LynB Designs x xoxo, Jen: Perfume Trio

I am very excited to introduce this perfume trio, designed by yours truly and crafted by LynB Designs! I decided to focus on a few of my favorite single scent notes: Lavender, Lemon, Amber, and Marshmallow (whipped cream note in this trio).

Each of the first three notes are combined with the fourth, creating a cohesive and layerable collection of fragrance. Each fragrance represents three different seasons as well, spring, summer, and winter. And because I was feeling fancy and my partner is French, I gave them French inspired names. They launch at Polish & Beauty Expo next weekend and will be available at the LynB website August 8. Please enjoy!

Custom front labels - Jennalyn surprised me with this Art Deco style label that included my blog name. I absolutely love it!

Lavende Embrasser - Top Notes: Whipped Cream, Lavender
Mid Notes: Caramel, Benzoin
Base Notes: White Musk, Tonka
Lavender makes me so happy and calm, almost euphoric! Lavender reminds me of spring when flowers begin to bloom and all the baby animals are seeing the world for the first time. I made sure the lavender note in this perfume was more chocolatey, less of a floral and not heady or sharp. Jennalyn did a fantastic job of sourcing the lavender and blending it with the other notes. I could live in a "Lavender Embrace" forever.

Citron Soleil - Top Notes: Whipped Cream, Lemon
Mid Notes: Caramel, Benzoin
Base Notes: White Musk, Tonka
Who doesn't love a sunny lemony fragrance? I chose lemon because it is bright and cheerful, perfect for summer time. I wanted a soft lemon rather than astringent and LynB was able to find just that. The result is the perfect lemon meringue style blend so you can have summertime all day!

Ambre de la Lune - Top Notes: Whipped Cream, Sugar
Mid Notes: Caramel, Benzoin
Base Notes: White Musk, Amber
Oh Amber, how sticky and resinous art thou! One of my favorite base notes for just about any perfume! The amber base here amplifies the sweet cream and caramel notes like the most sugary holiday dessert. For its name, I chose the moon because I typically choose to wear amber heavy scents in the cool winter evenings, all snuggled up by a fire with a hot drink. The fragrance feels like home and comfort.

KBShimmer: Midway Collection

As the summer days roll by and the Fourth of July becomes just a memory, there’s still one more event we eagerly await: the fair and its midway! The midway tempts attendees with treats like lemon shake-ups and cotton candy, while we visit ticket booths to load up on chances to win prizes. This summer, join KBShimmer as they head to the fair with a seven- piece collection celebrating everything the fair’s midway has to offer. Launches July 20th at Polish & Beauty Expo and online at KBShimmer July 23rd, 2025.

Bump Up The Volume - a cornflower blue base loaded with color-shifting shimmer that moves from green to teal and aqua. At some angles, flashes of indigo and purple appear. In the last photo it is topped with other polishes from the collection.

Ferris One Of All - A raspberry-colored jelly filled with vibrant flakes in shades of gold, indigo, crimson, green, copper, and pink. Depending on the angle and lighting, you may also catch hints of purple, aqua, and blue.

Give It A Whirl - The red-raspberry base glows with a strong blue shimmer. When used with a horseshoe magnet, a soft pink velvet pull pops against the raspberry for a stunning summer look. With a traditional magnet, the shimmer shifts the base to a richer grape hue. Shown both ways, and without magnetization in the last few photos. Such a beautiful and flexible shade for multiple looks.

Glow Getter - a neon green glow-in-the-dark nail polish which is also UV-reactive. It is packed with crystal chameleon flakes that flash lime, lemon yellow, aqua, peach, green, and even purple. The glow is shown charged with both a UV blacklight, a regular desk lamp and lit with a UV blacklight.

Shake It Up - a sparkling addition to KBShimmer's Mega Flame line of holographic glitter polishes. Silver holo glitters swim in a lemon-yellow jelly base, catching the light for unbelievable sparkle. In low light, the polish leans chartreuse.

Spun-believable - a radiant pink that captures the spirit of cotton candy. It starts with hints of peach and gold and shifts to fuchsia and raspberry, revealing lavender and periwinkle at various angles.

Lemon Shake Up Hand & Body Scrub smells like a luscious summertime treat. The fragrance opens with tart, freshly squeezed lemons and is sweetened by sun-kissed raspberries. The soft yellow sugar base is swirled with lime green, creating a summery delight for your skin.
