  1. Thanks Honeycake! Came back to add that this is super long lasting on me. I tested a small swipe on my right forearm yesterday afternoon. Wore it all day, handwashed a large batch of dishes, went to sleep and woke up this morning and it's still on my arm. It's like it infused onto my skin! Not a complaint at all, je t'adore!
  2. Trying this out this morning. It definitely goes through distinct stages on me. Initially it was a dirty honey with a musk that I'm not used to but I really like. For about 10 minutes it kept getting brighter and brighter. During this stage I started thinking that now I know what the SLF type scent is that everyone talks about but I haven't really experienced yet w/ LPs. Still thought it was great, but was thinking I would either need to wear it super light, or not at all to work. It kept building this bright scent and then it BAM, it burst through to an explosion of golden honey. Felt like the sun just rose on my skin. I'm not concerned any more about wearing this to work. It has settled down to a honey that is slightly powdery and a wee bit musky. The musk is very light on me, though this could change upon aging. Now I am 1 hour into it and I just love how it wears close to the skin and makes me want to huff it. It is a gorgeous skin scent that isn't too sweet or musky, just purrrfect. Feels like I just experienced 50 Shades of Honey! And I love all of them
  3. This has been so nice to wear to bed. I put a swipe on each shoulder so I can breathe in the scent as I go to sleep. It's comforting and foodie, but it is perfectly balanced with the sweetness and a baked pie scent. Love this!
  4. I adore Love Potion Variants and all the "blue" type scents I have tried. And OCCO Blue, fahgetaboutit! Totally divine. Just sign me up now, I need me some LP Blue!!
  5. Ordered FBs of Eye of the Moggie, Flying Potion 2013, Lucky Dog. Samples of Cauldron Cake, Defensive Magic and Ambre Amour. I'm super curious about the Moggie & the Flying Potion.
  6. I am loving the vintage labels!! And all these cupcakes! I am going to go bake some right now. I need to have the scent of baking cupcakes in my house today.
  7. This one has been a hit and miss for me. I have this in a spray and the first few times I wore it, the results were obvious to me. Very relaxed and easy going atmosphere was had by all. People that typically are bossy in a group atmosphere were able to kick back and let others shine. Then I wore it a few times and had no results at all. I usually spray 2x, so maybe I will try out 1 spray and then slowly work up from there. Also, I think it works better for me when I am in a group of people as compared to 1-on-1 situations. I definitely need to experiment more with this.
  8. I love reaching for this one, usually on lazy Sundays when I need to do errands around the house and clear my head for the upcoming week. This was one of my first samples when I discovered LP and it's the one that made me realize I LOVE oakmoss. I don't think I had even heard of oakmoss before. Now if I see it listed on the ingredient list, it is nearly always a for sure bet that I will fall in love. For me, oakmoss = snuggly love.
  9. OMG! I am loving these labels and names. So cute!
  10. Am I imaging things, or is there a September new release that I haven't seen anyone talk about yet? So cute! Seriously fellow LPers, take a look at the new release front page. OMG, so cute and creative. Mara, you are constantly full of surprises and I this about LP!!!
  11. I've been so excited about the spell potions which are my faves, more than any pheros even. I had to wait until this weekend for funds to buy a fb of 10 set, but now almost all of my choices are sold out. I may just get a sample or two of the spell potions instead, along w/ OCCO Blue and Bosom Bows. Normally I'd be majorly bummed or psychotic about this, but I am ok. I'm surprising myself with this calm attitude. Happy for everyone else that has their goodies on the way.
  12. This is one that I soo wish I had been quicker to get a FB of, though I am grateful to have a sample. It is a thick heady honeysuckle that works well on my skin and the intent works like a charm. Love it.
  13. Tested out Marsha Mellow today w/ a divine off-ranch honeysuckle perfume. Added a speck of Leprechaun Luck because I only have a sample and am super stingy w/ it. Uh, yeah. Honeysuckle marshmallow works beautifully on me! I think it was because Marsha Mellow isn't a overly sugary or noticeably marshmallowy on me. I think the vetiver keeps the marshmallow in check so that it doesn't get too amped. I could layer this with lots of scents or it is fully able to be worn on it's own as well. Damn, do you hear that sound? That is the sound of a person deciding they absolutely are buying a FB when they hadn't even had it on their radar.
