A combined shipment from Stirling and Barrister and Mann arrived today. From Stirling, I finally got my replacement Varen tub (and added the frag) and got a tub of Mountain man to replace my soon-to-be-killed sample of it.

Braeburn was pointed out to me as a possible alternative to SBS Teacher's Pet (now sadly UnObTaInIuM) and it was a great tip. Dickens is a replacement from balm that has... not aged well, and Beaudelaire was on discount and I certainly can't resist trying a Fougère with Mousse de Saxe. Especially not if this is how Will describes it:

*Beaudelaire: A proprietary fougère that incorporates my recreation of Mousse de Saxe. [...] I describe it as the perfume Oscar Wilde would have worn. Rich, creamy, bright at the top, leathery and dirty at the bottom.*

edit: I just only now realised that Beaudelaire the frag isn't spelled like the Baudelaire the author.

All around great hauls! I myself really cherish the graphics chosen for Beaudelaire 💀🕶️ Also congrats on the new brushes... you should have a brush for every occasion now 😉

I thought so 20 brushes ago, yet I'm still finding brushless occasions
