Can't Wait for This New Aromaleigh Collection

Gaaaaah, I can't wait to try this new Aromaleigh Egypt-inspired eye shadow collection -- Ancient Magick. So many gorgeous neutrals for fall and brights for winter! Skin swatches and video will be released when they have some sunny weather! More info (and enlargement of colors and a link to a Pinterest board for the collection) is available here.

Why, Yes, I AM Actually Only 12 Years Old!

You have three more days to enter the Aromaleigh contest here :-)

Background: You all know by now that I am an absolute dork and geek, and I'm proud of it! I have no qualms about admitting publicly that I recently bought a kid's nail dryer from Avon because I thought it might make my one-nail manicure dry harder and thus last a bit longer. And it did:-)

Product: Avon Going Dotty Nail Dryer

Avon Going Dotty Nail Dryer

Where did I buy this? I bought this from my Avon rep, Lisa Wetherby (great rep BTW). It doesn't appear to be available on the Avon Web site any longer, but I found it on Bay. The seller currently has six of them available for $14.99 plus free shipping.

Price: $9.99 + tax.

Avon Going Dotty Nail Dryer in action, LOL

Performance: Excellent. I've never used a nail dryer before other than the only time I had my nails (yes, all 10 of them) done at a salon. Call me wacky, but I think the nail dryer actually dried my nails to a harder finish. My one-nail manicure often chips within hours of application, but my "nail" dried under the dryer lasted for a few days, plus it was more fun using this dryer than the traditional waving-my-hand-and-blowing-on-my-nail method (how's that for a mega compound adjective?). It takes a couple of AA batteries and seems to be holding up pretty well. You activate it by placing your hand on the little "platform" under the dryer head. It's obviously made for little kids, so the platform is pretty small. If I did  full mani, I'd probably have to dry half a hand at a time, which would be quite time-consuming. It's pretty noisy, so it doesn't work to use it while I'm watching the boob tube, but it's OK to use during commercials.

Packaging: Just a small brown box :-) Otherwise, no packaging or storage.

Recent single-nail mani with Confetti Silver Slipper and Wet 'n' Wild silver hologrpahic top coat with no chipping after three days!

If I lost, spilled, or broke this item, would I buy again? Actually, based on my experience with this little nail dryer, I would definitely purchase a real adult's home nail dryer. If I couldn't find a reasonably priced one, yes, I would buy this product again.

How Low Can You Go? Urban Decay Sale

Wowzer. Lots of goodies on sale on the Urban decay sale page here! If there was anyway I could even slightly justify owning more makeup, I'd be all over these. Free ship with $50 purchase s usual. Make sure it's true love. All sale items are final! Just to show a few of the items:

 

L'Oreal Chrome Shine Eyeshadow in Rose Mordore (Golden Rose) Over Meow Cosmetics i-Prime

Product (s): Meow Cosmetics i-Prime (scroll down page to view it) and L'Oreal Chrome Shine Eyeshadow in Rose Mordore (Golden Rose)

Where did I buy this? I bought the eyelid primer at Meow Cosmetics, and I got the L'Oreal Golden eyeshadow in  a custom-purchase/swap with Helen F. of BBFF* blog :-)

Example of opacity of i-Prime

Price: The Meow i-Prime was $7.50. The Golden Rose runs about 6.19 pounds (approximately $7.46 USD as of today's exchange rate).

Golden Rose under natural light (left = no primer; right = i-Prime)

Performance: i-Prime: I really like this product. As you can see in the pic above, it applies opaque and so provides "clean slate" over which to apply your eyeshadow. I don't know for sure since Golden Rose is such a light color, but this feature may help colors to apply my truly to what you see in the pot or pan. Although it looks so in the photo, it's not sticky at all. I abhor anything sticky on my lids, so I thought it was quite comfortable. It's firm to the touch like a medium-density balm, so you just have to glide your brush or fingertip over it lightly. At this rate, one pot should last me forever! L'Oreal Golden Rose: I liked this shade a lot. I can't wear any yellow golds on my lids, although I adore them, but this shade is neutral enough that I can pull it off. Although it barely shows up without primer (and thence might make a good brow bone highlight), it came up beautifully over the i-Prime. It's a good "go-to" color that would suit most any situation. I read in another review that a more pale rosy shade lies under the champagne-gold color, but this was not the case for me. If I try hard (LOL), I can see just a tad of rose mixed in, just enough maybe to keep it from being to yellow? It applied in a silky fashion with the applicator provided. Some of you may not like the applicator, but I think that a sponge-tip applicator is sometimes the best way to apply drugstore eyeshadows to get a thick, even coat of shadow.

