Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[BSquared]

Whyyyyyyy did I look at cocoa pink's website? I am on a no buy. I am on a no buy.

I'm trying to be better about swatching, here is my recent order from Notoriously Morbid. Left, bottom to top are the Slay Me 3 in I Call it Mr. Pointy, 5 By 5 and Lost in L.A. Right from bottom to top are The Winchester Gospels in Hallelujah (my favorite), Sympathy For the Devil and Visions.

It's too bad my camera can't pick up the fine shift in Hallellujah, because it is just so, so pretty. The other two are heavy on the shimmer, as you can tell. In opinion time, I hate to say anything negative because these colors are so beautiful, but the mattes of the Slay Me 3 collection seem a little difficult to work with. :/ Hopefully I can be proven wrong!

Sad face!  I'm still waiting for shipping on my Winchester Gospels, and I ordered the evening it was released!  On the up side, Carrie did say they should all be out by Tuesday night.  AKA the season premiere.  And I can't watch it until the weekend -- probably Sunday -- anyway due to my schedule, so I'm going to cross my fingers and hope it's here by then.  It just feels *wrong* to not have the shadows before I watch the show!

Yeah I might wait to watch the premiere until mine get here too! I'm actually not even finished with season 9 so, I have to power through that too.

I completely forgot about my Winchester Gospels order (and glass lip tints)! I actually got a shipping notice yesterday and thought it was for my VC already, but it must be for that order instead. 

It's going to be such a good mail week!

The subject lines of VC shipments say the month and VC!  So if it doesn't say something like "Oct VC," chances are that it's your order, and your VC will follow later!

I just got my NM order yesterday and forgot about it a little, so everyone's should be soon! I apologize for how dry and crinkly my skin is - fall and spring are bad times of year, I sweat a ton and get superdry skin and bad rashes. Ugh, that was TMI. I hate the weather changes.

Actually, though, I just realized that could account for how hard the mattes were to get even - hopefully application on the lid will be much smoother. Ha ha, I made an eyeshadow pun. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Edited not for bad puns but bad typos/grammar.

@@Allison H - Thank you! I should definitely check out Alchemic Muse Bonfire, that sounds right up my alley...and CP Fear of Ghosts sounds pretty darn close to HoG Smores so I may need to stock up on that to hold me over once I run out of Smores.  I seriously can't wait for our CP orders to come.  I am WAY TOO EXCITED for that stuff!

Thanks @@chibimorph!  Another indie to check out! I can't believe that 6 months ago I didn't even know these places existed and now that's all I wanna use.  Mainstream stuff just seems so boring now lol.

Now you know why I just sigh and roll my eyes at whatever fragrance samples show up in my Birchbox/Sample Society/etc.!  I don't want to smell like half the people walking down the street.  I want to smell like "an in-between place, sacred and tangibly magickal in innumerable cultures and faiths."  (BPAL Crossroads.  Actual notes:  "A chill twilit garden of blooms over dry earth and mosses, heavily laden with incense and offertory herbs.")  Just for one example.

Just got tracking for my Victorian Disco order...can't wait to see if it actually updates!

It's coming from Illinois, so it shouldn't take long to get to me once (if) it actually starts moving. Come to me, House Points Collection!

Oh no she didn't get that fixed yet, it's not, she moved to Florida, but her Paypal still says Illinois.

Welp, just gone done in at Cocoa Pink, there was so much to choose from I could have gone nuts. I held it to a reasonable 6 sample drams. Of which I will probably need at least five full sized. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ohhh yeah forgot about that whole debacle.  <_<

Ok I need everyone's help...I need a dupe of Aromaleigh's discontinued shadow Talisman. I have a sample and it's amazing. I've looked everywhere, and the only thing that possibly comes close is Darling Girl's Cosmopolitan: http://www.darlinggirlcosmetics.com/item_816/Cosmopolitan-Eye-Shadow.htm

Help!

Oof, I had somehow managed to not swatch this month's VC before today.  I knew Wadsworth was magical in the jar, but OMG.  Swatches do not give this one justice.  If  you didn't get the VC, run, don't walk, and order it from the overstock page.  Push small children and slow-moving animals out of the way.

Today's makeup was your fault. (Or rather, I should say, you inspired my makeup today!) haha.

Lid is NM Wadsworth all over *I wish the photo picked up the shift a bit better*, and my lower waterline is Aromaleigh's Ambre. I was feeling "Autumn" today. (Non Indie: The liner is Pacifica's Fringe and lips are NYX Vamp Lip Cream in Enamored)



*I was not driving fyi*

Let me see if I have anything in my collection. I agree though, Talisman is to die for....

In heartbreaking news, I cant find anything in my collection that has both that color and that metallic finish... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I tried though, good luck! Hopefully someone else has something! *hugs*
