Aromaleigh Opulent Lustre Collection Review & Swatches

So I've touted the awesomeness that is Aromaleigh before. You know, the huge amount of colors to choose from, weekly sales, pigmentation benefits... Well, Miss K sent me a cute goodie bag filled with fun stuff to try out for you girls! I was totally shocked (did not expect so much)! I'll be reviewing the Opulent Lustre Collection first, then a few others. This post would be huge if I did everything at once! Plus it's already taken a couple hours to write, edit, swatch, etc!

Side note- I do all of my swatches the same...Patted on dry with the same Aveda brush

Another side note- Check out the shine even without flash! Individual color thoughts-

Tapestry- The much requested "black lustre", this is a rich, frosted black with an incredible depth of color and pigment within.

My thoughts- This was the first shadow I swatched...I was not that impressed (thats why I was totally shocked on what was to come!). On me, it comes out as more of a dark reddish brown shade. Very pretty, but nothing special.

Mandarin- Fresh verdant green with Opulent molten metal effect.

My thoughts- I was literally AMAZED when I swatched this. Even dry, this comes out creamy and shiny like metal. Insane. (The rest of the colors I swatched are like this one-creamy, shiny, delicious!) A must have color! I'm definitely picking this one up!

Lotus- Cerulean blue, silvery and smooth.

My thoughts- I wasn't planning on liking this one. I'm not a blue fan. BUT it swatches as a beautiful slightly grey-green blue with a silver sheen. Very unusual and not at all like your momma's (or at least my momma's) 1980s blue shadow!

Lychee- Deeper rose-brown raisin shade that shines!

My thoughts- This one has less "shine" than the rest, but a very pretty slightly pink sheen to it. I could see this working on ALL skin tones as a great every day color.

Imperial- Cool true purple that glides on with the Opulent's metallic lustre.

My thoughts- Perfect description! It is possibly my favorite of the bunch. Goes on a bit lighter than the rest, but has a gorgeous shine to it.

Ginger- Slightly warm medium beige, but with a shock of metallic appearance when applied.

My thoughts- A very marketable color! This is something I could see on anyone. The lightest of the bunch, it is a perfect every day beige. It's not too warm, even I (the cool colored gal) can see myself swiping this on when I want to look good quickly.

Fig- Not your basic brown, this has hints of rose and gold, and is luscious and metallic when applied.

My thoughts- I had the highest hopes for this color and it really delivered! Less "red" than Lychee, it is a perfect slightly rosy brown with wet-look sheen.

Azalea- Heathered soft pink-lilac shadow, but vivid with metallic sheen.

My thoughts- Exactly what the description said! Anyone who loves pink should have this color.

Dragonfly- Luscious turquoise-teal shade, glimmering like the colors of a Dragonfly's wings.

My thoughts- This color is more on the "green" side of teal and has a powerful silver sheen to it.

Overall thoughts-

All in all, I was shocked by the creamy shine of the Opulent Lustre collection. I couldn't believe that the colors came out so metallic when they were dry. The only color that I didn't like was Tapestry, but all the others were beautiful. My must haves are Mandarin and Fig. Luscious! The Opulent Lustre collection is $7.75 for a full jar, but watch for the weekly sales and you will be able to get them even cheaper!

I did my EotD with these colors in the next post to see what they looked like on the eye, so make sure to check that out too!
