    As much as I love Pleasures, I can justify spending $300 on anything right now.

      I hear you: that compact is a fantastic fantasy in so many ways. But do I like it? Yes. I’ve thought before that the EL perfume compacts are something that, if I ever bought one, I would want more. One thing that has stopped me is that I am very noticing of the smell of metal. I wonder if after a while, the perfume would interact with the alloy of the compact. So I’d need one in solid gold, LOL!

      They usually do a cheaper set of solids, but they usually aren’t as fun as the Monica Rich Kosann ones.

      Then again, I never look at these and think, wow, that’s worth $300!

    So odd that it got me to look up the products on the NM website. I kind of agree with MossyBerry that it and the others are fantastic fantasies. While I cannot ever imagine purchasing one, I have to say that the world might just be a better place for their existence.

      It’s a fun series this time. I would love to know how many they make of each…it’s hard to imagine any huge market for these.
