Aromaleigh Astronomical – Swatched

I’ve swatched Aromaleigh’s latest collection, Astronomical. The colors are soft and pretty. I love the subtlety of Milky Way. Antimatter is gorgeous in ways that words cannot explain. Heliosphere is a pretty golden shade and Dark matter looks like a great crease color for any gold without going black. Neutrino really stands out to me as unusual and pretty. Blue Shift and Escape Velocity are just so awesome with their sparkles. For wonderful shade descriptions, check out these.

Row 1 – perihelio – binary – azimuth – fusion
Row 2 – milky way – blue shift – escape velocity – retrograde

Ciao Italia! Collection by Aromaleigh

Ciao Italia! Collection by Aromaleigh

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.

Aromaleigh Angels Swatches

Aromaleigh Angels Swatches

I received my Aromaleigh Angels colors on Saturday and I was able to spend last night swatching them for you. They’re really lovely colors. You can see all of the Aromaleigh Angels colors on the Aromaleigh site. I only swatched the ones that I purchased.
Edit:
And I just now realized that my labels for Phaedra and Phyrra are mixed up. Phaedra is purple, Phyrra is a highlighter shade.

You can see a bigger image here.

Ray and Dave and Phaedra watched me swatch these.
In addition to loving Phaedra, the guys also mentioned that they thought Calypso and Rhinestone Housewife were pretty. I love it when they weigh in on makeup.

Aromaleigh Exclusive – New Lipsticks!

Aromaleigh Exclusive – New Lipsticks!

The lovely Kristen from Aromaleigh sent me some new lipsticks that will be coming out soon! Kristen let me know that she wanted to dip her toe into the more dramatic lipstick colors, but keep them wearable and multi-purpose so that they will have a broader appeal. They’re meant for layering, toning and enhancing lip shades. After experimenting with these lipsticks, I wholeheartedly agree with them being wearable and multi-purpose.

 The colors are called Violetta, Mina and Elissabetta. I really like the names. They smell like chocolate, like the rest of Aromaleigh’s lipsticks, and I really love that.
These are my observations and color descriptions for the colors, not the official ones.
Violetta – sheer dark reddish purple

Mina – sheer black with silver sparkles
Elisabetta – deep sheer dark blue with silver sparkles

Violetta is my favorite, and it is reminiscent of Urban Decay’s Apocalypse. It’s a sheer red-based purple color and looks good on its own or with another lipstick. It is good to warm up a color. I also think that of the three, this is the most universally flattering shade.
This is Violetta with Nyx’s Deep Purple liner and MAC’s Dazzleglass in Jingle Jangle.
Mina is a sheer black, which will remind many of Urban Decay’s Oil Slick. This lipstick is very sheer on its own, but will look good layered on top of other lippies to darken them.
 
Elisabetta is a gorgeous sheer blue. This is good for cooling off a color.

I’m really excited by these new lipstick offers from Aromaleigh! I think that these are a great way to get into more dramatic lip products.

These shades will be offered as a part of the Bete Noire Lipsticks.

I would love to hear if you’re interested in trying these when they come out. What do you think of them?

Aromaleigh Retro Hi-Fi Matte Collection Swatches & Video

Aromaleigh Retro Hi-Fi Matte Collection Swatches & Video

The Retro Hi-Fi Matte collection is a fun new addition to Aromaleigh. I just received my sample set from Aromaleigh today! So of course, I had to swatch them all and make a video, too.

While these colors may not look bright in the bag, they’re definitely vibrant mattes, reminiscent of the Rocks line with some of the pretty shades, once you get them on the skin. I swatched all of these with Aromaleigh’s Light Primer.


No flash, natural light.


No flash, indirect natural light.


Flash, indoors.

Standout shades for me from this collection are:
Kookie, Smokin’, In the Mix, What’s Shakin? Got Dibs, Big Tickle, Daddy-O, In Orbit, Spaz, Cat’s Pajamas and Real Gone.

Disclosure: The following sample set was provided to Fresco Phyrra by Aromaleigh for review purposes.

Of course, I did a swatch video, too. The video will be uploaded here shortly:
