Impressions:

I'll do full reviews of these items but I thought I'd just write down my impressions since I didn't have time to work on any reviews today. Sorted by company, these are my current Spring lotions (I use some of my leftover Valentines at night but won't review those since they aren't available anymore)

Moonalisa:
~ Potion Lotion in Lavender & Herbs de Provence- love this at night, I prefer thicker body cremes but it moisturizes well, a more herbal lavender to my nose (maybe a hint of sage?)

~ Potion Lotion in Chocolate Almond Cake- Def chocolate cake, not sure about the almond part, might be in the drydown, Moonalisa's are the only chocolate note I like (I hate BPAL's)

~ Potion Lotion in  Lemon Sugar Cookie- absolutely delicious, need more quickly, more cookie than anything else

~ Chocolate Blood Orange Toad Massage Bar- the toad shape is so cute, the massage bar melts easily on contact, came in a tin wrapped in gold foil, scent is equal parts blood orange & chocolate, would reorder

~ Lavender & Amber Winter Rich Cream- lavender & baby powder!, very soft unlike the lavender & herbs lotion

~ Frangelico & Strawberry Jam Biscuits Winter Rich Cream- def get the strawberry jam biscuits, not sure about frangelico, def didn't feel like I got any almond, not my favorite scent

~ Amber Rose Winter Rich Cream- very light rose & baby powder (Moonalisa's amber note obviously turns to baby powder on me)- good for a light clean scent that disappears quickly, sometimes I need that when around people who don't like strong scents

~ Salome's Secret Winter Rich Cream- vanilla & amber scent, didn't like it at first but either it grew on me or it needed curing time, slightly sweet baby powder, another clean disappearing scent

~ Caramel Cocoa Winter Rich Cream- sweet chocolate! very delicious but I wished it lasted longer

Blooddrop:
~ Lady Slipper Flutter- flutter is a whipped body cream that melts very quickly on skin & leaves a slightly greasy film, I love it for night- Lady Slipper is the most perfect un-old-lady rose ever, very fresh & bright but grown-up

~ Peony & White Musk Flutter- very clean! the white musk is almost a bright linen or cotton note with the peony adding a very soft floral background, very slight floral, kinda smells like clean laundry

~ Lavender Honey Flutter- mmmm... delicious, soft sweet lavender, so perfect for bedtime (Blooddrop also sometimes has Tea & Honey Flutter between seasonal blends (it's white tea, blood orange & honey & is amazing, I used a whole tube very quickly!)

Haunt:
~ Courtesan Body Creme- have to do a fuller review, I honestly couldn't tell you what this smells like
