Would you like to chat with me on the phone for 15 minutes, giving me all of my amazing details about what your dreamy, must-have, most highly coveted eyeshadow color is?
Would you then like me to make it for you, send you a nice big jar, and feature your color on the Aromaleigh website, named after you?
Well... it's not a silly dream you had last night. It's real... and it's the driving force behind this year's "Pretty Inside AND Out" DonorsChoose.org Social Media challenge.
Last year, our project, "Aromaleigh: Beauty is More than Skin Deep" raised almost $9,000, affected the lives of 5,000 students and we were the blog that raised the 2nd highest amount of money for public schools. To do that, Aromaleigh held had a lot of give-aways and contests, that you all participated in. You were all part of that! I am so proud to have such beautiful customers.
This year, we're going to get a little more personal... as you know, DonorsChoose.org is my favorite charity. Aromaleigh has already kicked off this years challenge by donating $1000 into the coffers, and I then got 2 gift cards for my Birthday from DonorsChoose and donated those, as well! (And oh, it felt great!)
Now it's your turn...
Here's the scoop. If you donate at least $15 to "Pretty Inside AND Out" DonorsChoose.org Social Media challenge. (You must donate to our challenge page) Email me your giving receipt and mailing address and I will send you the stock eyeshadow color of your choice. (Limited Editions not available) $15 is the cost of just 3 lattes or one manicure...
Just think how good it will feel to give up those little luxuries in order to help some children in public schools who are in high poverty districts, in need of funding? Plus, you get an eyeshadow!
I can make you pretty on the outside.. but only *you* have the power to be beautiful on the inside. I think that one of the most natural ways to foster inner beauty is by giving back to others.
Having a bad day? Do something nice for someone. Give back. Share. It really does make a difference, and done often enough, you will soon be glowing with a radiant beauty that doesn't come from makeup. It comes from the heart.

How to become an Aromaleigh Angel...
Now for the best part... If you donate at least $35 or more to "Pretty Inside AND Out" DonorsChoose.org Social Media challenge., you will then have the chance to have your dream eyeshadow created, and featured on the Aromaleigh website, named after you- on our special "Meet the DonorsChoose.org Aromaleigh Angels" page. You must donate to our Aromaleigh challenge page- donations made to projects not on our page do not count towards the Aromaleigh Challenge.
While there's no limit to the number of Aromaleigh Angels I will create custom shades for, there is a limit of one per customer. (For example, if you donate $70, you get one custom eyeshadow, not two)
Forward me your email from DonorsChoose.org showing me your donation of $35 or more, along with your mailing address and phone number, and we will set up 15 minutes in which to chat on the phone about your dream shade.I'll then formulate your shade, and you'll receive a 30 gram jar of it, along with 20 sample baggies, 20 labels and a scooper. Why? So that you can share some of your big 30 gram jar with all of your friends and family!
What better way to spread the love? (Please allow me 4-8 weeks to create your color- as the challenge runs through October, I anticipate that I will be creating Angel colors for a while! Of course, first to donate, first to be created...)
Every custom Angel color that is created will be featured on the Aromaleigh website, available for purchase- by all Aromaleigh customers.
Even more... 50% of the purchase price of every DonorsChoose.org Angel color sold will go BACK to DonorsChoose in the form of a donation made by Aromaleigh! Just think how far your initial donation can then get "paid forward"!
I can name the color after you, or you can choose for me to name the color in someone's honor- a friend, family member or other special person. But you will be the honored Aromaleigh Angel...
Below is our current DonorsChoose.org widget. You can get a widget like this in various sizes for your blogs or sites, too- at this link. You can also share your donations made to your Facebook accounts (DonorsChoose has this feature built-in, awesome!) Remember, your donation has to be made through the Aromaleigh Challenge page... "Pretty Inside AND Out" DonorsChoose.org Social Media challenge.
Let's watch this grow, together! Questions? Just ask... Did I leave something out? Comment and ask for further info. We're in this together, to spread the love and dedication to our nation's public school students in need.
Have a project you think should be on our giving page? Please comment with the link to the project, here in this post. I will then add to project to our challenge so that you can contribute to it. THANK YOU BEAUTIES!
