That blush is really pretty!! I was on board with the NM green blush haha. Happy you ladies got it! I may try and sign up for the next box, but I am unsure.

Out for delivery still.  I think my mailcarrier made a New Years Resolution to sleep in on mornings and do all the work in the afternoon!

 

[kawaiisofoxy]

So pretty!  I am all about that blush!  

 

[yousoldtheworld]

Okay, home to properly play with them and the blush is gooooorgeous <3

 

[yousoldtheworld]

OKAY, I know I'm all over this (sorry) but I'm just excited.

I had to play with them a little, so here's a quick look I did with everything except the sample baggie of blush (since I'm already using the main blush).

IT'S ALL PERFECT. I think this could easily become my favorite sub.

Hello ladies,

I'm new to this thread. I've never tried any indie brands before and today made my first order from Aromaleigh. Do you all use primer before apply their loose shadows? I think I've used once loose shadow in the past from diffrent brand. So not really familiar with loose shodows either. I was also interested in the monthly subscription. Is it of the first come basis? Is shipping included in the 15 dollar charge.

 

[rachelshine]

@ it's SOO pretty. And sparkly. And I want it on my face NOW!!

@@yousoldtheworld, GORGEOUS <3 And what are you actually wearing?? It looks badass!

Welcome! I use a primer (shadow insurance or urban decay) and then either Pixie Epoxy from Fyrinnae or Foil Me from Glamour Doll Eyes. The second product not only helps the shadow stick, but also brings out all the sparkles! 

Subscriptions are $17.99 including shipping. I'm not sure if she has slots open for February, but you will be able to sign up on her site if there are. I'd follow on Facebook for updates!

OH ALSO, when using loose shadows, pat them on rather than the normal swipe you'd do with pressed.

I'm going to do a full face with all these pretties tomorrow. But I must say, the lip sample is so gorgeous in person. It looks orange in swatches, but on your lips is a frosty gorgeous color so don't be scared of it.

That teal shadow is going to be a fast favorite. And the blush!!!!!! And I'm all about highlighter. This is going to be an amazing sub!!!!

Hello ladies,

You should always use a primer under shadows, indie or commercial.  Generally whatever primer you get the best results with will be fine with indie shadows too.  Some indie companies do make their own primer, but I love my NARS so much that I have never bothered to sample them.

There are two additional mediums that help with indie shadows.  The first is a type of a glitter glue.  This just helps the glitter from indies stick a little better.  Elf makes an inexpensive glitter glue, which will be the easiest to get (but is also my least favorite).  Other options are Pixie Epoxy from Fyrianne, Glitter Glue from Darling Girl or Glitter Fix from Glamour Doll Eyes.  I would not recommend Pixie Epoxy for anyone just starting with indie shadows as it is the hardest to blend with.  I have a slight personal preference for Glitter FIx over Glitter Glue, but both do a good job of keeping the glitter on, and still letting you blend a little.  When you apply the glitter glue you should wait a few seconds for it to get "tacky" before you put your shadows on.

Foiling mediums are the other good thing to have in your arsenal.  These are great at helping to pick up the shift in Duo-chromes, intensifying the color or using to mix with your shadow to make an eye liner.  These you can either apply directly to your eye and immediately put the shadow on top, or you can mix a tiny drop of the medium with your shadows on a clean surface (don't use the inside lid of your shadows, you don't want to introduce bacteria into the jar when you put the id back on).  I have a strong personal preference for Foil Me by Glamour Doll Eyes, but Superstar Serum by Darling Girl is another option.

Notoriously Morbid is also coming out with a prep product, they included a sample in my last order, but I have not tried it yet and can't remember if it was a glue or foiling medium.

The bad news is right now it is a little hard to get these products.  Glamour Doll Eyes is currently out of stock on both items (waiting for containers, should restock this month).  When they restock though, shipment is usually within 24 hours of your order being placed.  Darling Girl is currently closed, but should be reopening soon.  They have a super long turn around though.  It has been 4-6 weeks before they ship my orders.

@@Shalott I am glad I gave up this box to you, but I am maybe only slightly regretting it a teeny tiny bit) haha I am just going to stop looking at all the swatches now.

 

[Shalott]

@@MIKAGlam Ha ha, if @@BSquared doesn't kill us, we can switch back? I appreciate it soo much, and I am super excited but you had first claim, so I think the box remains yours be rights. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I haven't even looked at any spoilers yet, LOL, so maybe I'll regret regretting that you have regrets - LOL. I just wanted to be alliterate. :lol: Just say the word!

 

[MIKAGlam]

@@Shalott absolutely not! I am still more than happy to have given it up to you!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

She's raffling off one of the 1st boxes to be purchased since the person who signed up for it didn't pay. So I entered. That blush is really the only thing I like, but I have an insane amount of blushes as is and I only use 2. I just like pretties.

Edit: I was just generously given the blush. I am so excited! *-* Teal sparkles! Yesss. Thank you!!!!
