Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[kawaiisofoxy]

Just checked out the swatches for this month's VC and I'm in luuuuuurve.  

I don't even like the theme (which I know I'm in the minority with most of NM's clientele.  Sorry, I just hate zombies!), but THE COLORS, YOU GUYZ.  Rose gold!  Green with gold shimmer!  INDIGO SHIMMERY GOODNESS!!!  I'm even looking forward to the orange-y brown.

Has anyone tried one of her Glam Glitters before? I'm thinking it will just be used in a craft project.  I don't actually *do* glitter anymore (and by "anymore", I mean I'm pretty sure I was coated in glitter gel the entire time I was 23.).  Definitely loving the idea of a peachy Coffin Kisser!  Even though I'm greedy for all the beautiful colored lip products we've gotten in the last few VCs.  

Vanishing Cabinet is by far my favorite sub now!!!

@ I have the glitter from the Firefly VC, and if it's the same kind as this time around, it's superfine. And that time around, it was just a sample. I'm not sure how much we're getting this time, but just given the size of the sample last time, it might be enough for accenting one or two cards but probably not enough for a full-blown project. I'll try to remember to swatch it tonight to give you an idea of the size compared to other glitters. (It might be good for glittery nail tips, too!)

Damnnnn... I was in class this morning /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> In the class where no computers are allowed. I didn't even realize it was time yet!

Yeah I had a friend who missed out and she was as quick as can be too, sold out while she was checking out. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The VC that is. Sorry guys. Last month was much easier to get in I think.

In other Indie news, today I tried Elevenses from Haus of Gloi (pumpkin butter and NON Autumn collection) and Oh my god I am in love. Orange + Almonds + black tea finish...this is heaven on me. Not overpowering, very subtle and just beautiful. I ordered this with all the rest of my Autumn stuff last Sunday (because...Hobbits....and reasons...yup) and I am SO in love. I have found my day to day go-too when I'm not feeling like a Pumpkin Queen haha.

There's a VC waiting list now! The email info is in the Crypt!

 

[MIKAGlam]

I didn't get charged for my VC yet this month but I signed up last month. Does that mean I will automatically get this month? I need that indigo color!!

Do you remember what day you signed up last month? It'll be the same day this month if yours is a recurring sub. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Mine is the 7th, I think. 

 

[MIKAGlam]

I got charged the 5th! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> thank you! I'll keep an eye out for it on that day.

Also: I am just having a difficult time not ordering more Haus Of Gloi. I am really debating on the hazelnut mocha lip balm. I am addicted to lip balm and coffee! I wish I would have looked at those when I placed my last order.

Enabling here, but it's really good...

Ugh I ended up ordering the NM Grimoire even though I know I shouldn't have... but the swatches were all so pretty! I am seriously at my limit though, nothing else! h34r: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yay! Buying myself all the goodies today! Got the Grisly Grimoire preorder this morning and am excited about the free COTM. Also thinking about getting GCC's Awesome Mix set later because I loved Guardians of the Galaxy. And I placed an HOG order a little bit ago which I'm excited about. It wasn't as picked over as I thought it would be! The only thing I didn't get that I really wanted was more Pumpkin Eater. 

You've just purchased this

1x The Horseman Bubbling Scrub - 2oz mini size jar

1x Lip Balms - Pumpkin Lavender

1x Olde Cider Haus Whipped Soap - 3oz jar by weight, 6oz by volume

1x Golden Corn Cakes Perfume Oil - Sample vial

1x Pumpkin Patch Perfume Oil - Sample vial

1x S'mores Perfume Oil - Sample vial

1x Butterbombs - Maplewood

 

[meaganola]

I think the main thing holding me back from definitely getting the Awesome Mix is that huge charge that's going to hit me due to the Espionage Kickstarter. The last time I checked, it was $2190 from hitting the subscription stretch goal. I will be watching it like a hawk this weekend.

ETA: It hit the $118k goal! Booyah! FIBONACCI NAILS, Y'ALL!

I don't understand how you all lucky ducks managed to snag the S'mores perfume. Every time I've looked it was sold out. And I never got a whipped soap in a scent I wanted. But I am probably getting the GCC Guardians collection. So there's that, and I hopefully should have a very special amazingly awesome package arriving today...

I was surprised there was anything S'mores when I went! I'm pretty excited about the corn bread one too. Yeah, I really wanted to try the whipped soap but they didn't have the scents I'd really wanted but  I figured I might as well do Olde Cider Haus for the sake of trying it. I liked that one in the bubbling scrub I got during the first fall release!

In regards to Victorian Disco (or any company I guess) what does 'complete' mean, if not shipped? Does that mean it's packed, but she hasn't printed a shipping label yet?

I think she does that to delay the freak out emails from customers. I still have a week or so until my order actually goes beyond turnaround time, but once that day hits, you can bet I will begin the nagging emails.
