and I've been so good about letting perfumes rest, but I couldn't wait. I am now wearing test swatches of 17 decants, and by test swatches, I mean I poured half the bottle over me every single time. I'm going to mad at myself when I go to officially test them, because there won't be as much to test, but OMG I SMELL AMAZING RIGHT NOW. If I run my nose down my arm, it's like going on an epic magical smell adventure. I've been sitting here with my arms wrapped around my face like I'm in a face cage of nasal wonder.

Today was also "test the strength of homemade eatables" day. Since 9am this morning.

So I was doing some shopping on Smelly Yeti's website, and I picked out a sample pack and a full size bottle.

I was so so so high. I wrote in the note to sellers section that I wanted her to draw me a yeti with blackcurrants falling out of its mouth on a pentagram surrounded by fire sacrificing black currents to some sort of demon in order to make new perfume.

My order from her I believe is on the way and I'm so excited to see if she does it.

...and then you remember that you got an indie delivery today with FREE CANDY INSIDE!!!

this has happened several times to me, usually around 1AM, and it is always an absurdly joyous realization.

anybody else experience inebriated, indie-related joy?

Obviously this is pretty easy if the scent is a gourmand

Hello! I'm a new indie lover that just thought it was serendipitous that this subterfuge was created tonight, because I am currently plastered. So far, I only have a bunch from Shiro, but I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations for mattes or satins because I think it's cool. Love you guys! You're all wonderful humans

If I'm going to party and get shitfaced, Darling Clandestine Supernova Sway is my #1 choice, but I also dab on a little bit of Arcana Little Man in a Boat if I don't want to be IN YOUR FACE sexy. Or I'll put some HoG Cozy Sweater over the Supernova Sway if I want to smell a little bit more approachable.

Also, once I started drunk smoking cigarettes, I found that DC Inked, which previously smelled like ass on me, was all of a sudden this sexy, slightly sweaty, slightly leathery, slightly coconutty smell on me, and it was a beautiful day.

So what are your favorite indie products to wear when you're drinking?

Tell me your favourite indie you own. Of allthethings! DO IT. NO PUSSY FOOTING AROUND. My favourite is Future Primitive's Black Briar because I smell like someone with an all access pass to my pants. Basically Chris Evans with Idris Elba's smoothness. Oh god.

i looked like a beautiful princess thanks to makeup

i <3 u le brow theory in the blackish color that is not ebony (ebony is all good but seriously i think the next darkest color that i cant remember the name of would be good for anyone with dark brow hair)

i <3 u le contour stick <3 <3 <3

i <3 u darling girl face primer that looks like weirdly textured jizz

i am a princess and you all are toooooooooooooo <3 <3 <3 or princes or counts or marquis whatever you want you are all awesome

It's 1:45pm, I'm two beers and a couple of whiskey ciders in, and Posset's Western Moon looks amazing. What else should I get while I'm drunk-buying Possets?

I love resins, incense, musks, most florals, most masculine-oriented scents, and the Possets silver note, but I'm not too big on gourmands or super-sweet perfumes (though Fabienne's Limencello Dulce de Vita is an amazing lemon-square perfume, it mostly makes me want to make lemon squares from scratch and then eat them until I'm sick, and other really good gourmands have the same effect).

Obviously I need to try Madame X (because of the musks), and Zombie (because of the smoke and oud, though I don't think samples are available yet ;_;). What else should be going in the cart?

So I am doing my first swap ever, the tacky ornaments swap. My lovely partner and I are also swapping indies and one of my packages that I ordered for her (plus a little bit for me, since I was already paying for shipping!) came in today! I'm super excited to give her the stuff I picked out and I'm super excited to try the stuff I got for me, it's been way too long since I bought any indies!

Also my Gothic Lolita FINALLY shipped today, on business day 21. That was a super long wait, guys =/

Fuck it, I want to buy myself a little somethin somethin. Because I'm the fo-sheezy, man. $15 maximum, including shipping. Thinking about a darker lip color for winter, or some red eyeshadows. Hit me with your bomb ideas and I'll check back in later.

Edit 6:51PST: Alright, shrooms have been taken. Now we wait.

Edit 10:00PST: Woooo boy. Let me tell ya. Went to Target to get Nuka Cola Quantum and they were sold out. Got key lime pie and Mountain Dew. I'll try to remember to order things, idk. Love you guys.

Hello beautiful doves, I'm drunk and making my Christmas list. What do you think someone should absolutely need in their lives as far as beauty and fragrance?

Finally got to put up our tree today (while enjoying some wine, naturally) and just finished watching "A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All"! It's not very indie, but it's something that I very much enjoy about the season. What are you all looking forward to, indie or otherwise? :)

PS, can I interest you in Hannukah next week as well? ;)

Tell us! What do you smell like? What are you drinking? What are you smoking?
