I started out with the idea of wearing orange and purple shadows, then considering the shirt I’m wearing, I really wanted to do orange and red, so I compromised with red as the bottom liner. Maybe tomorrow I will do orange and red. It’s still the season for those colors on trees! Normally, in my wildest dreams, I wouldn’t have ever tried an orange on my eyes, but Aromaleigh colors are just fab, so I knew they would be spectacular, if I’d just get up the nerve. I figured I’d choose my lashes later. I’d pick the red tinsel ones, but one lash has mysteriously gone to sock heaven. Hopefully it will turn up!

Eyes, after my usual base
Inner Lids: AL spread your wings les papillons
Outer lids: AL ephemeral violet les papillons
Lower drylined: AL crimson mimicry les papillons

As predicted, this is very pretty:

Spread your Wings: The gentle earthy orange of the Monarch Butterfly, but rich with metallic splendor, vivid color and sparks of pure silver.

I’d worn both of these colors before and know I love them. Crimson is beautiful as a lower liner, and gives just the needed pizazz, but I don’t think you can see it very well in the pictures:

Ephemeral Violet: A cool frosted metallic purple with strong finish and sparks of copper flash.
Crimson Mimicry: Rich frosted metallic smooth true red with sparks of coral, red and gold shining in the sunlight.

Lashes: Witches Charm Sorceress — these are the top lashes of the set and very spiky. They remind me of the crown on the statue of liberty! This is my first time wearing them, and I like them a lot. I wasn’t sure if they would look like I was missing some lashes, or if they would be too wild for everyday wearing.

There also are bottom lashes, which I might wear for top lashes. On one upper lash, there is some glue overspill from manufacturing. I didn’t try to remove it. Never had that happen before, so I will definitely check before I buy.

Lips: Tony&Tina Cosmic Deva (wine with wine and multi shimmers)(very smooth on) + WetnWild (deep red with bright red shimmers) (Halloween one year — this is gritty feeling on)

I hope you are having a good day!

These are pretty colors! I think if you look at all the pictures you can see how pretty the glitter is on the lashes.

Eyes
Over my usual base product:
Inner lids: AL glowing luna les papillons
Outer lids and dry lined lower: AL vigil of change les papillons

Glowing Luna: A pigmented warm green yellow… or yellowish warm green? You choose. Sparks of copper and pink add an ethereal dimension.
Vigil of Change: Intense deep cool purple with smokey metallic undertones and golden highlights with pink sparkles.

Review
Lined lower: 01 Milani crystal eye limited edition — this is sparkly with gold flecks on your lid without much color even if it looks as if there were, but on my lid without any other product the glitter felt scratchy — I like it better as liner, used more thickly so the color shows. The glitter in the package looks sparked with blue and green. I expected silver sparks from looking at it in the store. I’m not unhappy I bought it, but I think the ads are photoshopped to show more spark. I will use it for liner. I used it over the top of shadow yesterday (another way they recommend it) and it deepened the shadow a bit, but didn’t give much spark.

Edited: I returned the one I bought. It looked purple in the container but had basically no color, and while it says it is buildable, it would have to be too thick to show. Plus the glitter is sharp, at least on my eye. After it had been on a while I didn’t feel it, but at first I did. I much prefer the rocks! collection from Aromaleigh. The second time I used it to line with, the line was too thick.

Lashes: Top lashes from Witches Charm Enchantress set (black with silver glitter tips) — These are so pretty and elegant! This is the first time I’ve worn them. The bottom lashes are similar to the ones with the red tinsel lashes. I trimmed almost 3/8″ from the width at the outer end of the lashes.

Blush and highlighter: Arbonne

Lips:
MAC Flashmode + Money Honey, one on each lip, smooshed

I hope you are having a great day! (All products were purchased by me; they were not given to me to review.)

Well, after yesterday’s horrible lashes, these are real beauties! I didn’t trim these at all, but I think I could take some off the width.

I do not know why they stick so ridiculously to the packaging — I actually ripped a 6/16 section out of the center of one of the lashes getting it off the packaging. I attached the lashes as usual, including the bare strip, then glued in the section I ripped out. It could be that it was because they had sat in the packaging so long. Cripe!

