sixteen92 Fall Scents

I've been sitting on this review for a while.  Why?  I don't know.  I'm really lazy like that.  But here we go.  I'm getting shit done.  No, actually, if I'm being honest, I'm only wrapping this up and getting it out so I have an excuse not to wash and detangle my hair.  It's a whole production and between washing and twisting it takes all day and thinking about it makes me tiiiiiiiired.   

Yeah, ok, you're right, that's enough whining.  No one wants to hear about my first world curly hair problems. 

So when the fabulous Claire originally opened sixteen92, I stupidly only picked up a five pack of samples.  When the Fall collection came out, I had learned my lesson and bought the sampler of the entire thing.  I haven't met a scent from sixteen92 yet that I didn't like.  

Ten Three Labs

I've been curious about this line since Cara announced she was opening up her own shop over on reddit's Indiemakeupandmore sub. Ten Three Labs opened officially on October 3rd, fittingly enough, with a collection of eyeshadows, perfume oils and lip products. About two weeks ago I was finally able to put in an order. Spoiler alert: it won't be the last one. I really wanted the LE Howl O'Ween collection, and while I was at it I picked up a blogger pack of four smudge sticks and a salve stick. 

The whole she-bang

I was very impressed with the speed with which I got my goodies. Her stated TAT is 10-14 business days. I got my order in about a week. Also, I love that she puts the sifters on the side. It saves my poor brittle nails from having to try to pry them out. Another neat thing is that every order comes with seeds. I got marigolds which go lovely with tomatoes. Alright, on to the reviews.

Sixteen92 Perfumerie

I figured that for my very first review I ought to reveiw the perfumes that pushed me down the rabbit hole of inde perfumerie.   That would happen to be the fabulous Claire and her new joint sixteen92 Perfumerie.  ...Well that and the fact that I'm still working my way through everything else I've bought. 

Originally, I purchased a five sampler pack (with The Awakening, Mellifera, I Saw Goody Proctor With the Devil, Penny Dreadful, and Southern Gothic) during her initial preview sale in August. You can check out my raw first impressions over on reddit. Since then, I managed to swap for four more of the permanent line up, I purchased the entire fall sampler set, and I also picked a few of the new lotion samples.  Today, I think we'll stick to the initial release scents.  

Greetings and Salutations

Hey there, welcome to my blog!  I have recently come to terms with the fact that I have a slight, very very small problem when it comes to makeup and (mostly) indie perfumes.  I mean, it's not that big a deal.  I could totally quit Etsy anytime I wanted.  I could; I just choose not to do it right now.

So I find myself with all these new products and a lot of thoughts about them.  Why not blog about it?  Anyway, this is my space to be OMG SO EXCITE YOU GUYS DON'T EVEN KNOW!!!!! about all the cool beauty finds and indie perfumes I get my hot little hands on.

Thanks for dropping by, and I hope you enjoy your stay.
