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.)

I love the gleaming eyes! I especially love it that you do this with so much heart. I adore Aromaleigh cosmetics (I own over 600 eyeshadows, I do a lot of film makeup, photos, etc here in Utah) and Aromaleigh performs the best. So I love seeing another AL fan!