Pictures were taken 6-7 hours after initial makeup.

Inner lid: AL Unicorn l’orchidee
Outer lids: AL Tangle root l’orchidee
Lashes: Ardel Romantic — have double staggered layer of crystals
Lined lower: Moss (green) Arbonne pencil

Tangleroot: Earthy lush green with cool dimensional shimmer sparkles.
Unicorn: Palest yellow luster that phases to a cool blue highlight.

I wanted to choose colors I might not usually wear (the yellow). I can wear greens like this, but I expected it to be more flat avocado (and therefore less wearable for me.) Together these are quite lush. Unicorn looks like a soft orchid on, and not yellow at all. And the green is almost, not quite a cool green, not a yellow green. Don’t be fooled by the color in the ziplock!

Wild Lashes by aiibeauty.com
These are really weird lashes (Halloween again) and they bothered me all day because I felt self-conscious about them. No one remarked negatively about them, but I felt negative. The silver doesn’t show up from a distance, so it looks like half your lashes fell out, LOL!

They are too long for my own lashes, but I don’t want to trim them back. My 14 yo liked them, even though they are long.

The interesting, way cool part is that underneath the silver picks up the color of the outfit you wear (so they might pick up the color of your hair on top.) In the sun with the shirt I was wearing, they were a gorgeous, iridescent, radiant copper from below.

I loved the Aromaleigh shadows. I especially loved Orinoco! I didn’t take the pictures until evening, so it is more muted than it began as my hands were up by my eyes fiddling with the lashes.

Dragon: Fascinating green, muted in tone but with a smoked base and pearl luster.
Orinoco: Soft peach lustre that reveals a satiny borealis iridescence.

Wow! I really had fun with this one! Sometimes serendipity really comes through for you. Still working through all the samples I purchased. It’s fun to have enough that I just put the colors on the counter and pick 2 or 3 I haven’t used yet that I think will go together. Serenade pulls more blue/violet on me than teal (how it looks in the ziplock) , at least when used with Coppelia.

How to place the lid colors
First, I couldn’t decide which color to place on my inner and outer lids. So, I thought, why not do both? I figured it might be fun, and today wouldn’t matter. Surprisingly enough, it is not weird, it is beautiful. I didn’t really like the first eye, but when I did the second, it was just super. I have never done this before, but I might do it really often!

Eyes:
Base: Nude Frost + BE Queen Phyllis
Alternating inner and outer lids: AL serenade + AL coppelia en pointe
Drylined lower: AL serenade

Serenade: A color inspired by my favorite ballet. Beautiful smooth teal plush matte base with a lush violet iridescent highlight. (Sheen)
Coppelia: A lovely berried plum plush matte base with a dimensional smooth violet highlight. (Sheen)

Mascara: Sapphire Cover Girl
Lashes: Witches Charm Temptress Tentatrice Black with Red tinsel! I bought these one Halloween, might be two years ago from Walgreens or CVS. They have quite an array offered online still, and they aren’t terribly expensive. These came with top and bottom lashes. update: I used them as upper lashes the next day.

No blush, only Chanel stick rouge under my sparkly mix of powder, over one of my usual primers (Smashbox purple today) and foundations.

Lips: MAC Love Alert + Arbonne Delicious, both glosses, one on each lip, smooshed

What do you think?

I’ve posted my tutorial about the false lashes.

To show the glitter line of the lashes:

Eyes:
Base: Nude Frost + BE Queen Phyllis
Aromaleigh shadows
Center of lid: Clara en pointe
Outer corner and crease: Pique en pointe
Inner corner and drylined lower: Arabesque en pointe

Interesting how all the different shimmers work together, and you really can’t tell by looking in the ziplocks.

