Much to my delight, my Aromaleigh sample haul arrived today! Hurray!

I am on the Neverending Quest for the Perfect Foundation. I have used and loved Aromaleigh mineral cosmetics for about four years now. I discovered the brand when I was on Accutane and absolutely everything caused my skin to go into a volcanic rupture. But not minerals! Hurray for minerals!

Anyhow. The shade that I was using in Aromaleigh’s old formulas (and I mean old — I stocked up when they changed formulas, it’s been a few years) just doesn’t suit my skin any more. It’s too.. something. Darkish. So I ordered samples of one of their new formulas. And the best part — when you order nothing but samples, you get free shipping, plus they throw in 3 free samples with each and every order. So I got a lot to play with for $7.

Beautifully packaged. Like a little gift. <3
