For you who are getting you HoG orders, were they from the Yule release on 11/2? I have received nothing yet, not even a notification. This is very unlike them.
100% AGREE! This collection is phenomenal. Ive been wearing it every day since I got it. I see at least 2 of my friends getting sample sets for the holidays because I HAVE to share how beautiful these are!OH MY GOD you guys I got my Sol Invictus order today and just... dead. If these were just a palette, I would never have to use another shadow again, ever. I didn't swatch anything because I was having a moment and I didn't even see the package at first because it was buried under HoG and some others but holy moly. So pretty. Already bought full sizes of two, gonna have to go back for more.
Parkin is my favorite scent of this collection actually! It smells like a bright pumpkin gingerbread. I am super happy I impulse bought it because I had no idea how much I'd like a spicy gingerbread!Played with a few more of my HoG goodies - Plotter's Breakfast and Snow Wolf. I chose them because I'd seen a few folks mention they weren't really sure what they thought about them, ad yeah I can totally get that. Snow Wolf starts out super fresh and fir-scented, then kind of dries away to pine cleaner and licorice. Not bad, but not OHMYGOD amazing, either. I'd only buy a sample if I had to do it again. Plotter's Breakfast is weird, but a good weird, I think. I get strong scents of oat and tobacco, and on the bottom quite a level woody base. The oddest is the like... tangyness which is a terrible word to describe a scent. I'm not sure where it comes from but it makes the scent quite unique. I personally like it though, so if you have Plotter's Breakfast you can't deal with, let me know, I will take it!
Gonna try Wintervale and Three Treasures today. I've got to crack open my Hearth Bubbling Scrub so I can see if that is a scent I want more of, too! Benzoin always smells like hairspray to me, so we shall see. And since I've brought it up, I am totally bummed I didn't get Parkin anything. Has anyone tried it? Is it good? I have it on my Elfster list, but I am pretty tempted. Argh, must behave though!
With the Yule release I made a couple orders and ended up getting two samples of Parkin. I ordered one and one was a free sample. I only opened one to sniff and really didn't like it; I haven't even wanted to put it on. However, I'd be happy to send you one!@ You've just enabled me to put Parkin on my list for the HoG restock (and to buy more Sol Invictus shadows, but I was going to do that anyways)! Also many thanks to my kind Santa for letting me know I was safe with Parkin. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I really do appreciate it!
There should be a few reviews of the collection floating around, try those.Can someone do me a huge favor and post the names of the shadows in the Shiro Nightmare before christmas collection? They are no longer on the site and the link I have is dead (takes me to a this pages does not exist and has a youtube video of Rick Astley's never gonna give you up)
Thank you in advance!
