Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[Bflopolska]

I had a 3 month and had to refresh so many times that it disappeared from my cart, and I had to get a 2 month. This new system did not work as well for me as the previous one! I'm just glad that at least I got a 2 month, but bummed because I was hoping for something nice in December (my birthday month.)

Just a reminder: GDE OTM has its own thread!

https://www.makeuptalk.com/f/topic/129210-glamour-doll-eyes-otm-2014-spoilers/

We have a discussion on it going over there already! (It's separate because it predates this thread, and there are a lot of people only interested in *that* sub who are too overwhelmed by this thread to try to keep up with it, so they asked for GDE OTM to go over there.)

Anyone order from GDE for Freebie Wednesday? If so, what are you getting? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I decided on sample jars of Bella Donna, Apple Martini, Graves in May, & Heedless Heart (I have a cream shadow of this shade, but the consistency is getting kind of wonky). 

Edited because I can't spell.

My cart is prepped with:

Anastasia blush

All Nighter

Apple Martini

Aqua Foil

And I'll toss in a jar of the GWP. (And I almost forgot about this because of the news about the Ghostbusters reboot. Between that and the Twin Peaks resurrection, BEST WEEK EVER. Or at least of the year.)

My cart is full of GLITTER!!! I'm so getting the GWP too since I *think/hope* this is the only order I place all month.  Finger crossed my custom glitter doesn't turn out fugly /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I was able to get a 1 month GDE OTM, so yay there!

My Derp Halloween Shiro order came today!!! I am so seriously in love with Spiber, it is a bluey-grey with amazing glitter and it just shimmers and is amazingly lovely. Wetch is pretty Its a purple with light purple and blue glitters. I only wish I could have gotten more of the colors but I am so SO very happy with these!!

And lastly, my NM Winchester Collection (and other items) order moved via USPS Tracking! Its getting closer!

I've had my cart all ready for Freebie Wednesday since last week's and I've tweaked it a couple of times. I haven't gotten any blush since my free Start a Rumor for my first ever Freebie Wednesday so I'm getting sample jars of Anastasia and Hollywood Affair. I'm also getting Nymphette which I've been eyeing for quite awhile and Upper East Side because Gossip Girl haha. I can't wait. Guillotine Dreams was even better in person than the swatches!

I just went through and attempted to sort all my shiny indie shadows by color.  I previously had them sorted by brand, since I liked having matching labels and jar sizes, but I realized I could no longer keep any sort of track of what colors I had in my head, and I really ought to sort them the more practical way.  It was harder than I thought, because of shifts and glitter and shades between shades!  It also helped me realize that I'm not really missing much shade-wise, but I could use a good metallic silver.  Anyone have any recommendations?

Solstice Scents first impression:

Wail of the Banshee Whipped Soap - Super fluffy, creamy, and moisturizing. Doesn't lather much, and leaves just a slight hint of the scent on the skin after rinsing. It's a very large jar, will definitely last you a while. This scent is not for everyone. Definitely a dank bog with a slight hint of woods in it.

Foxcroft Whipped Soap - Also not for everyone, even though the perfume smells lovely. The soap brings out the wet dirt scent, but it reminds me of after a good rain.

Manor Body Ganache - This is supposed to smell like vanilla and aloeswood (which I have no idea what that is supposed to smell like), but to me it smells like vanilla pudding, or s'mores without the chocolate. If you like foodie scents, run don't walk to get this. The body butter is incredibly soft, and moisturizing, and silky smooth after it dries. It does take on more of a woody scent on the skin, but it still smells like food to me. It has the texture of very lightly whipped cream. 

I think I need the whipped soap in the other scents. Blackburn Farmstead and Witch's Cottage are foodie scents, and why I didn't get them for soap, but I think they will smell amazing in the whipped soap.

Thanks for posting! That Manor Body Ganache sounds right up my alley!

eta And I definitely skipped over it when I ordered samples because I had no clue what aloeswood was lol

@ gorgeous colors!! Someone got Wetch in a custom gloss and I adore the crap out of it. Next pay day, I might just ask Caitlin for it!!

I saw that too, I am SO tempted too. I think I want to start playing around with custom glosses from her too. I always forget you can order them!

And I got my Hello Waffle order, had a few mistakes with it, but she did include some awesome extras for me. I have already emailed her. I was so surprised it came, my tracking still shows it leaving JFK.

 

[CurlyTails]

My Hello Waffle order also came. Everything looks so pretty! I got full sizes of Beneath Oxfordshire, Animate Chess-Piece, Eat Me, Moonlit Grin, and Pool of Tears and sample sizes of Lavender Cream Highlighter, Golden Veil Highlighter, and Royale Cheese Blush. I also ordered a sample of Moon Princess Blush but she ran out of samples so she gave me a mini jar! She also threw in mini jars of Debussy and Snowflakes!

Here's a (poor) picture of my goodies:

Spoiler

I can't wait to play with everything

 

[meaganola]

Eeee, got my Shiro!  I Am Groot (yay, I was a little bit nervous I wouldn't get it because it was technically the September COTM, and I placed the order in October!), Sweater Weather (yay, one order, two COTMs!), Blpck Cot, and Zompey!  I tried to get a photo of Zompey that accurately reflected the sparkle, but it is not possible.  SO GLITTERY!  IN LOVE!

I also would love to see a hocus pocus themed Halloween set!!!! I grew up loving that movie & it's still a favorite in our house. As a kid I couldn't believe there was another little girl out there named "Dani!" Now my kids love it! Look mom! That girl has your name too!

How cool would a full indie make-up set be? If you'll excuse me now, I'm gonna go watch me some Sanderson Sisters! I love october!!!

Shiro question: Do mini jars have the pretty label art? I'm considering a Halloween order but I want to make sure I get the labels.
