Guest Post: Mai's Aromaleigh Review + Golden Eyed EotD

Hi everyone! My name is Mai and I regularly post at my own blog Portait of Mai. Wendy's all busy entertaining and asked me to do a guest post so I took her up on it. She suggested an Aromaleigh post which was perfect timing since I was anticipating some Aromaleigh sale eyeshadows. I rather like Wendy's format of doing reviews and FoTDs together so that's how I'm going to do my post.

Aromaleigh was a mineral makeup company that had closed down a little while ago but is going through a reopening under new management. While they're doing that they're selling off their old stock of some of their eyeshadows and I picked up four; I got Alohomora, Dark Matter, Fiddlesticks, and Tunnel Vision. The jars have ~ 1.2 grams of product in a 5 gram sifter jar and right now retail for $4 each. You can purchase the eyeshadows and other products here. Be wary though, stock is limited and some of the eyeshadows are already sold out.

Swatches are done in daylight over ELF Mineral Eye Primer.

Alohomora is a gilded bronzy copper with matching sparkle. Super super metallic and it makes me think of antiques.

Dark Matter is a brown/semi-bronze with blue sparks. The best description of it is Ravenclaw in a jar.

Fiddlesticks is a pinky cocoa brown with blue sparks. A color I'd like to wear as a wash over my lids but is pigmented enough to be built up.

Tunnel Vision is a sparkling silvery brown taupe, my favorite kind of taupe. In some lights I do see a hint of purple but it's predominately silver brown.

I love all of my Aromaleigh shadows and these four are no exception. Here's a FoTD I did with a couple of my other Aromaleigh eyeshadows. I apologize if some of the lines aren't all fully filled in, my favorite liner started dying on me so I had the make the best of it.

If I had the ability to, I'd make an animated gif of the progression between my open eyed and closed eyes pictures.
