WHO'S GOING TO ANIME EXPO?

Right! So, who's going to Anime Expo? BPAL will be there with 4 exclusive scents all of which sound awesome to me.

Oh man... That Dolly Kei sounds amazing....


I haven't bought any BPAL in a while. Why do I get the feeling you're going to drag me down that path again? >.>


Do you know how long imps usually stay okay? I have a bunch from several years ago, all have been kept in a box and reasonably cool (as cool as the house stays in the summer, which most of the time is okay.) When we got robbed, I lost my spreadsheet, so I have NO idea what half of these are supposed to smell like anymore or what worked on me and what didn't....

Ah, crap, seconding the Dolly Kei love. Am not going to AX, though; will see if I know anyone who is, since it's relatively local for us!

If nobody on my f-list is able to go and you know someone who is, I can send money along! :D (And for shipping)

*evil enabler*

As far as the length of time they stay good, it all depends on the oils in each - some stay for a long time, others degrade. And some mellow and get good as they degrade, while others don't. It's a crapshoot, basically. :)

I've got a bunch sitting around that I need to test because I keep buying them, sniffing them once or twice, and then failing to do anything more.

I am. Shall I get them for you?

PS. I'm going with someone else who is 12, and if it's a sufficient madhouse, I may not be able to find BPAL. So don't send any money till I report back that I have them!

Ooh, that would be wonderful! Thanks!

Glad someone else said something. I'm going, but won't be able to make it until Saturday... and you remember Bat's Day last year. :/ Didn't want to risk them being sold out of one (or more) by the time I get there.

:D Yeah, I know that's the risk, and if She doesn't manage to get them, I just need to start working on A-Kon staff to invite BPAL! (Hey, they gave Lush several tables this year, why not?!)

Totally failed to find BPAL. Sorry!

It's on the end, between 1300 & 1400 and they have plenty of stock. Are you going back tomorrow? If not, I could get some.

[identity profile] rachelmanija.livejournal.com 2012-07-01 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not. Get it!
