Here's some HoG news...I think some of you will be disappointed, so I'll put it in a spoiler. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

On the bright side...perhaps the Yule collection will be as awesome as the Autumn collection?!?

Bummer, though now I don't feel so bad for going slightly overboard from what I had initially planned for.

 
It looks like my GDE package should be delivered today, yay! I'd be very surprised if I received the additional freebies, but you never know!

I also just ordered Madd Cats final monthly subscription...even though they're closing down their business, I feel like this will be a great way to see what they're all about.

 
I feel bad HoG is getting so many people complaining on their Facebook page. I understand being disappointed if you've relied on their email alerts in the past to notify you of new stock...but at the end of the day I feel like people should be happy for the company doing well instead of bitter about missing out on lotion or perfume.  In the few months I've been into indie products I've thought that sellouts and such are just part of the indie process...it happens.

I agree.  

 
I am a little bummed that I missed the HoG restock. I totally forgot all about it. I am glad that I at least got an order placed last week before they shut down the shop. I wanted to try The Horseman, but I am in no way lacking in the perfume department so no biggie!

Yeah, I mean 500 orders without an announcement...there would be a LOT more disappointed people if they gave out the details ahead of time and everything sold out in a few minutes.  I just assumed all the releases were at 2pm CT since the last one was, so that was when I checked and it was up.

@@Allison H mine is supposed to be delivered today too, can't wait to see if I got the Awkward surprise gwp, though I did not see anyone with a lower order number than me so I feel hopeful!!

 
they also spoke of it on their FB page too - they actually had a date there when someone asked about their 2nd release date.

 
I do sympathize with HoG regarding how difficult it is to deal with so many orders in such a little time and I understand why they wanted to keep the release low-key... but I think it was a little unfair to some of their long-term customers (who don't use facebook or stalk their facebook page or are not active in IMAM or here) who were relying on the newsletter to tell them about the restock (especially since HoG traditionally releases their newsletter before stuff gets put on the site). The restock date wasn't officially announced and the reason why I knew about the date and time was due to hearing about it here and on IMAM from people who looked through HoG's fb page for comments about when the restock would be. Since that was the final autumn restock, it's really unfortunate for people who rely on the newsletter to get communication from HoG. Hopefully HoG can find a way to make more products and fulfill more orders so more people can enjoy their products :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My low-buy is okay with the no-more-autumn-restocks, though :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I'm kind of glad there won't be another HoG restock. I'd be tempted to get more of something I probably don't need. I already have like 10 sample lotions of theirs, I don't really need more. I think the only product I'm sad I missed out on getting was the whipped soap, but I'm sure there will be another chance to get it in a scent that I like later.

Ugh this makes me sad. Am I bummed I am living a life without ghost puffs? Yes. Am I  going to complain to them about it and say it's not fair? No. It's lotion, this is hardly life or death.

 
Great choices! I have recently become obsessed with Black Violet. I have tried Morning Mango & Celebration from the ones you named and they're great but my FAVE is Bavarian Apfel Cider.. OOH MAN!! I have a body butter, perfume AND creme soap. My husband says he would swim in it if he could.

Leilani is a total sweetheart too. You made a great choice with her business! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ok, back to lurking!

Oh I resisted getting that one because I didn't want to get a full size of anything, but I might place an order now for that. Which version is your favorite? Perfume, body butter or creme soap?

 
The body butter but only because I have had that for a while. I just got the perfume and creme soap in on Saturday and haven't have a chance to try them yet.

I made another Black Violet order, and asked for this to be combined with my order from the anniversary. Grabbed body butters in Bavarian Apfel Cider, Snow White Tea, and a full size perfume in Komorebi after reading a review about it. Hopefully those all work out for me! Sad the creme soap was sold out, but that's ok. 

 
I have Snow White Tea body butter too and it smells great. More of a subtle scent to me but great! No idea about Komorebi.

I'm happy to say my GDE order arrived today, and it's perfection as always! I can't wait to play with everything, especially the blushes! I appreciate everyone's suggestions on applying indie blushes...I did order some vibrant colors! GDE haul below. ;)

I love Veteran, I'm not sure how I've missed this on GDE's site, but I think I'll need to purchase it soon! It's so beautiful (as are all of the other colors)! :)

My freebies! I'm surprised I actually received the Freebie Wednesday items, but I'm so happy I did!
