I just got my 3 imps from Caltha:
Annabel Lee
New Orleans
Yerevan
I love all three! Of course New Orleans totally turned into jasmine, like most others involving it... hehe... so I basically have about 5 oils that smell exactly the same on me! But at least I like it!
Yerevan and Annabel Lee are delicious!
I got a package today from ancilla:
rose red
mi-go brain canister
holiday moon
black dahlia (duh! i had gotten this from 2 people)
Woohoo! So far, I'm really digging Mi-go
Woot!! I got THREE packages today with BPAL!
Here is what I got:
from Beatrice33:
5ml Beltane ('05, i think?)
neo-tokyo
empyreal mist
white rabbit
tarot: the world
FRIMP: ummm... I feel badly, because I opened all my three packs in a hurried excited way, and I'm not sure exactly who gave me what frimps! DUH. I believe this one came with a sample of Tranquilty oil from www.sonomascentstudio.com!
from aidenraine:
fae
rosalind
black dahlia
FRIMP: I *think* this wass the one with a cute perfume sample included
from caramialove:
5ml Dirty (yay!!)
FRIMPS: le serpent qui danse, titus andronicus, AND ahathoor!!
Someone of these three also gave me a sample of Lush shower gel, and someone else gave me an official BPAL postcard! I just wish I had thought about it when I opened everything. hehe. Just as long as all three know I appreciated it all, I should be A-Ok
So far, I know that I want a bottle of Empyreal Mist. I also know that White Rabbit made me gag a little. LOL.
sacred_poetry had 11 imps (and one freebie to sniff) listed for the bargain price of 20 bucks! So, well, i bought it. None were even on my wishlist! I just wanted it, and figured i could easily resell or swap out anything I didn't like Here is the list:
Smut
Pumpkin Patch #1
Mistletoe
Lick it
Thunderbird
Nosferatu,
Jabberwocky
Danse Macabre
Faustus
Carnal
Villain
Stardust (empty sniffie)
I'm excited! I like trying new things, because I guess I never know what I'll end up liking
Well, I just caught up with all my reviews of scents I've tried so far (yay!). Seems I have 6 imps now that are ready for HennaFairy to sniff... then swap off (to her or whomever). They are: Cordelia, Catherine, Bayou, Medea, Undertow, and Ultraviolet (or, as I call it, Urinal Cake). Ew.
On top of that, I wanted to start a list of people I've completed swaps/sales with here, and just sort them Good/Bad... with "*" meaning I got frimps. So far? I have yet to have a bad experience *knocks on wood*:
GOOD
Ah Xia SOLD TO... paid right away
zenvodunista * (BPAL)
purplegirl * (BPAL & more!)
ReedSong *
neuilly
Chouchen * (BPAL & more!)

ayelienne * BPAL (LE!)
jejunery * BPAL (from Wishlist! YAY)
SevenSins * BPAL
Hayet
Allidavie
Maewitch* BPAL
cybra111* BPAL

