Beach Goddess

Thank you Halo!!! I can be a voracious reader - especially with this forum - trying to be a sponge right now to learn as much as I can. And with sale pending (not that I can wait to order until then - my GUS list is already HUGE). And I agree - I wasn't sure when I 1st started posting if anyone would accept a newbie or even think any review I had would be worth their time given their knowledge and experience. But WOW - I've been welcomed here with open arms by so many. Now I just need to figure out a new budget for my LP perfume Love!! But it's sooo worth it, that I already know & feel.

Hi Suki - so agree with both your reviews on this - lovin' me some LAM! HI Hinzmanal - can you describe LAM Pink - is that the pink amber? Love LP Pink - and based on other's input seems I must have LAM Pink too. Just curius as to how it smells and if what selfies/ experiences you may have had with it.

OMG - LAM Pink Amber is soo only list - especially given your input - thank you! So just for personal sniffing and selfies - put on the LAM yesterday, later in day followed with a small dab of LP Rouge with LFM, and then later in day - just bc - added some LP Pink. OH - have a good story! So, LP is def helping me feel like I'm getting my groove back - went to grocery store late last nite (I'm wearing all of these since the am/ mid day) - and with only tinted moisturizer on, hair in top knot on head, shorts (so not styling but feeling confident). Noticed a few random cute guys checking me out - unusual given how I was dressed, looking tired from work week (eyes blearly, were drooping a bit - ugh!) The cuuute young (early 20s, guessing) check out dude was trying to help me find my store card on my keychain - I don't have the card on my keychain - he ended up almost knocking my keys over. This is a 1st. I've been there before & he's checked my groceries out before. He is a cutie. Anyhooooooo Then... he scrambled to keep my keys from falling, apologizing, saying, ' I didn't mean to be grabby'. Hehe. I use my own cooler bag & he was helping me pack this (not unusual) but then he was worried & seemed *actually semi-sad* that everything wouldn't fit into the bag as he knew I wanted to put all in 1 bag. Then he turned & smiled, saying 'but if you want to be the boss that's ok too'. He was referencing my potential re-packing of the bag. But the look he gav me... WOW! Anyhow - so not a great sexy mind blowing story. But this guy was definitely seeming a bit smitten -- soo cute - as was he.!! Going out tonight - may try same combo - smells divine, great selfies, and what seemed like one or 2 small hits! I've only been using very tiny amt, so may amp it up the tiniest bit tonight - still keeping things small until I know how to 'handle' this new ' responsibility'.

Hi everyone - I've been gushing over with posts & reviews since joining so recently - but want to give a very heartfelt thank YOU for your welcomes, advice, & reviews on forum. There have been a handful of you that have been so welcoming & helpful - muchas gracias! To EVERYONE who has welcomed me - very sincere thank you! This forum is such a special and supportive place, I'm lucky to have found. So much to learn, but going to have so much fun doing it.

Thanks Birkeys! (Or do you go by Jill? think I saw that in posts). Thanks on avatar - - Kate Upton is so beautiful, wanting to channel. And YES - everyone has helped me soo much. I read forums like a mad woman prior to 1st order as I so much wanted to try as many things as possible. I love Pinkish perfumes - LP Pink makes me swoon - layered with Buttercream peach LAM... OMG. I want to try the pink LAM and BAM next. For OCCO - do you prefer pink or white - or have you had opp to try both? I def want to try both of those. And LP Black based on Lady V's feedback (she along with so many others ROCK!!).

Welcome Fatale!! I'm new here too - just rec'd first order this week. I've been so happily surprised by how friendly & helpful everyone is!!

That is awesome story Dolly! I love the, ""I take it that you had a good time?"....LOL!! I am certain LAM will be one of my staples, can't wait to try other flavors.

Thanks missdarlyncherie!! Beautiful chic avatar! I'll be playing with this more and more. I enjoyed wearing even by myself. I was wiped out tired and it put me into dreamy flirty state of mind. And hours later, when I finally went to sleep for night, had awesome vivid but languid dreams. I was very very wiped out prior - usually that means cranky, lack of dreams, and some stress/ anxiety. LAM put a whammy on that and re-set me in some ways... LAM is a complex scent/ experience. Have 2 trial vials - def FB when able. I have a few others on my GUS list so hoping my trial vials hold out until I can get a 3rd order. And I haven't placed 2nd one yet but have a feeling that'll be this weekend, I have no willpower. I'm def going to start a journal on my new adventure with LP's goodies - must do for me. So much to play, test, enjoy and then more to play, test, enjoy... what a wonderful place LP is. I thank the universe for leading me to Beccah's blog which led me here.

