'Weeeeeeeeeeeeeenies! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I got my paws on a bottle of Wet n Wild Tangled in My Web today AND when I came home, my BPAL decants from JenJenRebecca were in the mailbox! Decants, which were not covered in my BPAL 101 post, are a means whereby customers can try limited-edition scents without purchasing entire bottles.

The decantor or decantrix buys the bottles, then divides them into imps and ships them to the members of the decant circle who have prepaid and helped cover the cost of the bottle order. There are decant circles on the BPAL forum, on LiveJournal, and on the Swappers forum. I got my decants from JenJenRebecca, who is an amazing decantrix!

JJR divides up the "frimps" (free imps) that the Lab sends out with every package, and adds candy and other themed goodies into all of her decant packages.
