Beach Goddess

Ok, so just going on a total guess here, but your bf's friend may be jealous of you and/or jealous of him for having a great gf. He could be jealous that you're 'taking away' his buddy - guys get weird like that. I agree with all others the the guy sounds like a d-bag and probably not worth your attention. hee That said, totally understand what you mean, and love all the ideas but think I like LFM the best. Just knowing how it wears and comes across, I think it'll not challenge him and he'll have to treat you like a Queen. Or at the very least realize how awesome you are and for him to be more cool if he wants you to like him. ETA: autocorrect spelling is not my friend. I should proof more prior to clicking on 'post'.

MDC, I totally understand that - which is another reason why I'm glad these will be the NRs for 2 months. I went with a FB set (never done that prior and was a budget stretch) but more I want to try. It is soooo hard to choose. All of them seem wonderful so far and the notes on the ones I don't have, are incredible too. Such a treat, but I hear and feel your pain.

Luna - that is awesome news!!! So glad that will give more time for all to buy. This collection is such a special treat. MDC - that is actually good though, right? Since we have more time to buy FBs takes some of the panic out. Panic buying (or not buying) stresses me out. So if you want more FBs, you can breathe a bit if I'm understanding Luna's post correctly. whew!

Just rec'd - so thankful for such fast order processing and shipping. I've been waiting for the spell potions (since before we knew there would be NRs) and they are here! Squee doesn't even quite cover current feeling. And thank you for generous freebies - love the bag (green and gold), free sniffies and free bottle. Generosity is amazing, thank you. And happily surprised with the mini parchments adorned with green rose. They are perfect. I'm in such awe of this spell collection (plan to order more as soon as I can). Seriously, thanks to all at LP for making these available. Muchas Gracias! Please say these will be around for awhile.... I will happily grovel.

With recent thread re: LFN vs. Leather and given I've been in a funk with past rainy cold days, put this on a bit ago. I've already cleaned out my fridge, taken out (I won't tell you) how many bags of trash, gone to the store, stalked my mailbox 3x, and I'm just getting started. Next up scrubbing floors and bathtub. My place needs serious spring cleaning prior to spring! Given my activities (and 45 degree weather), I am wearing dark grey leggings, my fav light grey hoodie, black scarf, my glasses (giving eyes rest from contacts), no makeup and hair in messy bun on top of head. So you get the picture, I'm not exactly dressed for going out in public. And not the type of attire that attracts positive (or any) male attention. I got definite hits at the store (men opening doors which is not usual when you're dressed like grunge woman). One guy stopped his cellphone convo to check me out and talk to me. Also hits from 2 cute random guys walking their dogs when I was walking my trash out. They did triple takes, one said 'hello' and waved from all the way across the parking lot! Too funny as his head was turned towards me but he was walking his dog in other direction. I was worried he would run into something, but then he stopped and waited a minute looking at me, like he was hoping to convo from across the parking lot? It must have been my attitude with the LFN bc there's no way given distance he could have gotten whiff of me. And let's face it hoodies do not show off any assets to attract attention. I was not at all self conscious that I look a mess (a HUGE thing I love from LFN, the IDGF feeling). I also went to ask the apartment people about the mail (they can be sooo snooty), she searched through about 20 packages, just to see if there was a possibility my package was in their mail closet. Usually unless you're fully put together (hair, makeup, dressed well). - they won't lift a finger. Took her 10 minutes and when there wasn't anything there for me, she apologized to me. huh? So, posting this bc this phero is a super all purpose wonderful go-to. And though it motivates me to clean, what I finally figured out is that it motivates me to do whatever I should be doing for *myself*, whatever THAT is. Today, it's cleaning, errands, and getting my place prettier as it was a wreck. Will re-apply LFN later tonight. I'm not going out but want to do some serious beauty maintenance. Facial, mani, pedi, deep hair conditioning, the works. If I wear too much (aka slather), LFN flips my bitch switch. But my sweet spot is about 2 3inch stripes inner forearms and circle around belly button. I'm wearing with betrothal potion. Wasn't a conscious pairing as I had the scent on for a few hrs prior to applying LFN. But I think the scent also had something to do with some of the positive attention. Either way, I feel fabulous and sexy even before the hits. hee

Mine's already out for delivery - i.e. in the mailman's truck just waiting to be MINE!!! Holy awesomeness - super quick shipping as always. Hoping mailman gets here soon, I think my neighbors are becoming concerned about how many trips I've already made to my mailbox. I shall not SQUEE until they arrive... nope, not gonna, they will be here today, they are on the truck... (current mantra). ETA: The last mailbox stalk was perfect timing! My order is here, and beyond super lightning shipment (always fast but this time, wow).

I agree with BB and Rose. I really really love both of these and for me, they wear very differently. They are both awesome, but in different ways. LFN makes me feel more like the 'cat' picture on LV's Sweet Pussycat label, like catwoman - mysterious, sultry, self-confidant, strong, sexy and feminine. Leather wears more alpha, a bit less sexy (on me) but I love it for getting myself motivated - great for workouts and pushing through. And LP's description really is spot on, alpha but all feminine given it has EST in it. These are so unique and wonderful, I myself wouldn't mix these just bc I wouldn't want to ruin their effects or worse, end up with some entirely difft result.

Mel, no one can have any self control with this collection. I'm happy for you that you treated yourself! Remember, it's not an addiction, it's supporting a healthy lifestyle.

Congrats Donsie!!

Just rec'd my stamps notice!! Trying not to Squee yet..... bc then I'll keep stalking stamps.com; usps.com and my mailbox. Must. stay. calm. happy..... until of course it shows up in USPS then.... :cat690: :cat690:

Omigosh is that panda cuuuute!

