Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[marigoldsue]

I just got a shipping email for my Victorian Disco order from September 15th. Unexpected.

I have seen a couple people say they got orders placed in September already.  Meanwhile, I see people with orders going back to May that are STILL waiting.  In fact one of the September orders that was delivered, they had told her they would send it with her order from May.  She got the Sept order, but May was not with it.  Of course dear Danny got referenced in the response....  I wonder if theri even is a "Danny" or if that is the imaginary friend that gets the blame for everything that goes wrong.  Oops, my not so nice, cynical side is showing.

Hang tight and stay strong, because your Black Violet order just shipped (and refunded some shipping-check your email)!!  

I'm new to CP so I don't know this for sure, but it seems like there's a lot of stock in the sampler set.  The last one is still available for sale too.  Other than that, there's no special deals for ordering so you can always think about it for a bit, if you want.  I'm not sure if she ever does promos or anything like that.  I looked around at blog posts and it seems she frequently refunds shipping overages and also includes pretty nice sized samples, which is cool.  I'm thinking there will be more holiday scents added later though, but that's just an assumption?

I'm not really into Halloween things either and so far I don't plan to purchase any of the releases/spoilers I've seen, so I guess that was my justification for spending $150+ on indie body products in the last week lol!  I will probably just sit back and watch everyone's hauls coming in this month  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

haha.  Thanks.  I would have let you keep the $1 for your help with this order

As for CP, other than the Sampler, I just have samples of some other scents I want to try in my basket and a different hair product that seems like it might be good for me.  I don't like to go too far with scents until I now if I will like them.  But when I am paying shipping, I like to make it get all the things I want to try out of the way at once, instead of making multiple orders over time and paying multiple shipping fees.  Somehow I think this saves me money in the end.

@@BSquared Mine says completed, another reason why this is all a bunch of crap!

@@marigoldsue holy crap, May??!! I'm so jumping ship from this crazy train.  I wish I would've done more research and looked on the FB page and all that first.  Only 15 hours left of my 24 notice that I would dispute.  I will probably just start the dispute tonight anyway since it's not like it will magically get scanned in the middle of the night.  I'm wondering if she has no stock made up and is ordering the ingredients as the orders come in or something.  So over it.

Can someone please remind me (or even just post in this thread) when the Catssic Literature collection is released?  I have been SO GOOD on my low-buy for the past two months that I've decided I *deserve* several shadows from this collection as a reward.  And also probably "Heavy Breathing Cat" because YAY CATS!!!

(I really wish/hope she does the lip colors too eventually.  Y'all have no idea how badly I want Jane Pawsten!!!!!)

It's tentatively set for October 17th

@@Allison H Awesome choices!!! You will have to let me know what you think of Mexican Hot Cocoa, Bonfire Pumpkins and Country Kitchen, those are on my list for next time. I didn't realize you get a discount if you do 6 perfume vials, that's a really great way to try a bunch of scents!

So exciting that by the end of the week I'll have HoG and CP goodies /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I think I might leave early today just to get home to my ghost puffs and s'mores :smilehappyyes:

In other rant-y news:

Spoiler

Now Ashley from VD says "if it doesn't [update] I'll try and get my money back and refund you"

Um what? Your money? I paid for my own shipping. 8 mailing days and it's not in my state yet, means it wasn't shipped, I'm not an idiot. Mind you, this is the 3rd time she has now told me she would refund me and has not. I told her this morning that if it still hasn't updated and I don't have a refund in the next 24 hours I will file a Paypal dispute.

Has anyone here at all had their tracking move from label created??

I'll be sure to let you know what I think about them!

For those holding out on backing the Espionage Kickstarter until the add-on cost of additional wraps was calculated and announced, it's here, and it's $8!

Christine has said their will be lip products in this release.  I don't know if it is all or some of the planned ones though.

 

[marigoldsue]

Wow.  It is going to feel like Christmas at my house tomorrow into early next week.  A very special cram packed package of indie goodies is suppose to arrive tomorrow.  My Black Violet and Haus of Gloi shipped today.  And I will have a Glamour Doll Eyes order shipping today or tomorrow.  I have to do some serious reorganizing and get myself some new storage over the weekend.

YESSSSSSS

I'm trying so hard to pare down what I want.  And I'm trying to match up the "inspiration" shade to the real-life swatches.  Did Portrait of Purrian Grey get switched to the Lavender shade (4th from left on the 10-swatch shot)?  I can't find a gray/gold color (the original inspiration).  They're not labeled, so here's my guesses (left -> right on the 10-swatch shot) and what I want!

