Some of the items will NOT be returning once they sell out, so if you have a favorite, please don't hesitate to message me & ask if I have more than one on hand if you'd like to stock up. <br />
<br />
As of yet, the items that will be hitting the "chopping block" have not been fully determined. Here's a bit of a run-down:<br />
<br />
I'd suspect that the Room & Linen Refresher sprays will get tucked away & possibly come out only around the holidays as limited edition items only available for a few weeks out of the year. <br />
<br />
Likely the same with the sugar scrubs. <br />
<br />
I haven't decided for sure if I'll be keeping the lotion and body frosting stocked or not. If I do, it will most likely end up being only one of the two that survive the axe. My personal favorite is our lotion... so I'm leaning that way, but not entirely decided. I may even change up our formula - I've been testing and tweaking on a Goat Milk & Honey body creme that is just lovely and it may replace both our lotion and the body frosting as a stand alone product. We'll see.<br />
<br />
As of right now, the bath salts will stay because they've sold well & have had fabulous feedback. <br />
<br />
The lip balms are NOT going anywhere, as I'm a certifiable lip balm snob, picky picky picky, and in my humble opinion I've never slicked on a better feeling, better tasting, or better quality lip balm than ours. It has it all - lovely shine, no gloppy, waxy, tacky, gritty, or gooey feel to it & our flavors are amazing. They WILL have new packaging, however - new black oval lip balm tubes rather than the round. Also, our labeling will change a bit as well. Our lip balms continue to get rave reviews... and a quickly rising star is our line of lip tints, which will likely be expanding not only in colors, but also will be available in gloss form in the lip tubes with wands.<br />
<br />
The wax tarts for your Scentsy & Scentsy-type wax melters are still a toss up as to whether they'll stay or not. We have some amazing scents, but the tarts just haven't moved well in the online shop. I may try different packaging for them & see if that helps jumpstart sales. Most likely they'll be axed. I HAVE been making some small (about 7.5oz) double wicked candles in some really cute little tureen jars that I've only offered locally up to this point, and they've gotten great reviews... they may make an appearance in the shop to see how they go. <br />
<br />
After the sale concludes, I'll be shutting the shop down for an indeterminate amount of time to regroup, refocus, and get some new ideas rolling out. When I do return, the focus will be predominately on solid perfumes and perfume oil blends... one of my favorite aspects of this entire venture is the creation of new fragrances. I've had several people approach me about creating custom scents for them, and so far I've been able to fit the bill well for them and it's been a lot of fun. Some of my very first creations that I offered up in the shop were some of my custom perfume oils that got rave reviews & grew in popularity, but somehow I've gotten sidetracked with other products and I just want to shift back to what my original focus was to begin with - smellies! Perfumery has fascinated me for as long as I can remember, and while I've dabbled at it for the past few years, I really want to dive in & study it more & shift my focus that direction.<br />
<br />
I've also spent a ton of time searching high & low for just the right packaging for the perfume oils and solid perfumes - and let me tell you, it's not easy to find the kind of bottles & containers I have in mind! Sheesh! <br />
<br />
Thank you to all the wonderful customers who have bought from us & the many customers who continue to return... we appreciate all of you very much, and I hope that you are as excited about our new line-up when it's revealed as I am.

I'm closing the shop down from December 22nd - January 2nd in order to take a much-needed break & to spend some time with my family. If you've placed an order, it HAS shipped unless you have been notified otherwise. <br />
<br />
I'm taking some time to re-focus, work on some re-branding & putting some fun new updates into effect after the first of the year. I plan to streamline a bit & will be focusing predominately on handmade perfume oils, solid perfumes, lip balms & lip tints. Other bath & body products will be offered on a much more limited basis. My life overfloweth with projects and it's time to take a step back and regroup.<br />
<br />
If you have a question regarding the status of an order, I ship all my packages via PayPal shipping/tracking, so you can always log into your PayPal account, locate the transaction & click the "Track" button for the latest update on your package from the USPS. I ship via Priority Mail, except in the case of small items such as perfumes & lip balms, in which case they ship by First Class Mail with delivery confirmation.<br />
<br />
Please be aware that due to the heavy volume of packages at this time of year, it seems that the USPS is either lax in scanning packages or they are running way behind on scan times. I assure you, if you've placed an order it HAS shipped unless I've notified you otherwise or unless you & I have discussed directly that it will ship AFTER this week.<br />
<br />
There are a few local orders that will be delivered today & tomorrow - if you're reading this, you know who you are. :-) <br />
<br />
Also, feel free to contact me directly at MidnightGypsyLuxe@gmail.com. I'll be checking in there probably once or twice a day.<br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />

