    Exclamation Orangerium

    Has anyone ordered sticks from this Etsy shop yet? OMG!!!! I just saw it today and apparently slipped into a coma from shock when I saw their stuff. When I woke up I had two new sticks on their way to me.

    Geez, and I had been so good for so long

    Woah, they're way out of my price range at this time, but all so stunning!

    Yes, I have! And, here's my report from elsewhere on the forum, that started here:

    And later that day, which was only last Friday:

    vampyyri, (great to see you back!) I dab a little bit of hair mask on my ends when my hair is damp after a wash as a leave-in, and a smear may work the same for frizzness business. My ends stay so soft and slippy (like silk), it's madness!
    Service is great, and so is the stick. Congrats on your purchases, too, lunasea! I think you'll be beyond pleased! Oh, and hayheadsbird also succumbed to a gorgeous floral arrangement shown in action here.

    ROTFLMAO! Too funny Crystawni, I should have known you’d find them first! You need to give me a call when these shops emerge.

    I was so excited, like you, when I first saw them, but wanted to test the waters first before any LHC-style recommendations. And we all know how fast things fly out of shops when LHC gets a whiff of the good stuff. We're sooooooooo bad! I will defs whisper your way when something else in hairtoy buying world gives me the oooooh sparkly vibe, though!

    I like the aesthetic, but they are too expensive (IMHO) for what it is even taking into consideration artistry and such. You all know I don't shy away from pricey toys, but I just feel they are more fairly priced in the $30 - $40 USD range.

    I can't deny they were pricey- especially with shipping. That said, I like them better than any other resin topped stick that I have seen. I love the melding of wood, resin, shells, and moss. Haven gotten my share of LIs and TTs, they do look to me like a stick that's kind of in the midway range between the two. We'll see when they come.
