactly when I first looked at the page displaying the Spring Solstice collection, but as soon as I saw the description of Zinnia, I was intrigued. As soon as I saw the swatch of Zinnia, I knew: if I bought no other color from this collection at all,...

Posted on Friday, at

It did not look the yellow-gold shown in the photos of the kit. It looked more like - forgive the indelicacy - baby-diarrhea yellow-brown. The same color as cheap “brown” mustard. And it was a “glimpse”, to boot - which means very little pigment. (Given the shade, that might be...

This color is fairly lightly pigmented, for such a dark shade. Still, it stays in place fairly well.

TKB Trading's Pearl Pink is…well, exactly what it says on the tin: it's pink, with a pearl finish. It's a very light pink, so this works well as a glaze or a highlighter rather than an all-over or primary “anchoring” color. TSS' Spread a Little Light& has more of...

I got this color from someone who was looking to sell her pot — it was not a purple that worked for her. I got the pot, tried it, and immediately hit Ebay for two more. It's a matte color, it has a hint of red in it so it...

Superlightweight, near-white pink shimmer. Makes an excellent highlighter color, but not so great as an all-over color unless you’re using it to soften some colors.
