More--and pictures after the jump!
Every month, Aromaleigh release two sets of new eyeshadow colors--one fitting the month, another set with "throwback" shades. The monthly themed colors are conceived by the company's fans on Facebook and are then voted upon. At least the winner gets made, but sometimes more are created. This month FOUR were chosen and all are stunning. The throwback shades are selected by fans on Facebook, once again, but this time, all colors selected are from their older, discontinued shade selections. These are all dupes, since somewhere along the line the recipe was lost or some of the ingredients were discontinued. The company does an awesome job recreating the shades and in most cases, they turn out even better. This month FOUR made the cut for a total of EIGHT monthly colors! Sweet!
This has got to be my favorite of the bunch (maybe because I am a Roman history nerd? lol)

According to the website "it's a rich Tyrian purple with red duochrome and shards of red sparks.
It represents the Ides of March and the assassination of Caesar by the Roman Senate, in which even his friend Brutus was involved. Tyrian purple was a brilliant violet shade worn by royals and those of the highest social status. It is believed that Caesar's love of wearing this color may even have led to his assassination, out of fear that he was aspiring to make himself King." How lovely!
Maybe this color too. I am in a Mardis Gras mood!
According to Aromaleigh "Laissez les bons temps rouler" is a March special edition shade in honor of Mardis Gras. The expression Laissez les bons temps rouler is a Cajun French phrase which is literally translated from the English expression "Let the good times roll." This phrase is often mentioned when Mardis Gras is celebrated.
It is a warm deep green with a golden duochrome and vivid purple sparks!"
Hell, I love all this month's colors. I might get samples of all of them, but I am thinking I will get full sizes throughout the month as sells pop up. Go and check them out!
