So since I just bought a bajillion pigments from Aromaleigh, it's just right that I use them, correct? =D Here are a few looks using some of the pigments. All eye products are Aromaleigh unless otherwise specified.


Fox foiled on lid, Copper on outer V, and just a tiny bit of Rock Bottom on crease and outer V. I used MAC Maid of Honor shadow to highlight, MAC Ostentatious fluidline to line, MAC Graphblack technakohl to tightline and on waterline.

I used Buff'd mineral foundation in a 50-50 mix of Chamois and Almond, Bare Escentuals mineral veil. For blush I used MAC Eversun beauty powder blush with Aromaleigh's illuminating perle powder in Incandesce on top. I used MAC Spice lipliner, MAC Half-N-Half lipstick with Sugar Trance lipglass. I tried doing the eyeliner flick but it only made me look like I have deep crow's feet. Blecch. Better luck next time for me.
I used Swampthing foiled on lid, MAC Summer Neutral eyeshadow, a bit of Holy Grail, and Moonaged Daydream. I used MAC Cloudbound eyeshadow to highlight, MAC Blacktrack fluidline to line, and MAC Graphblack technakohl to tightline and on waterline.
I am wearing Meow Flawless Feline mineral foundation in Naughty Abyssinian. I am rediscovering how unbelievably smooth-looking Meow is, and how perfect it is for hot summer days because the feeling is so light, it seems like I'm wearing no makeup at all. I love the matte-but-not-flat finish, and it has over 70 shades so one is bound to find a match. I used DreamWorld creme topping in Butter (silk formula), and CARGO blush in The Big Easy. For my lips, I applied MAC Slimshine lipstick in Scant.


I am wearing Sunshine on inner to mid-lid, Lazysod on mid to outer lid, Estranged above crease, Endless Sea on crease blending with Lazysod. I used Sunshine on inner lower lashline and Endless Sea on outer lower lashline. I had MAC White Wheat shadow on browbone, and Indelible gel liner in Endangered to line upper lashline. I used MAC Graphblack technakohl liner to tightline and on waterline.
I used Dayna's Minerals foundation in a blend of G2 and P1. G2 is my winter foundation but it has been too light on my skin for several months now. I decided to use it with P1, and I believe this is a much better match. I used MAC Beauty Powder in Pearl Sunshine, Blankety lipstick and Pink Grapefruit lipglass.
I am currently loving summer dresses with knot details. Here is a view of the yellow dress I am wearing (got it for cheap at Forever 21 for 15 bucks or so):
I didn't take a picture of the blue dress I was wearing above, but it has a pretty knot detail as well. I bought it at Ann Taylor Loft. I found a picture of it online:

Yay! I'm glad to see you lovin' Meow foundation. While I love all things AromaLeigh, I still prefer my Meow Inquisitive Siamese (or Sphynx, depending on my mood as both of those match me) Purrfect Puss foundation. I love your reviews and your FOTDs. Endlesssea looks great on you!

I love the green and yellow with the yellow dress-I haven't really seen this combo on you, and it's beautiful!
06 July, 2008 08:55Hi! You are so gorgeous in yellow summer dress !!! The eyeshadow colors are also good match on it. By the way, I sometimes wear MEOW foundations of FF. I bought some more to take use of the sales of July 4th !
06 July, 2008 09:09I LOVE the green and yellow look on you. Gorgeous!
06 July, 2008 09:46I love these looks. The green and yellow combo is my fave. And that dress is gorgeous!
06 July, 2008 11:10decorative diva- I've been a long-time fan of Meow, but I got sidetracked by new MMU's I've tried. I just discovered AL's pigments so I've been collecting like crazy. Loving your looks too at the AL boards.
07 July, 2008 12:04yellow fever - thanks hun!
c and gio - thank you! Yellow and green is my favorite combo, I don't use it often, but since it's summer, I think I should be using it more. :)
nory - thank you for the compliment. =) You reminded me to get some Meow foundations for a good friend who's been itching to try Meow. I tried it on her once and she loved the finish and the ultra-light feeling. It's just perfect for the intense summer heat here in the desert.
07 July, 2008 12:06i love the lip combo in the second look!
07 July, 2008 18:07Have you tried Beauty From The Earth? I have seen videos about them all over youtube and I want to try it.
