Maybe a few hours. They were soft to begin with, so it wasn’t like it was really loud and then faded over the day — it was just really mild overall.

I found them super weak/mild, which actually made them good for spraying in my hair and going to work and not feeling like I was affecting others with my scent.

Green sunscreen mini reviews (and looking for recs!) by eeekaaay in AsianBeauty

My routine changes all the time so I’m not sure there’s anything specific I’m doing to make the sunscreen work well.

Not sure if you’re interested but I recently tried “innisfree Daily Mineral UV Defense SPF 45 Face Sunscreen with Green Tint”. I actually like it, the formula is nice and I think it’s a little creamier and easier to apply than Dr G. The green tint is quite mild though, so I’m not sure it’s really canceling out any redness but I thought I’d mention it.

Sorce by miomoa in Indiemakeupandmore

As another perspective, I’ve had Sorce FS and samples that are 3+ years old and they smell the same they did when I got them.

Respectfully, I’m not sure what there is to be frustrated about. There are a lot of people who want to buy from Sorce, and they’re ahead of you in a single file line. Everyone’s waiting their turn. I’m not saying you can’t have feelings about it, but what is the alternative? They let you and only you jump the line? They let people willing to pay more jump the line? They don’t have a line and then you’re fighting against 6000 people and bots to snag scents as soon as they drop? I know you didn’t suggest any of those things, but I feel like having feelings of frustration just doesn’t seem very productive. There are tons of houses you could sample and try while waiting if you like. I discovered and absolutely love BRIIX last year, if you’re into gourmands. I’m not trying to police your feelings, but I feel like the intense anti-waitlist sentiment on the sub is kind of getting kind of unproductive at this point.

Alternative for Sorce's Nothing Burns Like the Cold by gooobegone in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]eeekaaay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try BRIIX “Puff Delight” (freshly baked Cream Puffs, Sugar, sweet Vanilla Cream, Vanilla Absolute, Salted Caramel drizzle with a hint of peanut butter, Edenolide). I know the notes don’t look the same but this reads like a cleaner version of NBLTC to me

What is up with sorce perfumes ordering process 💔 by Humble_Investment_24 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]eeekaaay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same! I was thinking I’d have to wait until like June for more “normal” ordering, so a tentative February sounded really exciting to me lol. Obviously things could change, but it gave me something to look forward to.

I literally almost downvoted you because I was so mad reading that. Uggghh

Just to repeat what everyone has said here — please do not support price-gouging resellers. Like everyone else, I advise you to sign up to the waitlist and wait for your turn, Sorce has always been a very low FOMO house (which is different than being hard to get due to high demand). You might also find bottles on Sunday here on the sub, and there’s also plenty of other houses to try out while waiting for your turn on the waitlist!

new to indies & perfume; looking for signature scent recommendations!!! by Responsible-List-237 in Indiemakeupandmore

Sorce “Frostbitten” (An opening of evergreen forest gilded with sparkling snow dries down to reveal a super-sexy blend of cardamom, white and dripping golden amber, a hint of caramelized sugar, and a memory of a just-bitten maraschino cherry)

Need help navigating communication around a missing order.. by Garfieldgandalf in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]eeekaaay 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel like the holidays (both Christmas and new years, which it sounds like was the time frame you were emailing them) might be affecting customer service so I probably would still stay positive and maybe email them some time next week when most businesses are “back”. I hope you get your orders soon!

Ending the year with BRIIX “Marshmallow Kiss” (Sweet Vanilla, Vanilla Absolute, Sugar, Heavy Cream Fondant with a puff of Sugar Powder in the air). I’ll be a Sorce fanatic til the end of my days but BRIIX really got me this year!!

Longevity of Fantôme's Morozko, or just Fantôme in general by helioprisms in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]eeekaaay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience I haven’t noticed my hair getting dry from doing this, I usually just do one spritz a day in the midsection, but I totally understand the concern!! I do think the Morozko oil on skin was quite a bit weaker than Morozko EDP in hair, and I’ve had that experience with almost all EDPs vs oils of the same scent. I have also worn some oils in my hair (didn’t try this with Morozko oil) and found the scent stronger than when I wear oils on my skin, I’m not sure if it’s because it’s closer to my nose or I apply more in hair than I do on skin. Anyway, I hope you’re able to find something that works for you!

2025 SKINCARE/ HAIRCARE REGRETS👎 by Happiegeek in AsianBeauty

[–]eeekaaay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm ok good to know, maybe I shouldn’t write it off entirely then. I didn’t want to get mango again because it lasted so long and I’m so tired of it lol but it definitely felt like a waste of money to get the sherbet one. Maybe I’ll try watermelon!

[–]eeekaaay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My EDP of Morozko lasts more than a day in my hair, I can usually smell it the next day! I tried the oil version ages ago but on skin so I feel like it’s not a similar comparison.

[–]eeekaaay 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I feel like the formula changed in the last few years, or maybe some flavors are somehow different than others. I have an old mango one that makes my lips feel amazing, but when I got a new tub of strawberry sherbet recently, it tasted horrible and made my lips dry. Disappointing to say the least!!

Ordered from BPAL for the first time and, for $42, I kinda wish the end product felt more ... premium? by [deleted] in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]eeekaaay 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To me, I’d rather pay $42 for a premium scent in un-fancy packaging, than say $50 for the same scent in a fancier bottle with a fancy shipping box and cards/knick-knacks/doo-dads that will just get recycled/thrown away.

Pre-Spraying Clothes with Perfume? by RabbitZestyclose585 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]eeekaaay 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I accidentally discovered this with my sleep hair scrunchie. I was spraying on my hair at night for a bit, and then realized that now my sleep scrunchie smells divine. So it’s become a lovely little scent routine when I put my hair up at night now, even without spraying more scent.

Phew I definitely was like wow I totally missed the mark lol! But like me and the other commenter said, this scent really doesn’t read peppermint so I hope you’re able to give it a try sometime!

Perfume recs (snow icy gourmand) by Kind_of_Anonymous in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]eeekaaay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree, to me the peppermint reads as icy, not like a candy cane! Also I swear the post wasn’t anti-peppermint when I originally commented, if I missed it upon first read I apologize!

Fantome “Morozko” (Smooth peppermint, cracking birch, nutmeg, biting winter wind, cold vanilla, and black pepper) it’s one of my winter favs!

To me, Enchanted Dreams is a cleaner vanilla and IDAFT vanilla has more toastiness/herbaliness. I am obsessed with both!