  14. I'm glad I'm not a gambler because I would have lost it all this month. I would have bet everything that this one would have been my favorite, along with Sandy Bottom and possibly Marsha Mellow. Wrong, wrong, wrong. (For the record, they ended up being Coco Honey and Double O.) I love Pillow Patter, Hanagumori, Fleur de Vanille and Mysteries of the Orient, all of which have a similar initial feel to me. I wear these all the time and down right adore me some soft floral scents. (Which is so weird because when I came here I said that I could not do florals. LP magic strikes again.) This one has a soft floral start, but after about half an hour there is a singular denseness that I can't shake. I have tried 3x now and am so sad that it is not working for me. I don't know if it is the dianthus or the jasmine. I typically love jasmine, but I can't pick it out in this one. I am going to try one more time because the beginning is so beautiful.

    Double O

    Pink Cake! i want some pink cake loving too! I am sorely tempted to go for a FB before my sampler set gets here. I am sooo not patient this month and just want to try the good smellies!! Breathe, breathe......
  16. Sampler set, FB Mermaids of Atlantis, FB NOCO Spicy Brown Sugar, samples of Spell Weaver and Sarasvati (I had a sample that I tried once and loved, but immediately lost it. Now I want to see if it is still as awesome as I remembered.) So much more ended up cut from this order but I'll be placing another order after I test out the NR samples. I am betting on FBS of Goodie Tooshu and Double 0. Sandy Bottom and Bonded look soooo intriguing, I can't wait to test them out. I'm always surprised though by what I thought I would order and what I fall in love with after sampling. Every month is awesome at LP, but this month just ROCKS!
  17. I've been loving my sample and have been using B2 with it. They are great together. The scent is more woodsy/floral at first and then dries down to a powdery finish. It still retains the woodsy/floral for me on the dry down, but the powdery softness has a more prominent showing. I agree w/ StacyK, this is very appropriate for work, which is where I have been wearing this lovely along with the B2.
  18. Today's the day! I'd better get busy planning the rest of my order that are not NRs. Then I can just concentrate on the new goodies in all their splendor.
  19. B2 is working wonders for me! My roll-on bottle dispenses a little more than most of my others, but up until this week I have been using a single circle amount on my forearm. This is more than a dot, but less than a swipe because of how much comes out. Still a small amount. This week for work I did the same but applied to both forearms. Sweet spot!! I really felt calm and confident throughout my week. I am in a new managerial position, so all eyes are on me all the time. Very hard to get used to. Plus I have a lot of public speaking for either my team or other leadership groups. B2 calmed me down enough to not only get through some of these experiences, but I was also kind of digging it a bit! And I hate public speaking. And I felt that people were just more relaxed but attentive in my presence. Plus it lasted all day! It has a slower start for me, but then I felt the same calmness all through work and even after coming home. Love it!!!
  20. I've been waiting for the extras to show up on the ArtFire site because I want some, like right now! I want to join the pussy party!!!
  21. I am so trying this out today! I definitely liked Sea Lilly and maybe layering it with something will turn it into a love. Thanks Chai!!
  22. OMG I love this one so much! I liked Sea Lilly, Soaked and Amphrite, but there was just an element on each that was either amping or lacking. Mermaid of Atlantis is exactly the scent I was looking for. Yes, it does have fruit but it does not demand center stage and I adore the floral aspect. It doesn't amp one scent. Instead it is a perfect watery blend of florals, with a touch of fruit, a bit of moss and a tang for grounding and depth. Damn this is good. No fishiness at all. Or if there is my nose is picking it up as slightly salty/tangy and it is all good. So happy I found you.
  23. Package received with super fast shipping times! I have scents on both my arms and I'm loving all of them. Thanks Mara and team!!!!
  24. Finally placed my order and now I can't wait! FB of Veloute Lavende and Frambuesca Y Coco. Samples of OCCO Blue, Mermaids of Atlantis and Babe in the Woods. I seriously contemplated getting FB of Sea Lilly, but I want to see if Mermaids is more floral. I do love Sea Lilly, but I would like to have the floral win out a bit more. Still love it though. Yay for new orders!
