Aromaleigh Fatalis Collection

Aromaleigh Fatalis Collection Review Swatches

Today I’ve got the Aromaleigh Fatalis Collection for you. It’s for Halloween 2015. I LOVE indie Halloween collections and this one is no exception. These are utterly gorgeous, complex colors. This is a very picture heavy post. Atropa Belladonna and Nerium Oleander contain carmine. All other shades are vegan. I bought the pre-sale set of mini jars.

Where to Buy
Aromaleigh

Price
$35 demi sample set of 10 shades – 1/8 tsp in jar
$7.25 mini jar – 1/2 tsp
$3.50 sample jar – 1/8 tsp

I swatched these on Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. I shot them under different lighting conditions – my daylight bulbs and then warm light in my hallway which has some daylight coming in. They are incredibly sparkly under the warm light. Under normal lighting conditions (where you have mixed light such as daylight from a window and overhead light in an office), you’ll see a lot of sparkle and color shift.

I think the video really shows off the gorgeous colors nicely.

So about the names. I love the inspiration for the names – deady flora and fauna. However, I can’t remember the names for the colors because they’re the scientific names. Oleander and Belladonna I’m used to, but the rest are hard for me to remember.

Honestly, these remind me of ILNP Ultra Chromes in eyeshadow form. I think they’re stunning. My favorites in the collection are Chironex Fleckeri, Helleborous Niger, Atropa Belladonna, Phyllobates Terribilis, Dendroaspis Polylepis and Amanita Muscaria. These are the ones that I’m debating buying larger jars of.

  7. Some of those are so gorgeous! And some are just… Repeats of shadows I’ve seen on other lines. The names are great but too hard to remember.

  10. These are stunning and blow the MUG duochromes out of the water, IMHO. I love the names — subtle, yet Halloween appropriate. They are all scientific names for poisonous plants and animals — hence the “Fatalis.”

    I was curious, so I looked them all up:

    Chironex Fleckeri — sea wasp (jellyfish), Nerium Oleander — an oleander that is toxic in all it’s parts, Atropa Belladonna — deadly nightshade, Helleborus Niger — a poisonous member of the buttercup family, Phoneutria Nigriventer –Brazilian wandering spider, Phyllobates Terribilis — golden poison frog, Leiurus Quinquestriatus — deathstalker scorpion, Hapalochlaena Lunulata — greater blue-ringed octopus, Dendroaspis Polylepis — black mamba, Amanita Muscaria — the famous hallucinogenic mushrooms with red caps and white spots.

    1. I’m actually more familiar with the names like ‘deathstalker scorpion, golden poison frog, blue-ringed octopus, black mamba, etc. The names really are neat!
      Yeah they are definitely gorgeous colors! I love that the closest colors I have to them in my vast makeup collection are from my nail polish!

      1. That’s awesome. They aren’t the same old duochrome combinations we’ve seen a thousand times.

  11. WOW, WOW, WOW! These have to be the most beautiful swatches ever! You really captured the complexity of these lovely shades!

    1. I keep thinking of getting a new theme! I’ve had this layout on desktop for about a year. My mobile / tablet layout is different though, and should be much faster than what I had before.