Here are the latest goodies to hit the Midnight Gypsy Luxe shelves...<br />
<br />
Ultra-sheer, shimmering mineral lip tints. Made with the same amazing formula we use for our wildly popular lip balms - skin softening oils like avocado & sweet almond, along with nourishing coconut oil and lanolin for the ultimate in soothing moisture. No waxy, gloppy, grainy or sticky feel to our tints...they just glide on beautifully and leave behind a silky hint of shimmering color!<br />
<br />
These leave behind a subtle shimmer while imparting spectacular sheen with no heavy "glitter" look. I love lipstick.... in theory. Unfortunately, when I wear lipstick, I feel like "Hey! Here come Tina's lips!"... That's why I love these lip tints - they are mistake-proof and give you a healthy looking glow.<br />
<br />
<br />
They are available in four different shades -<br />
<br />
<i><u><b>Sylph</b></u> - A pale pink, silver & gold shimmer that imparts a gorgeous, healthy glow to the lips. Uber-sheer.</i><br />

<br />
<br />
We've also added bath salts to our product line-up... Our Satin Bathing Salts are a therapeutic blend of solar sea salt & epsom salts drizzled with our proprietary blend of five lightweight skin-nourishing oils for a shot of moisture. They are HIGHLY fragranced. I love bath salts, but I have absolutely hated it in the past when I would purchase them & find that when I actually add them to the bath I cannot smell them. For me, that's part of the whole reason for bathing salts - aside from their therapeutic benefits, I believe the aromatherapy benefits are important as well. That's why I decided when I started making these that they would be highly fragranced.<br />

<br />
<i><u><b>Paradise Found...</b></u> Creamy tahitian vanilla, island citrus, and lush coconut. This is THE perfect tropical blend and is one of our best sellers in every single product we fragrance with it. This is perfect for your favorite beach comber! :-)</i><br />

<i><u><b>Pull of The Tides..</b></u>. An undertow of fresh, crisp aquatic notes. A walk along the shore beneath the full moon, a whisper of seaspray upon your skin. This is a clean spa-like scent, never overpowering</i>.<br />
<br />
<i><u><b>Boudoir...</b></u> A sensual blend of buttery french vanilla and golden amber over a base of mysterious woods make for an addicting, decadent scent that you just can't stop inhaling.

Seals that slip their skin and walk upon the land in human form. <br />
<br />
"As soon as the seal was clear of the water, <br />
It reared up and its skin slipped down to the sand."<br />
~ George Mackay Brown, from "Pictures In The Cave"<br />
<br />
What is the scent of a Selkie? Well, to me, it must be one of mist and mystery, sea and sand, earth and sky - So I've brought together a beautiful bouquet of violet, lotus, rose, & waterlily, grounded it with a base of soft white musk, and finished it off with the clean scent of a rain-laden sky. Completely unisex, a bit on the sweet side, heady, and very fragrant. <br />
<br />
I started this soap with a PREMIUM soap base that contains 5% unrefined hemp seed oil, and have added my own special blend of liquid silk and clay for a wonderful slip, as well as a generous addition of Sweet Almond oil for its skin-loving properties. The slip from the silk and clay make this an excellent shaving soap, and the Sweet Almond oil adds extra moisture. Absolutely no skin-stripping surfactants or detergents!

Candlelight, decadent scents, luxurious soaps & scrubs to pamper your parts in the tub, and finally, a rich body butter to moisturize your parts when you step out of the bath. Ahhhhhhhhh.... pure bliss & the perfect escape from the hectic day. I think a nice long bath may be on the agenda for this evening. ;-)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Mclovebuddy">Mclovebuddy</a> on Etsy was kind enough to include my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/60243334/milan-luxury-goat-milk-soap-with-coffee">Milan Luxury Goat Milk Soap</a> in the gorgeous <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4cd7566e98af8eeffd047e1c/calming-winter-bath">"Calming Winter Bath"</a> treasury.

I love it, always have. My husband always says he hates this time of year because everything is dying, but I've never viewed autumn that way.<br />
<br />
To me, autumn is vibrant, glowing, and full of life. The changing of leaves from bright green to vivid golds and reds just awakens something in me. The air is crisp in the mornings and in the evenings, and is somehow sweeter. The smell of the earth, the dried grass & leaves fills me with a sense of peace. The obvious turning over of each season has always stirred me, it's like a fresh start somehow. And with that fresh start seems to always come the desire to start new projects, which brings me to the "What's New?" part of this post. <br />
<br />
I just finished up my first batch of soap, and to be honest, I'm thoroughly pleased with the results... so far. LOL! It's a goat's milk and glycerine blend, and I'm very hopeful that once I unmold it and begin slicing it it will be as beautiful as I think it will. I scented it with my "Winter Hearth" fragrance blend - a dusting of fragrant spices over fresh pumpkin and steaming black tea. This is an AMAZING pumpkin scent. Not a foody or bakery type scent, but rather true, ripe, rich pumpkin flesh dusted with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, & cloves... and a hint of crisp black tea in the background. This scent always conjures in my mind an image of a crackling fire within a massive stone hearth in the kitchen, a butcher block table strewn with all of autumn's bounty and a steaming cup of black tea sitting nearby. Perfection.<br />
<br />
I colored the glycerine with deep russet mica and ruby & bronze shimmer, and swirled in the white goat's milk... the perfect autumn and winter colors in my opinion. Here are a few pictures - all in all I didn't think it was too shabby for a first go-round!<br />

