I didn't get a decent picture with my eyes closed (boo). I really like Blaze, it's an amazing coppery brown that has this metallic sheen to it. Amelie is a very soft peachy sort of colour with a hint of stiny shimmer. Delicate Bronze is sort of a lighter and non-metallic version of Blaze. It's the sort of colour that it's very easy to use. I'm not a big fan but it worked well with this look. I don't hate it either, it's just so ordinary that I neither love it or hate it. A very neutral colour in every sense. The pigmentation is gorgeous though, as with almost everything that Aromaleigh comes up with (I've only been disappointed with a handful of Aromaleigh stuff and with my makeup collection, that's nothing).
And this is how I look when I do my makeup after shower and decide not to do anything with my hair :D Also the sun was shining directly at my eyes.. Yes, very lovely :P
When doing makeup with brown or bronze shades, it's usually best to have something pink in it, too. I mean, if you decide to use browns for your face and you want to use a bronzer instead of a blush, you should use pink lipstick or gloss for your lips. I decided to use a bronzey lipstick from Aromaleigh so I opted for a pink/coral blush. I think it balances out the bronziness and gives a nice pop of colour.
I've come to love Aromaleigh's Nourishing Color Creme. They are very easy to use because of the twist-up lipbalm container. The formula is very moisturizing and the colour stays on for quite long, too. Also the price $6.65 makes it very affordable. I already have Sweet Tart (mauveish) and Cakewalk from the 4 new colours but I think I might be getting Shortcake (pink) at some point.
Hope you have a nice and sunny weekend, too!

You look pretty :)
What eyelash curler do you use?
I've been tempted to look for a heated one. I have a Sonia Kashuk one currently.
These colors look just amazing on you!
I have a sample of Blaze but it looks so "scary" (read: too warm for me) that I haven't tried it yet... But after this I might finally try it :D
Phyrra: Thank you :) I use Shu Uemura eyelash curler. I hate that they don't sell them in Finland. Getting a genuine one is such a pain!
Nea: Blaze looks like it's going to attack you in the baggie *lol* But it's actually quite lovely. I say go for it! :D
Sigh, so pretty, I really like how the copper is a subtle contrast to your eye color. I'm really loving your lashes also.. mine are simply unworkable, haha.
Kim: Thank you :) I haven't been using copper shades for a long time so it was a nice change :)
My lashes are completely straight and I have to curl them all the way and use waterproof mascara. Otherwise they just hang in front of my eyes.
I'd rather have a sunless weekend 'cause that's the only way I can have breakfast in a park too (lol).
And wow, this look's pretty :). I normally wouldn't think of wearing liner with this colour! Thanks for the idea ;).
Saila, sounds like my lashes too :D Typical Finnish ones? LOL
Thank you, Cris :) I almost always use black liner because my lashes are almost colourless and if I use black mascara without a liner, it just looks incredibly weird! :D
What I hate about breakfasts in park on sunny days is that I have to cover myself with spf because otherwise I'll just burn.
Nea: Yeah :D But why is it that most Finnish guys have the thickest and the most naturally curved lashes? That just doesn't make any sense! I once got my lashes permed and that was a BIG mistake. Never again.
"I once got my lashes permed and that was a BIG mistake. Never again."
LOL I can believe that :D I once tried a perm in my super-straight hair and results were... interesting! I looked like a sheep :D The hairdresser said "oh no, this shouldn't have happened". I agree :D
I also love Shu Eumura eyelash curler+ waterproof mascara!
Same here. I'm pale, so sunny days are just annoying >_<.
And I'm kind of jealous of people with light lashes because they can wear them dark or light. I can't really make mine look pale :( unless I use the white-pigment-on-mascara trick.
