Do you think this would work to make room sprays also?  I really wanted to get some of the oils to spray around the house and I found some recipes online that say you can add the oil to distilled water.  I might try it.

I would first dilute the oils in a little vodka--maybe a half-shot to a shotglass worth, before adding that to distilled water. It helps preserve the formula, and you don't have to shake it up so much before spraying.

Yup, absolutely. Like @@Bflopolska said, you're going to have to give it a shake to mix it up before spraying. It's just easier for me to go with a wax warmer, so that's what comes to mind first.
ETA: Yeesh, I totally misread the point of B's post! But, yeah, if you find a recipe for homemade room spray that call for essential oils, you can use perfume oils in there.

My missing GDE OTM was delivered today.  Along with my Femme Fatale sample order, my Fall HoG order (I ordered late) and a full size of the Goddess Glow that has become HG for me.  I also missed my MadLad samples in my little pouty fest yesterday.  I found them last night.  I am working from home today, so I have not yet put a face on.  Excited to play with all of the new pretties.  My HoG freebie was Troika.  I am not so sure on that one.  I like the almond milk of it, but there is something in it I am just not sure of.  Can't wait to see what my weird body chemistry does with The Horseman.

In good news it sounds as if I will eventually get a full refund on the trip, but it may take two billing cycles, and I am kind of swamped at work, so getting out of here by Saturday may not be in the cards for this year.

In more everything continues to go wrong news...the "man of the moment" was eating cookies in bed last night. He is the world's messiest bed eater.  He managed to grind all sorts of cookie crumbs in to the sheets.  This morning the dog decided he wanted cookie crumbs for breakfast.  I now have a big hole in my favorite pair of sheets.

 
Heh. The Shiro collection: Cheekbones. A contouring collection inspired by Benedict Cumberbatch's facial bone structure.

 
Im kind of "meh" on the contouring powders. I wish there was a more gray-based one that wasn't SO blue/gray. I need like a mix between An East Wind is Coming and 3 Patch Problem.

 
I really don't know how to use these, but the label art is gorgeous.  Where would you put a grey based powder?  On top of your cheekbone?  If anyone gets these, post pics on HOW to use them because I'd love to learn how.

I think you would use the gray powder to blend with some of the others to make them more cool tone based. Or by itself. I've found gray contour colors look pretty good on my pale cool toned skin.

OMG DUH, why didn't I think of this? I have the same issue with needing something gray-er due to cool tones, but I saw that gray/blue and thought :wacko:   But mixing might work. Hmmm.....although it would probably be cheaper to buy the pumpkin poppy whatever it's called.

 
Ummm I need at least one Shrio contour powder because Sherlock!!!! I am obsessed!!!!!

 
Here's my i+ta mini subscription (variation), and my Candii Blossom haul (no extras included, but the items were purchased with a major discount).

Sorry they're sideways...I'm adding this post from my cell phone.
 
I took an after work shower and splashed myself with The Horseman and now I want to do two things.

1.  Put clean sheets on the bed (good idea anyway see story about dog eating hole in sheets) tale off my clothes and roll around naked in this fragrance.  Yeah, I know...TMI; and

2.  Buy ALL THE THINGS.  Seriously, this scent makes me want to shop.

Questions.  Has anyone tried the Haus of Gloi hair oil yet?  And has anyone tried both of the Pumpkin scents?  Pumpkin Queen smells pretty darn good on me and I am trying to decide if I should try Pumpkin Butter as well.  Right now I am thinking I will be getting full size oils of both Pumpkin Queen and The Horseman.  Both of which surprise me more than a little.

@ Notoriously Morbid A Murder of Crows release 11/14

do you think that is a Game of Thrones theme?

I could have sworn I read somewhere that Carrie doesn't follow the series -- books or show -- and wasn't planning on a collection based on it.  I was kind of wondering if maybe it was a collection of black-based shades with various duochromes/shimmers.

In other NM news, I got my VC shipping!  I panicked for a second because the email had a subject line that could have meant that it was canceled or delayed for some reason, but, nope, tracking!  Whoo!

That's my exact variation on the i+ta sub, (dark gray shadow in the little kitty jar, right?) I'm not sure how I feel about Sultan's Daughter.  I would have preferred almost *any* of the other ones, but still very happy with the sub and the extras!

Yep, that's the one. I haven't yet tried Sultan's Daughter, so we'll see...I think the tiny bottle is adorable though! :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I feel like the only person with a different variation of the i+ta sub - maybe it's because I got the last one and the latter ones had different bonus goodies?

Glad to hear you are at least getting a refund! I really hope you can reschedule an even better trip :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I totally sympathize with you on the messy bed eater. I'll never forget when the bf decided to eat buffalo wings in bed and got sauce everywhere! Like, who does that?!

I think I might have to add Horseman and Troika to my growing list for the restock!! Sounds like there are really no duds so far. Do we know the additional scents being added yet?