Thanks Hearts!! Adding those my 'growing by the second' GUS list!! Just tried LP Pink for 1st time.. in HEAVEN right now. Only have samples, so glad this one is PERM or I think I would honestly cry - in love at this moment. Hope to play and test more & write review. Having wickedly good thoughts about boosters to add. heee

So rec'd my trial size LP Pink yesterday - just dabbed a bit on - so will write back once can do full review and some other playing/ testing. That aside - OMG!!! So far, I am full on head over heels, spin me around, IN LOVE with this! I'm going to read up on any boosters, but I **MUST** have this in FB and get boosters separate. I'm already thinking of 2 FB to start hoarding - seriously - soo glad part of PERM collection. It is sweet, light, delicate, buttery, smooth, sexy, sensual, I can't express myself.Gorgeous, stunning, uplifting, feminine (good balance of girl/ woman). In love. I don't know if what I rec'd is from 2009 or another re-brew (most likely re-brew given it's 2014 now) but I didn't want to start a new thread when LP Pink already has its own. And rightly so!! I 100% understand how this can be versatile as noted in other reviews & forums - fantastic alone (most def), super layerable with other similar scents, and would be good to cover any boosters. I'll write a 'real' review soon to give this justice - bc it deserves a whole lot of time and testing. Really love this - FB for sure as soon and fast as I can! Ok - going back to sniffing myself and the air around me - fragrance wafting. Yum super pink sexy vanilla butter berry LOVE.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Thanks for encouragement - this community is really nice, supportive, and all around AWESOME. Agree with dating myself part - have actually been working on that mindset - but I do like men so.... ahem. Anyhoooooo, all good with ex, we're actually pretty amicable which is nice. We don't talk much but no animosity either - so all good there. Love that search line - that is actually mine right now in my head - trying to get sparkle back, it is on its way but want it to hurry the F up. I'll add LP Black to my next sample list - I need something to help give me more of a backbone sometimes I think - or self confidence really. I L.O.V.E. cupcakey scents, buttercream, cakes and pink sugar too - absolutely - and some even if they have an undertone of smokey musk, but just a hint- so if you know scents in either of those arena, feel free to share info. I have sample of the LP Incandescense (still can't spell it!) - that'll be my next sniff and review bc it's supposed to be highly cupcakey with boosters. YUMMMMMMMMM.

I want some of your attitude - gonna work to adopt/ adapt my own to that - truly! Just curious - any scents that help give that confidence and attitude? I would def welcome any 'boosts' to get me back to that place. Honestly was there right after divorce as had time to get used to thought of it all prior - that said, something else 'zapped' any good 'edge' like that out of me... gaining it back but slower than I'd like.

Hi LadyVictoria - I know the post is a few months old - but I wanted to give you kudos or high-5 for that post - made me actually laugh out loud!! Could totally pic a guy on that label - hilarious!! What about Sugar Sugar Pink Sugar Sugar Sugar Sugar? With some cottoncandy for good measure - haha. I am sugar happy and just LAM'd myself earlier (1st test ever) - apologies for my silliness but also blaming my lack of sleep last nite a tad. Anyhow- awesome news - love sugar and love to layer scents.

Thanks Beccah! I feel lucky in that my divorce wasn't super ugly, very super anti-climatic though. Felt stunned most of time even though I was one who initiated but just bc wasn't feeling any love at all. It was hard and not an easy decision by any means at all - thought @ it for 3 years (we were together @ 13 yrs) so....... basically felt ignored most of the time. And I had to do all the work (which was same with the relationship/ marriage)... so... anyhow. The weird part has been journey to feeling who I am again without that or any relationship. Made mistake of dating someone a bit too quickly after - nice distraction at times but derailed me from giving good energy back to myself & instead gave it to someone else. (slapping my forehead) Divorce-versary will be 2 yrs in a couple of months. I will say this - my exhub def says he regrets everything each time we talk. And it's just super sad no matter what that it didn't work, but I am happy that I made choice that I deserve a good relationship/ marriage. Everyone deserves that. Anyhow - I think it's different experience for anyone - but it's belonging to a club we didn't ask for - regardless of who initiated it or why. Or that's my personal take. And the ppl I know (friends of mine) that I've reconnected with that never had a long LTR or marriage (stayed in single lane), seem to have such different outlook. It's strange, I'm learning as I go I guess.

