Aromaleigh Spells Collection

The Spells Collection seems to be one of the more popular collection as many of the shades were sold out by the time I had ordered. This is partly the reason why I don't have as many shades from this collection. However there are still some of these beautiful shades available for sale right now.

Riddikulus - Pinky purple with holographic and pink sparkles. Reminds me of My Little Ponies...xD
Impervius - Metallic silvery grey
Serpensortia - Golden olive with purple sparkle

Rictusempra - Rust orange-y brown with iridescent and orange sparkle
Diffindo - Dusty aqua with gold and holographic sparkle

*EDIT 9/19/11* I was lucky enough to be able to purchase Miss K's last jar of Wingardium Leviosa when she discovered a few stragglers! Swatch is below.

Wingardium Leviosa - Gorgeous dusty mauve with holographic sparkle

*EDIT 9/28/11* Miss K found even more stragglers and this time of some of the most sought after shades in this collection! Swatches below.

Nox - Blackened plum with red, green and copper glitter

Aromaleigh Mythos Collection

The lovely Miss K of the now close Aromaleigh has announced that she still has quite an inventory of her last few collections (Mythos, Astronomical, Spells and Wonderstruck) and is selling off what she can for the LAST TIME. So if you're having problems deciding what colors you want check out my swatches! Keep in mind that as always, these shades are much more sparkley and beautiful in real life.

Theia -  Light sea foam green with silver and yellow sparkle
Ananke - Gorgeous fuschia with purple and silver sparkle
Nyx - Dusty violet with aqua and holographic sparkle. My camera eats purple apparently so this appears more blue than it actually is.
Eos - Rusty rose gold with a strong gold shift. This was a completely unexpected color and is absolutely gorgeous! SO much better in person than in pictures.

Athena - Purple wine color with violet and holographic sparkle. This appears more red in the picture than it really is in real life.
Rhea - Silvery white with tons of silver sparkle
Erobos - Dark plum purple with purple and holographic sparkle
Tethys - Light chartreuse with blue and  purple sparkle and a very slight hint of gold shift.

The last remaining inventory of this collection can be purchased here.

Aromaleigh Ooops Giveaway! (CLOSED)

Are you ready for my first giveaway?? I AM!!! So here's the prize, I will be giving away 6 5g jars of Aromaleigh Ooops eye shadows.

I can tell you right now that all of these are really gorgeous and sparkley!

All of these eye shadows have been repotted from baggies. In case you're wondering how sanitary this is, I swabbed the jars with alcohol, covered my work area with a paper towel and I wore nitrile gloves the entire time. Each jar has a sealed sifter to prevent product loss.

Aromaleigh Cosmetics Part 1: Wonderstruck Collection

Epic Aromaleigh Haul!

 I had found AL back in Sept or Oct of 2010 but didn't really bother ordering from them until now which is really sad since AL is now closed forever. =( So to make up for all the times I should have ordered from AL but didn't I ended up ordering 33 individual shades from her Spells, Mythos, Wonderstruck, Astronomical and <3 collections as well as 7 of her mega grab bags each containing 20 baggies with approximately 2-3 grams of eye shadow in each of them.

My 4 Aromaleigh bundles bursting with sparklies

Look at all the goodies!

I'm really not going to bother reviewing this company since it is now closed so I'm just going to jump straight into swatching! I'm going to start off with the individual shadows that I ordered from the Wonderstruck collection.

Wonderstruck

We're All Mad Here - light pastel green with a slight gold shift

Curious Dream - medium blue green with iridescent sparkle

The Wrong Alice - medium blue with teal and iridescent sparkle

Looking Glass - light silvery gray with copper and rainbow sparkle

L-R: We're All Made Here, Curious Dream, The Wrong Alice, Looking Glass

Opiate Advice - gorgeous lilac with aqua and iridescent sparkle

Frumious - dark plum purple with iridescent sparkle

Temper Temper - dark maroon with iridescent sparkle

L-R: Opiate Advice, Frumious, Temper Temper

I think the one thing that really struck me about these shadows was how smooth and sparkley they were! These are so much more beautiful in real life than they are in pictures. It kind of made me sad to swatch them knowing that the company that made these amazingly gorgeous eye shadows is now gone. AL shadows are definitely going to hold a special place in my collection. =)

PS. Sorry it took forever to post this! It took me a long time to sort through everything... =P
