Sale News & IT Cosmetics Updated Reviews

  It is Labor Day weekend......and bye bye summer!!! :'(   Just kidding. I'm actually kind of relieved that summer is over. With all the changes that me & my family have experienced this year, the summer just flew by, really. To follow up with the All Love Potion Releases testing; the variants I ended up going full bottle on were: Love Potion: Flutterby, Love Potion: Incandescence, & Love Potion: Rouge. The runners-up were Love Potion: Ceremony, Love Potion: Blue, & Love Potion: Tropique, but that doesn't mean that I won't possess them in the future. If you forced me to pick my absolute favorite for the collection, it would have to be Incandescence.
 What can I say? The tangy gourmand notes in this one smell so delicious I get tempted to lick my arm when I'm wearing it, but since I'm smelling delicious cake all day I really don't feel like having any. Plus people are just NICE to me when I smell like this, just REALLY super helpful/friendly/generally pleasant to be around. 
 In more Love Potion Perfumerie news they put out an extensive one note collection; titled Sugared Layerables. Which is actually a revamped re-release of a discontinued line. I like what they decided to do for their label art, which was to include their forum community on the labels. Here's mine 
(Which is a picture from about 20 lbs ago, lol) Anyway, Mara does a wonderful job on the photoshop :)
 So far I've acquired Sugared Strawberry, which is a true Strawberry scent,but think along the lines of strawberry preserves. I, of course, need to get my hands on a bottle of Sugared Lotus, & Sugared Grapefruit.Also there's a huge Buy Some Get Some Free sale going on:  http://www.lovepotionperfume.com/
  Now, let's talk about IT Cosmetics. I have a love/hate relationship with this cosmetics line, but lately I find that a couple drawers in my 7 drawer cart of makeup & hair are being slowly, but surely taken over by products from this line. I think it's because their bronzers & highlighters just blend so easily & end up looking so natural. Plus they make these really great, & expensive, brushes that they just give away in their value kits on shopping channels. I still don't recommend their mascara, but they have upped their game with their cream-gel liners. I use them on my waterline & they don't budge. My Smashbox gel liner doesn't budge either, but IT Cosmetics makes a creamier, i.e. easier to apply version & you get twice the amount of product for the same price.
 I also took a picture of the bronzer with my flash on to show that there's absolutely 0% percent shimmer to this product. It's 100% percent matte, blends easily, & manages to have a satin finish. I have no idea how they do that; a matte, yet satin finish. Maybe they're wizards? IT Cosmetics is priced at the higher end, but they do offer free shipping over $25 on their site https://www.itcosmetics.com/
