Nina-
They actually were scheduled to be discontinued yesterday. If you get an order in quickly, you can probably still get one.

I'd like to request a clone of Estee Lauder's Sensuous. It's a feminine woody scent that really is the first and only perfume I've ever been tempted to get for myself. It's not fruity or floral like a lot of the trendy perfumes for the past couple of years; instead, it's just fresh and polished. I'd LOVE and totally stock up on a solid version! What do you think? :)

Maybe, if you're more interested in the classics, Poison by Dior? I've also been hearing really good things about a recent interpretation Dior did of Poison: Hypnotic Poison. It seems to be a more comforting scent than the in-your-face original Poison.

From http://nowsmellthis.blogharbor.com/blog ... 63009.html
"Hypnotic Poison is a creamy-sweet concoction of vanilla sugar, jasmine, and musk, with a velvety finish and a dash of spice. The nutty-woody undertones temper the sweetness perfectly: it is edible without feeling at all cloying or overdone, and does not, like so many of its gourmand compatriots, smell too young and sweet for a grown woman to wear."
...
"... in stark contrast to Poison, which you might wear out on the town in black leather and stiletto heels, Hypnotic Poison is at home in front of the fireplace in a cashmere sweater, and more interested in a leisurely breakfast in bed than a night of intrigue and adventure."

I'm so excited to see what you're going to roll out in the next couple of days!!

I checked into that blush last week and bought a fullsize (along with some other last chance items), and soooo happy I did! I'm wearing it first time today, and it's perfect. Not knowing what lippie to match it with, just layered it on top of the clear lippie with a lipbrush, and oooohhhhh, myyyyy!
It's possibly the perfect rose on my lips, not pinkish rose, but just nice, ever so slightly shimmery rosey peachy, but not in a peachy way, heh. Love love love it. The application is a bit of drag, so I'm wondering if there is already a lippie that was based on or meant to be paired with this blush. If not, I'll keep using it this way as it's perfection :)

The lippie that goes with Foxxy is Darling! I only had a few pigments back then- so they kind of got used a lot- exactly the same pigment, but it's a little warmer in the lippie.
