I did all the picture taking (of both packages) and swatching when i got home straight from vacation. It was night already when i finished it. I really got tired and my hands are shaking already that's why some pics are a little blurry. But i tried my best to capture the color. Some pigments are hard to capture and swatches really light like mallow, zinnia and candytuft while some shows off really well. By the way, I didn't use any base for this.

That's it,. It was fun and made my bed cover really messy...

Aromaleigh Spring Soltice 2009

Another package that arrived was the prize from Aromaleigh contest,. Im one of the VERY lucky winners.. When i arrived at the post office the officer said that (again) I'm lucky coz the custom officer just went out, had he seen the declared value of the package I'd be taxed.. The goodies alone costs a whooping $160.00.. wow, isn't it,. I wouldnt buy myself that in one go,.

So here they are...

If you'll notice it's only 21, its supposed to be 22 jars. It's bcoz Alyssum was not inluded instead a got 2 candytuft jars. But its ok,. should I complain, its just free anyweys,. more over my officemate likes the candytuft so i gave it to her.. at least i still have my own candytuft, hehe..

with flash

They do look yummy indeed..

Color description:

1. Mallow: Spring's first blush. The softest pale coral with shimmers of gold.
2. Heartleaf: The freshness of budding leaves with sparkles of violet.
3. Forget-me-not: The lush turquoise of petals, sparkling with magical turquoise sparkles.
4. Tansy: The deep golden color of closed flowerbuds, sparkling with blue highlight.
5. Jessamine: A walk through the Spring forest. Deep green and brown base with golden highlight shimmer.
6. Nasturtium: Dramatic neutral red, sparkling with highlights of pink sparks.
7. Phlox: A delicate, shimmering wash of pale silver grey with iridescent blue sparks.
8. Bellflower: A diaphanous violet purple tone, slightly sheer, with highlights of pink sparks.
9. Calendula: Warm mahogany brown with coppery sparkle shimmer.
10. Greenbrier: Lovely cool green with surprising sparks of blue, the color of the sky.
11. Alyssum: Soft frosty champagne pink with shimmer of green and blue.
12. Chicory: Rich copper with rose undertone, bright copper sparkle.
13. Hemlock: A complex, very wearable soft shimmering brown with undertones of green.
14. Lupine: Shimmering mid-tone smokey blue violet.
15. Candytuft: Petal pink with an abundance of violet sparkles highligting.
16. Trillium: Vibrant, but wearable fresh Spring green full of shimmering green sparkles.
17. Ondberry: A rich, softly shimmering eggplant purple with slight sparkles of gold.
18. Larkspur: Softly frosted lavender with a magical purple iridescence.
19. May Lily : My new favorite- the palest creamy greenish shimmer with sparkles of pink and violet.
20. Viburnum: Remember the coveted Le Mystere #69? The only Mystere that actually had a recipe? Well, this is it. The perfect marriage of cocoa brown and pewter. Softly frosted. Fantastic.
21. Godetia: Rosy brown shimmer with tiny sparkles of gold throughout.
22. Zinnia: So unique, this vibrant but soft coral peach turns into a blend of pinkish coral with a dominant violet iridescence.

I've already done the swatching for all these but im still to edit them so i'll post it next time,. Besides, I dont like lengthy posts so this will be for now...

Aromaleigh Contest

Aromaleigh is having a contest till the end of March, so hurry if you want these FULL SIZED sets of the Limited Edition Spring Solstice collection.

There will be 5 winners... click this link to see how to join,..

Dont we just drool on those pigmented eyeshadows,. I've been using their pigments on special occasions where i need a dramatic eye-do,. I love thier foundation too,. gives a natural radiant yet polished look,. Simply different,.

Aromaleigh haul

The foundie gives a very natural finish. The illuminator finishing powder is just so-so to me but am loving divine radiance.. gives the radiance or shiny finish I love. Metamorphosis is great too in brightening your face,. When im haggard in work I apply a thin layer of this and I look refreshed in an instant.

Cheek glisten is good as radiance. I don’t know but im not raving so much about Utra-resolution fin-pow… perhaps I’ll appreciate this if I’ll be having a major pictorial..

Like everybody’s raving the eye shadows are really worth your bucks,.. I got a sample of lollypop nourishing crème, nice enough,. Comparable to EDM glosses..

I’d sure be buying FS of their ES, blushes, divine radiance, metamorphosis. I’d prolly get a FS of URFP too for the sake of having one,. It’s a rave anyway…