Call Me Ishmeow (maybe)

Catticus Finch (YES)

Franz Katfka (nope.  Hated the original story, so I couldn't wear it!)

Portrait of Purrian Grey (maybe?  YES if so!)

The Color Purrple (nah)

Purr-ide and Purr-ejudice (YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES)

Hisster Prynne - (nah)

J.K. Meowling (I think?  Maybe)

Edgar Allen Purr (Maybe, just for the name)

The Great Catsby (YES YES YES!!!)

If lip colors are released, Jane Pawsten (IT WILL BE MINE) and maybe A Tale of Two Kitties (if it's a true wine, and doesn't go too purple).

Also Heavy Breathing Cat, that swatch shows it more as a pewter than a silver, and it's SO PRETTY.  

OK, I didn't need quite as many as I thought.  My wallet will only weep gently rather than a full-on tantrum.  (Although I may need Halflings of Archean Earth and One of Us and/or 23.  If I have to pay for shipping from Canada, might as well make it worth it!).  Whew, having a plan in place makes me less jittery about the whole thing!

Oh my goodness...I want only the 1st 4 colors in those swatches (and MAYBE the pink one)...but I want all of them because KITTIES! Cutest names ever!!!

 

[meaganola]

I have cats named after Poe and Wilde due to their colors. Oscar is gray, and Edgar (the derpy blpck cot mentioned last night) is black. I *will* be getting these. I just have to figure out how to make my budget do my bidding.

 

[marigoldsue]

If lip colors are released, Jane Pawsten (IT WILL BE MINE) and maybe A Tale of Two Kitties (if it's a true wine, and doesn't go too purple).

I had missed any discussion of this release until yesterday.  Are Jane Pawsten and A Tale of Two Kitties the only lip colors that had been mentioned?  What was Jane Pawsten suppose to be?

There was also something about a Katpiss Neverclean, Christine said that was happening but it was more of a poo than a piss.  Was that a shadow suggestion?  Was there mention of shadows other than the ones swatched?

Hello Waffle is also coming out with a new collection for October called "Catssic Literature" inspired from this post on IMAM: http://www.reddit.com/r/Indiemakeupandmore/comments/2a0ntu/i_painted_my_own_indie_makeup_collection_to_help/

Tentative swatches for the new Hello Waffle collection are here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Indiemakeupandmore/comments/2ho9ht/got_two_very_generous_care_packages_in_the_mail/

I remember seeing the original post and spazzing with excitement (especially since it seemed Fyrinnae might've been interested in it, too). Release date is supposed to be around October 17 (although it might be pushed back).

@@marigoldsue here's the pic I was talking about for the original inspiration for this collection.  I was trying to match these up against the actual swatches shown in the other pic I linked.  That's why I'm not sure of the Portrait of Purrian Grey and JK Meowling colors because they don't (in my opinion!) match the inspirations, so I came at them by process of elimination:

Thanks.  I always forget that original posts on IMAM sometimes have pictures that don't load unless you click on that separately...

 

[tacehtpuekam]

So overwhelmed by all the Cocoa Pink scents! There are so many and they all sound amazing!

Will be placing an order eventually, whenever I can narrow it down /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Lolo22]

It came!!!!!



S'mores is everything I could dream of and more. I wish I would've ordered doubles or triples. The pb is more sweet marshmallowy and the perfume is more smoky marshmallow graham cracker. Vanilla taffy is very extracty but with a candy twist. Ghost puffs is awesome but you guys ready know that. Fall air is exactly what you would imagine- rainy, wet leaves on a cool morning. Twice is nice is exactly what I've been looking for-strong almond! Smells like raw almond cookie dough. I'll be ordering the full line up of that next time and a free sample of Persephones decent. Love it all so much!

I have I Tried and Doge, and they are beautiful! I just celebrated my 5 year anniversary with the bf, and for my look I used Doge as the brow highlight, I Tried over most of my lid, and GDE Lovers Lane in the crease. It was so pretty over Glitter Fix and I'm sad there wasn't enough light for a photo, I'm going to have to do the look again.

Congrats on 5 years!

I was lured over here from the No Buy thread (of course) and just got my first orders from Alchemic Muse and Aromaleigh and have HoG and Shiro on the way. I'd say this obsession is coming along very nicely! So, thanks everyone, I really love/hate you for this.
