Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[marigoldsue]

Ohh I don't see too much on here about aromaleigh. What did you get?

How does everyone else feel about the brand? I've been eyeing the Serpens collection but don't have experience with this brand.

I have only ordered sample sizes from the discontinued list, but shipping was super quick and I was very, very impressed with the products.  This is one of two brands that I think applies incredibly smoothly.  I also thought they were very pigmented.  I think the main reason I have not ordered more from them is that I find the website a little overwhelming.  Too many choices.  And it is hard for me to tell from the pics what the color will look like on. The product pics kind of all blend together.  Like I don't see much difference in one pink to the next.  I haven't found that to be the case when I got my samples home.  I think it is just bad website design.

I'm just going to throw my 2 cents in and add that I love Aromaleigh! I have placed several orders and shipping is really fast! I agree that there are a lot of products and the website is quite overwhelming, but samples are a great way to explore what is offered. Also, a trivial point but as a history nerd I love that it plays such a large part in the product line.

This was very much my experience as well. The order I am waiting on is the discontinued restock that Kelly Silva mentioned.

 the entire Brilliant Deductions collection (which is on sale for 50% off until tomorrow

Yeah! I wanted to buy this a month or two ago and missed the sale by a couple days. So glad that it's back and that you happened to mention it! Thanks!

I placed my first Aromaleigh order a week ago. It was already shipped and should get here sometime this week, so I'm already impressed with the fast TAT. The history nerd inside me also appreciates how many of their collections are based off stuff like that.

Only thing I'm not very fond of is that the clearance is an entirely different shop. Placing multiple orders and then contacting them to afterwords to get extra shipping $ back is a little much.

Aromaleigh is my absolute, absolute favorite. I've made several orders, my most recent being on Sunday, a $40 order /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It's because they were switching site hosts, and decided to just leave everything being clearanced and discontinued on the old site. A little annoying for the time being, but once that stuff is gone, it will just be the one site.

Amazing customer service! I wrote to Shiro, and she let me buy a Zompey she had back-stocked and said she probably has to make another batch of Worwelf anyway and added me in case she does. Awesome experience!

 

[Verorenee]

Thanks for all the aromaleigh insight everyone! I already have some on my birthday wishlist!

I ordered from Darling Girl three and a half weeks ago and haven't heard a peep. TAT is listed as 20-22 business days.

It took 22 calendar days to get my shipping notice. Once it was sent, the package moved fairly quickly. I appreciate that Darling Girl is up front about TAT!

Ohh I don't see too much on here about aromaleigh. What did you get?

How does everyone else feel about the brand? I've been eyeing the Serpens collection but don't have experience with this brand.

Aromaleigh is becoming one of those I keep going back to and making more and more orders, much to my bank card's detriment. I have no idea why there was supposedly some drama involving the shop; a few years back I ordered some lip colors from when they were still on Etsy and they were close to perfect. I almost had kittens when I learned she had closed shop, and elated to discover the website and a much-expanded line. Their TAT is excellent, one of the best I've encountered; the shadows are top-quality, long-wearing and richly pigmented; and the samples are very generous.

Add me to the list of Aromaleigh fan girls. Ultra fast shipping, lately she has been giving 2 samples with each order, she has/had SO many 40% off items that I bought a bazillion 50 cent samples a while back. I own more Aromaleigh than any other indie due to this alone. I own the entire Ancient Magicks Collection, Dryades Collection, Diavoli Collection and tried to get most of her discontinued shades as well. I find that her products are either VERY complex (Dryades, Diavoli) or very wearable and always they have a good consistency. I wear Ancient Magicks all the time. Also I gotta agree, her history collections REALLY call to me as I am more of a history/mythology nerd than video games and most TV shows. I won one of her Facebook Giveaways a while back and received 4 full sized eyeshadows (I picked the new Dryades) that had only been out for a week. Not only did she send those 4 free, but she also included 4 more samples from the Dryades collection too! I essentially got the entire collection (minus 2 colors) for free (half full sized and half samples). I couldn't believe it!

Super huge fan over here. I have not experienced the "drama" that others have spoken about in the past, but from my experiences (Ive ordered about 5 times now) I am in love.

I need to get on this Aromaleigh train.....

Today will be another great mail day, CocoaPink, Ipsy (meh), and Aromaleigh! Yay!

This will be my first CP and Aromaleigh haul, so I'm excited to try everything. I appreciate that Aromaleigh is located in the Upstate of SC, which is where I recently moved from...but I still consider them a "local" company to support even if I do live across the country now. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Maybe I'm sentimental? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh my Cocoa Pink should be here today too.  Along with two GDE orders, one with the Halloween pre-release and one with my Wednesday order from last week.  I also might get my Sugar Skull Minerals order today.

I'm also a huge Aromaleigh fan. Her colors are so complex (if that makes sense). They are so different than anyone else's. Her color changers are gorgeous & I'm dying to get my hands on her Christmas collection which won't come out for a while. Her TAT is fabulous & she does a ton of flash sales!

Oh! My Aromaleigh order from Thursday is out for delivery!!!! Eeeeek! Play day!

 

[MIKAGlam]

I have been showing my aromaleigh shadows major love lately. I was finally able to get a container to put the other half of my Brilliant Deductions collection and free samples in. I got ambre as a free sample and I never knew I needed this color on my life. It is just beyond gorgeous. The sparkles!!! *swoon*

Anyways, how quickly does aromaleighs discontinued shadows go out of stock? Ambre is discontinued but I don't really have the funds to go be splurging this month so I'm going to have to wait.

 

[BSquared]

My Haus of Gloi order should be here today...I'm currently staying at my mom's (only til tomorrow, THANK GOD, I've been there 2 weeks and am so ready to go home) and I was going to run home over lunch and grab it but it doesn't show as delivered yet. but I am HUNGRY! What to do! Hurry up mailman!

 

[Lolo22]

There's going to be a small tower on my front step today and I can't wait!!  Totally unrelated but I bought 12 boxes of k-cups and Kohls shipped them all separately (but on the same day, wtf?)!!  My postman is going to think I'm completely nuts.

HoG and CP are both coming so I think I should just save time and open the boxes right in the bathtub.  So excited to hear everyone's reviews on their CP orders.  There is just way too many other scents to try and I need guidance!  Plus my GDE custom glitter will be here too, super curious if it turned out hideous lol.

 

[Kelly Silva]

To be delivered today: Haus of Gloi part 2 order, my replacement Shiro wetch shadow, Aromaleigh Talisman full size shadows, and my I+TA sub!

Perfume I'm wearing: Black Violet Affogato, smells wonderful while I drink my iced coffee!

Also, I sucked it up and did a bunch of swatches last night, including the GDE OTM shadows, and omg I can't wait for Halloween those are going all up on my face!
