The Return of the MicroMatic Mammoth Monday Formation Flight
Mammoth Monday with a Flying Wing. I realised yesterday how I missed this little tradition that had its heyday in 2022. Hygge feels right for today, with sub-zero (°C) temperatures and snow falling. I'm adding warmth in vanilla form with Opulence and Tobacco Vanille. I've never smelled Parfums De Marly Layton, but I like the dupe in Opulence.
In today's #Talcening news, I overdid it with the talc and looked a bit clownish. Luckily an easy fix. But it feels smoooooooth!
Great photo!
I had planned to use Marilyn today, but changed it up when I saw your MMMMFF comments. I’ll be joining the formation I think.
Up the talc learning curve you go!
Thanks! They will look similar all week😅
I still haven't tried Marylin even though I have a smush of it. I'll have to remedy this deplorable state of affairs!
I bought a sample of Marilyn soap and could not get a vibe from it, but I liked the scent. I then bought the EdT and gives me more of that sense of a night out during the '60s. Now I wish I had purchased a tub. I assume that Will will release this again in the spring.
