This collection looks gorgeous!Sneak peeks from the ASTERIAI (star nymph) collection!
I spent a good while today transferring all my baggies into clamshell containers. The labels on the bags are still a little too long, but I managed to get almost all of my shade names completely visible.OH, HOT DAMN! Minis are totally my style. I hate baggies, and I can't bring myself to order full-sized jars. I'll definitely have to grab these in order to encourage more minis!
I actually wonder if maybe that might be part of the problem with declining interest in Aromaleigh nowadays. There are just *so many* new indies on the scene that offer minis that it's *really* unappealing to have to make the choice between baggies and full-sized. I'll buy a full collection in minis (or clamshells! I like clamshells, too!) without batting an eye, but full-sized? Do not want. I actually have a bunch of Aromaleigh sample baggies -- including a couple of shades I think I would probably love if I ever bothered to try them -- just sitting in a box because I refuse to use baggies.
Yeah, I know I *could* do this, but, realistically, I won't. I actually have clean clamshells and jars sitting in the box with my Aromaleigh baggies, and they continue to sit, week after week.I spent a good while today transferring all my baggies into clamshell containers.

When I first started ordering indies, I was buying sample baggies. One day I decided to de-bag them all into jars. It was so messy and hard (and I used a funnel!) that I thought NEVER AGAIN!!! :lol: So that's the story why I only buy mini jars or (if I must) full sizes now. Short to say, I feel your pain. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Yeah, I know I *could* do this, but, realistically, I won't.

LOL. The first several ones I ever de--bagged and put into pots, I just poured and made a huge mess. But I've found if I cut the ziploc part off first, I make less of a mess.When I first started ordering indies, I was buying sample baggies. One day I decided to de-bag them all into jars.

I really want that whole collection. But I am just not allowing myself to buy anything right now. I went a bit overboard both with christmas shopping and black friday/cyber monday ordering and I guess I need to get important things like the heat bill and essentials I keep forgetting to buy, like, you know, socks and underwear, before I'm allowed to buy any more makeup. DANGIT.At the risk of sounding like a broken record, if anyone is a fan of blue or purple (or blue AND purple) eyeshadows I seriously say run, don't walk, to grab Lua Saturni from the Sol Invictus collection. I completely used my sample and I am on to the jar - plus I'm thinking about getting more before they retire so I won't have to go without. Almost any time I do a blue or purple look I reach for this one. So pretty!
The rest of the collection is to die for, but Lua Saturni has far and away taken the spot as number one. I totes wore it today which is why I am thinking about it, LOL.
if you wear enough makeup, maybe no one will look anywhere else! lol jk (but I feel you)I really want that whole collection. But I am just not allowing myself to buy anything right now.

Also at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I think someone mentioned these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J7A4SAW/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1IDUWSGVW0BDLOL.

I do avoid baggies and don't buy them, but I also refuse to NOT use ones I get, especially when they're from a new company to me or a really great color, so I really need to get my hands on some empty pots or clamshells.
Not the no-buy thread, but I feel the same way. The best way to get over it is to go reorganize all your makeup and skincare and make a plan for how to use some of it up... then you're like "oh. I guess I'll wait..."Wow those colors are so beautiful!!! I'm going to need serious strength to get through my no-buy.
