I'm so excited to be blogging about this!
Aromaleigh has come out with a new permanent collection of shadows....40 OF THEM!!!! WOOHOO!!!!! They're called Ignis Antiquita (Ancient Fire I believe...) And each shadow is named for a woman out of history that has a story that's not often told...and one that is full of interesting tidbits! They're all gorgeous....they're mutlichromes, meaning that there are multiple layers of beautiful color within each shadow. Each one is wearable for the day to day but are so complex that it's really hard to describe each one! I'll have a post soon of them all swatched in various lighting to show how different they look. In the meantime, here's a LOTD with two of them!
Eyes:
Tarte Clean Slate 360 Creasless 12 hour smoothing eye primer
Tarte Smouldereyes in Silver Black on lid

Clothilda dry over inner 1/2 of lower liner
MAC Blacktrack on upper lashline

This is inside. ;) LOOK HOW LONG MY HAIR IS!!!! It's almost to my bra strap!
Outside. Forgive the squinty eyes....I was trying to get the shadows to photograph so was looking into the sun.
Face:
Hourglass veil primer
AL Silk Primer Powder
AL 2YL Dewdrop Foundation
AL Glamoured powder in Triteleia
AL Pure Rouge in Aurora

Couple observations....I went through some health issues around this time last year, that meant my skintone looked VERY yellow. Sigh. Now that I'm better I thought the 2YL may be too yellow but these pics, especially in the sun, tell me otherwise. YAY! It pretty much matches exactly. Also I never really pay attention, but you can really REALLY tell in these how much weight I've lost....WOWZA!
Look for my swatch post very soon! Thia
I'm a professional in the beauty industry and a makeup junkie.....happily married with 2 dd's and a plethora of pets! I have very sensitive skin that is oily and acne prone. I LOVE color....hair color, makeup, you name it!

Yesterday's MAC look....New Pigments!
So yesterday I decided to do a deep taupe eye. Yep, again, neutrals! WOW I've been wearing them a lot recently! I got a lot of complements on it and loved the way it turned out!
One of my favorite MAC pigments is Blue/Brown. It's a duochrome and it changes in SO MANY ways depending on what bases you use with it! I used it in my crease and over my lower liner, and I used the new Daphne Guinness pigment in Nebula on my lid. Here it is!
All products are MAC except where indicated.
Eyes:
UDPP in Eden
Bare Study Paint Pot all over
Nebula pigment on lid
Vapour on browbone
Spiked on brows
Blacktrack to line
Blue/Brown pigment in crease and over lower liner
Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara
FACE:
Hourglass mineral primer
Mary Kay mattifier on T zone
Studio Fix Fluid in NC20
Studio Fix Powder in NC25
Mineralized Skin Finish Natural in Medium
Buff Blush
Lips:
Oak liner
Honeylove matte lipstick

Sorry about the picture quality, my cameraphone is hit or miss and I still don't have a new digital camera. Sigh....

Thursday's UD Look....Dramatic PINKS and a new Foundation.....
This was my FAVE look of this week!
My foundation is different too. I bought a small Sephora haul this week, but this was prior to that. I had a sample of Too Faced Amazing Face SPF 15 Powder foundation that I hadn't tried yet, and used it on this day. I'm planning a comparison post to compare it to NARS powder foundation.
Eyes:
UDPP in Eden
Indelible Cream Shadow in Bare Necessity on browbone
Indelible Cream Shadow in Carbon on lid
UD Blackout on lid
UD Vanilla on browbone
UD 24/7 liquid liner in Perversion
UD Junkshow in crease
ELF Volumizing/Lengthening Mascara
Face:
Hourglass Mineral Infused Primer
Meow Equilibrium Powder
Too Faced Amazing Face Powder foundation in Warm Vanilla
MAC Dame Blush
Lips:
Shiseido Lipstick in Almond Pink
Shiseido Gloss in Cafe Creme
I got lots of complements this day on my makeup and my hair which was funny...I've been debating on going a little darker again, and asked about 10 people if I should and to a person they said "NO STAY BLONDE!!" I even got some extra complements from people who I didn't ask that volunteered that I should remain blonde. SO Blonde it is for awhile I guess!!! LOL.....
Be sure to look for my haul post from Sephora as well as my foundation comparisons! I'm going to try to get them up by tomorrow but it may have to wait for next week. Have a FABULOUS SATURDAY!!!