Just rec'd first order with my sample of LAM Buttercream Peach (and many others), even though not going out wanted sooo to go ahead and try. Will write another review once I'm able to actually test. That aside, work week just beyond slammed & today even more so, picked up pckg after work (soo tired too, insomnia last nite) - *LAM'd* myself... & after sniffing myself until I got dizzy from semi-hyperventilating (uber sniffing to blame, not LAM), went for quick nap bc it is/ was much needed. I found myself daydreaming (full on daydream) of my crush before my nap - def is the LAM - I was so tired/ stressed from work usually that keeps my mind off of anything else. Had very nice dreamy feeling (vs. the stressed / want to fall down feeling). Big plus. Definitely helped make me feel more calm and happy (which after today, feeling 'happy' didn't even seem like possible option as mind was work preoccupied). It's actually funny, laughing to myself now as writing this bc I'm thinking about him again - DERNIT! :Emoticons0424:Go LAM for happy thoughts @ happy things/ people. And I really only used the tiniest smidge, I cannot WAIT to try a 'real' dose. OMG!! Probably good thing I'm testing on myself. Heeeee Fragrance: at first I thought it was too peachy/ fruity on skin & I adore a good buttercream, only did small dabs on wrists and small minor lollipop on self as I am alone and don't want to 'waste' any when I can't really test today. Anyhow, it dried down quickly and has nice sweet creamy smell.The peach almost smells like a candied peach or apricot, my nose isn't fully trained yet. I definitely can't smell any cops - so all good there. I really like the honey. It's like the peach, sugar, honey are swirled together - top note to me is still peachy (good) with the sugar & honey saying, 'not so fast - we're right here too!'. It definitely is multi-dimensional that way. Not powdery on skin (I don't like powdery on myself), honestly DREAMY is the best word I can come up with now. I know that isn't a professional fragrance word - but that is what keeps coming into my head. And now I'm sniffing myself again to try to describe better. Haha. This could take me a bit to figure out. Go LAM! Promise I'll write another review once I've been able to play with this more and give it proper attention it deserves. Very happy with this!

Holy wonders of the universe - got my 1st shipment in and quick!! Not a moment too soon (was so excited) - almost started another order last night but I had one tiny part of my brain that told me to hold out for sampling. That said, I am 97% certain I've got to get at least 2 FBs sooooon!! Mara - thank you for the wonderful samples - I am amazed at the generosity - so much thank you! I felt almost greedy when I placed so many sample orders (but I *had* to try them) and having these extra gifts makes my day more than you know - esp after this week!! My gratitude to you - I will be placing new order very very soon - must HAVE at least 2 things now for sure - for one I don't even have samples but thanks to all in Forum's reviews I just KNOW I have to have them.

Thanks so much missdarlyncherie!! Just got my 1st shipment in - yaaaaaay!! I think Topper is on my growing list 'must have ' or as someone has posted GUS list!! Love that name- G.U.S.!! Soo excited to start testing and playing with my samples! So a BIG thank you to ALL in every Forum thread I've had time to read so far, who have given so many reviews on so so many things - I have sooooo much more to learn and try! But that's def part of the fun. Thanks NuTrix! I am soo happy I read until a LOT of posts prior to 1st order (even more after that order & had to change something right after) where the forum's feedback & input from so many helped me. I wouldn't have chosen Cougar otherwise probably on my 1st 'go'. Definite muchas muchas gracias to all!! There are meetups here, just again small town bums me out (moved here from much larger city w/ alot more options... sniff) but... I know it's not the place, it's the person. So I'm def hoping for some 'selfie' lifts to help me out. But the good news - is there are a fair amount of groups and with the beach so close - lots of opp for day and night stuff. But many groups have outdoors stuf where the people have experience which I don't - i.e. paddleboarding (love to try but most have a lot of exp), etc. I don't mind trying new things but when most groups are doing 3-10 mile swims or whatever - I'm like - I gotta train to go to a meetup! I promise I'll get better attitude (as I must, been telling myself that ) for as you seek, you will find -- so putting that out of my mind now. Creating new mantras for myself. Been rough work week - glad tomorrow is Friday (whew)- happpy to start testing today.

