Mmmmm, I honestly figured that -- I didn't quite, ahem, buy into the brand like some people do. (Because, really? Mineral makeup as new, special and unique? Maybe five years ago... cough. Also, you'll remember, I've been around the subculture for long enough to remember her first companies.)
But the lippie looked promising -- the packaging was adorable enough to tempt me into hearing what others have to say about it, wholesale or not. Although for $16 + $5 shipping?
Honestly?
I'm starting to think my $2 Halloween Black is actually pretty highly pigmented.

Also, MAC's pigments have amazing texture. As so Aromaleigh's, on the cheap. I think I'll probably venture into learning how to press my Aromaleigh minerals here, shortly. I can decorate the heck out of a few palettes! I should take pictures of the awesome packaging I made for my makeups.
