SN Lippies and Sack of Random Stuff!

I got my latest order from Silk Naturals today! Just gotta love those ladies for super quick shipping even with a large volume of orders during a sale. :))

I got 2 Black Label L/G (Prelude and Symphony)... 2 of their Organic Vegan Lip Sticks (Fashionista and Rapturous)... and 6 Vegan Kisser Slicker L/G (Bisou, Bobbi, Carnation, Cultured, Daydream, and Figment).


I chose Darling as my free L/G. And I may have mentioned how excited I am about getting a dozen lippies for my birthday coz I found an extra L/G (Birthday Suit) in my package with a handwritten "Happy Birthday" comment from Karen, Susan, & Jamie. Isn't that sweet?


I also grabbed a "Sack of Random Stuff," which includes a full size jar of Sandstone Eye Color, a full size tube of Casual Red Lip Color, a mini eyeliner brush, and a mini tweezer! Not bad for 75 cents, huh?


Here's a closeup of Sandstone, a light peach with a subtle shimmer.


And Casual Red is not as brown as it looks in the tube. It's actually a very lovely toned-down red.


Truly... when I first saw this in the tube, I thought, "Wow! That's... truly bright and red." LOL! I didn't think I could wear this one, but it's very sheer and pretty.


Here's Casual Red (left) and Truly (right). It just goes to show you that you can't judge a lippie by how it looks in the tube.

Discontinued Aromaleigh Lippies!

Aromaleigh is discontinuing all their lip products, so I placed an order for the ones I wanted to try. They weren't discounted, so I decided to finally redeem my rewards points to get 30% off (before the rewards system change again).

I got 8 Color Infusion Botanical Lipsticks: Coquette, Crush, Darling, Gossamer, Nuance, Sassy, Tender, and Vivid.


The only color I really like here is Crush, which is a lovely muted red. Neither too red nor too brown. The rest look okay, but not what I expected.


I also got the Gothic Lolita Nourishing Color Creme for Lips: Lollypop, Melancholia, Pinafore, and Wallflower.


These colors are so pretty. My only complaint here is that the Lollypop I received looks and feels waxy.


I also got the New! Eye and Lip Primer (which was a last minute purchase, so I didn't realize I was getting a tiny jar for $10), Eyeshadow Primer and Base, and "Indelible" Eyeliner Sealant. I can't wait to try these! :)


I chose Girl's Night Out, Late For Work, and Return To Tiffany's as my free eye shadow samples. I also received a free sample of fallingfromgrace, which I love and already got a full size of.


In retrospect (ahem), I probably should not have placed this order. I already have way too many lippies (if there is such a thing). And to be honest, I prefer Silk Naturals' formula better, which is much softer, creamier, and more moisturizing. So, I'm not that sad about the discontinuation of the AL lippies because I've already found something better. However, with the changes in sales/promos, rewards points, and the attitude (not the best customer service in my opinion), I highly doubt I will order from Aromaleigh again.

More pink brushes!

Forever Female had a 50% off sale a few weeks ago. And while I didn't really need any more new brushes, it was for a good cause, so I placed an order, and these arrived a couple of weeks ago.

From L to R: An Angled Eye Shadow Brush, Angled Eye Liner Brush, Flat Edge Brush, Double End Smudger Brush, Large Retractable Powder Brush, Retractable Blush Brush, Retractable Kabuki, and a Fiber Optic Kabuki.



These are the "Ultimate" brand. Possibly the best brushes anywhere in my opinion. They have the finest and softest synthetic bristles.
