Aromaleigh Discontinueds, Part 1
Jun. 7th, 2015 11:15 pmJust a few quick takes on these three shades, most still available (at fairly steep discounts) but only through the clearance site and not for very long. I got these in little plastic tubs rather than the bags, so no "in bag" description:
Amalia - On dry it's a thin, shimmery medium periwinkle blue with some pinkish sparkle (I probably didn't put on enough). On wet, it's a medium steel-blue with a slightly smoky undertone and a frosty sheen; the sheen is a bit iridescent, with some teal and pink in there along with the blue. On over primer, the smoky undertone is more pronounced and the sheen is sparklier. This is actually probably a good blue for me, with both the greyer and more teal tones. This might go very well with Juno, too.
Nadalina - This was remarkably consistent in its dry, wet, and primer applications. The undertone is a warm smoky raisin-grey (the website claims it's pewter, but it's warmer than that on me), with a matte deep mauve midlayer and a sprinkling of iridescent glitter, mostly pink and blue, on top. The top layer comes through clearest on the primer, but honestly it's pretty clear in the dry application. This is a little dark for a day color on me, but I love the shade and it'll be fine for evenings.
Trance - I apparently got this one just in time, as it doesn't appear to be listed anymore. The dry application is all metallic sparkle, mostly brassy but with some bronze and even coppery sparks. The wet and primer applications have a deep olive-drab undertone under the metallic shimmer, which becomes almost a foil - still mostly brassy, with the copper being more pronounced at certain angles. The only difference between the wet and primer applications is that the undertone is browner in the wet application and a little more towards olive green in the primer one. The image on the website is much more olive-green; not sure if that's a formulation quirk, a quirk of my skin chemistry, or a lighting issue (it's greener under the cooler lights in the kitchen than it is in my study, but still not as green as on the website).
