Potion Master

If anyone is local, come on down to the First Friday Party at the shop, Oct 5th, 5-9 pm. This is our Halloween bash, costumes and all, and it's going to be insane. Free feast and libations, free perfume and soap samples. I have an AWESOME Cauldron Punch planned...I am calling it Plasma Punch. I have special cupcakes ordered from the bakery...I am doing it up. So if you;re around, come join us!

I just updated the first post to include info about prints if anyone is interested! Posting here as well so nobody misses it.... Amazing images from our guest artist of the month, Shannon Stamey! Shannon says of himself: "Self-taught, traditional illustrator from rural North Carolina. Inspired, in large part, by the Golden Age greats, film, blustery mornings, late nights and my record collection." The following are available as 11x14 prints! Baby Boo, Ebil-ish, Elume, Espiritual, Mangelwurzel, Mommy's Little Monster, Moondust Cocoa, Soul Food, Z-Day. 11"x14" prints start at $50. Anyone interested in prints can contact Shannon on Facebook or on Instagram under "October Illustrations". I encourage you all to go have a look. He has many amazing pieces to peruse, and some fabulous comic book /superhero artwork too. Not to mention, he's adorable, a work of art himself, so go ogle. A big thanks to Wendy for introducing us to his amazing work!

@Eastwood22-We ALWAYS play the game, and you are pretty close on several!

He might make some prints available of his work too.

There are several attempts at humor with the titles, but I bet you can figure them out. Any guesses what's in these?

We are not sold out yet, so still time to grab them. The scents can stay, I will have to use a different phero. Rocket Fuel has alternated between several pheros over the years.

Neroli is a gorgeous note, if you have a good quality source. What are you used to it smelling like? Musks have a floral quality too. I think it's what it says on the label. Mislabeling mistakes are extremely seldom around here.

@Eastwood22, we've got over 200 doses of Sharks at the moment, so we are ok with that for a while. And yes, when it gets low I will have it reformulated.

Eastwood, I felt the same thing about SS4W. I always say it's a 'look but don't touch' kind of blend. It's a tight black dress, but it's a power suit, and I have not given you permission to get that close to me. It was one of the first blends we started carrying but it has not been a customer favorite for a long time...I think we have others that can cover for it, such as Leather, as you say. And Eggers, maybe we can Bang up the Leather with some cops. We won't be getting anything else from this supplier. I won't be trying to reconstruct SS because it was not my blend. Gotcha was my concept, as was Popularity and Sharks, so I will be reconstructing those with a different scientist.

Welcome! If we still have Honeyed Love Potion with Gotcha...that's the one for your daughter to give a try, IMO. Thoughts, anyone?

For you butter lovers like meself... Melt the harder butters in the microwave along with the softer butters - Mango, Soy, Pumpkin Seed, Avocado butters and coconut oil (not butter) will blend well but make it much softer. Only use like 25% max of the harder butters, (Shea and Cocoa). Put in plastic bowl all together and melt for few seconds at a time..like not more than 30 seconds tops. When the hardest ones get soft blend all together and let them firm up a little if you want to use a hand blender. Otherwise, just pour all the melted stuff into a new container, leave it to sit at room temp (uncovered) for a few hours until it hardens back up. You'll know the final softness by the next day. You can remelt again using more soft butters if still too hard.

We are replacing the Etsy hosted site...it was just temporary and yes we know it sucks. There is no search option available for it. Our regular website is almost ready. Eventually we do hope to replace the SSs with other blends, yes. Mark's Love God blend may be just what we needed for the dudes. For the ladies, there are already a ton of alternatives, but we will keep experimenting.

We are no longer doing biz with the co that created the Super Sexys. The Men's version is sold out, the Women's version is very low. We have around 20 doses left. Thanks for letting me know it was showing as sold out, I just posted the last 20. And yes, anytime you can't find something or something is too complicated, you are welcome to email us and ask for an invoice. CataLunaLPMP@yahoo.com

You're probably not using enough perfume oil, and likely in the wrong places. Forget the wand. Tip the vial onto your fingertip. Apply belly button to cleavage, several stripes. Oils need heat for diffusion. If you get in alcohol, the alcohol provides the lift. Without it, you need heat, so apply to the hottest parts of your body. The wrists do not make enough heat. If it has sexual pheros, keep app points from cleavage on down. crooks of elbows, back of knees, small of back - (no hair, face, neck or ears). If it's a social blend, you can also apply to the back of the neck. Try these app tips, use more oil, and report back! Good luck!

We just secured an AMAZING guest artist. The labels will be gorgeous, I tell you, gorgeous.

We want to thank everyone who helped us raise funds for these worthy charities. The donations have been sent today, to all eight recipients. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It means that things that are offered in the 1.75 ml trial vials can be chosen. Not everything is offered that way, sorry.

I remember discussing Dalmatian Jasper and Zebra Jasper with you. This was the closest I could find! I hope you enjoy it. Was there a magical property to it that interested you? We are making crystal grids tomorrow night at the First Friday party, I will try to remember to take a picture of one with assorted jaspers.

hmmm, I never heard of such a thing..... AH HA!!!! I FOUND IT! Yes, there was a search flood control set at 15 seconds... I turned it off. Thanks for letting me know. :)
