One of the problems I'm having with BPAL is staying power, particularly with the green, herby, grassy scents I love the best. In one of our previous free-for-alls, several people mentioned regular and assiduous moisturizing which has helped to a certain degree. I've also taken to putting the quickly fading scents into my hair and layering a couple of them (Envy and Embalming Fluid) for added staying power. I'm hoping the scent locket will help even more.
Emma and I placed another BPAL order. I let her choose six (Elf, Amsterdam, Kyoto, Slippery Poppy Tincture, Bess, Black Cat), and I picked out (Iago, Squirting Cucumber, Dragon's Claw, Yggdrasil, The Bow & Crown of Conquest, Lear).
I am also lamenting that I do not live closer to a huge urban center. I'm forty minutes to an hour away from a couple of malls, but they don't have extensive perfume counters and none of the intriguing perfumes with French names I see some people posting reviews about or picking up samples of from Saks. I am jealous. LOL I think my next perfume order will be from perfumedcourt and contain some of those alcohol-based perfumes with the beautiful French names. :)
