I ordered some colors from Aromaleigh’s Holly-days collection, as well as Starry Night. When I received the colors, I was eager to wear them, so I threw together this look.
Shade Descriptions:
Glisten’in! – warm gold, softly metallic frost with hot sparkles of gold and pink.
Midnight Mess – the darkest purple-indigo toned black with frosted pewter tones and a myriad of sparkle that defies the rainbow.
I was actually quite disappointed with Glisten’in! You know by now that I love gold. I thought I would absolutely love this shade, since it has pink sparkles and it’s metallic. On me, it reads as orange, or a very orange-toned gold. I don’t see any pink sparkles. I did happen to like Midnight Mess a lot. It blended out nicely, and when I went back to pat on more of the color, the purple was pretty visible. Of course, I adored Miuccia, which I used as my highlight.

Hello Cotton
Even in colors you don’t love, you manage to look beautiful.
Thank you <3
I agree with lunableu! Your eyes always looks stunning!

Thank you
I actually like the gold on you. To me it looks more like a mid-tone gilded camel/caramel shade. With Midnight Mess above it in the crease, it really brings out your eye color
Aw thanks Lisa!
Looks gorgeous! It really looks more orange than gold, but it’s still very pretty

Thanks Nea,I think so too!
The highlight is super pretty, and I loooove that dark blue in the crease! If the gold had been more… golden, I suppose, I could see the look popping even more! Do you have Sugarpill’s Goldilux?

I do
Very pretty, but I’d agree Glisten’in is not what I’d expect from the shade description Aromaleigh gives- it almost looks like an orchre to me. If course, you make it work!

Yeah I was surprised that it was more orange than gold, to my eyes.
