EOTD with Aromaleigh Hi-Fi Retro Mattes
Whenever I use AL samples I just get bummed out knowing that when I run out, that is IT sir!
The other day Mindy did an awesome look using her Aromaleigh matte shadows, and it inspired me to play around with some of mine today. I just got my MAC Wonder Woman stuff delivered today, and it inspired my look a little bit. The black liner against the yellow shadow reminded me a little bit of comic books, and I used a sheer red gloss to go with it, although it shows up looking pink in the pictures. I'm going to do a full list of products I used, for once!
What I used:
Eyes-
Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer
Aromaleigh's "Real Gone" on lid
Aromaleigh's "Smokin'" in crease
High Voltage's "Feel The Heat" to highlight
Maybelline "The Falsies" mascara
InColor (aka Jordana) FabuLiner in black
Urban Decay's 24/7 liner in "Zero"
Face-
Hard Candy's Sheer Envy Primer
Jane Be Pure Mineral Skin Perfecting Sheer Foundation
Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer
Benefit's Erase Paste (under eyes)
Revlon PhotoReady Powder (don't really like this much)
Physician's Formula Mineral Glow Pearls (not a fan of this either)
Cheeks and Lips-
MAC blush in "Mighty Aphrodite"
elf blush in "Gotta Glow"
Urban Decay Ultraglide lipgloss in "Heat"
You can ignore the fact that I got gloss on my teeth...
It's been about 10 hours and my eyeshadow still looks awesome. I credit this partially to Concrete Mineral's awesome eye primer, and partly to the staying power of these shadows. I really love how the Mighty Aphrodite blush looks on me- I think it looks really natural, which is funny because I naturally flush a really bright pink.
To wrap it up I want to say hi to my new followers! Thanks for stopping by ^_^ I would LOVE to do a giveaway to celebrate +350, but until I find a job I really can't afford to do so. Hopefully I can get one soon so I can do a fun giveaway (and go off my own no-buy, bleh).

ReplyDeletexoxox
I thought the glossy teeth was the best part! haha jks. I really like that yellow. I wish I could wear bright yellow looks like this one, but I don't think yellow suits me much; looks great on you however :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! and I just used AL's What's Shakin' from the Hifi Matte Retro something collection :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow with your brown eyes!! xox
I don't have the full set of Hi-Fi Mattes, but I honestly haven't used any of my samples. I would be happy to drop them in the mail and send 'em your way, the few I have. :)
ReplyDeleteI love matte yellow! Pretty :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I can't wait to get my hands on Mighty Aphrodite. The yellow looks beautiful, so bright :)
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow eyeshadow, it looks fab with the black liner :)
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow! So very few people can pull it off and you do it so well!
ReplyDeleteThat matte yellow is sexxxxaaayyy...
ReplyDeleteI love how it looks so nice with this primer !
ReplyDeleteI vote we do a small giveaway for a full-size of our Electric Eye Primer to celebrate! Email me at concreteminerals@gmail.com when you get a free moment! :)
ReplyDelete@ConcreteMinerals... that's an amazing idea ;) Got the eyeshadows, I really need the primer now :) x
ReplyDeleteReal Gone is one of my favorites from that collection (from which I never managed to get a full size, in ANY shade :( ) so I try not to use it so I don't run out :P
ReplyDeleteI love how the yellow and black look together!!! :D:D
I love it!!!!! Matte yellow rocks!
ReplyDeleteI just double checked my collection, and I have samples for 8 of the Hi-Fi Mattes, including Real Gone. Since you entered my contest, if you win I'll tuck 'em in with your prize, or if you don't I'll pester you for your addy and send them your way anyhow. Considering I haven't used them yet, I don't think I will; I'm not a big matte fan, anyhow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yellow!
ReplyDeleteOh! I love the bright pop of that yellow! I'm nearly out of my UDPP...might have to hop on over to concrete minerals :D
ReplyDeleteDo you know if the CM primer holds up on super oily lids well? In my experience UDPP is the only primer that's worked for me, but if I can help a fellow indie company out I'd much rather buy from them!
Love that yellow! &Love the look on you!
ReplyDeletethe look is gorgeous :)