Golden Rose under shady natural light. I actually think this photo shows it's true nature :-) (left = no primer; right = i-Prime)

Packaging: i-Prime: lidded pot; L'Oreal Golden Rose: standard drugstore pressed eyeshadow case with sponge-tip applicator.

Golden Rose under incasdescent light

If I lost, spilled, or broke this item, would I buy again? Yes and yes! The i-Prime is different enough from all  of the other similar nonsticky eyelid primers I've used (UPFF, TFSI, Art Deco) that it' sure to become a repeat buy for me (and to think I was just trying to get my Meow cart up to $50 to get free shipping [what a happy accident]). And the L'Oreal Golden Rose looks pretty with my hazel green eyes and is a wonderful, yet different, neutral. Most of my similarly colored neutrals are uber-sparkly, so it's light frost is a nice change of pace.

Overall rating: 5 out of 5 lippies for both products!

Eye Extravagaza Month (Coupons Galore) at Rite-Aid!

I'll cut right to the chase. Yes, Riteaid has all of these coupons (and more) for offer at Riteaid's Facebook page [see sample below]). They are good for the first 10,000 fans, and as of right now, only one coupon is "sold out." They all appear to be valid through 10/19/13, so there is plenty of time (and plenty of weekly sales) to use them.

You must click the "click for coupons" in a circle at the top right of the page for the coupons to work. Yes, you can stack these coupons with manufacturer's coupons, and your purchases count toward the Eye Extravaganza Up+ Rewards. And, yes, you can use these coupons on sale items!

Here's what I printed out:

• $1.00 off any Maybelline eyeshadow (hope they have some LE Color Tattoos)
• $1.00 off any Almay makeup remover (one of my staples)
• $1.00 off any Wet 'n' Wild eyeshadow
• $1.00 off any Wet 'n' Wild eye pencil
• $1.00 any L'Oreal mascara
• $1.00 off any Wet 'n' Wild mascara
• $1.00 off any Jesse's Girl eyeshadow
• $1.00 off any Rimmel mascara
• $1.00 off Physician's Formula mascara or eyeshadow
• $1.00 off Maybelline Volume Express Falsies of Falsies Flare mascara

Lots more brands and products are represented, but the above are probably the only ones I'll personally use. The coupons are about a half page in size, so I just rotated one page to print a coupon on the other page. Save some trees by seeing if your printer can/will do the same.

Shop on, people. Shop on.

Crush Cosmetics Eyeshadow Review

Product: Eyeshadow samples

Where did I buy this? Crush Cosmetics: Beauty With an Edge (feedback: 1298 [100% positive])

Indoor light

Price: I bought five samples for $5.00. The product amount in the samples was very generous; I'd say almost 1/4 tsp. However, the smallest sample set they have on the site right now is 10 samples for $10.00, so I don't know if the 5 for $5.00 is still available. Full sizes are $8.50 to $8.85 for a 10-gram sifter jar (holds 2 to 3.5 grams depending on the volume of the product). Petite sizes are $5.50 to $5.85 to a 5-gram jar (holds 1 to 2 grams).
Shipping is  $1.75 for samples, which is true to USPS cost for a small padded mailer shipped within the United States. YMMV depending on what you buy.

Performance: Reading left to right and top to bottom in the photos (swatched over Fyrinnae PE), I got Crush, XOXO, Vintage, and Vixen. The pigmentation of these shadows is BUCK, my friends. However, xxx was pure shimmer, very little base color, but when I packed it on over Fyrinnae PE, my lids were slammin'. It's a great color for green/hazel green eyes. I would say that overall, the shimmer of these shadows is fairly medium level: Not too glaring but not near-matte either. The colors are super-saturated. There are some pale shades available, but mostly every color looks "rainbow-soaked." Although the colors are "glowy," there's not much creativeness to them (e.g., duochrome, contrasting-color sparkles).  However, for such saturated, pigmented product, I really don't care!

Natural light

Packaging: My samples were in the dreaded long zip-lock sample baggies (product gets all over the brush ferrule with these [obviously I prefer the short baggies]). I assume that the jars are your average sample jar :-)

If I lost, spilled, or broke this item, would I buy again? Probably not, but just because I already have so many other shadows. However, I will probably buy more samples to try more colors. There are many new colors that I'm eager to try :-)

Psssst . . . . . Aromaleigh Videos of Lost in Faerie Revisited = Yum!

