Squee!
Snake Oil Bath Oil at Black Phoenix Trading Post! I know that $30 seems like a lot, but I can honestly say that BPTP oils are worth their weight in gold. You need so little at a time. And now I can literally BATHE in my favorite perfume. I am stoked.
Also! I have been tight-lipped about this since June or so when I got to see the Villainess operation in Tennesee-- BPAL/Villainess soaps! EEEEE.
I only had enough to get 2 bars-- they are pricey due to components. I settled on Snake Oil, which I got to try before and looooooved. So scrubby. And I also got the new honey one, XMVLZENCAB (uh, what?): Wild honey, black laurel flower, plumeria, and South American ginger. I had to pass on Shub, though I can say it smells delish and also distinct from GingerSnapped. Add to that, I sniffed some protos that weren't in this update, and I'm excited for those, too!
Because I had to be picky-choosy, I had to pass on some other lovelies. I need to add to my wish list:
