It was so hard for me to swatch this collection. I couldn’t bear to open the package that it came in for well over a week. I finally made myself swatch it today. I knew I’d find the colors lovely.
My absolute favorite color from this collection is unexpected, Bacio. It’s like a duochrome gold and copper shade.
I also like Puffo, Rosmarino, Mela and Frutti di Bosco.
Without further ado, onto the swatches.
Row 1 Mela, Puffo, Melone, Liquiriza
Row 2 Frutti di bosco, mirtillo, amarena, fior de latte
Row 3 pistacchio, menta, ciocolatto, pera
Row 4 lampone, fragola, melograni, malaga
Row 5 biscotti, rosmarino, mora, fico
Row 6 zabaglione, albicocca, bacio, nocciola
Row 7 tiramisu
It’s really a lovely collection. See any colors you like?

Hello Cotton
Mela, Menta, Fragola, and Bacio look beautiful!
The textures are really nice, too, especially if you’re into mixing textures for more depth in looks.
I daren’t really look since if I want any I have to twist an amercian arm to take the package and forward it to me :/
Sad times
It is really sad that a bunch of jerks ruined it for perfectly nice people
Wow! Where to start. These look like a the perfect combination of plush/frost shades, and I love how muted and wearable they look. I see many full sizes in my future! Bacio, rosmarino, lampone, fragola, Amarena, Fior de Latte, Menta.
Yeah I agree, the textures/finishes are neat in this collection.
Those are beautiful.
There are 3 or 4 I’d buy full sized jars of, but being in the UK I’m not allowed to.
It really upsets me that some people were doing chargebacks and ruining it for all the nice people.
Ohhh Ikwym. I’m SICK that my very last probable order is going to come to me soon. Lovely colors….
I’m saddened by Aromaleigh closing, too
Oh, those are just lovely. Sigh.
They’re definitely lovely.
I must have puffo!
It’s pretty :>
These colors are soo soft. I’m swatching mine tonight. I think this is my favorite collection.
I can’t wait to see what sort of looks you come up with.
This sucks! I see like 10 colors I want, but now since Aromaleigh isn’t shipping to canada, im screwed >.>
Oh well.
Guess its for the best >.>
Maybe get an American friend to order for you? It really sickens me that some people were jerks and they ruined it for all the good people out there.
I’m glad I did not love any of them, I’d be sad if I did… they are pretty, though!
Aww, I think you’d look great in Bacia though.
I LOVE Bacio and Mala, nice collection to go out on I guess.
It’s really pretty, and definitely a nice collection to go out on since Italy seemed to mean so much to Kristen.
So many pretties.. When I saw this collection, I became even sadder that Aromaleigh is closing. THIS is why I love Kristen’s creations so much!
Fior di Latte, Lampone, Bacio and Tiramisu are among my faves.
It definitely makes me sad, too. I feel your pain.
Oooh, I’m really liking Bacio.
Yeah it’s an absolute stunner.
Oh my, it’s like walking into a gelato store! I like Rosmarino, but they all look like such soft and pretty colors!
Yeah Rosmarino is really pretty
Beautiful. I know I will find a way to make these babies mine.
Thanks for the swatches, Phyrra. I was wondering what happened to you when so many others were posting swatches. But your reaction is perfectly understandable.
This must be so painful for you.
I know that it is for me. 
I’m glad you like them.
And thank you for your understanding at my delay in posting these. I know ‘it’s just makeup’ to some, but Aromaleigh has helped me to feel pretty and more confident, so it’s very sad.
I normally don’t wear a lot of browns but Bacio is gorgeous!
Yeah it’s a gorgeous coppery shade.
I am definitely screwed. I will be getting full sizes of more than half of Ciao Italia…this is my most favorite LE collection from Aromaleigh ever.
Aww, it’s awesome that it’s your favorite! I know you love Bacio
These shades are so pretty! I’m dying to try them, and yet, I’m really sad that this is the last time I get to be all excited about a new Aromaleigh collection coming out.:( Thanks for the great swatches, I see several full sizes in my future!:)
I have missed you Laura!
Yeah, I’m saddened too
I do love the colors, though I think Lost in Faerie is my favorite collection to date.
I’ve missed you, too!
Yes, the Lost in Faerie collection was amazing. I think I bought 9 or 10 full sizes from that one.:)
Yeah the textures in that one were amazing!
I think this is the best collection Kristen has put out to date!! I don’t think she’ll be gone forever, she’s too talented!
I looove mela, melone and melanga
And if I could afford it, I’d buy mostly the entire collection LOL!
Is she planning on putting out full sizes?
I hope she’s planning on full sizes! I really want Bacio
