Stocktake 2017- Perfume

Now that I have a designated area for all my beauty products, I thought I'd do a little stocktake of everything while reorganizing. If you haven't seen my Beauty Room Tour, you can check that out here. 

Up first is my perfume collection, the last time I did a count of my perfumes it was way back in July of 2015. The post I wrote on that is here. So this is where I am almost 3 years later...


Here are my regular over the counter perfumes. I rarely buy them now. Previous count was 15 and I now have 18. As you can see, I have a few mini perfumes, so I shouldn't have much problem finishing those.

 Indie perfumes is where my love of perfume really lies. I had to break up the collection into a few photos. Here goes :)

This photo shows perfumes from Arcadian Designs, Something Special and there's a few others that I am not sure of the brand.

These perfumes were created by a dear friend who truly has a gift, actually more than one. Su is on Instagram and takes wonderful photos, mostly of insects, hence her account name search @theinsectdiary to check out her photos. These oils are amazing and still smell fantastic after owning them for years.

Here are The Morbid The Merrier, which was a favourite seller of mine until customer service was so bad they shut down. Also one from Smell Bent, 2 from One Hand Washes The Other and 1 from Deep Midnight Perfumes.

Pictured are Latherati, Symbolic Imports, Ophelia's Apothecary, Darling Clandestine and one I'm not sure where it came from. 


This is my collection of oils from Hayward Enterprises, they specialise in perfume dupes.


Another company that sells dupes is Opulent Alchemy.

These are Possets perfumes, I especially love their gourmand scents.

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is the company that began my obsession with indie perfumes.

Last but certainly not least is my latest addiction, which is pretty obvious because the next 4 photos are of the one company.




Love Potion Perfumes is a company that I just can't get enough of. I have both oils and sprays. I will have to do a separate post in the near future about them because with some fragrances having added pheromones and even pheromones on their own, they are different to anything I have tried before. My wishlist continues to grow.

2015 Total Indie Perfumes- 87
Current Total- 128

...And here are my samples! Last count was 40 and I now have 71. So much for downsizing samples! But, to be fair LP Perfumes come out with new collections every other month and it's so hard to resist buying sample packs each time!

I think I have every need covered and some for perfume! I don't really have a goal, apart from using and getting enjoyment from this collection.

What about you, do you love perfume, too?

    Wow you have quite the collection! I literally own two (both of them Marc Jacob's) and then I have some empty bottles which I'm keeping purely because I'm a hoarded hahaha!

    WOW Indie, so many perfumes! How do you wear them all?

    My collection's fairly small - around the 15 mark. (I only know that because I've just looked at the post I did about them!) I'm trying to pan some of them this year (or get as close as I can to panning them) because my wishlist has grown & I want to make way for more.

      I must admit, it can be hard to choose which to wear, lol. I wouldn't call 15 small!

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
