Hell, I've been through 4 bottles of Flowerbomb, one of Nirvana Black and two of Coco Mademoiselle and Dior Hypnotic Poison. I go all in on fragrances because there aren't many that I love. I feel like I can't get anything out of that damn rollerball. :lol:
I wonder why some brands just don't use the spray version. I've seen one or two that do. I guess the rollerball version is more practical for travel but I hate when you feel like nothing is coming out lol.
At last April's Rouge event, I spoke to a rep for L'Atelier in the perfume section (he works at NM, but came over for the event). He mentioned - and I'm paraphrasing since I can't remember word for word - that rollerballs, while convenient, aren't ideal because eventually, the ball can pick oils, etc. from the skin and that can interfere with and alter the perfume. I agree that brands should offer spray versions. There have been many scents I wanted in a travel size but avoided because it was a rollerball and not a spray.

[COLOR=0000FF]   Don't blame you one bit.  People get crazy on the roads when it snows---those who are afraid and those who drive[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   like it's 80 degrees w/clear dry roads.   [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]I just got an Email w/a Chloe sample as a 100 point perk for VIBR---check it[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   out.[/COLOR]
I didn't even drive today. I hate driving. I have a license and a car and leave it behind 80% of the time. I'm talking purely about slipping & falling. Not here for it. If I fall, everyone falls because I'm not sharing that shame alone. Just not happening.
   :lmao: [COLOR=0000FF]I just had a visual of you trying to get the ball out to use the fragrance without it!![/COLOR]
:lol: I never considered that! *looks for old rollerballs*

If they offered spray versions I think they know it'll be a wrap for full sized bottles, well almost a wrap. It'll be less expensive for people obviously and with the convenience of a spray. I'd still buy the bottle because nothing beats looking over at the pretty bottle containing the fragrance I love. I'd still buy the little one to carry with me, though.

Thought I'd also post this here since it's a Sephora purchase---in case anyone else is interested.

Ok Vee--my initial impression. The cheek & Lip Glow is very liquid and on my hand, dries to a pretty coral stain. I like one-pass but I'm sure it's buildable.
It is minty upon application---not sure I want minty cheeks but the fragrance changed upon drying and it's a nice soft non-minty smell....sniff, sniff---Oh I like that a lot!!!
Having had YSL Baby Doll Kiss & Blush---6 actually, I'm not over the moon with this. Mind you, it is my first impression. I'll try it on tomorrow. I have MAC 'What Joy'
lipstick on and I'm not in the mood to scrub it off. I do think it will show on our lips and cheeks as a stain. I do like the way it dried on my hand. I'll probably use it just
on my cheeks. I use YSL just on my lips and never remember to also put it on my cheeks. Oh...almost forgot---the applicator is very weird to me...it's like a short fat
Q-Tip.

The Rouge Baume, like I suspected is somewhat sheer like the Chanel Rouge Coco Shines of old. The color is nice--reminds me of Pantone Marsala lipstick, which I happen to like.

Well, if you're willing to walk with me like a toddler, chances are I won't slip and I won't have to bring you down. :D

   [COLOR=0000FF]That's probably how we'd look----unless you wear me as dangling earrings!!![/COLOR]
:lol: The problem with people who walk with me is that they try to get away from me. See, if we stick together I'll feel secure. I haven't slipped in years and years, but I see people slip all the time. Saw someone today try to play it off. What's worse: actually falling or jerking around trying to save yourself from a fall? :lol:

Infinity had all basic shades Mel maybe thats why?? I really like the texture and color payoff! A few of them like the olive green and the plum looks really nice to me!!!
They're beautiful but I'm just not feeling them for some reason. Lol, I think I'm sick. :haha:

is there anything you need? Have you tried the audacious lippies yet?  The MUFE Shadows? Interested in TF Semisweet palette? 
Trying not to buy more lipies till I finish at least one lol! But the MUFE shadows sounds interesting, I need to check it out! I'm a very neutral and simple eye makeup kinda girl, any shades suggestions? Maybe I should get the chocolate bar first, I dun even own that lol
You hit the Lilly sale too huh? I spent a little...overall, I behaved
400
I did, right at 8am! I guess I was forced to behave lol, I bought two Elsa tops and a romper and I could not get back in to look at dresses, 40000 ppl ahead of me, so I gave up :(
