Fragrance Mists and Body Mists Review

I tend to acquire decants and samples when I'm in a midst of a crash out (I'd buy actual perfumes whenever I'm in dire mental straits if my funds allow me but it does not!), so might as well put my quick thoughts about them. I'll try to update this list as I try new ones. Bath & Body Works ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ (I have repurchased these) Wild Honeysuckle - FANTASTIC! One of their more complex fragrances that I've tried. Honey right out of the gate. Smells briefly of kisses (type of aroma beads that was popular in the 90s).

I first saw the 1939 version many months ago, and I fell in love with it. It was dark, Cathy and Heathcliff were both very 'hateful', and yet I couldn't help pitying them both. Although many people say that a lot of things in the novel were omitted in the film, I really enjoyed watching it. I found myself crying at the end of the film. It was a good thing I was watching it by myself. I watched the 2009 TV version just last week. I haven't finished reading the book(I stopped at about a few chapters), so I don't know which version is closer to the novel, but Cathy and Heathcliff were much 'milder' in this version. Though I prefer the 1939 film, what I like about this version is it also featured the next generation of characters. It's still very good, though I didn't feel drawn into the story at about the first half of the series.
