I ordered an Imp of High John and it smells divine! And seems to work as well

However all the oils in the other vials are christal clear while High John is a milky yellow and not transparant.

Is this normal? Well it smell good so I guess...

Any advice? Can it be the cold weather?

especially sinus ones from any BPAL perfumes?

Apologies if this topic exists elsewhere, but I couldn't find one - please merge and point me to the proper topic if it already exists

I ordered 12 wand caps from the BPAL site, and was wondering what do other BPAListas do with the 'standard' caps afterwards?

I'm at a loss - do you clean & store* them? toss them? other?

*if clean & store - how do you clean them?

Please share your preferred practice with the old 'standard' caps when switching out to wand caps (or reducer caps)

Thanks fellow forumites & MODs

Basically a newbie guide.

Was this discontinued?

A lot of the more recent questions in this thread are about scents whose names are too short to search for. Check out the post here if you find yourself in possession of a mysterious imp with a very short name... like Tum, Imp or even Eat Me.

but here's a little history for the non-busties (or the not-at-the-time-i-rambled-about-this-busties):

snake oil loves me

i love snake oil

BUT

a very little snake oil goes a loooooooong way on me

and i'm talking literally one drop is on the borderline between enough/too much

i thought about using a carrier oil to dilute it, but decided that's more effort than it's worth

so anyways, i have a 10 ml bottle of it, coz i do love it. but, since i have to be careful to get not alot on me, i haven't figured out how to apply it. for awhile, i was taking the wand from my sample, but my sister has my sample these days so that's not even an option...

ive been thinking about getting one of those bottles with droppers, but i'm not sure if i should (i'm moving in 2.5 months, and probably moving 3 months after that - the first out of my apartment here and into my parents' or summer employment, the second from my parents/summer employment to my new school, where i'll happily live for the next 2-6 years) - if they can't keep the top on that well, that'd majorly suck.

Oh... and by the way - peppermint oil is my GODSEND when I've got a headache. It helps while the meds kick in. *mwa* *mwa*

I recently made my third BPAL order (which, I must say, was gargantuan) and as well as a mass of imps decided to purchase full bottles of three of my favourite samples (Cleric, Dance of Death and The Caterpillar) from a previous order. Upon opening the bottles I was immediately struck by the fact that they smelt quite different to the imps I had received previously. They all smelt pleasant and 2 of the 3 were vaguely reminiscent of what I had loved before but still remarkably different. Dance of Death was the most like what I remembered, just much fresher, brighter and less dry than the imp. I assume that after sitting to rest for a while it will smell more like it did before. Cleric is still lovely but does not have the strong rose incense-y warmth that I fell in love with last time, and The Caterpillar smells like a pretty floral but completely different to the somewhat heavy, incense-laden scent of the imp. Some of the new imps I have tried also lack the smoky incense scent that I expected and others described (I am definitely an incense lover if that wasn't obvious!). I considered it could be a matter of skin chemistry not amplifying certain notes but I have not had that problem with incense before. Is this something anyone else has experienced or am I just losing it? Could it perhaps be that they need to age for a while, since I assume the imps I had last year could have maybe rested for a few weeks before I got them? 

Also, take a shot every time I say incense..

When it states that Halloweenies are going down on the 14th, does this mean like 12:01 AM PST on the 14th, or 11:59 PM PST on the 13th, or what? Does this mean both BPAL and BPTP?

And will the new 13 blend disappear at one of those same times?

Questions are somewhat urgent, as I must borrow a friend's computer to make orders.

I did email CS abt this on Thursday, noon EST, marked urgent, and have yet to see a reply.

Hope this isn't a sacrilegious question to ask!

I've accumulated quite a few BPAL scents over the years. I love most of them, but others I have hardly used - some are great in the bottle but not on my skin, others I got because I was curious about a scent only to find I don't like wearing a particular note that I otherwise enjoy (myrrh is the biggest culprit, sadly). I'm very tempted by a few of the Yule 2023 scents but I feel bad ordering more when I've already got a good bunch, so I want to use up some of the ones I have. 

Can someone suggest ways to use the oils other than as perfume? 

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thought I'd add this here instead of making a new thread but... a couple of things I was thinking was anointing candles and using in an oil diffuser, but I know with some scents and brands the heat could potentially break down the oils into stuff that I shouldn't be inhaling... any advice there regarding BPAL specifically? 

I was going to place another order for imps, but the field I mentioned previously isn't there anymore. Are the imps temporarily unavailable, or is there another way to select which scents to buy?

Anyone with experience taking BPAL through the airport? I only travel with a carry-on because I fly standby, so checked luggage is not a possible solution.

I am just new to BPAL, and was wondering if anyone had any pictures of what the BPAL bottles look like that they could show me?

Thanks,

Casey

There I said it.

Now clearly the obvious answer is a deadpan "Your hair." but more specifically are they just for scent purposes, are they a leave-in conditioner, should they go on clean/dirty/wet hair..? I'd been ignoring them since I didn't "Get it" but I got one as a freebie from paperflower's winter decant circle and it really does smell great. So to avoid it sitting around gathering dust in my bathroom for the next few years I decided to reach out for help. How do you use your hair gloss?

I've also noticed that the fonts sometimes have the faintest difference. Some are a little clearer and bolder, maybe a fraction of a point bigger. (between multiple copies of the same scent)

Is this a known way of dating your imps? Is it merely that they were running low on toner when printing those labels?

I apologize for the inconvenience.
