BPAL Lupercalia (and Lunar New Year and Champagne Lace) 2016 decants
It's been a while, but I'm getiing back into decanting in a big way with this year's Lupercalia update! This circle is already happening on bpal.org as well as allthesparkles.com (and, heeey, looking for a place to discuss makeup and beauty, especially indie stuff? Check it out!), so I decided I should go ahead and post on lj in case anyone here was interested. My standard policies can be found here. To highlight a few key things:
And now, the scents! Warning: This is the biggest BPAL update I've ever seen! Due to the size, I'm removing bottle slot numbers (seriously, lj won't let me post this due to size!) and will keep the master list here:
Fire Monkey (Lunar New Year 2016) - Peony, bamboo, orchid, pomelo, plum blossom, tangerine, lychee, pine resin, golden kumquat, pussy willow, King mandarin, cypress, peach fruit, an extra dollop of wild orange and flaming red dragon’s blood.
Champagne Lace (Dark Delicacies exclusive) - A glittering celebration: folds of opium-stained, vanilla-smoked lace with white cognac and a splash of chanpagne. PLEASE NOTE: In the event that this sells out before I am able to place the order, I will refund this slot, just like any bottle canceled due to lack of signups.
