Bah. Grrrr.

[cupcake_goth]

I'm having an exasperating day. I am also suffering from a sinus headache that is making me entertain longing thoughts of self-trepanation, and I'm just not in a very good mood. So I repeat: bah. And grrrr.

So! I'm going to distract myself by talking about perfume. Oh Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, why do you want to take all of my money? You see, in the Valentine's Day limited edition scents (available until March 13th), there is a collection named Box of Chocolates.


The Box of Chocolates includes:

- Dark chocolate and cherry
- Dark chocolate and pepper-smoked caramel
- Milk chocolate buttercream
- White chocolate marshmallow and coconut
- White chocolate and strawberry
- White chocolate and sugared violets

I. Am. Doomed. I really want three of those (dark chocolate and pepper-smoked caramel, milk chocolate buttercream, and white chocolate and sugared violets), and am tempted by a fourth (white chocolate and strawberry). I am not tempted by the dark chocolate and cherry, as everything I have tried from BPAL with a cherry note has turned to cough drops on my skin, and I don't like coconut, so white chocolate marshmallow and coconut holds no allure for me. But everything else? ::whimpers quietly::

$17.50 a bottle. Or $100 for the entire set, but then I'm stuck with two scents I don't want. Not to mention that there is a very strong chance that I will want to order extras of at least one of those perfumes. (Hello milk chocolate buttercream!) Not that I'll be able to place an order for two weeks or so, but still, I have to figure out what I want.



Wow, I am in a terrible mood. I should go eat lunch; maybe that will help.

Chocolate Perfume

[purple-mark.livejournal.com]

Actually I have a bottle of Chocolate Fragrance from San Francisco Herb Company. It's pretty good
whenever I want to smell like Willy Wonka!

Yes, I am sure there would be ABSOLUTELY NO ONE who would be interested in the scents you don't want. ;)

(I probably wouldn't, as coconut is not a scent I like and their cherry scents always seem to go ZOMGCHERRRY!!!!!!!!!!!!! on me, but anyway. I am weirdly intrigued by the white chocolate and violet, though I don't tend to wear violet very often as it makes me unaccountably melancholy.)

And yes, lunch should help.

Sell those other bottles and make a mint. It will make up for the original sticker shock.

Well, buying individually the 3-4 that you want would be much less expensive than buying the set, allowing you to purchase doubles of a couple for around the price of the whole set -- but if you do buy the set, hold on to the other two for a while until they're unavailable and in high demand. :)

I am quite a "fan" of the whole self-trepanation thing. Unfortunately, the cranky one keeps hiding the drill set so that I can't quite do it. Personally, I'd find someone who does wood-working. They usually have the right tools, and probably a little steadier hand than trying to do it yourself.

Have Dremel, will call! (As a migraine sufferer, I understand these urges well)

[lady-midnite.livejournal.com]

I dont know about a dremel. I hadnt thought of that...Small, easy to use. Hey, a dremel could be a good thing! Now to convince the cranky one that I need it for non self-mutilating uses...

Dark chocolate and pepper-smoked caramel

I fear I would spend my day daintily nibbling at myself. But I am totally intrigued anyway.

[stroppy-baggage.livejournal.com]

So, no change then.

...

That's why we have to get you a new jacket with the belts in the back.

[cass404.livejournal.com]

Those come in black, yet? Or at least a nice dark gray?

This whole post makes me want to go to Sees Chocolates. Right Now.

I see your Grrr and raise you an ARGH!

I have nothing useful to say...

[triskelmoon.livejournal.com]

How many Beaver'versaries did you end up getting? I admit I ended up with four... *blush*

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Six. In addition to the 4 bottles of the original Beaver Moon that I have hoarded.

Now I just need to find a pretty perfume bottle to put them all in (along with perfumer's alcohol) ...

I have nothing useful to add, but I am also having a hideous day and am in an awful mood and so am coming here to commiserate.

I wish you hadn't mentioned that. I managed to skip buying Gelt during the Yule update...but this?!?!
