Just chimming in on the decision mix...  It does make 'math matical' sense.  But you also need to look at personal consumption patterns as well.  

For me I used to buy the 3.4 or the 1.7 because it made more dollar sense but then I realized that I never get though them, because new scents come out and new favorites were found.

Not wanting to have the bottles sit idle and change in their scent profile and also because I'm moving soon, I threw them online for sale.  I was able to sell the Angel, Blue and Dior on eBay, so that was good.  But when I crunched the numbers on what I got for the rest of the bottle, time invested in photographing and writing up eBay copy and packaging to send out... the smaller spray makes better economic sense overall.  

But I still only like sprays so I'll get the sprays that are 1 fl oz or the delux travel sprays that run between .25 oz to .33 oz.  With 8 spray fragrances on rotation and likee 20 miniatures that I can tip on wrist, I've not been left wanting yet.  

Just a thought for short-attention-span fragrance lovers like myself /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />...

Ah, see I keep things forever unless they just don't work anymore even then sometimes it's hard. I'm debating on a peacock smudge stick that doesn't go on right anymore but still technically works because it puts color on just not smoothly lol

I agree with you if it was just me but I have two daughters 21 and 13 so it goes very fast in my house, sometimes to fast!

Oh, I totally agree with your scenario, if you ever bought the smaller sizes you'd have to store them in the wall safe!  Getting the larger size is the ONLY purchase that makes perfect sense for 3 ladies!  Must be nice to have 3 people wafting through the house with silages of your favoirte fragrances!

I just placed an order thanks to you lovely ladies for the Born In Paradise rollerball (this is definitely going to be my summer, er, well ANYTIME scent!) and the free fresh rollerball.  Too good to pass up.  But just got a VIB email about the VIBLIP:



Not sure if you all have seen that yet, but I might just have to make another order!  But that's ok, right, since it's valentine's day?!

Thanks!  It's a $35 minium.  I wasn't going to buy anything but I've been really digging Dior Addict Eau Fraîche so I might buy it as a reward to self for finishing my Obama Care application as a spring teaser for self.  BTW, deadline is tomorrow 3:00 PM if you want coverage by March 1...

Any opinions on the Tarte Maracuja vs. the Josie Maran Argan Oil that is still available through MERRYMINI? I was originally going to go with the Argan oil and then someone mentioned the Maracuja also being available.

Meanwhile, I'm sitting on a cart wanting to use the $30 giftcard my mom gave me for my birthday and debating the whole do I spend the extra to get free shipping or eat the cost of the tax and shipping. Hrrrmm....

I placed two orders today - one for the fresh rollerball and another for the lip trio. I'm glad I waited until today to buy my fragrances.

 

[tweakabell]

I love the tarte. The Josie would not go into my face it would just stay on top, I hated it but I know other people had the same problem in reverse.

 

[tallison]

OMG, they would come out with a free full size rollerball perk for the Fresh Life fragrance the day after I convince myself to buy the full 1oz size.  This always happens!!!  Considering taking back the one I bought yesterday when it gets here and ordering the rollerball perk along with something else today....

I've used both and I like the Maracuja better.  The Sephora SA explained their differences and you can decide based on your needs:

Maracuja:  Lighter oil, good for eveniing out skin tone and boosts radiance - high vitamin C content.

Argan Oil:  Heavier oil, good for dry skin, especially for evening (sleep) in cold climate where air is dry - high vitamin E content.

Thank you! Breaking it down like that makes it really easy to decide. I'll try out the Tarte ... once I pull the trigger on this cart.

Hmm, I guess I might get the full-size Taj now.  I hope the color quality on my computer is just bad, but all 3 lippies look to be the same color even though they're listed as pink, mauve (ok, a pink mauve), and coral.

Obaama's Marketplace is down and you guys are keeping me cerebral and not doing this 

while I'm waiting for it to come back up.

I bet everyone's trying to sign-up and select right now.  Maybe I should go about my day and take an evening nap then plan on coming back on line in the wee hours of the morning?

Your math is dead on.  I've started buying the smaller travel spray first.  If I use it up, then I go back and buy the larger one.  The smaller ones help me decide if I really like the scent.  If it's a keeper, I then take the plunge on the bigger one.  I did that with Cherry in the Air last summer.  Buying the big one definitely makes $ sense and 3x points right now!

I've never owned a full sized perfume in my life! But I constantly beg my friends for the cherry in the air samples because I love it! Then I realized its a limited edition & of course sephora only has it in the travel spray. I was just about to buy a few of those to have on hand, & a present appears today from a wonderful friend of mine in CA for Valentines Day. She knew my hubs is gone right now & that I'm alone with my 6 kiddos for Valentines so she said she thought this might cheer me up. Holy huge size of Cherry in the Air! My first full size perfume. I'm ecstatic! Some fragrances are just worth the whole shebang!

Nice friend you've got!  That is a wonderful gift.  I've been spraying it on myself the past 2 weeks because it smells like spring and I've had ENOUGH of the snow.

I was thinking that the lippies all look the same color too.

Oh well, I'm still going to make an order next week and use the code. Well, unless another one comes around that's better.
