The Aromaleigh Brilliant Deductions collection is inspired by the tv show, Sherlock. I've had this collection sitting here waiting to be swatched and reviewed for too long, so I thought I should get it done! It's frequently on sale, and it seems to have won the vote for the next collection to get the new deluxe sample jars made available for purchase. These should be available during the first half of February.
About - Aromaleigh opened back in 1998, and was one of the first indie cosmetic companies to be started. Kristen is the owner, and is based in South Carolina. They offer a few fandom related collections, including Hannibal, Sherlock, and the Hunger Games, but most of their collections are historically and mythologically inspired. The monthly Ephemera subscription began January 2015.
I am extending Indie Weekends into Friday! Too many great things arriving here and the reviews were piling up!
Shiro Cosmetics just introduced their new Sherlock inspired Cheekbones Contouring Powders, and since I have been wanting to try contouring for the longest time, I decided to get samples of the whole collection to try! The collection is very warm toned, but Caitlyn from Shiro has said they will eventually introduce some cooler toned shades as well.
Shiro Cosmetics is an indie makeup company based out of Oregon, that focuses on geeky themed collections inspired by some of our favorite fandoms, including Pokemon, Game of Thrones, Avengers, and others. They offer sample bags, mini jars, and full size jars, and every month they have a color of the month that is voted on by their Facebook page fans.
I placed this order the first day the Cheekbones collection went up for sale, and it shipped via USPS 3 days later, and arrived in 3 days.
