Potion Master Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I read somewhere that when you are smelling a lot of perfumes that if you have coffee grounds to smell them after you sniff each perfume and thats supposed to help. It barely helps at all, in reality. After deep sniffs of 2 or 3 different perfumes, you are no longer getting an accurrate read on what you are smelling. You really just need to rest your nose between trials. After 3, I rest my nose for 2 hours before I sample another lot. When I brew, I blend a few ingredients, then wait until my nose is fresh again, then add more ingredients, and so on. Glad everyone is enjoying the paw print pouches! We couldn't resist - I thought they were so cute along with the Bohemian Cats.
jlynn Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 What I find so interesting about perfumes is how they are unique to each person.I have had many women tell me they can't stand Sensual Amber from B&BW but they love it on me.There are scents they smell wonderful on other women but stink on me.
Raq On Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 MY PACKAGE IS HERE!!! I am looking at my order and not sure where to dive in first!! Thanks for the cat toy Mara! I thought they were all gone by now. My babies love them! And husband was touched that he got sniffees too. You are da bomb Ms. Mara!
LadyVictoria Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 OMG just got my notice!!!!!! Totally excited can't wait to smell my new PESSSS!!!!!!!!!
missdarlyncherie Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 DAMMIT TO HELL! Mine did not arrive yesterday as hoped for. Has to be today then. I spent the night at Michaels (because of the drinking at the funeral) and he jumped up first thing this morning to check the mail even with his pounding hangover! (I get my mail at his house). He enjoys the package as much as I do even though he pretends to think it is silly.
Invidiana Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Almost forgot to mention in my half-asleep, under-caffeinated stupor--I got mine yesterday! Just in time for Easter! (I'm Orthodox so Easter is this Sunday for us)
Indigo Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Hooray! I just arrived back in Canada and got the package which came extra quick, waiting for me to arrive! Mara you are wonderful and Mermaids is delicious so As usual all the little baby perfume vials are also full of amazing brews and potions
Bella15 Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Mara must have been up late last night, lol - or early this morning!! I got my shipping notice - WOO!! can't wait til it gets here!!! I will be set for perfume for a year! (not really)
missdarlyncherie Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 OMGoodness!!!! Got my notice yesterday so I will have my goods Mon or Tues just in time for me and Michaels weekend trip!! We are going to be trippin' on Topper and reeling on new releases!!
goddesslynne Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Mara, I got my recent order in RECORD TIME!! Thank goodness the postie was running late yesterday, so I was home to sign for my package, rather than having to wait 'till monday and go pick it up!! I'm SO lucky to live in the L.A. area!!
Potion Master Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Liz, that happens all the time now that the postal system is automated. It just means it was routed to the wrong area. It will get re-routed and I'm sure you will have it in your hands within the next couple of days. No worries. This is the NEW biz as usual for USPS.
Invidiana Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Well THERE it is, buried under a mountain of junk mail in my inbox! Come on, burial insurance--seriously?
Potion Master Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Well THERE it is, buried under a mountain of junk mail in my inbox! Come on, burial insurance--seriously? You know, those come here all the time for the former tenant who is over 60. I am just stunned by the sheer volume of it. It strikes me as insanely tacky. I still forward some of her fan mail, but those I leave out.
Andsoitgoes Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Yaaaaay, new stuff! Trial vials of Poetry and Grace, Velvet and Steel, Pouncing Potion, Darling Catalina, and T.M.I. Everything smells friggin' amazing. :)
BlueBear Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Woo hoo! I didn't check my email all weekend to see that I'd gotten the Stamps notice. Instead, I was surprised by my box of wonderful!
missdarlyncherie Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 YAHOO!!!! MY BOTTLES OF THE QUICKLY DISAPPEARING OCCO AMBROSIA ARE ON THEIR WAY TO JOIN MY LP FAMILY!!!!!!!!
Raq On Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Still waiting for my little notice in my inbox which is almost as exciting as actually getting the package. The whole process really is too fun. I'm getting nervous that I didn't order a bottle of the ambrosia, Just a trial, as fruit is iffy on me, but what an overwhelming response to it. It's gotta be good!
Invidiana Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 For a day that started out blacker than Ragnarok, fishing out my notice from an inbox of VTG Vacation spam was like an entire lighthouse.
Andsoitgoes Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Package on it's waaaay In just two short weeks, I'll be able to order Spark in the Dark.
Raq On Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 I got it!! Tore open the OCCO ambrosia right away! Can't wait to try Topper too. Just a question: Mara did you stop putting the labels on the back of the UN bottles (in alcohol and silicone mix) ? Mine didn't have them this time

Just a question: Mara did you stop putting the labels on the back of the UN bottles (in alcohol and silicone mix) ? Mine didn't have them this time No, but I maybe forgot? They only get a label if the mix is different from the normal offered...a special order mix. Did I forget on yours? I'm sorry!! I can send you stickers if you like. I make each spray bottle to order so I would have done yours according to your order form, but I might sometimes forget stickers. Apologies!!

Raq On Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) No, but I maybe forgot? They only get a label if the mix is different from the normal offered...a special order mix. Did I forget on yours? I'm sorry!! I can send you stickers if you like. I make each spray bottle to order so I would have done yours according to your order form, but I might sometimes forget stickers. Apologies!! Nah, that's okay. I just want to remember if one is a mix of oil and silicone so i remember to shake it first. isn't Topper silicone/alcohol? I think I made a mental note to always shake that one before applying. YES! My notification just came last night. Can't wait. Edited June 7, 2012 by Raq On
Potion Master Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 No, Topper is alcohol/oil. No shaking required.
Eggers Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Got a shipping notice tonight! I've been so busy with my last order, (so many samples!!!), that I *almost* forgot I made another one! Sweet!
Invidiana Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I had a feeling and sure enough....W00T!!!!! And this is a big one!
