From the Aromaleigh Website (my comments in italics):
Color Descriptions:

1. Aphrodite- A lustrous melange of soft prismatic rainbow hues. While every color of the spectrum can be seen within Aphrodite, it has a pink/purple tinge. Reminds me of Fourth of July. I see a lot of red, blue and silver in the bag, but the pictures show more of the other colors. It is truly a myriad of colors and is dark, too. Lovely.

2. Delilah- A deep teal glitter with shimmers of black, pewter and aubergine. Mysterious, sophisticated. Dark black teal glitter. Very nice, and yes sophisticated. Miss K's description is lovely and perfect.

3. Salome- Crushed rubies, garnets and marcasite. This deep blackened red glitter embodies the femme fatal. I was hoping they would come out with a blackened red glitter and they did! Thank you! It's red and black and beautiful all at the same time.

4. Morgaine- Magical earth glitters in verdant deep greens and shades of autumnal leaves and sunsets. Rich, deep and complex. This glitter embodies fall, pumpkins, fall leaves, green, black. Fall perfection.

5. Mata Hari- The glittering vivid romance of warm turquoise seas and brilliant flora in hues of fuschia and magenta. More turquoise than fuchsia with some dark/black to make it deeper.

6. Scylla- Amber, glittering dark emeralds and shards of ebony create this intoxicating dark blend. Amber? Check. Emeralds? Check! ebony? Check! This is lovely; interesting color combos.

7. Ishtar- The deepest lapis blue, most regal violet and red hot dimensional glitters shine with intense dimension in the colorful Ishtar. Blue, purple, red, black and perhaps silver are what I see in this blend. It's lovely.

8. Cleo- The Kajal of glitters. Tarnished, blackened bronze, rich and shimmering. Works magic at midnight. Lovely. Black with gold/bronze flecks. Very Egyptian.

9. Eve- Eve evokes the shimmering beauty of the flora, fauna, skies and waters... entwined into one never-ending play of light and colorful glimmer. Silver, turquoise and fuchsia. Very light and ephemeral. It sort of separates in the bag, so as you can see in the swatch, you could get a flash of fuchsia or teal.

10. Carmilla- Carmilla tempts the shadows with vivid blood red made fanciful by facets of pinks and fuschia. Deep and intensely irresistible.I thought this was just one color in the bag, but it's lovely!! Red, pink, fuschia. Love it.



I had a lot of trouble deciphering between Ishtar and MataHari on my hand but I got it figured out.

To get these swatches, I put cream moisturizer on my hand and didn't rub it in all the way, then using the non-scoop end of the tiny scoops Miss K sells, I dipped it into the glitter then wiped the stuff that stuck to the stick onto my hand. There are lots of pics because from different angles and lightings they looked different. Smile Hope that you guys enjoy it! I know I did!

Thanks for the swatches! I was already excited about this glitter collection, but now I'm even more excited. Smile

I love my makeup bold, and while I think neutrals look good on others, I hate them on myself.

I'm glad you ladies found these helpful. The swatches on the website are too dark for my computer, so I hope these look good. I tried to make them look as good as I could.

I plucked mine out of the mail yesterday, I am sure they've been in there for a day or two...

My favorite right now is Morgaine just because it's so Fall!!! I want to do this week's challenge with it... I better get on that! Smile

My second favorite... I think Delilah. I don't know why; probably because it's so simple!! Smile
