Does anyone know if My Pretty Zombie historically does a Halloween Collection? (or Sale) It seems fitting, and I have been holding out on making my next Drugs Like Me blush purchases *just in case* haha.

Also, I actually felt claustrophobic going though my makeup collection for the first time. I now have 6 of those containers of 30 jars full of eyeshadow samples. That's 180 samples in oh, about 4 months....not counting full sizes and mini jars...And I have more coming in (probably enough to fill another 2 containers within the next month at least). I think I might be hitting the end of my "buy all the things" and more into the "buy special things" realm of Indie love. Does this mean I'm growing up? haha.

Maybe this just means its time to focus on blushes and lip products, yup, I think that's what this means. haha.

Yep! I was going to add some of the permanent collection stuff, but I figured I should space it out, and just get the permanent stuff all at once next time. I've only had a chance to briefly smell them, but so far stand outs are Calaverita (it smells just like Dia de los Muertos even though I'm not Mexican, and have never celebrated it ever), Helsing, Huntsman and Salem.

I'm jealous!  I was contemplating ordering all of the fall scents but decided against it.  Glad to hear you liked Huntsmant and Calaverita.   I had my eye on them but didn't get them this time so I'll get samples  with my next order.  I really love raven.  It reminds me of picking apples at the apple orchard!  It smells just like fall to me.  I also think wicked smells really nice but I love vanilla. I didn't get a sample with my order either.  When I was looking at feedback on the page I did see a comment about an included extra sample so I'm guessing she's given them out at one point.

Yeah I think she was giving out the fall samples with her first orders, before that collection actually went up for sale, but I guess she doesn't do that anymore? I don't know, maybe she hasn't even decided what she's doing for that yet, she just opened like a month ago, so we will see! But I mean her "samples" are like double the size of normal samples, so I understand why she didn't.

 
So today was a good day for indie deliveries...I received my i + ta mini subscription, my Hello Waffle order, and my Candii Blossom Cosmetics order! I'll try to add pictures tomorrow. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Was the Hello Waffle from the birthday sale? What did you get? I am still waiting on tracking for mine. I know I made a really large order, and I was not even close to the beginning of the orders, but it feels like forever! Hoping for tracking this week *crosses fingers*

It was from the birthday sale. I just ordered the Musicians Collection though, so none of her newer stuff... Hopefully you'll receive your order soon! :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
@@Kelly Silva @@chelsealynn I want to place an order with Sixteen92 but I'm confused. Can we request the fall scents in the 5-sample pack? Because I am not going to order the whole fall collection, there are only two I want to try, and only two from the permanent line (I'll just throw something else in there). So, I'm not going to order the sample pack if we can't, but I am not going to order all four full sizes, because they are a bit pricey so... you see my dilemma? :lol:

For those interested. Victorian Disco just posted this via Facebook

"Hey guys! Update and slight sale for the rest of our stock that's left over from the move. We're finishing up July and Danny already started on some August orders, I have a few repacks to send out that I was working on today as well as sending out more shipping notifications for all of the work we did over this weekend. I am so sorry about being behind on answering messages, I actually took the day off of work today (mostly because of a terrible migraine) but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I ended up doing a lot of work I didn't think I would be able to finish until Wednesday.

ANYWAYS, on to the fun stuff. I will be shutting down the site tomorrow evening for restock but the restock will not be put up until I am comfortable with the turnaround time and comfortable that we are caught up to at least a two week period. We had very little sales in all of August, so we will be finished with August in less than a few days, but I still have so much left over stock that's just sort of.. sitting there in the warehouse and new stock to be counted and put into the website. So, I am doing a small destock sale to get rid of the rest of this stock so we can start up next week with counting new stock and getting the site back to it's former "glory" so to say.

This sale is running from tonight, until tomorrow night at 8pm EST when I get off of my internship I am taking down the site and it will be down until we know what is going on. All the left over sales items that are left over will be put into little grab bags and put in a section of the shop.

SO SO SO SO - until right now, till 8pm EST tomorrow you can get whatever is left in stock for 60% off, which you use code DESTOCK for. And I'm sorry.. I cannot add on any colors for the sale that are not in stock This is just for whatever is left over on the site.

Thanks so much you guys, I am sorry once again for all of the delays the past few months and the lack of service on my part. I feel really bad for how much time this has come to take and everything will be back up and running soon before the end of the next week."

And I just made another order. Hard not too when a 36$ order is less than 15$ haha.

Update: The site is down now as of about 2 hours ago. She apparently had an extremely large order and sold out almost everything. She is planning a possible sale when she reopens.

Yes you can request fall scents in the sample packs.

Thank you!

Also wanted to put this in before I forgot andd fell asleep - I finally used the Hair Mist from Alchemic Muse. I don't use heat tools, so I don't know how well it works with those but for air drying it was quite nice. Worked well as a detangler and took about 20 minutes off my usual dry time. The scent was very light in my wet hair, and it had disappeared by the time it dried, so you don't need to worry about interfereing scents if you use this product. I actually refreshed the scent by spritzing my dry hair.

So, there you have it. If you are looking for an indie styling ist, you might like this one, but otherwise I don't know that it is a must-have. I enjoyed it, just for the time it saved air drying. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I have shipping on my Shiro order!  *Does happy custom lipgloss dance*

Also, I got my SugarSkull Minerals order and my CandiiBlossom Polish orders yesterday.  I have my dissertation defense tomorrow (eep!  Minor panic!), but once I'm done with that I'll be celebrating with awesome glitter eyes.

I am so sad because my HoG order had a perfume oil sample of Pumpkin Queen instead of Old Cider Haus.  Now I'm going to have to make an order blindly next restock, I really hope that scent is as good as everyone says.  I would also love if these were candles or something instead of/in addition to body products!

So I wanted to clarify, last night I just realized-- I got my sample of Old Cider Haus *and* the Pumpkin Queen sample was just a thoughtful extra.  I just didn't notice Old Cider Haus in the bottom of the baggie until last night.  Just in case anyone was negatively swayed by my inaccurate post.   But my other point still stands...how amazing would these be as candles!

Yeah, I'll second that! I did not like how Olde Cider Haus mixed with my chemistry, but it's delightful in a diffuser.

Perfume oil can be dumped onto water or unscented wax (I recommend wax because it's easier to clean up/change scents) in an oil burner for room scenting purposes! Or on a felt pad in one of those plug-in things from the Body Shop.

You are genius! I never thought to try that. Thanks!

 
Oh my goodness....for anyone else who is excited about the Winchester Gospels collection Friday from Notoriously Morbid, I am in absolute love with 'Walking on Sunshine" It wears even better than it looks in the sample bag! *sorry for the double post for those who follow the NM Crypt on FB but I have to share how beautiful this looks.* Outer 2/3ds of my lid are "Walking on Sunshine", inner is "Its not Raining in Here" and my liner is "Noble Rage" foiled. I have blended "Its not Raining in Here" up to brow as well. Lips are Lipcraft Cachtice (I am SO in love with this metallic red)
I will be throwing money at NM on Friday for a full sized Walking on Sunshine because it is just to die for with that beautiful blue/green shift and purple base! (The photos only slightly catch it but oh man, its beautiful) *top right photo obviously edited but others straight off the camera!*

Do you think this would work to make room sprays also?  I really wanted to get some of the oils to spray around the house and I found some recipes online that say you can add the oil to distilled water.  I might try it.
