Je Suis Accro




While I'm not normally drawn to scents that have bourbon and tonka bean notes, there's something about this perfume that I gladly make an exception for.

The first time I tried this scent, I immediately wanted to wash it off my wrist. However, I thought I'd wait to see how it works with my body chemistry before I do.  At first the scent smelled slightly sweet and peppery(?), which I was not a fan of.  After an hour the peppery scent dissipated, and I was able to detect the vanilla, tonka bean, and sandalwood notes.  

I can see myself wearing this during the spring and summer even though it's a scent not typically worn during the warmer months.  

There's just something about this scent that makes me smile whenever I smell it, which is great since it lasts a long time on me.  

What can else can I say?  It's captivating, and I'm addicted.


What new scent have you been addicted to?

Why?!


Why must companies decide that they should "fix" what already works, or worse, discontinue it?  What made them think this was somehow a good idea to change or discontinue products that their customers enjoy using?!

Sadly, this In The Know* palette by stila is no exception.  While there are tons of neutral colored palettes out there, this is the one I use the most.  Unlike other palettes, there isn't one shadow in this one that isn't pigmented or easy to blend.

Oh well, when the time comes to replace it,  I can get one of stila's Eyes Are The Window palettes in Mind.  I wonder if it would end up being my new HG products..hmm..

Do you have any favorite products(s) that have been reformulated or discontinued?