Thanks Rose!! Loving your avatar - always been fan of Bardot!!

Great info Ssup, Rose, and Blackcat! My 'must try' list is growing and I haven't rec'd 1st shipment yet! Do y'all usually buy LP Original pre-mixed/ ordered with any phero or cops blends (for those who wear pheros /cops) OR do you find it easier/ more fun to have some 'go to' phero/cops that you layer separately with other fragrances? Or maybe that's a mixed bag question - just wanting to learn as much as I can prior to next order -trying to make small but good list. I read ingredients in this one - sounds soo yummy. I like vanilla scents and sugar scents a lot. Very rarely I like cleaner scents. Just depends on mood but I guess that's what this is all about. That said, while posting this, I realize my 'cleaner' scents (I don't have my LPs yet - arrive tomorrow)- like Fresh Brown Sugar - are sweet light foodies. So... just contradicted myself I think. But I also like SJP scent - kinda musky, smoky. Ok, so I'm definitely going to LOVE trying out all of the LP scents I can. But since LP Original 'birthed' so many of these, may have to order at least 1 trial vial in next order. Description is gorgeous - notes sound yummy.

Thanks Halo, Dolly, Beccah, Rose, and QuietGuy! Hi Halo! - I thought EST meant estrogen, which I tend to be dominant in on most occassions, so def glad for that clarification. No real lab tests to prove but have things consistent with high estrogen/ estrogen dominance minor imbalance. So thank you - maybe I can get a Lumina sample somewhere down the line for those effects after all. Cool! Also thanks for heads up on come to me lover - maybe I can find a sample thru LP or trade/sale. That would be very cool. Hi QuietGuy - thanks for male perspective, I agree that I don't want to attract only a certain type of guy. Just hoping for the right kind of positive interest - thanks for info! And yes Dolly, I def can't wear those blends around my guy friend - he's already a bit too close for comfort sometimes, we've discussed boundaries. But problem is, he is my main friend here - can't go out to bars, parties or music scenes by myself in small town - they're just weird @ that - trying to meet more peeps, social blends should help. That said, he realizes boundaries are most def in place - I just def don't want him to think there's any encouragement at all. And Beccah - your blog pretty rocks - I had no idea about LP and sooo thankful for having found! I'll def check out Dolly's input on that (welcome any advice) and have cougar in my samples. I've been eyeing open windows for sure - could use lifts - esp when WFH long days can feel dreary, making me less likely to want to go out. First order should arrive tomorrow morning-ish - YAY!!!

Thanks Dolly and Halo! I don't have a man right now - part of the issue most definitely or I'd be glad to wear with him. Fairly recently single, in small town, trying to meet ppl but my closest friend is a guy friend from college (which was many many moons ago). That said, hard to meet guys bc he sometimes acts like he's a bf - very annoying & we've discussed and he's backed off. Not that I think I'm that great (don't want to come off that way), but he's my friend and that's all. I've only met maybe 2 guys I've liked and that's bc either my friend wasn't around or I was gladly able to find someone to catch my friend's interest long enough to be able to even speak to other guys when we're out. Because guys won't approach (not saying they would but he's not helping me out, saw a really cute guy one night that kept trying but stopped bc of my friend). Even then it's a pain - he knows almost everyone here - small town etc. - so if I meet ppl thru him, they either think we're dating (if its a guy) or their jealous (if it's a girl that he's actually dating or whatever is going on w/ them). Anyhow... divorced for 2 years and ready to have (safe) fun already and feel better. I feel llike I have to emit almost non-sexual energy around my guy friend bc of his intentions. And this only hurts any 'game' that I think I already don't have. I have a crush, but he's been so way beyond flakey on me - disappointed and hurt by that for sure. He's one of those hot/cold guys - which I don't like, but he wasn't that way in the beginning. He was super sweet, nice, attentive, etc. - but I guess most are at first for awhile. Anyhow - gone waaaay off topic, but really want to get my 'groove' back for lack of better word and embrace myself vs. what I've been doing. My marriage wasn't very affectionate (apparently guitar was more important than marriage - though after divorce he says that was worst mistake - sad but it's too late for that relationship) so... want to feel autonomous, sexy, single, etc. and haven't been feeling that. So how's that for early oversharing - is there an award for giving out personal info waaay too soon - or do I just wear embarrassment hat later? Anyhow- feel comfortable sharing here given this forum and how nice & supportive everyone is. Many many thanks!!

