Blush Challenge – Aromaleigh Dalhia and Avon Golden Wine Nails

Blush Challenge – Aromaleigh Dalhia and Avon Golden Wine Nails

Today’s blush was Dalhia from Aromaleigh. Now this, this is what I wanted for a fresh-in-from-the-cold blush. The Aromaleigh website describes it as ““Dahlia” Rouge is an enticing wearable warm red on the verge of being neutral in tone.” It made me look like I’d just returned from the ski slopes, ready for a steaming […]

When Aromaleigh shut down a couple of years ago, I went nuts on the clearance sales and hauled big time, including 7 blushes. I felt so pretty wearing this blush today.   It’s very bright, and I’m light, so […]
