I've learned to always purchase a full size sample set of the limited edition colors because like Kristen (Aromaleigh's owner and creator of all these lovely eye shadows) said, "The photos of these colors barely touch what they truly are like in person." With that said, my top 5 based on my first impression are: Arabesque, Odile, Dulcinea, Pavane and Sylph. What are your favorites?
