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).

  2. 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 :)

  12. Real 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

    I love how the yellow and black look together!!! :D:D

  13. I 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!

  14. Oh! 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

    Do 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!
