Random Grab #5

Well, it's time for another RG post! Are you so excited? lol. I told you I'd try and get another one out here soon. I'm so excited, we're supposed to get our first snow tonight! Yes, yes, I am one of those freaks that loves the snow...and winter. Anyhow, stay tuned down at the bottom, I'm looking for a little input....


Singapore Sling:
Color: White
Fragrance: As part of the Black Label line, this is some primo scent! The BL line comes in two forms, the candle it's self and SS form. This one is so so good! I know Jason (holla) loves this one! It's like one of his faves. To me, in this one I get like a lemon/lime sugared cupcake sort of smell. It's really really delightful! And you can smell like, each individual note! You get the tart of the lemon, it almost zing's your nose if you breathe in deep enough. Then you can smell the sweet note of the sugar and the baked goodness of the muffin. I believe there's also some poppy seed in there too, but who knows what the heck a poppy seed smells like. Do they even have a smell? Love this one!

Apple Cider
Color: Dark Grassy Green
Fragrance: First off you get the spice. It's not like the normal spice, it's like a cider spice....if that makes any sense at all. And the apple I wouldn't say is a green apple. It's more of a sweet apple, like a golden delicious or a red delicious...I love this one as well. It literally reminds me of a nice mug of apple cider. Not the cheap from a packet type, but the real deal, mix it and put in a mug. mmmmmmm. Cozy, crackling fire. Mug of cider and a warm someone to snuggle with. Perfect.

Amber Romance:
Color: Pumpkinny Orange
Fragrance: If you love the smell of amber, you'll love this one. I for one (big surprise) love it! If this is duping certain perfumes from certain companies with people who's names start with V's, then...it's a good dupe! man, this ones good. It's a very warm, sexy fragrance. The blend of amber and the musk that's in it, it's just perfect. I would probably burn this one the most in my room. Or when I'm taking a bath.

Ranking this one's going to be hard!

1. Singapore Sling & Amber Romance
2. Apple Cider

Now, as for the input. Do you guys like what I'm doing with this? do you want something different in the blog as well? I'm open to ideas. Let me know guys. I haven't been getting any comments on here, so I don't know if you're actually liking this!

Random Grab #4

Happy post election day everyone! I know I'm glad it's over. All the name calling and mud slinging drive me crazy! Why can't people just get along? I have not done one of these for weeks so I have a special treat for you! I'll be doing a couple of these this week! I know, I know...try and contain yourselves. LOL. I just bet you all sit there waiting for me to post...anyhow. Now that life is somewhat back to normal, since we've had our guests from France here for 2 weeks. I'll be able to catch up hopefully!

First draw outta the chute....

Raspberry Peach Cobbler:
Color: Fall Leaf Reddish Brown
Fragrance: Honestly, when I first got this one I wasn't too wild about it. It's still kind of a hodge podge to me. I like it all right, but I don't know that it's one of my favorites. I smell the traditional cobbler scent in there, the crustiness. But, the peach and the raspberry are smelling awkward to me? It's not horrible, but I think I'd like a little more fruitiness to come out in this one.
Warm Throw: About the same for me.

Neroli Blossom:
Color: Amber Orange
Fragrance: I believe this is just supposed to be an Orange Blossom right? This is a clean scent to me. I like this one. Normally, I'm not much for clean scents. They remind me of the bathroom....*cough* anyway....
This is fruity, without being, "wow! smell the fruit in that!" it's more a subtle fruit, mixed in with a nice floral. A soft powdery floral. Together the scents blend comfortably!
Warm Throw: This baby is powerful. Really great throw on this one!

Sea Salt and Lotus Blossom
Color: Plummy Purple
Fragrance: Again, not big on clean scents, but I LOVE THIS ONE! It's nice and oceany. But a soft ocean. The blossom portion to me smells like a hyacinth. I love hyacinth. This is totally silly, but I imagine this being the flower that's in Ariel's hair! It's a nice soft, watery, girly fragrance. It would make a great perfume.
Warm Throw: Nice and light and airy!

Ranking:
1. Sea Salt and Lotus Blossom
2. Neroli Blossom
3. Raspberry Peach Cobbler
