I'm waiting for my Ghost Puffs pumpkin butter to arrive from Haus of Gloi.

Since it's a limited run scent, and I have heard so many good things about it, I went with the full size instead of the 2 oz sample.

Nice order, Boogie. Is Ribbon Candy a reorder? I was tempted with this sale, but opted for the Solstice Scents holiday scent release instead.

I only got a couple of Dark Ginger Spice Cake (Gingerdead Man from last year). I love the GM perfume I got last year and wanted it in other products. I got a cream soap and a Ganache.

Jules, I have never tried CP's Ribbon Candy. It should be interesting to try all of the variations of it in the set. I'm really surprised that I bought the set since I lean towards earthy scents in the winter. I will probably share these goodies with my daughters.

I also bought a 10 pack of sample perfumes from Solstice Scents, including the new blends and a few from the Autumn release that I never got around to trying. The one scent I didn't get in the sampler was Dark Ginger Spice Cake, but I'll be sure to try something in that if I make a larger order after testing the samples. Angela was so creative with this winter release. I hope her Spiked Nog & Nutmeg is yummy because I need a great eggnog scent. Gloi's Eggnoggin is just too lightly scented for me, and it's a major tease.

I'm interested to see how you like the ribbon candy collection from Cocoapink.

I didn't try any of Solstice autumn scents this time. Foxcroft looked good. I'm curious about the Winter's scents called Night Star and Sugarvale too. I asked for a sample of Night Star.

Christmas must be coming. [smilie=yes] I ordered body butters in Creme Vanille and Italian Cream Cake from Etsy's MadcitySue and a set of 3 perfume sprays for my sis. I also got Shower Parfait Cream Soaps in Pumpkin Chai and Gingerbread for me. ;) Can't beat the price on the sprays - 3/$10! They're really good and make great stocking stuffers, too. The icing on the cake was she's having a 20% off BF sale today! [smilie=th_ecd36868]

Finally getting around to posting my Pre-Black Friday Order with Cocoa Pink:

Cocoa Mango Body Butters:Cranberry Citrus Sorbet, Key Lime Clouds, Sugar Coated Gumdrops, K Kreme Doughnut, and Snow Flurries

Voluptous Body Butters:Butterscotch Marshmallow Frosting, Jelly Doughnut, and Red Velvet Cake

Linen Sprays:Figgy Pudding, Jelly Doughnut, and Red Velvet Cake

Princess Poo: Snow Flurries

Shine Sweetie: Snow Flurries

Perfumes: Black Orchid & Vanilla, Signature White, Snow Flurries, and Tihota

Can't wait for my order except I can't open it till Christmas [smilie=crap] since it is a Christmas gift from my mom and brother, I am counting down the days til Christmas [smilie=th_excited-1]

Can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts on scents. I agree Boogie about Haus of Gloi eggnog scent, so funny how you describe it as being such a tease [smilie=th_giggle] lol!! I made orders for eggnog scents at Jojoelle Creamy Eggnog Fluff-A delicious blend of marshmallow, eggnog, Lait Sucre and dreamy vanilla. Extra creamy and sweet with a touch of spice and Cleanse Your Soul's Joyful and Triumphant-Eggnog w/ extra cream, accompanied by a vanilla buttercream frosted sugar cookie.

That name Gingerdead man sounds hilarious Jules but I guess Dark Ginger Spice Cake is a more appropriate sounding name all year round lol! How is the spice in this, I've been trying out a bunch of different gingerbread scents to see which ones I like. So far my favorites are Haus Parkin and LathersnLights Gingerbread Girl.

I also took advantage of Mad City Sue's 20% off sale too sweet&spiceygrl and I also got Creme Vanille in as one of the three perfumes in the set!! I also pick the scents Vanilla Swirl and Hazelnut Marshmallow in the perfumes. I also got a scrub in the split scents Pizzelle Cookies and Hazelnut Marshmallow, a body butter in Pizzelle Cookies, and a shower parfait cream soap in Mint Sugar Cookies. Sounds like you and your sister are in for some great Christmas presents [smilie=th_i-m_so_happy]

Great orders gals, and it's nice that you were able to get in on MCS's sale. She hardly ever does sales.