Believe it or not, this is my very first review having to do with Aromaleigh, which make most of my most beloved eyeshadows, the older of which many of which I am portioning off in my blog sale.

So, here is some Aromaleigh yumminess in the form of hi-res videos of the glimmering, shimmering sparkles in the new collection, Lost in Faerie (Revisited), which I happen to think is a brill marketing technique. I was not going to buy anything from the collections, and now I am. Presto! Chango!

There is a 25%-0ff sale on these colors on Aromaleigh Mineral Cosmetics site, and the sale ends Wednesday night a 11:59 p.m. PST. That give us East Coasters a little more time to plan a buy. Nevertheless, you might want to hurry up and order so you can get the shades you crave most!

Thanks to Aromaleigh for giving me permission to upload the URLs/videos. They should open for you in a new window when you click the URL. Written descriptions are from Aromaleigh. Do you see any favorites?

1. Odeane: Amazingly unique color! Chameleon-like . . . we can't tell if this color is golden, or pale blue, or pale green. It has golden shimmer and bright blue sparkles and changes in the light; it's a very delicate color.

2. Eolande: Beautiful purple with cobalt blue and russet sparks throughout.

3. Xantha: Beautiful buff coral frost with sparks of violet and gold. 

4. Raisie: Mid-tone lovely rose with mauve tones and loads of silvery sparkles. 

5. Tianna: Shimmering heathered lilac with grey tones and sparks of cobalt and fuchsia. 

6. Elfrydah: deep heathered russet with multicolor interference shimmer and bright sparks of rose and copper. 

7. Orlaith: Frosty rose copper with aurora borealis sparkles. 

8. Suelita: Pale rose with silver shimmer and copper sparks. 

9. Elvena: Muted cool green with silvery tones and bright gold sparkles.

10. Rhoswhen: Pale warm green frost with golden sparkles and shimmer. 

11. Sebille: Rich deep grape violet with brilliant sparkles of cobalt and sapphire.

Avon Dual-Ended Nail-Dotting Tool Plus Zoya Skye and Essie Blanc Nail Polishes

Products: Avon Dual-Ended Nail-Dotting Tool; Zoya Skye Nail Polish (OOP but available on eBay); and Essie Blanc Nail Polish.

Where did I buy this? The Avon dotting tool was from . . . Avon, LOL, and I got the Zoya Skye and Essie Blanc in separate Makeup Alley swaps.

Price: The Avon dotting tool was $1.99 (which might be a standard price; I don't know because I never actually went out and looked for this item), and both of the polishes were free (+ shipping, of course, for the swap items). However, Zoya Skye is OOP but can be had on eBay for $6.00 (see link above), and Essie Blanc can probably be bought from the Web site (see link above) or a CVS or Riteaid for about $8.00 or so.

Performance: Avon nail-dotting tool = This was the first time I've used any type of nail polish tool, and I thought my first try went very well albeit lame-o (you can see said lame-o results below):-) I've already stated my love/hate relationship with nail, polish, but lately I've been into doing my "nail," so for $1.99, I thought I'd give this a try. It has two ties: one with a teensy tip and the other with a larger tip. I used only the smaller tip. By the way, I have a super Avon representative who can be found here, and Avon usually has a lot of free-shipping specials. Zoya Skye = I used this for the base color. I'm nerdishly excited that I managed to get a perfect creme nail. I'm not a nude-nail chaser at all, but I thought this nude polish was pretty perfect with my skin tone. I''m cool-toned and pink-undertoned, so I didn't want anything that threw yellow on me, and this appears to be pretty neutral (although how do I really know since I haven't tried a lot of nudes?). I like it, but YMMV. Essie Blanc = If I'm scared of nail polish, I'm crap-my-pants terrified of pure white polish! I didn't have the guts to try this as the base coat, but I thought it would make a pretty summer nail over the Zoya Skye, so I dotted the Blanc over the Skye base. The results are lame but kin of cute-lame, LOL. However, now that I'm getting into shimmery/glittery top coats, I may give Essie Blanc a whirl as a base coat this summer. Don't let the blop of white toward one of the nail edges creep you out: It was my first time dotting!

Packaging: Avon dotting tool: standard plastic wrapping; Zoya Skye and Essie Blanc: standard bottles with standard brushes.

If I lost, spilled, or broke this item, would I buy again? Avon dotting tool: Yes; Zoya Skye: yes (assuming I could find it); Essie Blanc; no, but only because white polishes are ubiquitous :-)

Overall rating: 5 out of 5 lippies for each of them! 

