Skin swatches of the CHIARA eye collection’s first 10 shades…

We have just completed skin swatches of all shades currently available in the CHIARA stock eyeshadow collection!

Since swatching all collections was high priority based on customer feedback, we decided that in order to get swatches completed of all collections, we’d keep things simple and show the shade swatched on the skin, photographed in direct sunlight, applied with primer (same technique as all past Aromaleigh skin swatches).

The intensity of direct sunlight is necessary to reveal the highlights, lowlights and various tones and complexities of a shade. It reveals the color at it’s most intense levels, and being applied to the skin surface demonstrates nuances that a “straight” photograph, such as our standard color charts- can rarely reveal.

Enjoy the charts- we will be releasing charts of BLOOM, MUSE and the SPRING 2012 collections as soon as we can get them formatted and uploaded!

New “Moulin Rouge” Limited Edition Eyeshadow Collection- 35 Gorgeous new shades!

“Moulin Rouge” is our first Limited Edition eyeshadow collection of 2012, and is also the largest limited edition collection in Aromaleigh history- a myriad of 35 gorgeous shades spanning the chromatic scale in texture, finish, shimmer, sheen, sparkle and glimmer!

 The inspiration for the collection is vintage posters and dancer images, as well as the distinctive paintings of Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and today’s modern haute couture deriving clear inspiration from the Belle Epoque era of the world famous Moulin Rouge.

Visit our Moulin Rouge Pinterest board, as we’ve started posting images that inspired the colors in this collection, and we’ll continue to expand this board with more material, as well as our interpretation, via eyeshadow.

Many of the shades in this collection were created to be very easy-wear, and are what we describe as “slightly sheer”, meaning that they are not as strongly and densely pigmented as many of the vivid/deep/dramatic shades from past Aromaleigh collections. Our goal with this collection, due to the many bright and deep shades, was to make them easy to use, layer and if desired, use eyeshadow primer, sealant or epoxy to max-out the color capacity.

So don’t be afraid to sample and experiment, even with the bright, vivid or dark shades… we’ve purposefully blended many of them to be user friendly as well as versatile!

Update for Beauty Bloggers/Public Relations

Greetings!

It’s been about 6 months since Aromaleigh v2 opened!

In that time, we’ve received hundreds of requests for samples and product.

We have not been able to reply to the volume of emails received, and we also felt that it wasn’t the best placement of our resources when our product line was so sparse.

The product line has grown, but it still is nowhere near completion.

We MAY start accepting requests from bloggers for sample requests, however we are in the process of developing an information form for our use, so that all requests we receive have the data and information on them that we require to enter you into our PR database.

In the meantime, please hold off sending requests, as we aren’t responding to them.

When we have the info form completed and are ready to start sending out samples for testing and review, we’ll have a big announcement post, and provide a specific email address for you to send requests to, so that they do not get mixed in with customer service and order emails.

Thank you for your patience during our time of growth!

NEW! Spring 2012 Pantone- Inspired Eye/Cheek Collection… it’s beauteous!

Welcome to Aromaleigh’s first Pantone-inspired seasonal collection! Aromaleigh has been exploring Pantone’s color trending for several years, but has never created a collection representing Pantones color forecasts…

To view Aromaleigh’s past blog posts about Pantone’s color trend reports, click here. To download the Spring 2012 color forecast (pdf file) from Pantone, click here.

Aromaleigh will be offering bi-annual limited edition collections inspired by Pantone’s twice yearly reports. Spring 2012 is gorgeous collection of 2 cheek colours and 8 eyeshadows. Pantone names each color in their reports, but we decided to give our colors new names, as they are inspired by Pantone’s report, not direct copies of each color.

From the Spring report, “Consumers look to spring for renewed energy, optimism and the promise of a brighter day,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “They have learned how color can help them alter a mood, while providing the vitality and enthusiasm that enables them to experiment with new looks and color combinations.”

Below are the colors from the report, along with the corresponding Aromaleigh shade, and a link to visit Aromaleigh’s Pinterest inspiration board for each color!

Provocative Tangerine Tango (aka “Dahlia” Rouge in our collection) , an enticing juicy orange, is a vivacious and appealing refresher to enliven anyone’s outlook this spring. Visit Tangerine Tango Pinterest Board

 

Providing a jolt of energy, Solar Power (aka “Flare” mineral eyeshadow) radiates warmth and cheer. Visit Solar Power Pinterest Board

 

Fanciful Bellflower (aka “Heliotrope” mineral eyeshadow), a distinct ornamental purple, exudes uniqueness and creativity. Visit Bellflower Pinterest Board

 

Scintillating and sexy, Cabaret (aka “Tulip” Rouge) is a sensual and intense rosy-red — an excellent choice for summer clothing and cosmetics. Visit Cabaret Pinterest Board
Sodalite Blue (aka “Dreaming of…” mineral eyeshadow), a classic maritime hue, brings order and calmness to mind. Like an anchor to a ship, this dependable shade works with every color in the palette. Visit Sodalite Blue Pinterest Board

 

Cockatoo (aka “Birds of a Feather” mineral eyeshadow), a tactile blue-green, is sure to make your spirits soar. This unusual hue adds a whimsical touch to the palette and will make a statement this spring. Visit Cockatoo Pinterest Board
Margarita (aka “Spring Leaf” mineral eyeshadow), a piquant yellow-green, lifts spirits with its refreshing and stimulating glow. Visit Margarita Pinterest Board

 

Reminiscent of a blossom- ing garden on an early spring morning, fragrant Sweet Lilac (aka “Lover-ly” mineral eyeshadow) evokes the fresh scents of summer. This delicate pinkish lilac adds a touch of romance to any wardrobe. Visit Sweet Lilac Pinterest Board

 

Natural, versatile neutrals add practicality to this season’s brights. Driftwood (aka “Robin’s Nest” mineral eyeshadow), an adaptable blend of beige and gray with a slightly weathered feel. Visit Driftwood Pinterest Board
