The other day I was watching YouTube videos, and came across a burgundy and purple eye look that I wanted to do my own version of. (I *think* it was by Tiffany D, but I watched enough videos that I can’t be sure.) Unfortunately, I was so thorough with my blending brush that the burgundy [...]
I was bored last night and I decided to play. My friend Jen told me to do blue when I was being wobbly in our chat about not being able to decide, so naturally I did what she asked! (Please forgive the hair…my bangs need a serious trim, and everything was just extra limp yesterday [...]
Woke up this morning to the news that Aromaleigh is closing in the next few weeks. It seems sudden to me, especially if you scroll down and read the news from the 26th, but on the other hand, there have been clues. The forum was closed a few weeks ago, and the online presence was [...]
And I think I might have erred on the side of too subtle!
Only eyes today. Foundation and I are having a rather tempestuous relationship, and I think it may be because I haven’t found quite the right summer moisturizer for my skin. Also, my hair is truly scary. I’ve discovered that a flat iron is [...]
You’ve probably already seen swatches of these, and in fact the swatches you’ve already seen are probably a lot better than these. This is the new Aromaleigh eyeshadow collection Victoria’s Revenge, and Kristen was kind enough to send me a sample set to review. (My first PR samples! So exciting for a wee blogger.)

I got new glasses last Thursday (technically I’ve had the frames for a while, but I’d been using them for reading glasses, not everyday), because I’ve had to confront the fact that I need…bifocals. At 31! I got progressive lenses, which are actually taking quite a while to get used to. The new frames are [...]
I wanted to try something a bit new Friday, and bright eyeshadow that I actually left the house in seemed to be just the thing. It also gave me an excuse to try out some of my new Rocks shadows. What I came up with was a bit on the 80s fashion side, but thanks [...]
So, about that Aromaleigh order I mentioned the other day….
Yep, it came today. Turns out I ordered two pots of agentorange somehow, but only one is pictured here. (A little tip: don’t order anything when you’re tired.) I haven’t put any on yet, or even swatched any. Been too busy just looking at them. (And [...]
OMG YOU GUYS. Probably everyone knows that Aromaleigh Rocks! shadows are being reformulated and the remaining stock is on sale for 40% off. But did you know that they are also part of the current 2-week sale, and are an additional 25% off until April 30? (Disclaimer: I waited to post about it until I’d [...]
When I first started this blog, I warned you that sometimes I would “fail in an epic way” and then blog about it. Here is one of those epic ways.
This is one of the better pictures, so it may not look too epic, but trust me, it’s bad. If I want to make Aromaleigh shadows [...]
