Their Pure Shine Glosses arethe best, as well as their lipsticks ( review, in a week! ), and I'm just happy to have stumbled upon their Eyeshadow Primer and Base! With my dried out and nonfunctional Urban Decay Primer Potion that lasted a year on me, I was a very sad Beautynomist. It's like, my pet that died. It's so precious, and hard to find, and I couldn't get one immediately because it isn't available here. So, I was contemplating if I should get a MAC Shadestick, but the price just makes me flinch - I don't know why. Usually I'm not particular about the price of the product, since I'm always game for quality, I just don't know why in this case , I didn't feel like buying MAC anytime soon though I really wanted to. Here comes my package from Aromaleigh containing a whole lot of goodies, and the Eyeshadow Primer and Base caught my eye - they answered my prayers, for an eyeshadow primer! Whew! So that Saturday, I used this prior to eye makeup application. I used my concealer brush to apply this on the lids of my eyes, and it glided just like Urban Decay Primer Potion. Well, it also felt like the "glide" and consistency of Jane Iredale's Absence, only a bit thicker. After applying my eyeshadow, which colors showed up prettily ( even if it was just the boring browns! ), it was time to roadtest for the staying power and the crease factor. By the end of the night, I checked myself in the mirror, and voila! No creasing, and the eyeshadow stayed put. It looked like exactly like when I first applied it - to think that my lids are horribly oily (thus, nothing ever stays ), this is pretty impressive! Another thing is that I applied mineral eyeshadow in loose form - loose eyeshadows certainly need primers for them to "stick on" to to improve staying power. The product looks like it would last an entire year or more on me , considering it's in cake form. This product is really great - and wait, when I checked the price on the website. Holy smokes - $ 9.50? It's half the price that I would be paying for MAC, and it works just great! Definitely no tradeoff here. Yay!!! I'm a happy happy girl once again! Now, I've a new pet! It's my Aromaleigh Eyeshadow Primer and Base. For those who want value for their hard-earned money, this is quite a steal already! Also check out other Aromaleigh stuff here!
