Makeup PSA: Aromaleigh is closing

[cupcake_goth]

Miss K's post about it is here: http://www.aromaleigh.com/aromaleighnews.html

I am very sad to see this. I understand why she came to this decision, and I wish her well. But damn. Aromaleigh had become my favorite cosmetic company, and the Victoria's Revenge collection was (I thought) the start of a wonderful new era.

For the next two weeks, she's offering a 35% off with the coupon code ADIEU35.

Meow Cosmetics is supposed to have good foundation powders too. I'll be ordering a bunch of samples of that before too long, I guess.

Wow - it's really sad that people seem to have been making her business life miserable. I sent her a supportive note and I hope she finds her joy and inspiration again soon because that new collection was indeed very cool and I'm sorry I just don't have the money for it right now...

Hello, I've been lurking on your blog for a while :) Love your style. Have been also meaning to buy Aromaleigh items for years, I just dislike buying makeup online, although I have the hardest time getting pale shades in stores.

Anyway, thank you soo much for giving your readers a heads up as I went to their site and bought a couple things with that code.

Sucks that I'll never be able to buy them again, but its better than nothing.
Thanks.

Its not been easy making the decision to close up shop under friendly circumstances. I can't imagine being pushed. Did my part and ordered some lovely eye goodies. :0 )

Aw, that's such a shame. I hope Kristen's all right. Thankfully, I ordered some products from her a few weeks ago. I'll have to go send her a supportive email.

Ack!! How sad :(

You might want to give Cory Cosmetics a try - I've had good results with her foundation.

Needless to say, I made a delightfully excessive purchase. In case you're not familiar with this place (http://www.fyrinnae.com/index.php?_a=viewCat&catId=13), even more cracktastic shine to tempt the inner magpie.

How sad, her line has almost literally been the only makeup I have worn for nearly five years now.

A few weeks ago, when you mentioned she was discontinuing the Voile and Glissade powders, I bought 2 jars of the shade I wear daily. I think I might have to buy a couple more if they're still in stock.

First of all, shucks!

Second of all . . . I hope to heck I have a nice chunk of change coming my way . . . I should. Hopefully in time to get some shiny things from Aromaleigh!
