    SW makeup list!

    By tastycactuar,

    I said earlier in the SW list that I'd make a list of the About Face eyeshadows I liked from the Shespace, so here it is.
     
    Here they are, in order as you look down her complete list on the site:
     
    - Killer Bees (i'm covered in bees!)
    - Bright Outlook
    - Aphrodite Screams
    - Fire and Brimstone
    - Looked and Leaped
    - Acid Reign
    - Far too fabulous
    - Euphoric Madness
    - Pinch of Magic
    - Twisted Psychic
    - Firecracker
    - Powder Burn
    - Kitty Cat
    - Root of Evil
    - Art of Noise
    - Mesh and Lace
    - Tear Jerk
    - Reap and Sew
    - Moral Enemy
     
    so, yeah. There it is! Loads of fun colors.

    I've been thinking lately that I really want to try a number of the TALs, and I know a number of people on the SwitchWitch boards do too. So this is just a note to myself to consider running one.
     
    TALs I'd offer decants of:
     
    Caliph's Beloved
    Charisma
    Block Buster/Road Opener
    Aunt Caroline's Money Draw
    Brass Balls
    Nine Muses
     
    So they'd be 5.50 per imp maximum, to go with the lab's price cap thingie (although maybe just $5 sounds better). It looks like I could only order 4 bottles... hmm. This is hard to start out with. But there'd be 5 slots for each TAL bottle. Which is exactly the price of the bottle. That sounds nice, 'cause I don't want to screw anyone, but at the same time, I'd have to buy all the decanting supplies and shiz....
     
    Maybe I'll just put this on the backburner for now.

    So. I started out with BPAL the same way I think of all perfumes: foods. Fruits. Nummy. It's the way I've always been with perfumes- I hate florals, I hate musky stuff. I'd rather smell like a meal then smell like perfume. So when I began collecting, I started with the same things. I picked up anything that I thought had a dominant fruit note, and avoided anything else like the plague.
     
    Here's the weird thing though: I've been finding (through frimps. Hooray frimps!) that there is stuff that is NOT a foody scent predominantly that I love. Like La Bella Donna Della Mia Mente. Myrtle? Rose? WTF, I HATE rose! And yet I love this scent. It's fabulous. Or Blood Countess. Yeah, it's got plum and berries, but there's opium! and rose! and lilac! Crap, I thought I hated florals?
     
    Also, there's foody scents that I've discovered I don't like. Wow. Like 13. I've got a bottle of it, but it's so bitter and yuk - like a bar of chocolate that sat out on the counter for a month and is now all dessicated and gross. Every single ingredient in there sounded delicious, and I just can't wear it. What a shame. And then there's Ventriloquist's Dummy - there's supposed to be apricot in there, but I can't even stand the smell in the bottle enough to try it out on me.
     
    But then, there's the obvious: I LOVE Titania. Love. and I love Yemaya, and Fruit Moon....
     
    It's just neat to see the other notes in there that I could have sworn I hated.
