Okay ladies, I got 2 of my 3 orders from last week delivered today. I used the Nirvana promo code on each order.
Last week I said how much I hate the black version. Turns out, different vials smell differently! Different vials of the same scent, I mean.
My first free sample vial of the black smells disgusting. Out of curiosity, I opened one of my promo sample packs, and sprayed the black version on the card. I really liked it. I ended up mixing both black/white on myself and REALLY like it.
So, lesson learned, each sample batch is obviously not the same. And not all vials of black smell like smoker's stench/vanilla. So I half way eat my words from last week. And those of you who really liked the black, I bet it smells like my new vial of black, lol. You're not all crazy (not that I said you were in the first place, lol, but you get what I mean).

I wonder if the full size bottles smell different too, or if maybe I just got a bad batch for my first sample vial? **hmmmm**
I also got both my glam glow eye thingy samples in each order. Supposed to have one with my Ambient blush order coming this week too, so we'll see.
**edited to change each my words to eat... damn spell checker switch-a-roo**

That's so bizarre! I could see how a bad batch of the black could smell like stale cigarettes, since the nice smelling one has notes of tobacco- but in a sophisticated way (like when you smell loose pipe tobacco-which is spicy and woody and quite different before it is burned, instead of the ashtray smell you described!)Okay ladies, I got 2 of my 3 orders from last week delivered today. I used the Nirvana promo code on each order.

I like the smell of cigars and humidors, it is a smoky sweet, and doesn't bother my lungs... would rather throw myself off a bridge than smell cigarettes though. People like me get made fun off all the time, because we make such a fuss when a cigarette smoker comes near... but for me, it literally feels like I'm having a heart attack/asthma when they come near me, my heart races, chest gets so tight it feels like a vice grip, my nose stuffs up instantly, and it brings my old asthma coughing back. So my first vial of the black gave me that same memory trigger, it just, ugh, port-o-johns smell better, we'll leave it there, lol.
My new vial tonight has that smoky sweet smell, like a cigar.
But seeing as the white is still my favorite of the two, I'll buy a full size of that one, and I'm sure my numerous vials of black will last forever for me... I got 2 bigger ones, and 2 smaller ones..and I think I have another set coming with my next order as long as it doesn't get substituted.
On another note... I just tried the glam glow eye stuff tonight. Meh, it isn't impressive. My eyes look no better, they are no more hydrated (looking or feeling), and the skin around my eyes feels weird now. Kind of like a quarter numb feeling, like while getting a cavity fixed at the dentist--and the numbing medicine is juuuuuust starting to kick in enough to tell something's different. I'm assuming this is from all the stuff that's supposed to keep them plumped up looking or whatever. (it isn't painful numb, just weird feeling when I move my face in expressions, lol) It is only the first time, so I'll give it the other 3 caps I have left currently... but I do not see how this is worth 70$.

Thanks, ladies. I know at Ulta it all goes back on the credit card, but I'll have to see what Sephora does. I get frustrated when at least what I paid for with CC can't go back on it. Plus, I worry Sephora won't reissue a gift card, but might put it all on store credit. That would really annoy me.

That's pretty funny- i hate the smell of cigarette smoke too (It doesn't cause me to feel like I'm having a heart attack or anything, I just think it smells gross and it WILL give me a headache if I'm somewhere like a casino, which is just completely filled with it), but burning cigars are like 10x worse for me. When my fiance came to see me in December, we did a staycation here (Vegas) at the Hard Rock in their amazing HRH Tower Suites (the best deal in Vegas for sure, btw!), but one night when we decided to just stay in at the casino for dinner and drinks there was a man smoking a cigar nearby and I just... couldn't handle it. We had to go to a different bar!

Thanks to [@]ohsailor[/@] I got to try both nirvanas, and I loooove them. Black struck a perfect balance of musk/feminine scent, and white is just lovely. And mixing them created a wonderful more complex scent on me... Sephora is determined to make me go for broke =p

I placed a tiny order to get some of the new samples, and all of mine were there (the Nirvana perfumes, a Cartier perfume, and the GlamGlow eye stuff)… plus they threw in an extra Viva La Juicy sample for whatever reason. I'll take it!
For what it's worth, the GlamGlow had no positive effects (that I could tell). It just sorta burned and my skin looked the same afterwards.

I wonder if the full size bottles smell different too, or if maybe I just got a bad batch for my first sample vial? **hmmmm**
I also got both my glam glow eye thingy samples in each order. Supposed to have one with my Ambient blush order coming this week too, so we'll see.
**edited to change each my words to eat... damn spell checker switch-a-roo*
I just checked and they do smell differently!
I also love the way that Black & White smell together. I hope the full size smells like the promo code vials.

Y'all are really making me want to try mixing the two Nirvanas together- I'm wearing black again today and I still looooove it. I'm worried though that the white will give me a headache. Maybe I'll make my roommate wear it and see if it is headache-inducing. I think I'm gonna buy a black rollerball though. Because I <3 rollerballs. Dat bottle tho.

I'm torn between buying the rollerballs or the gorgeous $55 bottles. I usually don't care about perfume bottles but I really like those.

Girl.... same. Black/gold is my favorite color combo ever. I almost exclusively only wear black and gold- it's a problem. I really really love the black bottle, even though spray perfumes are just not my jam.

I'm beginning to wonder if Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are even capable of creating something that fails, lol. Now I feel like I need to try these perfumes, everyone's been enjoying them so much!
