Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[ohsailor]

So, I just spilled my Ghost Puffs perfume all over my night shirt, ruining it (though it smells great!) and using up most of my bottle /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Right after I was so stoked about getting the hair oil and whipped soap!! My life.

Ahh,that sucks, I am sorry! I picked up a bottle by the stopper once, on accident, which then popped off and spilled the scent all over me. It's such a bummer!

@@Bflopolska I would love to hear your thoughts on pink bow!!! They are on my wish list and I'm so tempted (pink!! And sugary scents!!!) but I haven't heard a ton.

I've only made a couple of orders but I like them a lot! They're very inexpensive ($4.50 or so for an approx 1/3 ounce rollerball oil) yet excellent quality, and the scents have staying power. There is a nice little set the name of which escapes me--the Girlie Girl gift set or some such thing--that has a rollerball and a mini body butter for $10. That would be a great intro! They also have first-rate communication and problem resolution. With my last order I received a message that they had run completely out of rollerball bottles, so they offered to switch my perfume up to a 2 ounce spray. Of course I jumped on that! The items are made to order so there's an approximate TAT of 5 or 6 days which I think is pretty good for something made from scratch.

OMG you guys.  I can finally squee here because I've said my proper thank-yous on another board.  I did a 13 Days of Halloween/Day of the Dead swap, and my person ABSOLUTELY SPOILED ME with Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs Imps.  26 of them, I'm tellin' ya.  Classics like Snake Oil and Dragon's Milk,  so many of the Alice In Wonderland collection.  I've been twitching with happiness for DAYS.  

LOOK AT THE PRETTIES:

So, Haus of Gloi is sending me an extra Ghost Puffs perfume oil too, now.

You guys, it doesn't hurt to ask if there's something you missed out on that you really want.

Jealous!

Jealous!

Write to them!! When I did, it was a Hail Mary pass that I thought would never work, and now look how it turned out! It doesn't hurt to ask!

Has anyone tried Daisycakes Soap on Etsy?  Their store has like 11k + reviews so I'm assuming they are safe to order from (I was thinking some solid perfumes.)  But obviously I want to see your opinions first if anyone has one  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I've ordered a few of the solid perfumes and I like them! They were one of the very few who make a patchouli-orange combo that doesn't smell like a head shop. (And thanks for the reminder, time to replenish!) The scents last long and did not cause allergies in myself or my husband. As I recall, the TAT was really quick too.

I just sent a message to a company I like on etsy asking if they would be willing to do a discount code for SeSa!  They do one for another forum's huge Halloween gift exchange extravaganza (this company actually even makes a special GWP item just for that exchange), so I'm hoping they'll be willing to do one for us.  It would be *awesome* if we could find a bunch of companies willing to do special stuff -- discounts, freebies, or special edition goodies -- for our exchanges!

Okay, HoG's "The Horsemen" smells awesome! Everyone who recommended it, thank you, I'm so glad I didn't miss out on it! I'm trying it out today, and I love it! I'm sad I waited so long to try it, since they're out of the perfume. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Oh well, at least I snagged some pumpkin butter and bubbling scrub. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This is juuuust what I needed to be enabled /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I'm thinking of doing the 5-scent pack of solid perfume in honeycomb, violet, lavender, rose and juniper.

What did you ask exactly? I would looooove some GP whipped soap but I can't figure out a good way to phrase my e-mail!  :wacko:

Please trust me when I tell you that you need Juniper Kiss in your life! Its existence is the only reason I have begrudgingly forgiven Bath and Body Works for all but discontinuing Juniper Breeze.

An indie that smells like juniper breeze!? My heart!!!

Aaaaaand if oils are more your thing, Blue Water Fragrances (also on Etsy) has a really nice Juniper perfume too. I wore Juniper Breeze for years, it made me SO mad when they dropped it!

UGH YOU GUYS I NEED THIS.  From Paintbox Soapworks, Roses in the Snow:

Deep red, velvety rose touched by frost, with fir needle & solemn incense
Christmas isn't always about merry making & joy... Roses in the Snow captures the darker, more gothic side of the Yule. Lush red roses spill onto ghostly white drifts, their rich scent mingling with the deep shadows of evergreen forests. A pale owl glides silently overhead, and somewhere in the darkness you hear a gentle tinkling, the sound of gilded robes and golden chains. You turn, trying to trace the scent of myrrh and incense that drifts on the cold night air, when suddenly a delicate hand covers your mouth and you feel the cold edge of a knife at your throat...
