Aromaleigh Spells Collection

I've bought a friend of mine the full sample collection of Spells as a Christmas gift. She's not the type to wear eyeshadow often, but she adores Harry Potter and is always saying she wants to pick up makeup samples, I figured this would be perfect for her. This collection is more muted then other Aromaleigh shadows, the colors will appeal to her and flatter her coloring.

Oh course I couldn't help swatching them to see that they look like before wrapping them up for her. Heather lent her arm for the the occasion, this is how I'm gonna swatch makeup from now on, so much easier to take a picture of someone else's arm then it is my own.

From left to right we have:

• Serpensortia: Greenish gold with purple sparkles
• Aparecium: An ultra pale gray green/blue with gold shimmer and rainbow sparkle
• Priori encantate: Rich brown with silvery green shimmer and rainbow sparkle.
• Morsmordre: Blackened indigo with rainbow sparkle
• Silencio: Khaki ultra pale green with a gold shimmer and rainbow sparkle

My favorites: Sempensortia, Aparecium, Silencio, Impervius, Protego, Tarantellegra

Heathers Favorites: Orchideous, Riddikulus, Stupefy, Obliviate. Heather is biased she pretty much likes purple regardless, but the silvery blue of Syupefy impressed her.

Colors that did nothing for me: Orchideous, Incendio, Diffindo. Also I swatched Crucio and Expelliarmus next to each other purely by chance, they are different from one another, but so close that Heather and I both agreed they might as well be the same color.