Handmade Designer Soap From The Charming Frog

Product: Handmade designer soaps. Here's what it says on the home page: "I offer an array of handmade, artisan, designer, and sculpted soaps! I also offer salt scrubs, sugar scrubs, lip balms, bath fizzies, and room/body sprays. New designs are created monthly however, if YOU have a preference or want me to create a custom soap for you, please let me know and I would love to come up with a soap based off YOUR ideas, I can create soaps in any scent or color of your choice. Every soap has a destiny . . . to be used!" The home page says that the shop contains 281 items. That's a lot of soap!

Experience: I bought these as a gift, so I have not tried them (I don't use soap are anything with sodium laureth/laurel sulfate, but that's another post in itself), but I have not heard any complaints from the giftees :-) However, my experience with the seller was outstanding: the seller was courteous; the packaging was excellent; and the shipping was prompt. My impression when I opened the package was that these soaps were indeed worthy of gifting: They were beautiful and classy (see photos below) as well as lightly and elegantly scented (which I personally prefer [e.g., sage, lavender, nag champa, mandarin spice, white jasmine, etc.]).
Performance: Soapy, I assume, LOL.

Where did I buy this product? I bought these soaps at The Charming Frog on etsy.com.

Price: The soaps general range from $6.00 to $8.00 each with some price variation for larger-than-usual soaps.
Packaging: The package was extremely well-packed to protect the soap and was shipped promptly in time for gift-giving. I was a bit worried that some of the soaps might arrive "dinged," but everything was delivered in good order.

If I ran out of or lost this product , would I buy it again? As I said above, I don't use soap, but I would definitely buy more of these soaps to have on hand as "pop-up" gifts.
Overall rating: 5 of 5 lippies for beautiful and useful product, good customer service, creativity and crafting performance, and prompt shipping!

NYX Cream Eyeshadow in Chocolate

Experience: I really like this NYX Cream Eyeshadow in Chocolate, but I did not like it in Copper at all. The Chocolate color is a deep, true neutral chocolate shade: Not too warm, not too cool. The finish is extremely metallic, which is why I like it so much :-) Even without flash/daylight, it looks very glowy. However, the Copper, for my fair skin tone, had too much red in it (it looked like it had pink undertones in the store). I'm already ruddy-skinned, so the red tones made that all the worse. I applied this over UDPP.

NYX Cream Eyeshadow in Chocolate (with flash)

Performance: I recently read a few reviews that said this product was hard to work with because it dried too fast to blend, and it flaked off the eyelids. Unfortunately, I didn't read the review closely enough to learn the skin type of the reviewers. I didn't have either of these problems, mainly because I don't blend, LOL, and I have well-behaving skin (not oily and not particularly overly dry). Sorry I can't tell you more on this particular subject.

However, I agree with the previous reviewers that there is a lot of product on the wand when you pull it out of the tube. I didn't have any problem with this: I just put a blop of the product on my lids and just mooshed it around for full coverage. However, it was a bit tricky to get good coverage near my lash line. That may be a result of the cream texture and my lack of skills/experience with applying cream eyeshadow. YMMV.

Just for a lark, I put on a swipe of Copper before I went to bed last night, I was that confident of the staying power. Well, it was still on the back of my hand, still perfectly pigmented, when I woke up this morning, and it didn't come off until I had washed my hands a couple times during the day. I may were this product while swimming and let you know how well it holds up to chlorinated water!

Where did I buy this product? I bought this item at Ulta.

Price: The tubes are $4.99 each, but I got them on a buy-one-get-one-half-off sale, so $7.50 for two tubes.

Packaging: Standard tube with doe-foot applicator.  

NYX Cream Eyeshadow in Chocolate (natural light, no flash)

If I ran out of or lost this product, would I buy it again? Yes, I would buy the Chocolat again: It truly is beautiful if you like a metallic finish. I would also try more colors when they go on sale again. The color range is fairly limited, I guess because it's a new product. However, it's worth tying and persisting in application because the pay-off is beautiful! I'd like to try the Pinky Beige color next, and I hope they come out with a medium violet shade. Both of the purples they have now are too dark/too bright for my taste.

Overall rating : 5 of 5 lippies [the traditional Makeup Alley manner of rating :-)] Have you tried any of these eyeshadows? If so, what was your experience? If not, will you try based on this review?

Return of . . . THE NAIL!

 OK, here goes with the shorter review. PLMK how you like it, OK?

