IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

I finally got to showing you Aromaleigh's Sol Invictus sample collection. If you didn't see the beautiful eye shadows that I swatched, you can see that post here . Today I wanted to show you the looks created using each shade from the collection.  Topsy Turvy, Saturnalia and Lua Saturni  Oscilla, Sigillaria and Luxuriae Maniae Opalia, Aureum and Lord of Misrule Sol Invictus, Unchained Revelry and Munera  The shadows were as good to use as they looked. So beautiully pigmented, yet buildable and blendable. Which look would you try?

The collection is described on the site as " We drew our inspiration for this collection not from the typical palettes of red, green, silver and gold that you are bombarded with during this time of year, but from the beauty and charm of vintage holiday images" Along with the eye shadows I had ordered, included in my order were 3 eye shadow samples.

Aromaleigh  introduced another eye shadow collection, Starry Nights . This collection is described on the site as "...a dramatic collection marked by vivid sparks of color and starry twinkle, inspired by some of the brightest stars in the heavens... and the rich history and mythology behind them.
