LynB Designs: Not Perky Perfume, capped at 50
Top notes- iris, pink peppercorn, vanilla orchid.
Heart notes- ambroxan, tonka absolute.
Base notes: skin musk, ambrette seeds, white woods.
For me, the scent is a clean yet dry and spicy vanilla. I'd categorize it as a white gold scent. Again, Jennalyn has wowed me with her talent of blending perfumes. I am totally in love with this one.

Polish Pickup March 2025: Under The Microscope

Available at Polish Pickup March 7, are the following body and nail products from LynB and KBShimmer.

xoxoJen's swatch of Polish Pickup March 2025: Under The Microscope


KBShimmer - A Real Ore Deal – 800 cap

Bornite is stunning to behold. Its rich hues of aqua, blue, purple, and gold all sparkle like rare jewels. Nicknamed Peacock Ore, this stone lives up to its colorful name. When magnified, it becomes even more enchanting, showing off iridescent colors and rich gold-toned flecks that inspired KBShimmer's March polish, A Real Ore Deal.

A Real Ore Deal is a teal to blue multichrome. In bright light, stunning gold-toned flakes accent a vibrant aqua-to-teal shade. Changes in angle and lighting bring forth true blue, navy, and purple hues, echoing the colors in Peacock Ore.

KBShimmer Blue Sage & Berry Hand & Body Scrub – 400 cap

If science itself had a scent, I imagine it would echo the traits of scientists and discoverers. The thirst for knowledge and the daring nature to experiment are represented by wild herb and fruit notes. The steadiness needed to work through a hypothesis is expressed by grounding earth scents. A hint of fresh air pays homage to the curiosity to explore the world around us. Yes, if science were a scent, I believe this one would be it.

Blue Sage & Berry Hand & Body Scrub is a freshly scented scrub that starts with notes of lush blackberry and wild sage. Rich and earthy notes of oakmoss and woody herbs add depth and complexity to this alluringly sweet fragrance. A creamy, sugar-filled base is accented with a blue swirl and a fun science-themed label. Use frequently to smooth and soften your skin.
