Jen you rock!

So do the Lippies, My Dear!!!! I was wearing Peach Melba today. It looks so good with my tan!!!

[zeebs]

Well...

Fresh: a little toooo tangy, smells kind of like a rancid Screwdriver on me (smelled good in the bag though)

Tease: too sweet for me, might prefer it a little spicier like chai more than sweet iced tea which is what it smells like now, IMO

La Femme: better than I thought it would be! Normally I can't wear florals but it's pretty subtle once it soaks in. It's almost musky, which I like. Brava!

Mystic: Not what I expected AT ALL. very powdery, almost like B&BW "Cotton Blossom" or "Sea Island Cotton", HOWEVER, it is my favorite anyway. It smells very fresh and lovely without being floral. Be forewarned that it does not smell like a hemp shop (which the name implies it could), but rather like a cross between Catholic church and baby powder. In a good way, though. In my mind this is called mystic because "cleanliness is next to godliness", as it mostly smells like clean.

Summary: I may buy a full size of Mystic but I suspect not of the other three, unless as a gift for my mom with La Femme, which I know she would just love.

Zeebs-
Isn't that funny how scents go. I love Fresh and Tease, and Mystic is pretty good, too. Still not sure on the LaFemme. Scent is almost more of a personal preference than makeup colors. Thank goodness for samples!

[zeebs]

Jen, yeah, definitely. Scents smell so different on everyone! After wearing Tease tonight it kind of grew on me. I am excited to try the others for longer periods of time, especially LaFemme and Mystic. Thanks for the swatches BTW -

I got my goodies today, finally! I ordered on the 2nd, via PayPal (like always), only I didn't know that my CC (back-up funding source) had expired so the transaction went through as an e-check. Getting it cleared took forever and a day (well not really, but when you're waiting on new stuff from Karen that's what it felt like!). But as soon as it cleared Karen had it packaged and shipped lickety-split, like always! I ordered full sizes of Fresh and Mystic fragrances. Based on the site's description I was pretty sure I'd like them and I am thrilled to say that they are both very nice! Fresh is very "bright" and puts me in a good mood Mystic is powdery, but not overly imo and I do smell the vanilla in it too. I will wear that one tomorrow. I also ordered samples of La Femme, which was too floral-y for me and Tease, which reminds me of a patchouli-like scent. I think they are both too "heavy" for me and I am glad I didn't plunge in and get f/s of those. I am pretty sure that I will be ordering back-ups of Fresh and Mystic in my next order. Thanks Karen for the fragrances and I hope you create more (hint, hint).

I got my order yetersday. I am in Canada so I consider this very fast shipping.

I had ordered some things that I had been sitting on my wish list for a while such as Honey eye shadow (love - perfect glowy brownish nuetral and brings out the green in eyes) and Crush Berry lippie and Rich blush sample.

I love love Peach Melba lippie. It is peach; not orange and sheer shiny colour. I highly recommend if you like peach colours.

I ordered the new full coverage foundation sample with all five base colours and I will try to mix a batch this weekend. I also got some of the cream liners and perfume samples. I need to try all these items before reporting.
