BORGHILD - Matte Eyeshadow

Borghild is the personification of the evening mist, or perhaps the moon, who kills the light of day. She is the wife of Sigmund. Her myth became part of the dynastic struggles of the Germanic classic, the Volsung Saga.

Color Description: Midtone, slightly muted violet. Vegan. Eye use only. Similar to Pure Eyes Matte "Raincloud".

BORGHILD is one of ten matte shades released in May 2017's Matte Saga Two. There will be a total of four Matte Saga collections inspired by women in Norse Mythology. Some of these shades will be close matches to Aromaleigh's former Pure Eyes Matte collection and listings will show what color is closest, for customer reference. All shades feature a brand new formula and deluxe sample size availability.

Shown swatched over BARE SKIN... the new formula performs very nicely with no need for primer, but should you choose to use a primer/base, the color will be more intense and saturated.

This formula is "semi loose" and features added ingredients for adhesion and wear, which also intensify the color shifts and make it easier to wear and blend over both bare skin and a variety of primers. Your eyeshadow will not arrive in "little balls" like some semi-loose formulas do, but it may be more difficult to get through the sifter holes. Sifters are easily removed. As always, I recommend a regular cream base such as NYX cream eyeshadow base. Your mileage may vary with sticky glue type primers.

Contains: mica, titanium dioxide, talc, carnauba wax, kaolin, ferric oxide, nylon-12, silica, magnesium stearate, zinc oxide, allantoin, isododecane, capric/caprylic triglyceride, dimethicone, hydrogenated polyisobutene May contain: manganese violet, ultramarines, chromium oxide, hydrated chromium oxide, red 40, carmine** (Carmine appears in the "May Contain" section on all product labels, but is only found in the shade "Verdandi")

Several sizes are available, full size jars as of 5/12/17 will have special jar labels featuring artwork by Arthur Rackham:

  1. Deluxe Sample: quarter (1/4) teaspoon in 3 gram jar. No sifter. Bottom label only.
  2. Full Size Jar: 5 gram jar with sifter and top/bottom labels. This size jar contains 3/4 teaspoon which has a minimum net gram weight of 1.6 grams. I label jar weights on the conservatively low side. Product ranges in weight depending on formula from 1.6 to 2 grams.

    Aromaleigh has SO many shade and coverage options, it makes it easy to find a perfect match. The prices are reasonable, but I still love that you can purchase samples so that you can try them before making a bigger commitment. Also, I break out easily, so I'm always nervous to try any new cosmetics, but these have all been great! I highly recommend any Aromaleigh products! :)

    Aromaleigh products are Rolls Royce quality at VW prices. No matter your complexion color you will find products to make you look fabulous. My skin is uber sensitive and in 10 years of use I have never had a breakout, rash or other negative reaction from any of the products. I love that I can order a ton of samples at a ridiculous low price to try colors I might not otherwise give try and have found some favorites that way. High Quality products, wonderful selection, reasonable (dare I say cheap?) prices and a woman owned small business = win win win!

    I first discovered Aromaleigh in 2002, when I was directed to the owner's book on Aromatherapy and animals. I fell in love with so many of her products and have turned more than a few of my friends on to her mineral makeup. Everything is hand-crafted, lovingly packaged, and a joy to use.

    I've been using Aromaleigh for about 8 years now and absolutely love every product I've tried of theirs. When I switched over to using the foundation my skin started looking and feeling better than it ever has. I love the wide range of shades with foundation, blush and eyeshadow! Highly recommend.

    Mineral makeup has great benefits over "traditional" makeup. I wear Aromaleigh because it is terrific if you have sensitive skin. It has natural, built-in sunscreen qualities. It goes on beautifully, and lasts longer than traditional makeup. But mineral makeup is not all the same! Aromaleigh mineral makeup is the real deal. No fillers, no bad stuff, just pure minerals. And it makes a huge difference on your face. Aromaleigh is the only makeup I use for foundation, blush and eyeshadow. There are SO MANY color choices, and picking what works for you is easy because she offers sample baggies that are inexpensive. They're my favorite thing to make sure I get just the right shades for me, and allows me to affordably try new fun colors of eyeshadows and blushes.

