Aromaleigh Angels & Phaedra

Aromaleigh Angels & Phaedra


Kristen from Aromaleigh offered customers the chance to become Aromaleigh Angels and receive the eye shadow of their dreams, created by working with Kristen. So everyone who donated $35 and up was eligible for a custom eye shadow. Aromaleigh had over $7,400 donated from 51 donors and heled over 6600 students through this Donors Choose program. You can read more details about this at Aromaleigh’s Angels page, as well as see the larger version of the swatches.

I put together a quick little version of the eye shadow swatches so far:

My Aromaleigh eye shadow arrived today!

The color is called Phaedra, after my darling standard poodle, Phaedra.

The color inforamtion that I sent Kristen about my dream eye shadow was as follows:
I would like a dark blue-purple nearly matte shade with fuschia reflects.

The color looks gorgeous, and I swatched it here:

I really can’t wait to wear it. When I sent Kristen my information I was sort of thinking of the En Pointe Collection finish when I tried to describe it.

I was very happy to donate to the Donors Choose because I got to donate to several programs that I feel strongly about, including Yoga.

However, I’m also very excited to have an eye shadow named after Phaedra ;)

Soon the colors from the Aromaleigh Angels collection will go on sale, and honestly I’m looking forward to trying everyone else’s colors, too.

Thursday Mail

I had a few packages arrive today ;)

First, my Aromaleigh Angels shadow arrived! I’ll be making a separate post about this.

I purchased this bat necklace from CutesyCuppyCake on etsy, along with some holiday gifts.

This bat is obviously for me ;)

I also had some Silk Naturals arrive.

Sizzle – blue with gold flecks
Nymph – MAC Vex clone, putty grey shimmer with complex red highlights
Charmed – MAC Juxt clone, golden green shimmer
Grassroots Green – shimmery green
Intergalactic – sheer lavender twinkle with turquoise interference
Pretty – gift with purchase color

Sizzle is a color that I swapped for.

I picked up Nymph and Charmed because I still have those colors from MAC and I was curious to see how closely they swatch on me. I picked up Grassroots Green because it just looked gorgeous, same with Intergalactic.
