The cozy scent and tan coloring makes a perfect winter gift for yourself or others.

Available now are Crystal flakie toppers by Indigo Bananas. The flakes are the same as those in their "Earth, Wind & Fire" toppers. They're made of the same base material as original unicorn pee, but in a flakie format and different colorways. They They have a more opaque beige base and don't shift as much as unicorn pee since they are flat. The flakes are limited since they are no longer manufactured.

LynB Solid Perfume Into The Twilight Zone
Top notes: dried figs, bitter oranges, and ginger
Mid notes: white woods, sage, beeswax
Base notes: amber, cedarwood, and soft musk

Wow! Smells like a luxury designer perfume. It is so well blended, that I cannot really detect single notes. I talked with Jennalyn a bit about this and she confirmed it is her very own blend, not a pre-made fragrance. If this is an indication of what to expect from her in the future, I am stoked! The fragrance is fresh and clean, yet has a subtle warmth underneath. I'd categorize it as beachy or spa-like, but not overly heady. I think this will be a fantastic summer fragrance to wear anywhere. I told her I need this in a companion spray format too, so we shall see!

Victorian Varnish Fizzical A-Peele - A warm mauve and almost coppery base (prugly if you will) with green/gold/purple shimmers and gold reflective glitters. Cap 120.
Theme: Director Spotlight Jordan Peele
Inpso - Jordan Peele's win at the Emmy's!
Such a pretty neutral. The teal shimmery shift is the most prominent under my lighting, and the gold can be seen better in the bottle due to my lighting set up. I just don't have great luck photographing reflectives.

Inpso - Wendell & Wild Demon saying
The maker warns about the flakes sticking up during application and I didn't experience this but thought I'd mention it anyway.