    I was always told that aging skin needed liquid or some form of cream foundation. After these forms failed me over and over, I decided to go back to mineral foundation that I used years ago. I found Aromaleigh and purchased sample baggies/jars of foundation, cheek and eye colors and was thrilled how well my skin responded. I have oily, acne prone, and aging skin, and this mineral foundation looks amazing on my skin all day! The primer and finishing powders, and highlighters work beautifully too! There are products for every need. As for eyeshadow and cheek colors…you couldn’t ask for a wider range of colors! The sample baggies are a perfect way to test the products before you spend more. With mineral makeup you have total control of how much you use and they’re mixable and long lasting. These are superior products and I love everything I’ve purchased!

    I've been wearing Aromaleigh foundation for more than a decade. The range of foundation shades is HUGE and I love that Aromaleigh has a foundation to match my fair pink-toned skin. There are also different finishes you can choose from depending on what type of look you prefer. And the way it makes my skin look fine silk! There's no other mineral foundation like it in terms of feel, look, and color range! If your skintone is hard to match, just get a few samples and mix and match until you find the right shade for you!

    I've been using Aromaleigh since roughly 2015 and have loved every product I've ever purchased. As a very pale person, at a time when the market was flooded is bronzes and gold toned makeups, Aromaleigh had the only foundations and highlighters that work for my skin tone. And the colour options are just phenomenal in every aspect. Everything is so well made and light weight that I've continued to use Aromaleigh through the years.

    I had to write a separate review for Aromaleigh eyeshadows because of the sheer number of them! Oh, my; it's like being in the best candy shop in the entire world!!! I kid you not. The eyeshadow portfolio is both huge and genius. You will never find a color range like it anywhere else in the world: the mattes, the shimmers, the sparkles--and the crown jewel--the duochromes, or "traveling" shades! Each color is a revelation unto itself with its carefully blended colors and sparks, shimmers, and/or glitters. Truly gaspworthy! And the textures are superb and coverage to die for. These are not meek, mousy boring shadows. They are strong, witty, clever, and bold!

    Fantastic products and service from Aromaleigh for two decades! I absolutely love that the eye products are all clearly labeled with ingredients- a real boon for those with sensitive skin and eyes! The face products are amazing quality and very affordable, and blendable to achieve a perfect match. I adore this company!

    I've been purchasing Aromaleigh since at least 2015. I started with a few "oooh shiny!!" shades but have found myself coming back over and over again for the every day basics. Prelude powder is a staple for me, and I only add the Dewdrop foundation if I need "full" coverage. But Prelude is such a light, easy to wear skin perfecter that I get compliments on! The Norse mattes start most of my eyeshadow looks, and I love how easy they are to blend with high impact shades.

    I have been a regular customer of Aromaleigh for over 20 years. In all that time I’ve never been unhappy with anything I’ve ordered! Through the years I’ve gotten many compliments on my skin, how good I look, and many times the color of my eyeshadow. Cristiana is a very talented and exacting artist that pours so much beauty into her creations. She also listens to her customers and is very attentive to messages/contact. If you’re thinking of trying Aromaleigh, do it. I’m betting you’ll love it!

    I've been buying from Aromaleigh for quite a few years. At this point, it is pretty much all I use. I'm a sucker for her collections, each of which seems to be even better than the last. Lots of options for everyone. I'm a big fan of sparkles - old, short, and dumpy, so sales clerks and men walking towards me tend to ignore me. Glitter keeps men from walking into me, at least. Lots of sparkles to choose from, but also plenty of more subdued shades for those who prefer them.

    I love Aromaleigh Cosmetics!! I wear make up almost daily. Aromaleigh has been my go to for almost 20 years. I have hundreds of shadows and dozen of blushes. I really enjoy putting on my Aromaleigh every morning. I found Aromaleigh because my sensitive skin was reacting to other cosmetics ingredients. I didn't have the problem with Aromaleigh because ingredients were listed and Christiana answered my dozens of questions and helped me isolate what I was reacting too. I share Aromaleigh every chance I get and I've brought many friends and family to the Aromaleigh addiction.

    I have been a customer of Aromaleigh for quite a long time. I love all of their products that I have tried, especially their eyeshadows. The variety of colors is amazing and the owner comes out with new ones all the time. A lot of thought goes into her themed collections as well, which is reflected in the gorgeous packaging. I also love the mineral foundations and lip products. I definitely recommend that anyone who loves beautiful and unique makeup products look into Aromaleigh.