I've been so busy with orders and new scent & product development that I haven't had much time to sit down here and share! I decided to change that this morning.<br />
<br />
I've been keeping my eyes peeled for the oval lip balm tubes for some time. I could find them in white and clear, but I wanted BLACK. Well, I FINALLY found them... and here they are, in a lovely black satin finish modeling three new lip balm flavors - one of which is a limited edition for the upcoming holiday season. <br />

This is a limited edition flavor that will only be available through October & November. Grab it while you can! <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRg-r9A8oQbMi5N6_uxcq_nCIqpQr0T1zhqCkYX7UjOeVzJy_d-Ms2shf8t6EFO_ZvorTS-nolB3FI4iK3CfBBVZTjZM7_3c8ptz0X488CN_Alf5PnkHXtjmf-xoiSBuYiZGooL2HfYczj/s1600/PICT0015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRg-r9A8oQbMi5N6_uxcq_nCIqpQr0T1zhqCkYX7UjOeVzJy_d-Ms2shf8t6EFO_ZvorTS-nolB3FI4iK3CfBBVZTjZM7_3c8ptz0X488CN_Alf5PnkHXtjmf-xoiSBuYiZGooL2HfYczj/s320/PICT0015.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Creamy french vanilla paired with plump, juicy orange. Vanilla orange dream, indeed! This flavor came about because I had a customer request a Dreamsicle type flavor. I think it turned out rather yummy! Smells divine, but the flavor is not overpowering in the least. <br />
<br />
<br />
And now... the next exciting addition to our line... We've switched from 5ml screw-cap glass bottles for our perfume oil blends to 8ml frosted emerald green glass roller bottles. These are perfect for tossing in your purse or slipping in the back pocket of your jeans for touch-ups with no worry of spills. They are GORGEOUS. Along with these beautiful new bottles, I've added a couple of new fragrance blends to our line up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTVLa7phi7QWkplLKAX9uO3ANSYM3JBw-K01R2gQCIkEsN1im_lJC7AhlVQ70HItqTcXcPeift186SqE5Q1zL9Bfev8ycXxZIVodgdcxqSgLoRGbgiwY7_T5b_nZT9zlZIbJ9Q4ygVlRy-/s1600/PICT0004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTVLa7phi7QWkplLKAX9uO3ANSYM3JBw-K01R2gQCIkEsN1im_lJC7AhlVQ70HItqTcXcPeift186SqE5Q1zL9Bfev8ycXxZIVodgdcxqSgLoRGbgiwY7_T5b_nZT9zlZIbJ9Q4ygVlRy-/s320/PICT0004.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Terre Exotique is an exotic blend of vanilla musk, rose, and blondewood wrapped up in a velvety cocoon of eastern spices, with a slap of warm leather across it's backside just for good measure. Rawwrrr! This is a fragrance for the woman who likes an edge to her signature scent... not for the faint of heart. Uber warm...Uber spicy...Uber sexy. If you're a fan of rich, exotic floral oriental type fragrances, you'll love this blend. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhueRVnw1FC84Fh9Bz1uESqKsXWmLme6z6Z3Fiz9RNRTVhpxtZseZB4X7_rFbQ_p-NbEucaYDncss9PWaIXBA3AWwkkpBzdjkdgkMb-QGsTAwF_OHI2cOgqVSf9BqhsBir11fbr9nieFo0/s1600/PICT0010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhueRVnw1FC84Fh9Bz1uESqKsXWmLme6z6Z3Fiz9RNRTVhpxtZseZB4X7_rFbQ_p-NbEucaYDncss9PWaIXBA3AWwkkpBzdjkdgkMb-QGsTAwF_OHI2cOgqVSf9BqhsBir11fbr9nieFo0/s320/PICT0010.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Fleur Orange is sweet and citrusy with creamy floral undertones and just a hint of rich earthiness in the background. This has quickly become not only a personal favorite, but a customer favorite as well. <br />
<br />
You can view our entire perfume oil selection by visiting the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MidnightGypsyLuxe?section_id=6742437">Perfume Oils</a> section in the shop. We are currently clearancing out our 5ml screw-cap bottles, so they are listed with an unbeatable sale-price. They won't last long. <br />
<br />
I've also added a new fragrance to our lotion line-up, Seraphim. It's a blend of rich, creamy french vanilla, soft florals and sweet musk. It started out as a custom request for a client as a surprise for his wife... and it turned out DE-LISH. It's sweet, decadent, almost caramel-like... with a soft musk finish. Photos and a listing in the shop are coming soon.<br />
<br />
Also coming soon... just in time for the upcoming holidays, I'll be adding a line of hand-poured goat's milk and glycerine soaps. Can't wait to show them to you!<br />

