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
Well, I've made a few more scarves (can't have enough of them in humid 86 degree weather, right? hehe). And I've also been making a bunch of felt critters out of THIS BOOK (a lovely gift from my most recent Switch Witch!). Here is a picture of those:
I forgot to take pictures of the rest of the scarves. Oopsy! But the animals were a big hit with the children of one of the guys at my new job. So, yay!
I needed to do a little "inventory", to see what i have kept with all the sales/swaps I have gone through!

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:
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!
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
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.
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!
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
d
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 felt too much like a BPAL Whore today when I realized the newest post in my blog was just my "keeping track" post. SO, I figured I would make a new entry today, so that everyone would not be greeted by that if they decided to look into my little world a bit. LOL.
We were on vacation last week, and were able to totally lose our minds and go skydiving! Here are some crazy unflattering, yet hilarious pictures:
http://www.boomspeed.com/evltemptress/pictures/skydiving/
Midway is my "flavor of the day"... and I am still getting whiffs of it now (2pm) from having put it on at 7am. Gotta love that! Funny that I would love that scent anyway, when back in April (when I was bitten by that BPAL bug) I was totally turned off by every foody scent I sniffed.
YUMMY!!! I love smelling like a 10 year old with candy all over their fingers.
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 *
Well, I'm going to be an aunt (as I think I've previously mentioned)... and somehow became really motivated and decided that i really had to make this for my future niece:
And it was well received at the baby shower this past Sunday! I was really scared, but apparently it was a hit. LOL!
*phew* I was going through total withdrawal without this forum for a while... I guess that is sort of a lame statement, but I truly don't have much going on in my life, and I'm obsessed! hehe.
I got TWO packages yesterday!
From Chouchen:
Embalming Fluid 5ml
Frumious Bandersnatch 5ml (small amount left)
Moon Rose (Frimp!)
candy & sample of Lush soap (Frimp!)
From ReedSong (my first real SWAP... yay!):
City in the Sea
Empyreal Mist
sniffies of: Peacock Queen & Peony Moon
I can't wait to get the rest of what I have coming to me!
p.s. I started up a LJ BPAL Feedback page HERE... and realized I didn't know this existed... I just went back through all my sales/purchases/swaps to see if those people had feedback pages, and only found a few. If I did BPALbusiness with you, and you have a feedback page, let me know! Sorry I hadn't known about it before (i know you're not supposed to ask people for feedback, but this is me saying I want to leave feedback, just don't have your link).
I think I am having a bit of a meltdown Honestly. I am so sorry to all the people that I normally talk to all the time, because I just haven't had it in me to reply to anything (let alone even read the things waiting for me to reply to). I hope you all can understand. I just don't know what to do. More specifically, i don't know what I should be doING. You know, with my LIFE.
My new favorite BPAL came in the mail today: Peacock Queen!! I got a 5ml (really, on a whim... which ROCKS) and a frimp of Lampades from zenvodunista I'm so in love with this scent, I can't even tell you... best ever!!
