Blush Challenge and an all-Aromaleigh face

If you’re like me, you cannot skip blush. Without it, I look washed out and tired. So when I wear eyeshadow, I try to wear a more subtle blush, lest I end up looking like Kat Slater.
Today was an all-Aromaleigh face: Gossamer foundation, Tatiana and Swoon eye shadows from the Pure Eyes Frost collection, and Glazed blush from the Pure Rouge collection.

Just the right amount of color and shimmer so I didn’t look too overdone. Smooth, blends well, and I’m impressed with the staying power of Glazed, especially considering how oily I am.

I hadn’t tried this blush before, but it’s definitely going in the regular rotation.

Now on to the eye shadows. Tatiana – OMG.

I really really wish I was a better photographer because Tatiana is jaw-dropping. I thought it was just a regular old bronzey-brown color, a neutral with a kick but still work-safe but no. It’s breathtaking. Tatiana has green interference, so at different angles the color shifts and changes. It’s amazing. I wanted to stare at my eye shadow all day, but I had to close my eyes for that and then I couldn’t see it… I wore it over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy and I STILL HAVEN’T CREASED. We’re going on 12 hours. That’s miraculous for my oily lids. I am completely in love with this eye shadow.

Today’s foundation was Gossamer in 2Y. Gossamer is a good everyday foundation. Not too much coverage so it’s natural looking, but enough to make my face look smooth.

I’m so very happy that Aromaleigh has re-opened. I didn’t get to try too many of their products until they started shutting down, but I’m glad they’re be around for a while longer.

 

I'd love to hear from you
