All of the reviews I've read have been like: CAKE, cotton candy, marshmallows, buttercream, butterscotch, funnel cake, etc. Everything a foodie lover would dream about. Alas. I sniff the bottle. What IS that? Cedar. I put it on. Cedar. After a few hours, the cedar fades a bit, but it's SO STRONG. It's like Madame Lapin went a little crazy with some dessert. My chemistry amps cedar to the point of headache and nausea. So sad.

CLX I got this from TrailerTrashPrincess. She said that it smelled like a cross between Cracker Jacks and Dorian. Here's my take on it: In the bottle: Creamy, caramel-y, foody goodness. I get that caramel popcorn description, I do. The pumpkin pie, not so much. No spice for me, just caramel corn. Wet: More toasted corn, less caramel. No caramel, really. It's more of a Corn Pops cereal smell. Sweet, corn-y, creamy. Still delicious, but a completely different sweet corn smell. Dry: Still sweet, still toasted, less corn. Hours later: It's still sweet, but now I can see where the Dorian reference is coming in. It's taken on this totally herbal-powdery quality, but now that pumpkin pie spice description is evident, too. It's hard to put my finger on. The Corn Pops is gone, but what's left behind is still nice. Overall: Starts off foody. Corn Pops. NOM. Dries a soft, powder-y, lightly spiced sweetness. It's nce. Total morpher.

These are abso-bloody-lutely PERFECT. Bravo.

No, no. I'm not going to bother them with an email. I've never ordered directly from the Lab so I can only go by what I'm seeing around me. I'm seeing orders large and small placed at the same time as mine getting CnS's left and right, so that's my only uncertainty. It's very possible that your suggestion of a certain bottle(s) holding it up, but seeing as I placed the order moments after the update and everything I ordered was from this update, that may or may not be the case. I'll just continue to watch how things progress. If the 14-21 days goes by and I haven't heard a word, maybe I'll send them an email then. I'm really not being impatient or complaining. I hope no one gets that vibe from me. I'm just comparing what/when/how I placed my order to other people with similar orders and wanted to know how the whole process worked.

A few weeks? WOW. I guess that is all well and good, and I'm normally semi-patient, but I couldn't help having a little case of curiosity-kills-the-cat when I see the most recent posts in the CnS thread look like this: Ordered: 8/5, CnS: 8/14, Shipped: 8/14 Ordered: 8/5, CnS: 8/17, Shipped: 8/18 Ordered: 8/5, CnS: 8/17, Shipped: 8/18 Ordered: 8/6, CnS: 8/17, Shipped: 8/18 Ordered: 8/5, CnS: 8/18, Shipped: 8/18 Ordered: 8/6, CnS: 8/17, Shipped: 8/17 Ordered: 8/5, CnS: 8/17, Shipped: 8/18 I know I should at least give it another few days before questioning it, but still... I can't help but be curious as to how it all works. What determines some people getting a CnS before others?

I have been in the BPAL community for a while, but I'm sad to say that I haven't placed my own Big Girl Lab Order until this Halloween release. :/ That being said, I'm kind of lost. I placed my order (7 bottles) on the 5th of August, my bank card has been since charged and it has come out of my account (last week!), and I am seeing CnS's for orders placed the same day and (I think) later, but I haven't heard anything. I went to the CCnow site and entered all of the info in so I could check on my order and this is what it said: Order History: 05 Aug 2009 - Received 11 Aug 2009 - Order Shipped There are plenty of people who ordered on the 5th who have already gotten a CnS as well as some that have received their orders. Halp?
