@, gahhh you're TOO cute. I love your hair too!! 

@@Lolo22, also peep Lollerskatez (http://victoriandisco.com/shop/lollerskatz/)! I have it and it's quite lovely, but I may be convinced to part with it if you so desire :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> :) ETA - they show it quite dark on her site, but I just swatched it on my hand, bare, it's very light, lovely and full of rainbow sparkles!

Oh wow, mind blown!  I've never heard of this brand and they seem like the rainbow sparkle experts!! So many beautiful things!!!!!  And they have a sub too??  I feel so behind lol.

 
@@Lolo22 Your search for grays has made me realize that I don't own any gray indies... I may have to remedy this :D

For anyone interested in some random colors (that look mildly gray in their jars, but not gray in the swatches) - here are some random swatches under white LED light (because the sun has already retired for today):

Not Grays.JPG

Left-Right: Hello Waffle - Gryphon, Rule 42, Magic Mirror, Mozart, Schubert; Aromaleigh - How Quaint, Neurodivergent; Shiro - Not Drawing Room Fashion

Top-Bottom: primer, bare skin, Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy

I also have two silvery-colors from Victorian Disco (but silver is not gray, so...)

Ack!  I meant to swatch some GCC they're-gray-to-me shades!  I ran out of time!  Maybe tomorrow!

But speaking of GCC, Gun Kata.  OMG SO SPARKLY.  I'm totally watching _Equilibrium_ Saturday afternoon after I get home from _Dawn of the Planet of the Apes_ (I have to see it this week because that theatre is switching to _Guardians of the Galaxy_ next weekend!  *So* looking forward to that one!).

 
HAHAHA, Ok. So I have been looking up a new indie company about every couple days so I am not overwhelming myself. I finally hit Victorian Disco (because of recent conversations here) and I nearly squealed that they have a Tolkien Elvish Dialect  "Sindarin Collection".  Also the "Still a Better Love Story" will be mine along with the color "Not my Daughter B*tch"

Now I just have to wait until I get official confirmation and paperwork through about my new address as I am moving half way through next month.

Which puts me automatically on a "restricted buy" list because Indies always need enough processing time and I would hate to have pretty things lost in the mail.

Also, you all and your lovely compliments are so kind. Thank you <3

 
@chibimorph  I really like that Magic Mirror as well!

I'm working on loading up a cart at Victorian Disco, can't find a lot of swatches though.  Also knowing the pics tend to be a little dark makes it hard too.

 
I'm going to try and do a few swatches a day to get through all of mine. I have fairly sensitive skin so I swatch everything before I wear it and it just seems like this group is a good place to post my photos too :)
Today I swatched the first 6 colors from the Ancient Magick collection from Aromaleigh (I chose the "bright rainbow" colors to swatch first) There are 20 colors in the whole collection.
Red- seth (SO pretty with silver/lavender sparkles) *All swatches over primer only*
Yellow- re

Orange/Copper- selkis

Blue- tefnut

Green- khepir

Purple- isis

ZOMG, they are sooo pretty!!! I have such a copper problem. Literally, own so many of them. Like any company I see, MUST HAVE ALL THEIR COPPERS. 

 
Everything posted has been so pretty! I actually had to step back from this thread because I was getting overwhelmed by how much I wanted. :ph34r: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I have so many things on my wish list right now, it's insane.

Right now, I have two packages sitting at home waiting for me: A high-end fancy schmancy Le Metier de Beaute lip Kaleidoscope (last installment of a sub) and Geek Chic solid fragrance/lip something-or-other and the July COTM. *So* excited about the GCC! So antsy to unload the lip thing on eBay because that's probably the quickest way to get rid of it. Clearly, I need to continue to focus my everything on indies!

I got my last LMDB box yesterday and a GCC order today. I did a little happy dance when I got that LMDB box because I'm so happy that I will never get another one. Fancy pants can't hold a candle to this:

 
I just totally signed up for the Victorian Disco subscription.  It sounds like it *was* a deal where you bought each bag individually but is now switching over to an actual subscription where you sign up once and have a recurring charge each month, although you do also have the option to buy one-offs, so this is basically the Rainbow Honey model.  Per their website, for $13 each month, you will receive:

One full size color of the month

One special color of the month

One lip gloss sample

One blush sample

Special freebies

It also sounds like the next couple of months are going to be rocky finding-their-new-groove time between this change and their recent (like within the past couple of weeks) move to Florida, so it's going to be interesting to see how things shake out.

I'm really hoping the move to Florida will resolve all of their shipping problems (it took over 2 months for me to get my order); also, I think that Ashley has changed the structure a bit so that her boyfriend is now doing the packing and shipping while she does customer service and works on new products (and the subscription). The Victorian Disco stuff that I have is really nice, though! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
SQUEALLLLLL, I won a giveaway from IndieKnow (one of my favorite sites to check out indie swatches btw) and just got their package today!!! Zomg, I am so stoked!! I finally have a Darling Clandestine solid perfume of my own!! And Haus of Gloi soap. and so many eyeshadow samples to play with. I shall take a pic after I am done squealing and show off the goods :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 
Ok impulse refunded my order (note: no issues with customer service with them. I emailed them Monday which was their first day back from vacation, they responded Tuesday asking me for transaction info, money is back in my paypal account today. Cancellation was due to a mistake on my side so I have zero bad things to say about them!). ANYWAYS I now have $43 sitting in my paypal just itching to be spent on some pretty new indies. What to buy what to BUY!?!?

Sample jars of exfoliating scrub, bubbling scrub, body butter, and body emulsion as well as a perfume oil sample from Haus of Gloi.  A tinted lip balm and a lip gloss from Shiro.  A July mystery bag from Rainbow Honey.  A HydraGlaze, Pick Your Poison sample jar set, and a sample of Start a Rumor blush from Glamour Doll Eyes.  There.  I think I spent all of your money for you!  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

(If you had any fandoms, I would put together a list of specific fandom-oriented stuff!)
