Aromaleigh?

[jasper17]

Just checking to see if anyone can speak to how the Aromaleigh Pure Hue Intense Mineral Powders compare to MAC pigments.

Definitely! I can't wait until the order gets here!!

Ok, my samples and foundation and stuff from Aromaleigh came today (we won't discuss the UPS guy, who annoyed me thoroughly).

I can safely say I am in love with these things.

They are, except for also being basically multipurpose powders, not really anything like MAC pigments. They are finer and all of the samples I ordered have iridescent/ dually toned looks to them. I don't know if it's because I got primarily golds and greens - very mermaidy look to these colors. They are all absolutely gorgeous. Mmmm.

I'll try to do swatches, if anyone is interested, at some point in the next couple of days.

i'd like to see some pictures of them.

I started doing some swatches; will post when I get them together.

[jasper17]

These are new, according to the website, and they look really interesting, based on the swatches - a pretty decent range of shades to choose from. Some are black-light reflective, which is neat. Some of the shades also look like they might be close to Parrot but since I don't actually own Parrot, that remains to be seen.

I'm hoping they're similar to MAC pigments in consistency. Thinking about ordering a few different sample shades to see what they're like.

Not to vainly attempt to decide what colors to try out.

I've used the foundation and I like it - it's similar to BE but more sheer. I love their lip balm and I also really like the fragrances. Oh and I've had samples of some of the other mineral powders Aromaleigh makes - very sheer and lots of really pretty iridescence.

Good stuff!

[irmati]

I hear they are good indeed.

The eyeshadow shades that I have tried have been good. I have a lot of the Rocks! samples and they are pretty and vibrant. I did hear that since these are handmixed pigments that each sample/full size will have a slight variation in the shade. This goes for all of the Aromaleigh pigments.

They claim to be better formulations than other mineral stuff out there. I'd never heard of this one, but sounds like another online home business. I'm getting ready to order some great colors, but maybe should have just picked out sample sizes. I can tell tho when they're shades I'll probably want to order the full ones, tho, so I'm saving time if not money!

Looks like a great selection!

I loved their foundation! It was great for my pale,warm toned skin

If you do a search on here for Aromaleigh, there's tons of reviews on most of their products

[sigwing]

I read a couple things where people were really pleased with them, so now I can't wait for all the ones I've ordered!

I also noticed one of the reviews of an eyeshadow was from 2005, so they've been around quite some time!

[dreamqueen]

They have an awesome eye brush that is like a skunk brush. It is amazing to use with pigments. I have 2 of them!

[sigwing]

I got them today! I ordered several matte shades in sort of dusty peachy and clay colors, and umber, a black/brown, and they are absolutely gorgeous! I have just tried them on my hand at this point but love the application!!!

They have a really nice selection of frosts, satins & mattes that are worth looking at if you like these type!

Update:
Yesterday morning around 7 I put on my makeup, I used a dampened Vanilla from PureLuxe as a base, and then just some light colored stuff. last nite I wanted to try a couple of these Aromaleigh colors and put some on to play with them & just loved the application! Very smooth & even! Anyway, this morning, there's no creasing & they're of course faded a tiny bit overnight, but still there!!!

I've been using Aromaleigh foundation for years and I love the formula. I use Glissade because it's better for my dry skin. The silicone really helps it glide on my skin.

[sigwing]

I've only used a bit of mineral powder foundation to mix with my liquid foundation if I want a little extra coverage or to dry it out or something, so I'm just for now trying these eyeshadows, but the quality of them is really a 10 in my book! I need to branch out and try some more of their products!

I've ordered some more colors along with the eyeliner sealant stuff that is only $4 for the bottle of it, which is very reasonable assuming it's the same kind of thing as a primer potion.

I spend a lot of time over at bpal.org and a lot of people over there love Aromaleigh. I finally decided to try them and bought a crateload of samples last week! I haven't gotten them yet but can't wait until I do, as I want very much to love their cream blush and lip gloss!

[Makeuplovingal]

I have been using Aromaleigh for 4 years now and they have been in business, I think, 2 years before I started using it, so they have been around a long time. I Love them!! Their 2W foundation is a perfect match for my NC20 skin. Other products I love are their lip gloss, it isn't sticky at all and has a nice choclate aroma to it. Also love their colorwashes and I loved their skin care when they had it. They might be bringing some of the skin care back.

I don't care for their lipsticks as they are natural and they dry out too quick in the tube. I had one that only lasted 1 month and I had to throw it out.

Also, their gel eyeliners are similar to MAC fluidlines, but are a bit drier in consistency. They stay on better than fluidlines do. However, the formula dries up in the pot much quicker than fluidlines, unfortunately.

I also loved their blushes and eyshadows, but my skin changed drastically after having my son and I can't wear those any more. They fade and crease (eyeshadows) no matter what I use as a base. That is one of the reasons I started using MAC as I could no longer use Aromaleigh eyeshadows.
