Most of my latest haul

Most of my latest haul

Well, you win some and you lose some 🫤 i got my latest order today minus the NBC box set! For whatever reason that one will be here tomorrow. Eventhough they shipped at the same time 😣 This order is kind of a bust compared to the last. I was soooo excited about Fir and Palo Santo! I love both of those things, but it just smells like another pine scent to me. I was really hoping the palo santo would be the star. Crunchy Leaves is nice! I appreciate the citrus note in this one and the cinnamon is nice and light in the background. Cinnamon over powers for me pretty easily. Evening Crafts is a really weird one for me. I was expecting it to be much more fruity. The stand out notes to me are the pear and amber. I don't get peach at all and the apple is light. I can't detect any spice either. I wish it was a little brighter or spicier, it almost leans bakery to me. I feel like it might evolve when warm though. Cinnamon woods is just ok. Weirdly, it reminds me of a muted Pumpkin Bonfire from BBW. There is no embers note but it definitely gives the same vibe. The cinnamon is not super strong. Its much more on the woody side. Autumn Fern is definitely my favorite of the bunch! Its the perfect blend of fresh and woodsy. The fir balsam is not overpowering, i can still pick up all the notes. On cold i would buy it again in a heartbeat. However, if I was able to smell the others before buying i don't think i would have purchaed any.. except Crunchy Leaves. That one is unique enough to me personally. None of these are bad scents! Just not my personal preference or what I was expecting!

They arrived!

They arrived!!! 🥳 I'm so excited to try all of these out. They did such a good job with the Halloween scents! These are the kind of moody and fun scents i was hoping for. I was a little nervous about Tombstone Pumpkin and Graveyard Ghost Tour but they are just the right amount of earthy for me. Tombstone Pumpkin is kind of like a mash up of Pumkpkin Carving and Graveyard Ghost Tour or Witches Cauldron to my nose. The added clove bud note does something for me. Trick or Treat also had me slightly worried with so many scent notes going on, but its one of my favorites out of the bunch. Black Cat is so nice, it kind of gives me Marshmallow Fireside vibes, but there is something different that i can't place. Whatever it is makes it better imo. Black Candy Apple is a solid caramel apple scent. I don't pick up coconut but you can tell it adds a little something. I've heard Witches Cauldron be compared to Witches Brew from Yankee, i can kind of see it but this is much better! It's much smoother and not so in your face with the patchouli. You can't go wrong with Pumpkin Carving, such a classic! I've never been a gourmand person but I've slowly been getting into them this year, which is not good for my wallet or storage space 😆. So Vanilla Pumpkin Waffle and Blueberry Pancakes would have been a hell no for me in the past but I'm sooo glad i tried them. They are not overly bakery or maple heavy, just enough in my opinion. Harvest Hayride is amazing, that will be great to break up some spice heavy scents. If you like apple scents you can't go wrong with Fresh Orchard Apple and Gathering Leaves is also fantastic. It kind of reminds me of Leaves from B&BW but less spicy and more of a fresh apple. On cold these are all a 9 or 10/10 for me. Some seem a little light, but sometimes its like that for me when they are fresh off the truck. I'm definitely grabbing Haunted Theater in my next order. I regret not getting it right away lol, that label might be my favorite.

Sweet Maple and Leaves OOS

I'm surprised but not surprised...that Sweet Maple and Leaves is out of stock for shipping! I can still get it in store but i was hoping to just do an online order this time since I want some online exclusives. I've been trying to hold out until Sunday night. Ugh.. i figured it would be popular though

Bright and Breezy & Friends

Since this is online only for most i thought i would try my hand at a little review. I couldn't pass up ordering this collection when it was 3.99

Bright and Breezy-This smells like Snow White and Country Apple had a baby to me. I don't hate it but I don't love it. I'm someone who got a little bit of that rotten apple smell from Snow White and this also has that but not as potent. I was hoping for more of the honeysuckle tea note to come through.

Electric and Exotic- smells like a very toned down Viva Brazil with a fresher dry down. I think the fresh bamboo note tones it down without making it smell green. Tropical fragrances can go wierd on me, like musty or b.o but this doesn't.

Cozy and Creamy- I was expecting to not like this at all so I didn't order it. I just so happened to coms across a store that had it though and ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would. Its a really nice calming scent. It doesn't go too lactonic or sour. The sweet rice milk is really the front runner at first and the dry down has that nice shea and almond scent. The almond doesn't go sweet or cherry like.

Crisp and Clean- really nice fresh watery scent. You can kind of pick up that its cucumber but its not overpowering. I don't like cucumber but I like this. Its not as green as Rainkissed Leaves.

Dewy and Delicate- I think this is my favorite one. Its also super fresh and clean with a really nice blend of the pear and waterlily. Not overly fruity or floral. Very refreshing.

Overall this collection had so much potential but the scent disappears quicker than any other mist I've tried, and I'm not someone who has a big issue with longevity in the first place. Sadly, I think my favorite DD is the worst of them in that regard. Cozy lasts longer than I thought it would along with Crisp and Clean.

Last hurrah

I'm getting ready to place my last summer order...i think...lol. Is the strawberry and cherry pretty noticeable in Pink Lemonade? Or is it more of a lemon bomb? I don't care for Sugared Lemon, it's one scent I find too strong for me and I haven't tried Old Time Lemonade. I'm so ready for fall scents!

Tinted moisturizer recs

Hi! I am looking for recommendations on a tinted moisturizer for pale skin with redness. So many brands/shades are too warm or oxidize horribly on me. I don't wear as much makeup since I had my kids, but I would like something to quickly throw on to even out my skin tone. I don't really want to add a bunch of other products on top either. Maybe a little blush and mascara. Drugstore or high end!Thanks in advance!

I know this is a few years old, but i just recently got it and love it! However, it smells like something I've had before or may currently have. Does anyone know if its a repackage or incredibly similar to something else? It's driving me crazy lol
