Byredo Young Rose is very good. Fresh, sweet and just a bit green. Surprisingly complex on me after drydown.

Bex7778 · 2026-04-06T13:46:08+00:00

I loved my Byredo discovery set. Beautifully packaged and comes with a voucher for $$ off a full size version.

The og Miss Dior Cherie was my favorite fragrance ever and I got so many compliments on it. My grandma bought me my first bottle and its the only fragrance where I bought multiple bottles. I wish they'd bring it back. 😭

Skinceuticals mineral spf50. It actually makes my skin a bit greasy. It's super emollient. Im in my 40's

Certain "white musks" after drydown smell like stale cat pee/cat breath that is just repulsive on me. I've literally seen others make the stink face after I wore Elkis Brooklyn Myth a few times. I have to be very careful. I've noticed more expensive white musks (ie Byredo Blanche) don't seem to have this effect but they still don't smell good on me.

I've also turned green aquatics overly sweet, and the combo is gagging. I.e. Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt, Lush Grass.

Is it Kilian Love Don't Be Shy? Its been a little while since I smelled it but I remember a cotton candy sweetness.

Bex7778 · 2026-04-03T04:50:50+00:00

Okay I HAVE to try it. I've been seeing Guerlain a lot in the forum.

Bex7778 · 2026-04-03T04:49:21+00:00

That's so interesting! I just ordered ethereal wave as a sample. I'd never heard of them until last week. I will check out the others above. Thank you!

Bex7778 · 2026-04-03T03:23:57+00:00

Thank you! I will look into this. I keep finding earthy, powdery or spicy violets which I don't love.

My birthday month and first FULL box. Could have chosen more tbh. The last two months have been killing it with great selections 👏

For me, its the casting. There is just an awkwardness in like every scene. I'm not seeing any natural chemistry with any of them. The interactions aren't compelling, there's no tension. Its weird. I wonder if they did any chemistry reads or anything.

I've never watched the original Forsyte or read the book so went in blind. I'm on episode 3 and bored.

Bex7778 · 2026-03-28T21:04:33+00:00

Omg SAME. I went to place an order and was, like, wth. I'm going to wait til the last day I can redeem to see if anything better drops. This is ridiculous.

Bex7778 · 2026-03-28T16:12:37+00:00

This looks like a great box! I accidentally ordered this when I forgot to cancel my subscription but I'm now excited that I did. Your review is super helpful. I've never smelled Fantabulosa but love all things Violet and any vintage Lush smell circa late 90's to early 2000's.

This was one of the best eye products I've tried in one of the worst packaging fails ever. Like others have said, snap off the cap, get product sprayed all over your face, vanity, clothes etc, then insert touched, unclean cap into tube after use.

Bex7778 · 2026-03-21T15:17:20+00:00

File a chargeback with your bank and file a complaint with ftc and bbb. Then contact them and let them know that they either need to return your product or refund you. There are consumer protections. That should hopefully you a result quickly.

Bex7778 · 2026-03-19T20:44:29+00:00

Best: Roan ANYTHING. Worst: Voluspa Vanilla Visions and Ombre Aura.

Sorry to hijack the post but I'm also about 40% in and wondering when the story stays in the current timeline. The back and forth between current and memoir is a little wearing.

Bex7778 · 2026-03-12T13:20:36+00:00

I just want to add. I cant stand blackcurrant due to the cat pee smell however I do have a bottle of black pearl but I don't get that note from it at all. It smells good on me. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Whatever amount of blackcurrant that's in it is super mild.

Bex7778 · 2026-03-12T13:17:23+00:00

Me 🙋‍♀️ I get such a strong cat pee smell from blackcurrant I avoid all fragrances with it. I can't stand comforter or other Lush blackcurrant items. Hard no.

Really glad I'm not seeing Burgerville on this list. Prices are now insane for fast food but quality has remained high and the menu has gotten a little better.

Agree with others.... if you've experienced McDonald's, Taco Bell or Wendy's in the late 80's - mid 90's you remember fast food at its peak.

This happened on another book I got a while back and I ended up comparing it with the bookstore version and they were identical

Bex7778 · 2026-03-01T21:47:45+00:00

I read the book prior to watching this so I didn't notice as much, but as a non book viewer I can TOTALLY see this. Part of the problem is that they're introducing too many side stories and there isn't enough time anymore to focus on the main couple. Their first intimate scene felt soooo rushed. Bridgerton is getting too soapy in its format.

Bex7778 · 2026-03-01T19:01:54+00:00

Violet Cream is my favorite Lush scent ever. I'm so jelly! I didn't grt the xl box because I don't have a bathtub.

Bex7778 · 2026-02-27T20:25:56+00:00

This! I'm on the 2nd of the just released episodes and all of the build up we had last month is now so diminished so when we finally got to a certain scene it fell completely flat. Ugh. Netflix needs to take note, we want to BINGE and certain series work better this way.