Thanks StacyK! I'm getting my thoughts set on what I'll likely buy once I get samples to confirm. It's good to hear @ Rouge LFM, Cougar, and Brown Sugar LAM. Thanks for heads up on LAM out in bars, don't want that kind of intensity. I'm definitely looking forward to Cougar - for effect on others and the 'selfies'. I read posts on how to make own spritzer so may try that in a tiny tiny batch with portion of cougar sample. I think I'm dizzy (in a good way) just thinking about all of these. I have a very small collection of perfumes but nothing like this - the true essential oils, intent, and 'boosters'. I was also checking out the love drawing forum (older posts bc it's sold out perfume) - some posters stated that LP Original plus LFM and Cops could be a good 'go to' or sub for love drawing. So many positive choices. Really appreciate all ideas - especially from those who have the knowledge - Gracias!!

Thanks Dolly! Just saw you had a FB LAM in buttercream - left post there as have feeling would love FB LAM and/or BAM. Forgot to ask if spray or oil - maybe I should ask there. I work from home so though I'm constantly communicating with others via phone email IM etc. for work, not a lot of full daily interaction outside of grocery stores, errands etc. It's convenient a lot yes - but also can be bummer. That said, friends that go out on weekends - usually bars, etc. - smaller-ish beach town and it's summertime. I'm sooo hoping my package gets here soon - will try LAM (just a touch maybe - will have sample) to see if I can get any positive responses. So maybe the cougar and LAM would get some positive attention (but not too much or scary attention- from what I've read should maybe err on conservative side maybe)? I want to try Open Windows but didn't see it as sample - will look again though. Thanks again!!

Hi all - very much a newbie to forum and all of this - just placed my first order. I happened upon LP due to Beccah's Blog - thank you Beccah! I'm hoping this is correct area for this newbie question/ post. I've ordered samples bc I don't know what to try in FB & now in reading so much, feeling overwhelmed with what to apply when, where, etc. I tend to have high EST I think but not necessarily in a good way - and I don't think it comes across as overly girly either - it's just a small imbalance I think. Based on what I've read in forum, seems I could use some DHEAS. There is a lot of info on all of this - incl FAQs - which is why I'm overwhelmed, but def excited at the same time to find this info! All of that said - if you could only buy one 'starter/ go-to' FB to have a 'sure' formula that attracts men (pulls them in) and gives good selfies - with your experience etc. what would you choose and how would you apply? I like what I've been reading out pheros and cops. I can be drabby or blue moody (not a great thing) so would love to feel more bubbly - and yes would definitely like to see what happens when using to attract more men. Recently single here - happy about it, but want to increase prospects. I've gone out sometimes and just not been feelin' the love lately - and I really think a lot of it (or some at least) is the vibes I'm sending out aren't great. When I'm happy & feeling self-confident - then feelin' the love. Anyhooo... guess I'm already oversharing. But I like this forum and sooo happy to have found this and can't wait for my 1st package to arrive. In mail today! Also - was checking out trading / sales boards - most started awhile ago and I don't know how to find the most recent sales (don't have anything for trade yet). Sorry for so many questions - but there is so much knowledge here, trying to take it all in and want to order a FB soon - like 2 weeks ago if I could. I like a lot of scents, including sweet & sugary (which from forum - sounds like it's great to cover cops <g>). I originally ordered Lumina in FB but after reading forum posts thought the high EST could hurt my already high EST or something - but would LOVE it if it gave beautifying effects/ glamour since i'm not feelin' that lately. So far ordered samples of (and it's a long list - you can see why I'm asking about 1 FB - can't swing placing another order this month except for 1 FB). Thanks to the forum already - bc I feel like I made a great choice with the samples: BAM Original (honey & sugar) Cougar PheroGirl Sexology 3 LP Gold LP Pink Pouncing Potion LP Exotica with Gotcha (new June) LP Flutterby with Heart & Soul LP Incandenscence w/ Bang (pretty sure I mis-spelled that) LP Rouge with La Femme Mystere LAM Butterpeach Creme