It's a V!!! And wooohoooo, new rank as I am parking my broom! I've always wanted a flying broomstick - yeeeeaaaayyyy!

Me too! They really are so gorgeous, love that you do the matting too. I know I want one, just not sure which one yet as they are all so beautiful.

I agree with everyone - this is soooo good. And I don't like most florals. But as description says, it's not a floral-floral (paraphrasing). I'm certain this would layer with many many things, and I will definitely try that - I am loving this solo. I keep huffing my wrist in adoration. I will probably re-apply and huff my wrist as I go to sleep tonight. It reminds me of the happiness Beach Bunny brings me, but obviously they are quite different scents. But BBunny has plumeria in it. I've always loved this note but never had the opportunity to try it 'solo' before. I am in adoration. As soon as I can, going for a large FB of this - perhaps in spray to splurge. But given my over zealousness with current NRs, it may have to wait a bit. This is also a mood uplifter for me. It's cold and dreary outside but this scent - happiness and tropical love.

I finally bought a sample of this, glad I did. Wet in vial, smells sweet, not like sugar sweet but fruit sweet, very nice. After 1st application, goes on a bit floral for me, so I'm disappointed because all the notes are lovely. And I'm also a floral-phobe (another reason I think I waited so long to try this one). On dry down, 5 minutes in - becomes a beautiful gorgeous swirl of the notes mixing well together. My sniffer detects the peach, making it less floral on my skin. I think I can also sniff out the orange blossom, neroli, and daffodil. The more I wear (and as I huff my arm) - really like this. Also improving my mood the more I huff. I love neroli for that, always uplifting. It's delicate, airy, breezy, with the fruit and floral notes peeking out in waves. Glad this is part of permanent collection. As a vanilla, cupcake, buttercream, PINK ho and floral-phobe; this is a floral I will wear. Beautiful.

Rose and Lainey, I caved so hard too!! I didn't get any sampler sets this order bc I went for the 10 FBs which was already over budget. But I know they are all so worth it! Omigosh, never done that before. It's so exciting though, and when I can I know I will want FBs of some that I wasn't able to get this go around. And both samplers of course. So I will likely cave again when I can.... yikes.

Thanks Vlad - good info! I love the fizzy C drinks anyway and they are so good for you.

I agree with VexedGlory as far as going with what you know works for you. And I am nowhere even close to being phero expert. I am still so new, I don't think I realize how new I am. That said, if it were me, I'd go pop potion - because it makes you look/ feel awesome. If you have these and time to test prior, Maroon mentioned a combo that seems like a total win - BANG plus DHEAS. I know we shouldn't mix complex pheros, but DHEAS is single molecule, so seems like a good thing to try. I want to self test this combo myself soon. I also adore BANG solo.... hmm, that would be good too instead of Pop Potion, but it is a sexier vibe. Not too sexy though. Of course, I defer to those with more experience than myself. But go with something you've worn before and feel great with. And have fun!

I have been flipping out trying to choose, ever since I saw the notes early this am. Finally placed order, and I am so happy about this! Really hoping collection will stay around a few months because will want to be able to buy more in a (hopefully) near future order. Still in awe of this collection!

Words cannot describe how amazed I am with the notes and descriptions I've read so far. I am overwhelmed (in a positive blessing feeling way). Truly amazingly crafted/ picked notes and agree with all above, agree with no need to add phero. All the magick is already in each potion! Just amazing - my apologies for lack of better vocabulary. But between the beautiful artwork, the descriptions and of course each potion's carefully picked notes - just WOW. Truly beyond brilliant and wonderful. Such gifts, truly!! Thank you to all for creating this collection - speechless really. ETA: typos galore, "been read" should have been either "read" or "been reading". Ugh.I was mezmerized by the artwork, descriptions and glorious notes.

I was amazed (still am) by the artwork, and also to see the wonderful process, well WOW doesn't cover it. Just beyond WOOOOW!. Elizabeth, amazing, and happy to hear the artwork will be in Etsy shop!! I'm trying to keep my PreSQUEE down, because if I let it out, oh wow - just. can't. take. it. But it's bubbling.... soo excited for these to come out and for the notes of each soon too! Just brilliant work all around!!

Just rec'd my latest small order - super fast as usual. LP Pink pre-boosted with EOW (my 1st!!), so excited. Why did I wait so long as it's so economical to add in? Rec'd gorgeous red bag, my other ordered samples (including LP Pink to avoid the LP Pink Crisis as per another thread , Aja) and of course usual generous sniffies. Perfect timing. I hadn't been able to get outside all day due to work and weather but you bet I ran to my mailbox to pick up these babies. I am now slathered in LP Pink (happily so) and bundled up for this cold snap hitting east coast. ETA: stoopid typos

Vlad, do the fizz C/B vitamin drinks help prevent or minimize crashing? I've noticed it too, nothing drastic per say, but definite energy drop later. It's soo worth it though. Maroon, that is perfect way to put it!! For me, staying power with a 'full dose' (3 to 4 sprays max in 1x) is about 4-5 hours. Then I'm (yawn) and zap - out for a great nap.

They are all amazing. And I echo all, would be great to have a print available. I may need many many parchment papers for regular use purposes. Will prob have to get the money multiplier first though!! ETA: because if I could, I totally would go FB doubles, but alas. That said, and not in any particular order, love the ideas/ intent behind Blessing , Fascination, Hex Breaker, Glamour, Love Thyself, Peaceful Home... heck yes - pretty much all of them. Hence wanting to get MM and a couple of others first. Also want to echo LoveStruck on all the kittens! Truly depicts the warm fuzzies and happiness with this awesome release!

LoveStruck, I literally laughed out loud at this!! Go get inked!! Beautiful artwork Elizabeth!! Stunning and - just WOW. Such wonderful concepts, still reading through it ALL!!
