I have swatches of Aromaleigh Cosmetics' seasonal Anthousai collection, along with their Leshy and Hydra Menagerie collections. The Anthousai collection is made with their new and improved formula that is supposed to be pigmented even over bare skin! Let's get on with swatches then :)

Changeling |
Changeling: matte red base with tons of green and gold sparkles and red shimmers
Karkinos |
Karkinos: shimmery pinky red with blue pink, and green sparkles. I'm not sure if this was made with the new formula because this does need a cream or sticky base for the glitter to stick on to. However, over a sticky base, it's super beautiful and glowy.
Ekhidna |
Ekhidna: mint with pink sheen and silver shimmers
Hydra |
Hydra: dark brown base with teal sheen and gold and blue shimmers
The White Witch |
The White Witch: sky blue with silver and blue sparkles and gold shimmers. If you're feeling a bit of deja vu with my last post, it's because I got the first two Narnia shadows in this order. I completed the set later on but decided to post up the swatches to the completed set first!

Overall, I thought the Anthousai collection was so beautiful. I don't usually go for lighter colors, but these seemed to glow from within. The formula and resulting color was amazing. They may seem semi sheer in the swatch, but they're extremely glowy. I have no other ways to describe it. They're great for a wash of color on the lids, but even better as a gorgeous inner corner highlight. If all the future collections are like this, I would be really happy.
What do you think of the new formula?