Arabesque: A refined bluish green with highlight shimmers of green and gold. Multi-facted and rich frost. (Frost)
Piqué: A lovely mauved purply brown with light-changing lustre, travels from purply-blue to blue-green. (Sheen)
Clara: Festive warm purple with a twist… an unexpected smokey base and a sweet blue and pink traveling iridescent highlight. (Frost)

Mascara: Stiletto Black
Lashes: Ardel Glamourous Lashes – black with glitter along skin edge
I wanted to try something really different, not just plain lashes as I used to wear. Why not!
Upper Inner Lid lined to match into lashes: White glitter gel — I might put some on the lower later.
Upper Inner Lid beneath the glitter and lower tightlined: MAC graphblack — doing this beneath the glitter made the line of the lashes blend into my own eye.
Lower Tightlined: MAC Navy Stain pencil

Lips Borghese Chilled Wine
This is a pretty color in RL, more luminescent than the picture shows. I prefer more of a gloss look. I should have used 1/2 gloss, but was going for more of the lash thang. It matches the shadow color though!

One major advantage of false eyelashes is that you can extend your eye shape.
Remember if you do this, you have to extend the liner and the shadow too.

False Eyelash Application
False eyelashes are very easy to apply once you know how. For years I wore them daily, then I got out of the habit, when it seemed newer and fresher not to wear them. Now they are back in style again, though I have to say in my RL, I was the only one I ever knew who wore them.

For a couple of years I’ve been buying lashes, but never took the time to put them on. But really, they don’t take that much time.

What kind of lashes
Buy what you like. Try inexpensive ones first until you get the hang of it. There are some fabulous, exotic lashes, very expensive, which I haven’t tried yet. But I always put in a stash around Halloween because there are some with metallics and glitter now. Sephora has a number of really exotic ones by different brands.

Here’s how I do it
It doesn’t have to be done in this order, but this works for me.
Order of Application
Shadow base
Shadows
Curl lashes
Mascara to set curl in lashes so they blend into false lashes
Your false lashes will last longer if you do not put mascara on them. — I apply mascara first as I don’t want to mess up the false lashes. Plus it sets the curl in your own lashes so they blend better. You can put mascara on after applying the false lashes and weave the false lashes into your own with mascara, but why bother. Your false lashes will last longer if you do not put mascara on them.
False Lashes
Liner — applying this last lets you blend in the lash line, if you need to. Alternatively, you can apply it first and touch up again after, if need be.

How to apply
First, trim the lashes to fit your eye.
Remember you can always cut more off; you cannot put any back on. So I will often wear them untrimmed for a couple of days to see if they really are too wide or long at the outer edges or not.

If you are trimming the width, you might lose a hair or so at the cut edge, and over time, if you wear the lashes a lot, you will also lose hairs from wear and tear. So trim less than you think you need. You can always trim more.

If you do not trim them properly, usually the inner corner (or outer, or both) will pop up by the end of the day.

Usually they are precut to be shorter on the inner and outer ends, the way your own lashes are. This morning I trimmed the right eye accidentally to be the left, but in this pair of lashes it didn’t matter. I generally just trim off some of the outer end.

Because today’s lashes are so pretty, I’ve kept the end pieces. You can always trim these into individual lashes and apply one at a time. I have never done that on myself. I have always used a full strip.

Trim the length down, if necessary
Only do this if you have to. I use cuticle scissors, but I only do this if needed. Sometimes cutting the outer edge off to fit my eye, means that those last few lashes are very long, then I will trim them shorter sometimes.

Remember to stagger how you cut them. Make some longer, some shorter. Try to imitate how they were cut originally.

You can trim the whole lash, but it is easier to buy lashes that you like the look of.

Apply glue
Apply the glue to the end of the lashes, not to the bottom. When the lashes are shipped, the glue is on the bottom so it fits into the holder, but you do not want to glue the lashes to your lashes. You want to glue the lashes to your skin. Otherwise you will lose some of your own lashes every time you remove them.

Let the glue sit for a minute or so until it is tacky. You will learn how long to wait by how wet your glue is. If it is wet, it won’t adhere.

What kind of eyelash glue
If you are sensitive, you will find that some eyelash glue bothers you and some doesn’t. Andrea glue works good for me. Try what comes in the package of lashes.

My personal preference is to use eyelash glue, even if the lashes are self-adhesive. I have more control.

Apply lashes
Center the lash approximately where you want to apply it. Stick the center first, then do the outer edges. I have to hold the inner edge longer for it to adhere better. Though, today, for one eye I had to hold the outer too. It is easier to use a toothpick or the back end of a brush to press the corner in, rather than using your finger. You can direct it better.

Open eye
All colors will be listed at my FOTD.
