BPAL Update!

Man, man. Wallet go ow.

MILK MOON 2007:: And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence. And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. A fertile scent, generous, life-affirming, and swelling with a sense of triumph, warmth, and abundance: sweet milk, golden honey, fig fruit, pomegranate, dates, and white grape.

Beth's cream scents are the shit, yo. This is completely different from the last Milk Moon she offered, but that was fantabulous. So if this retains the "feel" of a Milk Moon, I'll be ecstatic. Yep, a bottle in my cart.

MINOTAUR:: The Bull of Minos, guardian of the Labyrinth in Knossos. A deep, swarthy black musk dusted by a dark, resinous blend of sacred bisabol myrrh, atramentous benzoin, tsori, balsam, and galbanum.

I so want this, what with my attraction to all things Hellenic lately. However, black musk is just bad on me. I think I'll acquire a decant.

TAURUS 2007:: Fixed Earth: the essence of possession. Rose, daisy, apple blossom, violet, poppy, columbine, thyme, and mint.

Not a ritual oil I'd really use, and I'm not a Taurus.

POISSON D'AVRIL:: Not at all fishy; rather, quite Springy! Innocence spiked with a little bit of foolishness: Lenten rose, crested iris, Virginia bluebell, primrose, moss phlox, blue crocus, daffodil, and dewy tulip with a touch of sugar blossom and honey.

I rarely reach for florals. However, this might be a springtimey Litha. I'll read the reviews and decide then.

MONSTER BAIT: TOKYO STOMP:: Beckons all giant creatures from gargantuan reptiles and humongous moths! These babies are sure to crush everything from dollhouses to shopping malls! Can even be used to summon colossal robots in a pinch! A sweet and crisp vanilla mint!

I already have Snowblind, so I probably don't need two vanilla mints.

BAIT: VENTRILOQUIST DUMMY:: Menacing, maniacal, and slick with the one-liners � this guy does it all with a wink and a smile! Savage apricot, depraved dry woods, and psychopathic patchouli covered by a disarmingly sweet mishmosh of caramel, brown sugar, hazelnut, and butterscotch. Be warned: this oil will
instigate possession in most puppets, including some marionettes and the occasional finger puppet.


A roll-call of notes that are far too cloying on me.

MONSTER BAIT: BLOODY MARY:: Why waste time chanting her name in the mirror 13 times? Bedevil your next slumber party the easy way! Chunky, glistening red fruits with sweet cream accord, black clotted cherry, and powdered sugar!

Okay. Y'all know about my terrible mirror fear, right? Okay, okay. Phobia. And all things related to Miss B.M. Why oh why does this look kind of good, then. Still, I really don't think I can get this. Call me superstitious or whatnot, but I just can't.

And Good Omens scents next, omg. PS, my BPAL soaps came in. Snake Oil and Shub both smell to die for.

As for me: shower, brunch, beading, clubbing with Ariel. Salivating over BPAL has made me hungry.