She has some GORGEOUS handbags listed now, with more items coming soon. <br />
<br />
I am personally crushing on her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42711910">red Cerruti bag</a>. Wowza!<br />
<br />

Purely Pomegranate (made with an all-natural pomegranate flavor oil), Lavender & Peppermint, and Creamy Vanilla Chai.<br />
<br />
Our lip balms are made with skin softening oils like avocado and sweet almond, along with nourishing coconut oil and lanolin for the ultimate in soothing moisture. No waxy, gloppy, or sticky feel to this balm...it just glides on beautifully with a silky hint of shine!<br />
<br />
They come in a .25 oz slide-top metal tin. And coming soon.... we'll have lip balms available in gorgeous amber tubes that match the rest of our packaging!<br />
<br />
We'll also be adding body oil sprays to the shop today in:<br />
<br />
Boudoir ~ French Vanilla, Amber, & Mysterious Woods<br />
<br />
Decadence ~ Brown Sugar, Fig, Amber, & Coconut<br />
<br />
Spellbound ~ Light Summer Fruits, Citrus, & Delicate Florals...a spot-on dupe for VS's Lovespell according to many of our clients!<br />
<br />
Paradise Found ~ Creamy Tahitian Vanilla<br />
<br />
Persephone ~ Juicy Ripe Pomegranate<br />
<br />
Our body oil sprays are a blend of five pharmaceutical grade oils that sink right in to leave your skin deliciously scented, softened, & pampered with no overwhelmingly greasy after-feel. Comprised of a delicate blend of sesame, rice bran, jojoba, apricot kernal, & sweet almond oils, we're sure you'll love them every bit as much as we do!<br />

I also plan to have our body oil sprays up this week, as well as our <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42004492">Creamy Milk Bath</a>, so keep checking back in at our storefront at Etsy by clicking here: <a href="http://www.midnightgypsyluxe.etsy.com/">Midnight Gypsy Luxe.</a><br /><br />We also have two new perfume oil blend offerings this week...<br /><br />In Greek mythology, the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41833562">Hesperides</a> are the evening nymphs who inhabit the lush garden in the Arcadian Mountains that is home to the tree that bears Hera's golden apples. This is my personal interpretation of them. It's a not-so-innocent blend of honeysuckle, sweet pea, and apple enveloped in a rich base of amber, vanilla, & cedarwood. I've rounded it out with subtle nuances of sandalwood, champa flowers and violet delicately blended with ylang ylang, patchouli and musk. This has been a hit with local retail clients.<br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444097109207385522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihd6MpySpYni6fXxNysiChgoPKYOHtWDCo_egU8X7iqqKJO0XR8vjn4-lS6Mo8137e6o5XaS05Va2AHEOSEpAVoNGBuRGWUAUWtF7FsJtWMlnDiG-k8gPtBfWgndg9AvCXbuM8UdSxkzyB/s320/Perfume+Oils+049.jpg" /><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41972916">Southern Comfort</a> is a bright, stunning blend of ripe juicy peaches and honeysuckle with a base of amber and musk. Rounding it all out is a to-die-for blend of moss, olibanum, galbanum, & yucca. The green notes in this blend give it a clean, soothing finish that make it a perfect fragrance for spring & summer. </p><p></p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444791686665208994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzAihCp08vtRfp5eczBnl60EadFguW4yyaFbguhuIHF41w1cDTI4LTclY_Dss4ONKuM7C_RGgegA0_1SZU4Q2GWejtx0tzdVb6R1Nwy-385sX7X1NbLjZs_2eBi_aDMWwg_saCBQCb3fBC/s320/Perfume+Oils+059.jpg" /><br /></p><p>Why "Southern Comfort" you ask? Juicy peaches and honeysuckle will always make me think of growing up in the south. A first kiss on the river bank, the moss hanging from the live oaks and that fresh, earthy smell in the air after a rain are stuck in my head forever. </p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p>MidnightGypsyLuxehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01087194831040688556noreply@blogger.com0
