GOTH ALTERNATIVE ROCK STAR EYESHADOWS: MISS K OF AROMALEIGH MAKEUP.
I always look forward to emails in my inbox from Miss K of Aromaleigh Makeup, who donated 9 generous Gothic Lolita prizes for this week’s giveaway contest. What a delight it is to have personal contact with an indie designer/entrepreneur… it’s a far cry from the scowls I get from Sephora’s security for trying on too many products!
In the About section of Aromaleigh’s website, Miss K (which stands for Kristen) opens up about a few of her favorite things. Her mission is to create products that “help other women feel good about themselves and reap the benefit of natural products” while also “subliminally forcing you to have fun with color!” In the photos above, she’s modeling the Rocks! collection.
A few fun facts: her favorite decade is the roaring 20’s; Louise Brooks is a style icon. Miss K also wrote an intriguing book called Holistic Aromatherapy for Animals. I know which scents my Basil Farrow likes best; a true Rococo kitty, he’s always sticking his nose in cupcakes, cookies, and cake!
I enjoyed reading Miss K’s long list of “random influences & things that make me tick.” Here are the ones that we share:
sushi, pop culture, subculture, sleeping, cute dresses, accountability, ribbons & bows. black nails, night, dressing up, Google, photoshop, pirates, chunky shoes, cameras, architecture, writing, Halloween, old cartoons.
What are some of the things that make you clap your hands in glee? Here’s my delight of the day: My Little Nightmare (above). Artist Mari Kasurinen took My Little Pony and transformed her into Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, the Dark Knight and more.
Don’t forget to enter this week’s contest to win Aromaleigh products! And please spread the word on my Goth Cooking Show debut on YouTube!
