Aromaleigh Swatches

Giveaway Prize

Hi Everyone!

A few weeks ago I saw that Aromaleigh was running their weekly contest on Facebook and I thought I'd join in the fun! Well, I WON! I was quickly sent 4 full size shadows of my choice along with 4 samples. At this point I had never purchased from Aromaleigh but I did have a sample from a long time ago.

I'm not sure why I never made a purchase. Maybe they just weren't on my radar at the time? I don't know, but I'm hooked now! I've already made another order after this prize was sent (that order arrived very quickly and was packaged nicely; I'll have swatches of those soon). Anyway, I love how Aromaleigh shows their inspiration for their colors (for most collections). Being an Honors art student all though high school and still loving art, I love seeing how they interpret paintings into eyeshadows. All of these shadows applied nicely and blended well. No issues at all.

All are swatched over Glamour Doll Eyes Foil Me!

I think it should be noted that swatches will look different from the website when swatched over different bases. Here is a bit of information from Aromaleigh's website: "IMPORTANT APPLICATION TIP: These colors are all swatched over a light layer of cream eyeshadow primer. If you do not use a primer, you will not see the effects. A primer is necessary to bring the highlight/duochrome effects out of the satin (almost matte) base. Using these with no primer will result in very muted effects.".

What are your favorite colors? I absolutely love them all. Unorthodox is AMAZING in person, unfortunately my camera could not pick up the blue shifts as well as I'd like. I should probably try again on my DSLR and see if that works.

More Aromaleigh swatches coming soon!
