I went nuts last night and ordered a zillion Deconstructing Eden samples. Well, that's an exaggeration -- it was 9 (not an actual zillion). I've never tried anything from them before, though, so that feels a little risky. Here's what I picked: Aquarius, Libra, Gemini, Green Man, Haunted, Alyssum House, Naamah, Lena, Poseidon. (See if you can spot the patterns!) I'm excited for the order to arrive and to try these out!

I haven't tried Deconstructing Eden, I'd love to hear impressions when you get them! For the first time in months, I have nothing coming in the mail. I'm incredibly tempted by a few of the Arcana Craves September new scents. But unfortunately it's just not in the budget right now. Incoming student loan payments has put a hold on indie purchasing for a while. I'm planting seeds for my birthday in October, hoping my husband will buy me some BPAL Weenies because fall is my kryptonite and it's a terrible time to be on a low/no buy :(

Oo, high-five for another October birthday! :) That is a sad time for a low/no-buy, though, with both fall scents coming out and your birthday coming up.

I definitely will post some thoughts on the Deconstructing Eden samples when I've had a chance to test them. It might be a while before they arrive, thish makes me kind of sad!

I'm hoping I can save some money before then, maybe splurge on a few bottles for my own birthday treat. Going to be a long fall! My favorite time of year and scent types.
