I've been really enjoying these blushes. They are literally small pigment bombs, these little baggies of blushes are simply saturated with pigment. You need to sprinkle just a miniscule amount on a swirly bowl (like a salsa/condiment saucer) for one application. Using a regular blush brush simply wouldn't work because these are very pigmented and could give you clown cheeks. The best tool for these is a duo fiber or stippling brush, like the MAC 187 or any of its dupes and counterparts from different makeup brands. My favorite brush for this, however, is Aromaleigh's very own flat duo fiber blush brush.
I've already explained why I prefer this brush in THIS ENTRY. I love it so much that I have two of these that I regularly use.
Here's another group of shimmer blushes from Aromaleigh. I got these samples of Gothic Lolita Rouge blushes and I think they are very gorgeous. I think I like this collection a little better than the Rocks! Sonic Rouges, although I love the latter as well. These are not as pigmented as the Sonic Rouges but give just the right pigmentation. The shimmer is amazing and finish is smooth and application is a cinch using the Aromaleigh duo fibre blush brush. I used Rococo when I went to MAC store, and the MA complimented my skin and how glowing it was. I couldn't tell them I wasn't wearing MAC that day! =) Rococo is a beautiful peachy-pink blush that would look similar to NARS Orgasm (and I hated Orgasm!). I like Rococo 100 times better than Orgasm. Corset appears to be a deeper pink/mauve blush, while Dolly is a doll/cotton-candy pink. They are absolutely beautiful colors.

Hey Aileen! Are the Gothic Lolita Rouge blushes as long lasting as the Rocks! Sonic Rouge blushes?
Micah- I guess they're pretty long-lasting. I received the compliment from the MAC MA at around 1pm and I did my makeup at around 7am that day. It was still fresh and glowy after six hours.
I'm with you on Rococo being better than NARS orgasm. I also like Verve, too, which is AL's self-proclaimed version of the NARS Orgasm. I find Verve looks better on me than Rococo (not that Rococo looks bad). I LOVE Corset! I actually bought the largest size that it comes in and really love it. I just got another sample of Dolly so I can try it out again. The version of Corset that I have is a true red, and I really love it.
The Sonic blushes are great. Candy-O, Wildflower and Sinisterrouge are my favorites.
And I couldn't really wear blush before I found fiber optic brushes, because I looked like a clown no matter what I did. Now with the 2 I have (Meow's and AL's. AL's is my holy grail blush brush), I can wear it :)
I'm so glad you like Aromaleigh!
Thanks, Aileen!
