    I still have 2 weeks more than you there in US, as we celebrate Mother’s Day on May 26th.
    From what is presented here, Prada powder looks glorious and Tokyo Milk sets seem lovely.

    I think I’ll stick with Prada Candy decant for my Mummy.

    Today I just grabbed samples of new edition of Marc Jacobs Rain, Hibiscus and Qumquat! Rain smells best for both of us, so we consider to buy & share it. This new edition 100ml EdT has a reasonable pricing, ~50$.

      I would love to have that Prada powder, although in all truth I’d probably use it only rarely.

        Already got mom something for mother’s day but her birthday is in June so that powder might be just the thing. She loves scented powders and they are harder to find than they used to be.

          Oh, I bet they are harder to find. It’s a tempting price, too.

    Does the Elton John candle really have a good scent? I mean I love rose and jasmine as candle but I really hated the Elton John Christmas candle…

      I’ve seen some nice reviews (here is one: http://thebeautyalchemist.blogspot.com/2012/03/sir-elton-johns-woodside-garden-candle.html) but I have not smelled it myself, sorry!
