Aromaleigh seems to be adopting a business model I've seen on a few other MMU sites: the monthly collection. A new collection every 30 days or so, and only available for 30 days, so don't wait to see others' FoTDs, order your own sample collection and choose the colors you want! On the one hand, I love monthly collections because there's newness coming out every month (and with a collection, I don't have to buy the whole thing just to get two or three colors.) On the other hand, trying to keep up with the release rate of monthly "limited edition" collections isn't really going to be a part of my world any more, with the economy changing the way it is. Additionally, Aromaleigh has the most costly MMU samples I'm aware of, with 6 or 7 applications' worth costing $1, so purchasing samples of each and every "monthly" collection isn't really a viable option.
