Making up for a disappointing Sniffari at Ulta, Sephora, & B&BW

Angel Fantasm by MuglerMuglerAngel Fantasm4.322 ratings

I didn't wear any scent on my way out today because i was taking my first trip to Sephora and Ulta in over a year (they're a bit of a drive). First, none of the things I wanted to test were there. Second, the few things I tested anyway were not to my tastes. I liked the nozzle of Orabella Eternal Roots, I think it was? But the bottle was empty. Lake & Skye 11 11 was the real winner today but I lost my test strip to the ether on the way home. I had hoped to pick up a travel spray today but left empty-handed. On the plus side, I no longer have FOMO for Libre Sandalwood or Vanilla Coutures (too strong and sweet, and Vanilla Couture contaminated all my other sample strips despite carefully keeping them separated. It started to nauseate me and i had to dispose of them) or Eilish 2 (just okay. Did not excite me.)

Even Bath & Bodyworks didn't have what I was looking for - an autumn hand sanitizer scent and a nice hand sanitizer carrier keychain. The couple scents I liked were the only ones in their respective displays without a sanitizer version. And there was one single Nightmare Before Christmas item, a Sally hand soap that I didn't enjoy.

I did pick up a super comfy chair today from a thrift store that I first spotted a few weeks ago, and did not buy because I'd have to fold up my cat's favorite chair. But, he has been sleeping on the couch more than his chair. So I'm now sitting in my chair with a cozy spritz of Angel Fantasm. To make up for putting his chair away, I got kitty a few different treats for later.

    That stinks when you go out with the hopes of finding a new love and get so sorely disappointed! I work at BBW so if you are ever curious about something let me know! BBW is releasing 4 new scents as part of the Everday Luxuries line!

      Oooh, do you know what they'll be duping? My fingers are crossed so hard for some Byredo or Diptyque, but I know thats probably a pipe dream.

      Thank you!! They're an hour away through a lot of hills and twisty roads so I don't generally keep up with the news. I loved one called something like Cozy Sweater, and another called Carnival Fog and those were the ones without hand sanitizers. Carnival Fog only had candles left. There was a Violet scent that I tried with the intention of possibly picking up a travel spray but I couldn't smell it at all - maybe because I'd ruined my nose at Ulta and Sephora lol.
