**CLOSED** Opulent Alchemy Review and Giveaway from me to you!

Posted by Heather Manning On April - 20 - 2010

Congratulations to Courtney and thank you to everyone who entered!

I found another awesome Etsy seller!  Opulent Alchemy.

I love perfumes.  I have a lot of different scents that are spray perfumes and those are great, but I really love the roll on oils.  They always seem to last longer for me.  I’m not a perfume creator and I don’t pretend to be one on TV, so I don’t know why that is, and I won’t even try to guess, but that has just been my experience.

When I saw Opulent Alchemy products and her prices (which are a steal by the way!) I had to grab some.  She also included a couple of extra bottles when I asked her if she would like a review.  That was so nice!  Once I smelled them I would have told you about them period.  They smell that good!

I got -

TWILIGHT Perfume Oils – I got the Edward scent.  Was there any doubt?  If you made me choose, and it’s a tough choice, I think this is my favorite of the ones that I got.

EDWARD perfume is a seductive & mysterious blend of Bergamot, Rosemary, Moss, Sandalwood, Mint, & Amber.

FLOWERBOMB (Viktor and Rolf Type)

Top notes of bergamot, tea, and peony, leading to an explosive flowery midsection of real jasmine absolute, freesia, orchid, orangeflower, and a kiss of peach, with a warm, sweet drydown of cedarwood, patchouli, amber, leather, musk, and vanilla.
Bottom Line: Dizzingly floral, delightfully upscale — one whiff and KABOOM!!! you’re bathed in an explosion of flowery nirvana.

Honey I Washed the Kids – How could I not choose that one with a name like that?  It cracked me up!

Honey I Washed the Kids Composition: Top notes of fresh Citrus with a sweet Honey – Floral Bouquet, a heart of Peach, Apple, & Toffee, with a lingring soft base of wood & Musk notes…. Yum.

Snow Fairy – This is probably, probably, probably my second favorite.  I keep changing my mind every time I smell them.

Sweet & mouth watering confection… Luscious passion fruit, sugary cotton candy, juicy strawberries, with a base of vanilla.
* A blend of nature (pure essential oils) & scientce (fragrance oils), in a base of pure Grapeseed Oil.

KAI

KAI … is devastatingly feminine & dangerously flirtatious … this blend of white flowers should be a controlled substance! If you love gardenia, you need to own this – it is so incredibly fresh and true that it smells like you just pinned a newly cut gardenia in your hair. Lush, but clean.

The Comforter

The Comforter Composition: Uplifting & comforting Bergamot & Orange Citurs top notes, lead to a warm heart of soft floral, cinnamon, & clove. Leafy green accents add dramatic texture & depth, with an earthy & balanced base of Patchouli, Sweet Vanilla, & minty Pennyroyal.

Do you know how many more there are in Opulent Alchemy’s Etsy store that I want to try?  American Cream, Rock Star, and Porridge are at the very top of my wish list.

I love sweet smelling perfumes.  Perfumes that smell like fruits with a hint of flower are my absolute favorite!  Most of the ones that I received were just like that.  But then there were some bolder ones.  And I loved those too.  You just can’t go wrong!

Her prices?  I could stock up on all of her perfume oils and not feel guilty at all.

Average of $4.75 for 1/3 of an ounce.

10 perfume samples – 1 ml vials – $12.50

3 1/6 of an ounce bottles average $10.50

She has a few that are a little more, but even at their price, they are an awesome deal!  You really should check her out.

I’m waiting for my next check because I’m going to grab some more.  Going through her store to tell you how awesome her prices are, I saw a few more I want. :)   I can’t help it.  Perfume is my downfall.  Sugar, Rockin’ Red Velvet Cake, Milk Milk, Chocolovers, A Baby’s Grace, so many to choose from, how can you decide?

You know what, this was just going to be a review, but I loved her products so much and want someone else to experience them that I personally will do a giveaway!  Winner’s choice of any of her 1/3 of an ounce perfume oils.  (One bottle)  So let’s get this going!

Go over to Opulent Alchemy’s Etsy store and check out her 1/3 of an ounce perfume oils. Let me know which one you want if you win!

New Cafepress stuff

Posted by Heather Manning On April - 20 - 2010

I totally forgot I had my Cafepress store.  How bad is this?  I got an email this morning that said, you’ve got Cafepress cash, what are you going to do with it?  I was like huh?  I sold something?  I went and looked, I said quite a few somethings.  Do they highlight products every once in awhile?  They must have because I sold multiple copies of this –

twimom 

Twimom Infant Bodysuit

Or somebody told somebody who told somebody.  Either way, I don’t mind.  It inspired me to get to work.  So today, I’m going to show off my own stuff.  I can do that right?  I figured out what I’m going to do with the Cafe Cash – I’m buying the license plate holder I just made.  He he he.  It’ll match my I drive like a Cullen window decal with Edward’s silhouette.

Then I made this

And this –

That’s it for the Twi-stuff I made, BUT I made some mother’s day shirts too!

If you click on each of the pictures, you can see them larger.  Plus, if you browse through the store, there are different versions of each picture, on cups, aprons, bottles, lots of things to choose from for both Twi-fans and mama’s for mother’s day!  Think Pato will buy me the World’s bestest mommy shirt for mother’s day? 

You can also go directly to the sections

For The Little Ones

Scottish Stuff

I’ve got more ideas floating in my head right now.  But I have to get the house ready for them to deliver my bed tomorrow.  Can’t have them tripping over all my clothes the toys strung out all over the place.

I’ll be back with some reviews of things that aren’t my own after soccer practice – and after I get my chores done.  Yep, I said it.  I gave myself chores today.  Blech.

In the meantime, I put up 2 new giveaways last night.  Go check them (and the others) out!

Now to lose enough weight that I can wear one of those cute little shirts and feel comfortable. Safe diet supplements anyone?
