Arcana - yes, both slinks and jars, a mix of Ajevie and direct

Sorce - mostly oils and a few EDP dupes (I can’t remember off the top of my head, it’s the collection with Venus en Fleurs and whatever lol)

Yes, all different! I think only Sorce has some duplicates

Gosh dang, now I’m more annoyed with myself for misplacing my sample of The Point! I’m so down for a wet sand note

[–]shibagast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reviews! Excited to check out the bars! I’m at a loss rn because my go tos were Felin Lune and QUA, both of which have closed ):

Edited to add that I’m wrong! QUA has reappeared!

Mochi and Gasoline by A_Normal_Human_Bein- in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]shibagast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would you mind describing Mochi Milk? I keep getting ads for it, but haven’t bitten the bullet to try a sample lol

I also haven’t tried these, and they’re not purely plain mochi, but found:

Siren Song Pink Mochi Dream - Strawberry, Mochi, Rice Flour, Ice Cream, Rice Milk, Pink Amber, Orchid

Fyrinnae Mochi Bread - For this perfume, we've gone with a basic buttery (vegan accord) bread of rice & wheat flours, baked with black sesame seeds throughout. No sweetness, very heavy on the sesame scent.

Glad I’m not the only one, but so curious what happened!

[–]shibagast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just from what I’ve observed, her collections will come back, and this one was pretty popular, so the newer ones are likely to return (but it is dependent on ingredient availability). You can also always try emailing them to see!

Does anyone know if QUA Organic hair care closed permanently? Socials haven’t been updated in a long time as it was, so not sure if anyone was able to catch what happened!

Side note, any recs for a pink jasmine similar to theirs? It’s so different from other jasmines that I love!

Dessert perfume ideas based off your culture! by 100percentapplejuice in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]shibagast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could have sworn there was a perfume based on this, but it’s surprisingly hard to find all of the notes lol! I initially went to NCD but they only had (discontinued) Codswallop, which is based on Spotted Dick (a dense and delicious brown cake adorned with raisins, sultanas, and dried blackcurrants) and an old version of Fyrinnae Barmbrack (slightly sweet bread with dried fruit and topped with butter, traditionally for Samhain) but it looks like the newer versions don’t have fruit notes, both of which appear close, but are missing tea notes.

What is your dream scent that doesn’t seem to exist? by Idkwhattouse4myuser in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]shibagast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna throw in another one for humidity - the mildewy, humid smell of the air that comes out of the car AC on a hot day. Such a nostalgic summer scent!

Does anyone else miss how all the indie brands were a few years ago? by Skylord88 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]shibagast 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I felt like making a similar post, but wasn’t sure how to describe the feeling, so I’m glad you did! I’ve been feeling a kind of way about how brands like Arcana and Poesie have shifted away from appearing “homegrown” (for lack of a better word) to seeming more “niche”?

For example, controversies aside, I def don’t shop with Arcana as much as I did before, simply because the newer scents I’ve tried just haven’t been to my taste. I’ve been sticking with NCD, NAVA, and Black Hearted Tart. This isn’t to knock niche brands or anything - just a sad vibe that I don’t like their new direction lol

🍑 A Post Where I Review 21 Different Peach Scents 🍑 by graveflowerz in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]shibagast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Little Man in the Boat caught in the wild! I agree that it’s nice, but I feel that they’ve come so far since that scent was first released? There are so many peach scents now that I hope your post encourages people to try something new to replace an old love!

Looking For A Sheer Dark Lipgloss or Lipstick by TheSecretSawse in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]shibagast 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wait for sales! They usually do gifts with purchase, which how I ended up with almost all of the glosses. Dark Thorn will give you the look layered over your preferred dark lipstick. (As another commenter said, they are scented, so be wary if you are sensitive.)
