Yesterday, I received a sample set of Aromaleigh's Astronomical collection to review on my blog (thank you, Miss K!). Since I hosted my annual cookie exchange last night, I was thrilled to have some new colors to wear for the evening. The three colors I chose for this look worked very well together and I'll be adding full sizes of them to my makeup collection very soon.
Dark Matter is my favorite so far. It's highly pigmented, shimmery without being overly frosty and feels rich and luxurious. To my eyes it has a mid tone taupe brown base with copper overtones and tiny aurora borealis sparkles.
The shadows are high quality and have great staying power. I feel asleep watching t.v. last night without washing my face first (I hate it when I do that) and woke up this morning with my entire eye shadow look still in tact.
For great descriptions of the entire Astronomical collection, click here to visit Tanya's blog, Easily Distracted. She's got a flair for describing eye shadows.
Here's what I did. . .
Eyes:
- Medium Aromaleigh shadow base - lash line to brows
- Dark Matter Aromaleigh Astronomical eye shadow - lid
- Big Bang Aromaleigh Astronomical eye shadow - crease, outer corner and underneath bottom lashes
- Milky Way Aromaleigh Astronomical eye shadow - to highlight brow bone and soften/blend inner corner
- Copper Aromaleigh Pure Drama liner - mixed w/ water and lined on upper lash line
- Black Black Wet n Wild coloricon brow & eye liner pencil - water line
- Very Black Covergirl WP Professional Mascara - lashes
Face:
- 2w/2yl Aromaleigh Voile foundation
- In Bloom Aromaleigh Perle' Powder - cheeks
- Clear Aromaleigh Ultra Resolution Finishing Powder - all over
- Copper Penny NYX Goddess Of The Night Lip Gloss (fyi: Copper Penny is NOT copper colored - weird)
3 dozen yummy cookies!
Chatting with good friends.
Oh it looks like fun! Sorry I missed it. :D
ReplyDeleteI love dark matter it's such and interesting color. You do a lot better than I do describing it. I hate when I fall asleep with my makeup on too, but isn't it great to know that your makeup will last like that?
The combo is soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! So shimmery and pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I love your hair and the color combo!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, and love the blouse!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. Thank you for your compliments on my makeup look and my hair. So nice of you to say.
ReplyDeleteLyndsey: You should have mailed your cookies in. ;)
Cin: Thank you. I love it too. I got it at Kohl's a week or so ago. I wanted to do a collage showing showing it but I couldn't find a photo (or something even close) online. It looks like it might be halter style in the front but the back is actually fully covered. It's sheer with a matching tank underneath (tank has adjustable straps). It comes in purple and black too. I think you should get one.
