Having not ordered any full sizes yet, I decided I better get moving and pick out what I liked. Here's my experiment with a few of the colors.

Moon on brow and inner corners
Butterfly Kisses inner 1/3rd
Ephemeral Violet outer 2/3rds
Flutura's Cloud crease, lower lashline
Soul Takes Flight vee, outer lower lashline
Black Cherry to line
UD 24/7 Pencil in Binge on waterline
Pomegranate rouge
Melancholia on lips
Other than my eyes, the other makeup was put on nearly 9 hours ago so I'm a bit blotchy and shiny.

Please excuse the brows - they need some big lovin'!




All but Butterfly Kisses made the cut. I just couldn't get that color to show on my lid - too close to my skin color perhaps.

Thanks for lookin'! Cheers

That's very beautiful. Purples look wonderful on you. Your eyes are particularly stunning here. Do they have amber tones?

I'm pretty new to Aromaleigh, so I was wondering - how long do LEs typically stick around? Are we reaching the end of Les Papillon's availability?

GASP! Better get buying, if that's the case.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot my question: do you think butterfly kisses would make a decent highlight, or is it as good as invisible?

Painted - First, thank you. I'm fairly new myself, but some LEs in my opinion stick around longer than others. I just figure there is a chance that this is the last time Les Papillons will be on sale before it goes away.

I've previously referred to my eyes as birch beer - I do think there is a bit of red (and sometimes yellow, maybe a hint of green every so often LOL) to them. Thank you for the lovely compliment. Us brown eyes gals don't hear the whole "nice eyes" thing very often. Wink

And yes, Butterfly kisses did leave a bit of sheen on my lid, not much color - I would imagine you could highlight with it. It's just not a color for me that I feel I need more than a sample of. Smile

Thanks Runaround!

Thanks for answering my questions! I love your everything and the kitchen sink description for your eyes - when I looked at the pic again, I see you're right. There is yellow and maybe green in there!

My 2yo came in and saw the pictures you posted. He said "oh, pretty!" And he likes the pup in your avatar. TeeHeeHee

I love the color combination! I especially like Flutura's cloud. I use Butterfly kisses above the crease I guess more as a highlighter. Sometimes the whites are too light.

I think your eyes are stunning! I love the color, I wouldn't know how to describe it, but I love it! Smile Big Grin

Thank you guys sooooo much!

And Painted, your son is just such a sweetie. Lord knows they speak their mind at that age so I'll take it as a true compliment Wink. My two never hesitate to give me their opinions - whether I'll like it or not! My avatar is the doggie love of my life, Rico. I'm sure he'd jump on your son and lick him to death (we're not good with the discipline it seems, but he'd never bite anyone). Smile

Oh man, that is TOO true! Sometimes I put my makeup on and I get a "pretty."

But sometimes, oh my... he looks at me and asks "what's that?" while pointing at my eyes. Those are definitely harsh words coming from somebody who can't even draw a pumpkin yet. Smile

He's a better critic than my husband, who I always get a "you look great" from, no matter what. lol
