    YAY!

    By eviltemptressdq,

    So, I attended a Meet & Sniff yesterday at RHM's house (in NJ). What fun! All the girls there were SO sweet, and had my cracking up. On top of that, everyone was very open to allowing me, the ditzy newbie, to stick my nose in all their BPAL! I'm sure I commited a zillion faux pas, but nobody seemed to even mind. Sorry to all the girls for anything stupid I may have said/did (including asking for a June Gloom imp and mispronoucing probably a million scent names! LMAO. i'm an ass).
     
    HennaFairy and I were so exhausted when we got home, but still went through each other's new stuff... then ate dinner, watched a hilariously HORRIBLE movie (i forget the name, but i saw Heather Grahams breasts and one of the Fiennes' brother's ass quite a lot), and seriously passed out at 10:30! my arms are all stinky (in a good way!), too.
     
    My favorite thing that I got at the M&S ends up being the Bunny Musk. Who knew? that wasn't even on my wishlist, and I thought I would HATE it (i'm very anti baby powder, and I thought that would be the smell... it isn't!). I love Sea of Glass and the Hesperides, too! And Bearded Lady... and, well, I picked up a ton of frimps... I put them all in my box, and sort of lost track of who I got them all from (sorry ladies! if you remember what you gave me, feel free to let me know and I'll update my swaps list a little better. *duh*).
     
    Oh, and I'm obsessed with Snow White, too! it smells EXACTLY like Bath & Body Works' "Refreshing Garden Mint" that they discontinued a few years back, and I still am hoarding a small amount of lotion from. hehe. I cried when that disappeared!! Joseybird was kind enough to sell me a decant of hers... now I can take my time searching for a full bottle. YUM!
     
    i'm all sniffed out!
     
     
    ... for a few days, at least

    I am becoming a bigger and bigger fan of swapping!!
     
    Today I got the following from Reedsong:
     
    libertine
    utrennyaya
    brisingamen
     
    Swapping rocks!!! It gives me the chance to try things on my wishlist without spending a ton of money, and it also allows me to test out a few I may not have tried on my own... woohoo!!

    Hooray! I got some great BPAL packs in the mail today:

    Blessing of Isis (TAL
    FreakShow
    Baneberry (frimp! and possibly a new favorite!)
    2 pieces of Villianess soap (frimps!): Moonlight & Ugly Magnolia, Beguiling
     
    From maewitch:
    Trick or Treat
    Gingerbread Poppet
    La Fee Verte
    2, 5, & 7 (frimp!!)
    2 "Soaps*Salts*Etc!" samples (Pink Sugar & Jack Frost) frimps!
    1 "Green Lady Soap" sample (Tart au Citron) frimp!
     
    The 2 ladies ROCK! I'm overwhelmed (and happy!)

    oh geez...

    By eviltemptressdq,

    Ok, well I ordered Hungry Ghost Moon... and added in Chaos Theory 3 (even though I have til August). It seemed a shame to just order one bottle (because of shipping costs). I'll order the OTHER new one sometime between now and August They all are so yummy sounding!! I'm really obsessed with the idea of CT3, too... can't wait to see what they pick for me!
     
    *hope i like it*
  12. eviltemptressdq
    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!
  15. eviltemptressdq
    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...
  17. eviltemptressdq
    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
  19. eviltemptressdq
    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.
  20. eviltemptressdq
    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!
  21. eviltemptressdq
    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
     

  22. eviltemptressdq
    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!
  23. eviltemptressdq
    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

    from jejunery:
     
    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 *
  25. eviltemptressdq
    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
