a free online alternative to photoshop is Sumo Paint: http://www.sumo.fi/flash/sumopaint/index.php simply add a layer with a transparent background to your image with whatever text/image you'd like, and make the opacity a low percentage. =)

does anyone know when the label for Black Phoenix (the GC) stopped being unique? i ordered one a couple of months ago and received it in december, but it's just got a standard GC label. =( i was expecting this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/miss_twilight...57606847083605/

it'd be a bad idea to try to get a 5ml of each scent just for the artwork, wouldn't it? >.< (i already have 13 partial 5mls on their way to me, and decants for evaluation, i do not need anymore.....)

YAY!!!!!! *hugs* for beth. ^-^ also i'm glad there's more MV label photos, they're really really pretty. =) can't wait to get my giant order!!

the 13 label art is AWESOME! i'm glad i picked up a partial bottle, coz i'm keeping it even if the perfume doesn't work out. ^-^ also i'm really loving the xmas labels. i'm wondering though, why is pink snowballs so different? all the other xmas (non miskatonic) labels seem to have the same style, except pink snowballs. please tell me this isn't like the vampires with two different label styles for everything......>.<

last week i made a really big order (60 bottles, 50 imps, etc) and had to e-mail in the actual order after the paypal payment. i've been reading other people's comments on paypal, they usually get an e-mail confirming the order. should i e-mail? i don't want to be annoying, but i don't want it to be missed, either...=/

i was frimped this and i don't think i tried it before chucking it in my imp box. from the name, i just assumed it was a boozy scent i'd hate. well, i've been sorting, and i was preparing to choose a GC to add to my order, and randomly picked this up. i actually gasped when i sniffed it, because i couldn't believe i'd ignored something so amazing!!! sweet, smoky, mint. no bourbon at all, thankfully. kinda smells like a mint chocolate crackle, even though i know there's no chocolate listed. i love this so much, and i'm glad i was placing the order right after testing. =)

i like the new ones, i think they fit with the bottle colour much better. =)

don't send it as a gift. paypal does audit larger volume sellers (and i think BPAL falls into this category, they would have enough transactions to be a business for sure) and looks at the comments in the gift box. because you have to specifically mention what you're ordering, or that the order will follow via e-mail, it's clear as day that it's a commercial transaction. and the lab would be the one in trouble. they will have factored things like paypal and credit card fees into their price structure and budget. if you truly want to send them a gift, then send them a gift. (but i suspect that being the nice people that they are, they will ask you to donate to a charity or something instead!)

one word: miracle. it's not a cure, but it's the quickest relief to take the edge of a migraine or a headache i have ever found. i need a bottle of this, like yesterday. i actually find it a bit sweet, which is lovely. and cooling too. i decanted my imp into a little 1ml roller bottle, and use it to rub on my temples, works wonders. =)

wow, i kinda wish that the falling leaf moon tee had been the same colour as the bottle label - stunning. ^-^

i want to ask - what's the best way to contact beth and thank her? i'm new to BPAL, and i want to thank her for creating such amazing perfumes, it's seriously improved my quality of life. i know that sounds NUTS, but i have depression and other health problems that have severely come to the forefront this year, and without BPAL to make me smile i don't know what would have happened. also, i just tried my newly acquired GRR imp for my headache, and it works! i need to thank her. but i don't know whether to e-mail, PM, twitter, what? i don't want to be inappropriate or annoying. ^-^

any suggestions for BPAl similarities to BNever's Breath of God perfume? it was the only alcohol perfume i owned, and i sadly had to sell it because alcohol and my skin don't get along. =(
