Aromaleigh Lipstick Review

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I was sent the Aromaleigh Color Infusion Botanical Lipstick in Perfect ($6.95), and the Gothic Lolita Nourishing Color Creme ($6.65) in Lollypop and Melancholia to review several months ago, and I really like them.

The lipstick is moist enough that I don’t need to wear lipbalm with it, although I do have to reapply it every couple of hours. Since this is probably less often than I normally reapply lip balm, the frequent reapplications aren’t a big deal.

All of the lipsticks have wearable colors that go on sheer, but are buildable for more color.

Aromaleigh’s Color Infusion Botanical Lipstick in Perfect is described as a medium toned and wearable pink lipstick.

Gothic Lolita Nourishing Color Creme in Lollypop is cherry red, while Melancholia is a deep wine.

It’s fun to be able to wear colors like Lollypop and Melancholia, that I normally don’t wear because I feel like they’re too much for my pale skin tone.

With Aromaleigh’s lipsticks, I can apply the color until I get the shade I want, and I don’t have to worry about it being too dark.

It’s also nice that the sheer lipsticks don’t leave really dark lipmarks on my little Sweet Pea.

I’ve had to stop wearing almost all of my lipsticks unless I’m going out, because I don’t like getting lipstick all over her.

The only things that I don’t like about the lipsticks are the tube for the Gothic Lolita Norishing Creme - it’s like a regular chapstick tube, and I have to be a little more careful when I’m applying it so that I don’t get it outside of my lip lines, and the fact that I do have to apply it a little more frequently.

It’s not usually a problem but when I’m somewhere and I know that pictures are going to be taken, I hate having to disappear to fix my lipstick.

If you’ve tried Aromaleigh’s lipsticks, leave a comment and let me know what you think about them.

Hard Candy Ab Fab Baked Kal-eye-descope Baked Eyeshadow Duo Review

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

I got the Hard Candy Baked Kal-eye-descope Baked Eyeshadow Duo in Ab Fab ($6 at Walmart) to review several months ago.

Ab Fab is a pink and purple duo, and even though I love the colors, I was a little hesitant to wear it because I haven’t worn pink and purple together since junior high school.

Fortunately, the color is pretty enough, and goes on light enough that I felt comfortable wearing it in public.

The color is also buildable it for a more intense look if a darker pink and purple is your thing.

The color blends easily, and lasts well.

Unfortunately, since the shadaw was shipped for me to review, the top dome of the shadow broke off in transit.

I’m not sure if this would have happened if it hadn’t been shipped, but you might want to be careful, especially if you carry your shadows in your purse, or are planning on taking it on vacation with you.

Other than that, I really liked the shadow.

Have you tried Hard Candy Shadows?

What do you think about them?

How do you feel about them only being available at Walmart now?
