This is a bright pumpkin orange, rather than a “screaming neon orange”. It accents my eye color without being too orange (if that makes any sense.) I can easily use this for looks where I want to use fewer vibrant colors, but still want something with a solid color payoff. And, of course, it's got the same excellent spreadability, opacity, and adhesion that all of Aromaleigh v1's mattes have.
I held off getting this color because, while it sounded pretty, it was another pink...and by the time I started buying lots of Aromaleigh, I had a bounty of browns and a plethora of pinks. For one of these colors to catch my eye, it had to be something truly amazing (like <a href="/such/obsessive/addictions/aromaleighs_angelique/">Angelique</a>, which was an exact dupe for Define Beauty.) I inched closer to "on the fence" about...
This color reminds me a little bit of <a href="/such/obsessive/addictions/aromaleighs_planetearth/">Planetearth</a>, with the pink sparkle. This color is most definitely a deeper blue, though, with more of the pink-sparkle overtones. The base color is closer to <a href="/such/obsessive/addictions/aromaleighs_destinationunknown/">Destinationunknown</a>, but it's deeper still.
This color's deep enough and pigmented enough to easily be used as a liner - and you do get the depth of blue, and some of the sparkle, without as much fallout as Aromaleigh v1's Spaceoddity. This color was discontinued in 2012.
On August 23 2010, I went to downtown Seattle for an open photo shoot in support of the NOH8 Campaign. I was minorly concerned, as 1) I haven't done any photos other than my driver's license since my senior-year school photos; 2) I've never done an open photoshoot before and couldn't come up with intelligent creative pose ideas (until after the event, that is - of course); and 3) I'm generally about as dynamic as carpet lint. Still, this is important to me. While the...
When the promo pics for the Vintage Vixen collections hit the beauty- and nail-blogs, I almost immediately rejected the idea of buying Midnight Mission: not because it wasn't pretty, but because I'm more a fan of browns, oranges, reds, and golds…and because I have some lovely navy polishes already. So why add another navy, however lovely-looking, to the stash? It all seemed rather well thought out. And then I placed a second order for some polishes that I'd missed...
A lovely bright yellow. I held off on getting this initially, because I thought: “I've got Aromaleigh v1's Rocks! Sonic Eyes yellows, and I've got some bright yellows from other collections and companies; I don't really need another.” Apparently, I have little power to resist a really good primary color with a twist. This color has the rich sun-yellow base color, a good level of pigmentation, and the very definite red shimmer. I don't know if it's because the...
<p>I almost didn't get this color because while it looked like a nice gold-brown, I had enough neutrals.</p> <p>Or so I thought...until I saw this color swatched on a few blogs.</p> <p>In the same way that Aromaleigh v1's Erynne is the same color as my eyes, this is the same color as my hair (late spring / early summer, when I've started to get some sun but not a...
This kit included all the decades eye colors released to date…except 1970s. (No, I’m not sure why they did that.) I’ll also be interested to see if BE continues releasing decade-specific colors, now that we’re about to end another decade (2010s). (Update, 2012: BE was sold to Shiseido, who seems to be putting most of their focus on the new pressed colors. At this point, I’d be kind of surprised if they came out with more...
Sadly, this color was discontinued in 2012. (Sadly…because I like this particular shade of orange/brown eyeshadows because it really looks excellent with my coloring. I must be a minority!)
