Massive Aromaleigh Swatch Post!

Purchased

PHOTO HEAVY

Hi!

So I decided to make one huge Aromaleigh swatch post. Why? I'm not a huge fan of dragging out posts unless there's just a ton of information that needs to be mentioned. Aromaleigh is amazing in my book with beautiful colors and fast TAT, so they're a great company to make a purchase from. Anyway, since this is pretty long, I'll get on with the swatches! :)

All are swatched over NYX Eyeshadow Primer in Skin Tone under a daylight bulb. Any photos you see after the original is posted is the color being turned away from the light source. Those colors with a " * " beside the name indicates that it is on the clearance website!

Cthulhu- "a deep mauved red/chestnut with a strong green/aqua duo chrome and brilliant green sparks!"

 *Giacinta- "A rich, deep teal frost with green highlight shimmer."

 Bona Dea- "A beautiful soft minty spring green with a golden interference highlight and spirited violet sparkles"

*During the Dark Days- "A smooth black frost with vivid rose, gold and copper sparks clamoring for your attention."

 *Khepir- "A lustrous, smooth, warm green with a dominant golden highlight and a very delicate green shimmer."

 Gryphon- "A very complex gray with khaki undertones, gold to pink multichrome highlights,and vibrant bronze and coppery sparks."

 *Rabid. Feral. Mad.- "A strong eggplant purple with fuchsia undertones and brilliant color-shifting rose/copper sparks."

 *Wasteful Decadence- "A vivid, subtly metallic, richly pigmented cobalt blue with opalescent color-shifting sparkles of sapphire/gold and rose/green."

 Ddraig Goch- "This color is a rich warm red with smoky undertones, a strong warm green duochrome, and bright green sparks."

*Hequet- " lush, cool deep green with highlights of cobalt and gold, and bright golden sparks."

 *Abracadabra- "a rich coppered mocha with golden tones and a soft violet highlight shimmer."

 *Colette- "Smoked indigo violet with blue highlight sparkle."

 *Nico- "Baroque yellow gold with a soft pink pearl iridescent highlight."

 *Ophelia- "The sweetest pale baby pink with a dewdrop green highlight."

 *Lillith- "A truly chameleon-like shade in a base of heathery grey you can see highlights of green, blue and violet."

 Qilin- "a midtone weathered gold patina with a very strong blue to violet duochrome and vibrant blue sparks."

Neurodivergent- "a rich mauve/taupe base with a greenish/teal highlight tone, because these colors are neither very warm nor very cool- they are more neutral and can lean in either direction."

Ihaivulu- "warm midtone brown frost with a very strong and vibrant red to purple duochrome."

Folie A Deux- "a dark blood red with blue undertones and a soft bordeaux metallic highlight, with shards of ice blue sparks throughout."

Ravenstag- "a very rich and chromatic black, with vivid duochrome effects that range from chartreuse to green to teal to blue. It also has brilliant violet sparks in it."

Experimental Drug- "A rich warm reddish brown with cool silvery iridescence of green, blue and violet."

Island of Misfit Toys- "a soft buff with a slight metallic cast, and soft duochrome effects."

Feast- "This shade is a smoky violet with a coppery highlight and sparkles of red, russet and indigo"

*Mercurial- "a complex blend of lustrous olive, indigo and teal with green and blue sparkles."

 *Lisette- "Romantic orchid violet with gold shimmer"

 *Viviane- "Intense smokey bronzed violet with bright purple sparkles."

 *Apophis- "A neutral khaki grey freen with golden highlight and fine borealis shimmer."

 *Act of Defiance- "A smooth, dark grey frost with brilliant duochrome sparks of cobalt blue/green and bright rose/copper."

Once again, I'm blown away by these colors! There were a few colors I was a little on the fence about, but once I swatched them I loved what I saw. I'm kinda digging the brighter colors of past collections that are set to be discontinued. I'm already planning out my next order so I can get a few more of the discontinued colors before they're gone forever!

Aromaleigh Cosmetics Sol Invictus Collection

Press Samples

Hi Everyone!

Would you like to see my swatches of the Sol Invictus Collection before it's released? Well, you're in luck! Last week the lovely owner Kristen sent me samples to review and swatch along with my purchased order. Kristen has been sending out sneak peeks of this collection with recent orders, so you may have already received one of these beautiful colors!

Here is a little information regarding the Sol Invictus Collection and the history behind the collection:

"Saturnalia was a festival of light leading to the winter solstice, with the abundant presence of candles symbolizing the quest for knowledge and truth. Most people find the word Saturnalia to be synonymous with drunken celebration, but there was so much more to this ancient festival! The renewal of light and the coming of the new year was celebrated at the Dies Natalis of Sol Invictus, the “Birthday of the Unconquerable Sun,” on December 25. Roman mythology of the Golden Age of Saturn’s reign differed from the Greek tradition. Saturn arrived in Italy “dethroned and fugitive”, but brought agriculture and civilization and became a king. As the Augustan poet Vergil described it, “he gathered together the unruly race” of fauns and nymphs “scattered over mountain heights, and gave them laws. Under his reign were the golden ages men tell of: in such perfect peace he ruled the nations.”  (source: Wikipedia)"

All are swatched over NYX Eyeshadow Base. This is the BEST base to use for Aromaleigh colors (it also works extremely well with other brands!). The first photo of the color is under direct light (daylight bulb) and the other photos of the color are moving away from the light. Click the photos to view them in a larger size.

I am in LOVE with this collection! Every color is so unique and stands out. I had no trouble applying these. They were a dream to swatch! I have to say, I can't pick favorites because I honestly find myself drawn to all of these colors. I love the complexity of them and how they're a work of art within themselves. Aromaleigh has to be one of my top favorite indie brands at the moment. Everything is so wearable on a daily level. 

The Sol Invictus collection will be released November 15th. You can pre-order the collection HERE. Sample sizes will be $12 while full sizes will be $78. If you'd like more information about this collection, you can check out Aromaleigh Cosmetics' blog HERE.