I have been good and have not splurged on any of the Black Friday sales, except for my Cocoa Pink order from last week. I am waiting for the sale from Can-Do Candles, and also waiting to see what Moona puts up for her Christmas sale.

I was surprisingly restrained for Black Friday - that NEVER happens :lol: I actually held back because I hoped LSC would have her sale later this weekend after all, and nope - wanted to keep some $$ set aside just in case. Now she says it'll be Dec. 26th.

I did order 4 soaps from Wylde Ivy when she announced her pre-BF sale earlier this week. They shipped right out and I got them on Friday. Haven't used any of them yet, but they smell great! I got them in Black Tobacco, Raven (both WI lotion faves), Green Grass and Sugared Mint. LOVE the muslin bags she ships them in - they'll definitely be re-purposed when I'm done with them.

Also ordered from CYS for her BF sale. Kept it small - a 10oz. scrub, 3-in-1 Body Bubbles, and 8oz. Goats Milk and Honey lotion each in Oatmeal, Milk & Honey, and Eucalyptus Spearmint. Love both scents, and OMH has always been a bath and body staple for me (tarts too) - so comfy cozy!

Couldn't pass up Savor....sigh...I do not need any more soap but I got the Blueberry Vodka w/ spearmint soap, Blueberry Boy Bait creme fraiche, and three cremas ( Czarina-dupe for Lush's Sultana, Joie de Vivre, and Pear). I am thinking of going back for that pretty windowpane Fruit Blush soap, and maybe some Grapefruit Apricot creme fraiche.

Blueberries & Vodka is amazing, isn't it? I wasn't sure if I'd like it because I'm not fond of minty scents, but I'm glad I gave it a try. The mint note is sweet (not icy) and blends with the other notes really well...pleasantly surprised with that one.

As far as recent orders, I recently tried Cocoa Pink for the first time and am not sure why I waited so long! I got a small glissade in Marshmallow and small linen sprays in Marshmallow Cake on Mondays and Ivory Eyelet.

Love everything, especially the glissade! I'm using it in place of mousse for volume, and I only have to use a little at a time since I have short, straight hair. It works better than my mousse did and both the hold and the scent last all day. The linen sprays are nice, but the scent doesn't last quite as long as I'd like, so I may have to try a dry oil spray instead.

I mentioned several samples, thinking she would just choose from the ones I'd listed, but she was very generous with the samples - got a small scrub sample in Black Marshmallow and four edp samples in Cranberry Eyelet, Jelly Doughnut, Fluffy Green Tea, and Sun Kissed Clouds. Haven't tried the scrub yet, but the perfumes are all pretty nice. I'm not sure if any of them would be re-orders for me, but I will re-order all three of the scents that I got in the full-sized products. I was especially impressed with the marshmallow scent, which is strong and doesn't have a base or plastic smell to it (or play-doh, like I got from MCS scrub...even after curing).

Looking forward to ordering from CP again soon, and also possibly Lilypad, as soon as I find out whether or not her marshmallow scent is as good as CP's!

Add me to the Moona list. This was my first-ever order, so I just got one of each of the things I wanted to try (soap, 4-in-1, lotion, and lip butter).

Soaps went really quickly - I was there right when the Sunday morning sale started, and I didn't get any of the soap scents I wanted, so I went for a "consolation" scent. I also didn't manage to get any of these products in King Cake, which was the scent I wanted to try most. :blink:

Still happy I was able to get in on it, though - I've been wanting to try Moo's stuff for quite a while. Here's what I got:

Soap: Lavender & Chocolate
Potion Lotion: Cherry Clafouti
4-in-1: Southern Blackberry Jam Cake
Lip Butter: Chocolate Strudel

(Can you tell I like foodie scents?)

Let the waiting commence...
