Aromaleigh Greens...

I have to say that I am a freak for green eye shadow. I can't seem to get over it. I want to use it everyday but I feel I need to mix it up a bit so I do use my other favorite which is purple. I have tried so many greens. I have to say that hands down Aromaleigh has the best green pigments I have ever used. They are so pigmented and give me exactly the depth of color that I want. When Miss K was having her butterfly hunt with the prizes I ended up winning Rooftop Garden from the Hot in the City collection. I was blown away. That is the most awesome color of green I have ever used. That by far is my favorite. I went ahead and ordered Zephyr's Breeze from the Les Papillons collection. It is also a gorgeous green. It looks great with Rooftop Garden.

Does anyone else have a love for green.....Which is your favorite!!!

So love pink and purple!!!

Happy Saturday everyone. I haven't had a lot of time between house work and running back and forth to school for any kind of blogging. Plus my camera was out of the state. Today I had a chance to play around with a bunch of different brands. I love everything so I try and mix my looks up with different brands. I have so much that I have to. I love trying new companies and existing companies I haven't tried. Here is my mixology today....

Over that I applied Aromaleigh Ephemeral Violet

Crease Aromaleigh Romance

Over that Aromaleigh Psychocandy

Highligh Aromaleigh Fawn

I then took Aromaleigh backinblack and went on the outer vee and into crease and else drew a line in the very inner crease.

I blended it all out.

Lined top and bottom lash line with Stila Smudge Pot in 14Kt

Went over that with a black shadow from the Stila loves Barbie set

Did inner lower lashline with a neutral color from the Stila loves Barbie set

I also applied some Heavenly Naturals in Honesty on inner corner of lid and up to start of brow

So, that was a lot today...I like to layer colors when I have time and I want to use what I have. I have some more stuff coming soon from About Face and Fyrinnae. I am so hooked on purples. The bolder and brighter the better. I love the deepness of some of the purples. What are you loving lately and do you like to layer colors?

Aromaleigh Les Papillons Colors

Yay....I got my order yesterday of some of the new Aromaleigh Les Papillons colors...This is a really complex line of colors. I really like the texture of them and they look so so pretty outside too....Awesome...Here is what I did with some of them.

First did crease with crimson mimicry

Highlighted with air and light

I went back over the crease again with crimson mimicry

I am loving crimson mimicry. It looks so bold in the baggie but is simply amazing on the eye. I couldn't wait to use it. I have to say these are amazing. If I buy any full sizes it will be crimson mimicry. Only one but money is tight....Did anyone else get any of these amazing colors. You have to give them a try!!

I was so excited to receive my goodie bag from the contest I participated in on Aquaheart's Obsessions in the mail today. I received some awesome products and a great big thank you is in order. Don't forget to check out her blog and right now you can enter another one of her contests!!!!

Weekend....

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. We spent Saturday in Chicago. My daughter Jules will be 6 next Saturday the 19th. My daughter Justine who is now 18 had started a nice collection of the American Girl dolls. Her Godmother and Grandmother bought her everyone so needless to say Jules inherited these. She wanted a doll of her own to pick out so we took her to the American Girl Store downtown Chicago in Water Tower Place. We had a lovely day and to my amazement Jules did not want everything she saw or even have a meltdown. Pretty unusual. She picked out Elizabeth who is best friends with Felicity and we bought an outfit and some other accessories.

Then on to me. I knew for the fall I wanted a new handbag and some ballet flats. I love fashion but my taste is so expensive and I have a poor mans budget so I never get what I see so I settle for what is useful and affordable. Usually everything I pick up from shoes to jeans is a minimum of 100.00 to 300. Can't afford that ever so we stopped at H & M. Chicago has the biggest I have been in. 3 or 4 stories. I actually found what I need. Ballet flats for 14.00 and a gorgeous bag for 24.00. Perfect. They are even in my favorite color. So now I am so excited to get them out and use them.

We ended the day at our favorite restaurant the Hard Rock Cafe. My husband plays the guitar so this is fun for him. U2 was in town for a concert at Soldier Field but didn't get to see them around.

We had a great trip and will be heading back for sure at Christmas time but I am sure before that....

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. We just hung around and did house things. We don't really like to do picnics so we went out to dinner instead. Well, lets get to the look. I tried some Aromaleigh samples I have and this is what I came up with...

I also got my hair cut. We went shorter. I have a wonky ear that sticks out so it is hard for the hair to lay on that ear but other than that I really like shorter hair on me. I feel it makes me look younger. Sometime I will be getting it colored. So what colors did you wear and how was your long weekend?