Background: Some of you might remember a post I wrote a while back about painting only one of my ten fingernails for various reasons, the main ones being (1) I don't have time to fuss with manicures because the nail polish chips within 12 hours; and (2) once it chips, in my mind it's ruined. So I do one perfect nail, and "wear" like a piece of jewelry. With lots of topcoat, it can last for up to two weeks with minimal wear. Here's a brief review on the items I used to create my textured "splatter" nail.

Product(s): One coats of  Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Pink Satin (actually a lavender shade), three coats of Sephora by OPI Nail Color in The Golden Age (large- and small-sized reflective gold and silver glitter), one coat of Wet 'n' Wild Wild Shine no. 4600 (holographic silver glitter), and one coat of Wet 'n' Wild Wild Shine no. 435G (tiny pink and red glitter).

Overall rating: Five lippies combined! Individually, I give the two Wet 'n' Wild topcoats each three lippies (not very good coverage alone), the Sephora by OPI topcoat four lippies (fair coverage in one or two coats), and the Sally Hansen polish five lippies (excellent coverage in just one coat!).

Where did I buy this? The Sally Hansen came from either CVS or Rite-Aid; the Wet 'n' Wild colors came from Giant Food Store; and the Sephora by OPI color came from . . . ummm . . . Sephora :-)

Price: From $2.00 to $4.00 each (I got the OPI color on clearance).

Packaging: Standard nail polish bottle for each brand (i.e., Wet 'n' Wild bottle is kind of square/rectangular; OPI bottle looks like a bullet, LOL; and the Sally Hansen bottle is a generic shape. The brushes were all OK, except the OPI and Sally Hansen brushes were the best.

If I lost, spilled, or broke this item(s), would I buy again? Actually, yes to all of them because I like how my nail came out! Plus the Sephora by OPI topcoat is very versatile!

Follow Me on Blog Lovin'

OK, gals (and guys?). I've decided to keep my blog open for now. You can follow my blog by clicking on Blog Lovin' button at the top right of my blog's home page. I'm trying to get onto feedly, too, but haven't figured it out yet :-)

Here's to a new shorter blog format (= more reviews and photos)! For your reference, my Blog Lovin URL is here, or you can still find my blog here on Blogger.

Seeking Blog-Transfer Advice

Hi everyone :-) I've been thinking of keeping my blog up but with a different format (shorter reviews, more swatch photos, etc.). This would make it much easier for me to keep up with. I've still been testing things and think, "Oh, I have to put a review up of this on the blog," and then I remember I said I was going to close it when Google Reader goes off in July.

Does anyone here have any advice they could offer me to transfer this blog, and my followers, to another server, preferably one that gets a lot of traffic? I don't know how to do that, and I don't have much time left to figure it out.

I *could" just start a new blog (and I might well do that if have to), but I don't want to lose my 84 followers. In fact, I hope to gain more with the new format. Does anyone have some ideas for me? You could put your ideas here, or you can email them to me at galgotcat@gmail.com. Thanks!

Blog Sale Is Back On :-)

The buyer I told you about in my last post has somewhat backed out of the purchase (except for a small batch of eyeshadows). She missed a great deal. So, everything back up for sale (minus the colors she is buying). Shadows are still BOGO free. You're welcome to buy as little or as much as you want (no minimums). Just know that if you buy very many eyeshadows at one time, my TAT will be significantly longer than just a few days:-) It takes a long time to make them up, and I work a full-time job, so everything has to be done during work breaks (I work out of my home, and my shadows are just a few rooms away, but I can't afford to interrupt my work to make up the eyeshadow batches; please be patient). And yes, I still ship overseas :-)

***Indicates new colors that have been added tonight.

Here's a link to the blog sale. Have fun!

Woot! Blog Sale Goodies Have All Been Sold!

Well, somebody pinch me because I must be dreaming!  First came a gal from Spain who bought about, say, 1/16 of my blog sale items, and her package shipped last week. Then came a gal from the Netherlands who bought all of the remaining items except for the nail polishes, LOL. It's a blog sale proprietor's dream come true! I gave her a good deal for taking it all in one fell swoop. I had jokingly intimated at that possibility in the initial post but never thought that someone would take actually me up on it. Oh, it's going to be like Christmas Day when the package arrives at her address. Whoo to the hoo! Aromaleigh goodness! May God bless you, you cat-owning Aromaleigh collector :-) May you enjoy everything in good and happy health! My makeup spring cleaning is ON!
