Megan, I'm bummed about it being a shimmer splash as well. I have 2 shimmer items, and I seldom use them. I still have shimmer Frozen Daquiri lotion that I hope to knock out during the wedding. Oh well...Twisted Peppermint is awesome anyway

Thanks for the scan. I can't wait to try the twisted peppermint splash, even if it is shimmer!

I bought one of the TP lip glosses last year, and used a couple of months afterwards, and it smelled and tasted kind of old (stale) to me. Anyone have that experience too? I probably won't be getting too much in TP this year, except for more HFOs if those will be available again. I don't see the HFO on the scan Megan provided for us, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I saw the mini 3-in-1's for Twisted Peppermint, Sugar & Spice, & Glittery Gumdrop today. Glittery Gumdrop: Tart & fruity; kinda reminds me of Juicy Fruit gum. It's decent, but I haven't decided if I want to purchase anything in this. Sugar & Spice: Smelled like Spicy Gingerbread added w/ butter rum.  I'll pass on this. I was kinda bummed that they didn't have DCM out yet b/c that was the one I wanted to smell the most.  I also hope that the Twisted Peppermint candle will smell better this year (last yr.'s version reminded me of dentist's gloves), otherwise I'll just get the HFO in this.

TP is available in HFO; I saw a bunch of it last night. I'll be grabbing a few of these soon; my manager said they sold out of it quite quickly last year and had trouble keeping it in stock. And while I wouldn't normally be a fan of a shimmer spray, the TP one is SO cute I'll have no choice but to buy it! I love the little peppermints in the bottom.

Fryl  I am glad that you get to get add to your stash of more TP oils this year.  The only one that I like this year so far is the Sugar & Spice. I bought a few of the GG 3in1s and they are okay, but I want to see how the lotions will be. The cherry pie was okay, but not fantastic to me. I just can't get into the TP body care at all, but I like the wallflowers and oil. I like the vanilla ice cream and the whipped cream too. My favorite Temptations is the Pumpkin Paradise and Cinnamon Bun and I have enough from last year.

I think Glittery Gumdrop smells like a combination of gummi bears and kool-aid. I bought the small 3in1 but that will probably be it. (maybe, maybe a lipgloss)
Temptations are being done in two waves this year. For The Perfect Christmas theme 11/5 we will have Twisted Peppermint, Glittery Gumdrop and Sugar and Spice. Then for The Perfect Christmas with a Twist theme 12/3 Twisted Peppermint will be the lead along with Dreamy Chocolate Mint and Sassy Strawberry Mint. I hope that means they are sending us a lot of Twisted Peppermint this year so we can actually set the 12/3 theme.

I have smelled the dreamy chocolate mint and it smells exactly like wickedly hot chocolate + twisted peppermint. I think it's definitely more chocolatey than pepperminty - but i think i like it.

I went to BBW today and they still didn't have the twisted peppermint spray out. He said they were in back. Aren't they supposed to be for sale already. Then I bought two room sprays in WVS and Vanilla Sandalwood and I forgot to use my free temptation coupon. Do you think there is any chance they'd let me go back tomorrow to get my free temptation. I have 5 bounce back coupons and I can't believe I forgot to use it!