eos
bayou
catherine
titania (frimp!)
Titania was on my wishlist, too, so special thanks to jejunery for thinking about what she sent me .
That one ALSO seems to be my favorite out of the 4! YAY.
*still didn't get my bottles from Germany. I want to cry *
is a bit overwhelming! Last night's Lab update is my first as a BPALer, and I'm sort of flipping out! How can I begin like this! LOL. There are TOO many new items! I may be crazy, but I'm pretty sure they do not normally add so many new items at once *scared*
*wallet runs and hides*
I'm definitely ordering Litha. Lotus Moon doesn't really appeal to me, so hopefully when I sniff HennaFairy's whenever she gets it I won't like it. LOL. As for the Dragon scents, I know I am not getting any of those (dragon's blood scent honestly makes me gag. oops). And the Salon!?? Yikes. I love the way all of that is laid out, and designed... but since they are GC, I'm not going to freak out and order a ton (as they won't be leaving any time soon). Phew.
Then there are THREE new categories sitting on the Lab's page waiting for debuts. AND more will be added to GC & the Salon!
So, my plan is to order Litha before it is over. Then probably just an imps pack of 6, to get a few items on my wishlist that I don't tend to see on people's sales/swaps lists.
still awaiting my shipment from Germany. It BETTER get here before the Meet N Sniff in NJ next weekend!! grr...
I just ordered 3 imps from Caltha:
Annabel Lee
New Orleans
Yerevan
Their prices were very cheap/reasonable! Especially for shipping from Sweden
As well, 3 from aidenraine:
rosalind
fae
black dahlia
And, 3 from jejunery:
bayou
catherine
eos
I received some imps today from ayelienne! They were:
Dirty
Persephone
Thaleia
Delirium
Ultraviolet
Yuletide (frimp!)
I am losing my mind, though, and had already gotten Ultraviolet. I had delerium, too, but wanted a 2nd one (liked it enough for that, but not a full bottle).
DIRTY IS THE BEST SMELL EVER> It is liquid Bounce dryer sheets!
I also got my package of perfume sample vials from SevenSins... along with a friimp of Medea!! She rocks!
well, the pack I got on Ebay should be coming soon, so I needed to get my ass in gear and start making the icons that I will be using on the labels (for the decants). Here is what I got done so far:
Thought I'd not be able to find a bottle of Ligeia, so I just went to BPAL and ordered a full bottle. Talk about good timing! It is, this morning, no longer available. I also got a bottle of La Belle Au Bois Dormant (my boyfriend digs that one). I will get Endymion, Embalming Fluid, and Amsterdam sometime, too!
Hooray! I just got my 2nd package from the forum... this time from aedes Here is what I got:
ligeia
cordelia
endymion
amsterdam
I haven't even had a chance to sniff them yet, but will so in a few mins! I still have to do the reviews for the other ones I got on Friday (AND the 3 I remember that I tested from HennaFairy over the weekend). I'm such a slacker!
*EDIT: I am seriously IN LOVE with these scents. All four. Must own 3. WTF can I do now? Must buy bottle of Ligeia TONIGHT before it is no longer available. Geez. Want Endymion and Amsterdam bottles, too! YIKES!! Gotta update my wishlist, I suppose! maybe someone will swap bottles of those two for bottle I get from my Ebay purchase
I got a small packet of imps yesterday from pink.owl! I was a busy bee last night, but managed to sniff and test these a little... I'll do a little bit more of that this weekend, and post my reviews soon Here is what I got:
belladonna
delirium
juliet
la belle au bois dormant
lolita
undertow
embalming fluid
My boyfriend LOVED la belle on me. hehe. It was my 2nd favorite to Embalming Fluid (special thanks to her for throwing in that one, even though it wasnt on her list originally!). EF smells similar to Calliope, but minus that heavy lavendar. Which means it is PERFECT! hehe.
I think it was BellaDonna that smelled like medicine. LOL. I liked Juliet a lot, too... but it got pretty musky as it wore off on my wrist... maybe I'll try burning that one with a candle.
All I know is that my boyfriend will now pay for me to get a bottle of la belle. LOL. And I will try to find one of EF

and ordered some more imps from a forum member! I'm hoping they don't take too long to get to me, so that I'll have something to discuss on here "for real", soon. Here is what I am getting:
belladonna
delirium
juliet
la belle au bois dormant
lolita
undertow
and the bonus of "embalming fluid", which I asked about and she had! Thanks for the suggestion!
Of course Katie just pointed out to me that I already ordered Juliet. *sigh* I'm just such a ditz... I'm lucky it was only 1 repeat! It is just insane that with the zillions of flavours, I still managed to repeat one. I have the cool spreadsheet, but no Excel at home! And, honestly, I swore I even double checked. LOL.
I also decided to make some icons for what I have ordered (didn't finish yet), but I'm not sure anyone liked them :-X I posted them, and everyone sort of ignored it. Oops. I guess I suck! LOL. Here is what I made so far:
If you happen to like them, feel free to use them! No need to credit... but please save them to your own computer (no hotlinking). Yay!
