Brand new love: iMomoko


Let me start off by prefacing that I bought something from iMomoko.com today because of Fuzkittie.


I've been busy with summer session at my uni and I had planned on my next few posts to be about Fresh products. Brand Loyalty anyone? However, as I'm in the middle of baking cookies and salt caramels, I have to write this post. iMomoko has wonderful customer service!


Within a few minutes of sending an inquiry on whether or not AMEX is accepted (the footer says it is), a reply was sent clarifying that AMEX is accepted but only through paypal. And paypal woes begin once more. As soon as I sign in it asks me to update an old credit card. I cancelled and next thing I know I'm taken to the "Thank you for the purchase" page. Apparently paypal took it out from a spare bank account. Translation: not enough funds and I don't want to be slapped with a $40 overdraft fee.


A quick inquiry to iMomoko, and BAM! as Emeril Lagasse would say. My order was cancelled and I went ahead to re-order this time with AMEX (after I added it to paypal). I'm very excited about my minature haul.

Why I'm in love with iMomoko now:
  • Excellent customer service
  • Free shipping over orders of $50
  • Wonderful brands, reasonable prices and a partridge in a pear tree
  • Betty is amazing. Crotchfairy's a fan
In addition to Fresh reviews, I also have one planned for... Sisley's Emulsion Ecologique

Phaidon Press has nothing on these scintillating sensations



Admittedly, I'm a fan of PP because of their packaging, but that's neither here nor there.

Reviews to come:
Fresh's Sake
Fresh's Sugar Lemon
Fresh's Sugar Lychee
Fresh's Cannabis Santal
Fresh's Citron de Vigne
Tom Ford's Black Orchid
Tom Ford's Black Orchid Voile de Fleur

Fresh's Rose Face Mask
Fresh's Umbrian Clay Face Treatment
Fresh's Sugar Lemon Body Lotion
Fresh's Sugar Lemon Bath & Shower Gel
Fresh's Appleseed Brightening Exfoliant

Eventually I will break down and buy D&G's Light Blue.

Lush's Jungle (Application is messy, I'd rather wear it as a perfume)
Lush's Demon in the Dark

Fresh makes marvelous and usually unique scents but staying power is about zilch on my skin.
