Welcome, Alima Pure Customers!

Hi there! Aromaleigh is a one woman artisan crafter of loose powder mineral cosmetics. My business model is very different from Alima Pure's. I personally formulate, package, label, ship, and handle all social media, customer service emails and every aspect of the business.

Please note that orders are final when you place them, and because I offer affordable samples of all of my loose powder products so that you can try before you buy, I don't accept returns.

I've created extensive shade matching charts to help you find a range of matches to try. At the bottom of these charts, there are instructions on ordering samples. Samples are found on the main "Mineral Foundation" page under the "Mineral Makeup" tab, but for some reason I get a lot of email queries asking how to order them.

(I am currently in the midst of a large shade expansion effort in 2026 and recently released Level 3.5 Medium/Deep and Level 4 Deep for my Gossamer formula. This will happen next for my Dewdrop formula. My Alima shade charts don't yet reflect these new, deeper shades. They eventually will. You can still easily find your correct undertone on the links above, just order a deeper shade level when you order your samples!

Here is a video showing how to access Alima Pure shade charts from the Mineral Makeup tab, as well as then order samples and add them to your shopping cart:



More details about Aromaleigh and order turnaround time, if you're interested!

My name is Cristiana and you can get to know me better here. Because of the small size of my business, you should be aware that orders can take longer to put together, as I fill many products custom for orders. My products aren't mass manufactured and ready to ship. Check out order TAT for more information. I am very involved in every aspect of my business and take pride in serving my customers, and have been in business for over 28 years. 

I always try to get orders shipped as quickly as possible, but the time span of my TAT is there to accommodate things like sale order volume, larger orders that take a lot of time to fill, new batches of product needing to be made from scratch for orders, and potential ingredient outages that require ordering in.

Aromaleigh's Gossamer or Dewdrop Mineral Foundations are excellent replacements for Alima Pure's Satin Matte Foundation with similar ingredient profiles. Alima started up 7 years after I started Aromaleigh in 1998. They were once a small, handcrafting indie (as I still am), but they changed their business direction and began manufacturing and distributing their products on a larger scale. Their color naming system is similar to the one I'd established for my mineral foundations 7 years earlier. Like Aromaleigh, they offer a wide range of shades for paler complexions that have typically found it difficult to find a match.

Aromaleigh foundation naming is based on a simple system of levels from 1-4, and straightforward undertones. They are described here. Mixing and matching isn't uncommon with loose powder minerals. If you find you're in between shades or need a mix of two, I do offer a custom blended jar option. 

Here's a comparison of the two products from Skinsort.com: 


These are "ballpark" shade chart comparables. They're based on the visual appearance of online swatches, not real life product comparisons. I offer affordable sample baggies of my products and encourage you to utilize this option to try out various shades and formulas to find the product that works best for you. As a small handcrafter who's kept true to my indie roots, because I offer these affordable sample baggies, all sales of my products are final. I don't accept returns.
