Aromaleigh?

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

Thanks

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.

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.

Link to swatches

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!

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 · 03-28-2007, 07:09 AM #16 (**permalink**)

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!

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