Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[tacehtpuekam]

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.

I've been dying to know this too. I think normally the mini jars don't have art, but no one has been able to confirm that the Halloween collection for sure doesn't. 

I LOVE Nightmare Before Christmas, but I definitely don't need a whole full size set. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't know about Halloween sets from shiro but my normal minis do not have artwork.

This is my precise dilemma!

We were searching for bead storage containers for a bday present for my niece and I saw this at Wal-Mart last night (I've seen it at Michaels also) and thought it would be a great way to organize loose shadows:

This thread has opened my eyes to so many indie cosmetics companies that I never knew even existed and I saw the suggestion for using a bead organizer to store loose pigments and it has made such a difference! I love being able to buy sample baggies because they really do give quite a bit of product and I will never use all the eyeshadows I have...anyway, I ordered a container like this off of Amazon and it works great! 

Unfortunately, I have too many shadows for my box now and I have had to pick favorites and start a rotation.

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 love the artwork on the lid! One of my favorite things I have found about indies is the little touches (like artwork) that goes into the products!

Sadly no. *sob*

Le sigh. I have some decisions to make.

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 got in a GDE blush order this week and I love them! I also got Upper East Side simply because of New York, although the color is great! 

Also...sorry for so many posts! I usually just lurk in this thread because I really don't know a thing about indies but I love learning about new brands and products. Y'all are some good enablers!

So Dreamworld Hermetica actually has the Hocus Pocus collection on the website if you want to take a look: http://dreamworldminerals.net/eyeshocuspocus.html

But the main page says that they're revamping the site and that shadows and blushes aren't for sale right now (and to please not to order them). And the Hocus Pocus collection was actually released last year and it's being re-released this year (once they finish the site).

Welcome!! And don't worry I have no idea what I'm doing either, my participation usually consists of "oooo look so pretty! *places order*" over....and over...AND OVER /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I saw somewhere (Indie Knows, probably, since I think it was in my Newsify Bus Reading feed, and the only makeup blog in that feed is Indie Knows) that the reason Shiro's Nightmare Before Christmas collection is having a final bow this year is because next year will be Harry Potter!  React as needed!

OOOH! I want this, badly. It would be my first dreamworld hermetica order too. If you see it go live or hear anything let me know!

Thank you for the link! I think this will be my one and only Halloween set. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Can anyone tell me if the mini jars from Shiro Cosmetics have the cool artwork on the lid or is it only on full sizes? Thanks!

Thanks! I just saw that the same question was asked on the previous page. I'm so sad.

They stopped offering artwork on mini jars about a year ago; there was an announcement.

No worries! The more, the merrier. And welcome!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Which blush did you end up getting?

Best. News. Ever.
Speaking of Harry Potter, I'll probably start reading GOF before I go to bed tonight. I took a break from my series reread for Good Omens after a bunch of people from this thread's recommendation a while back. Pretty awesome. I'll have to look into more Neil Gaiman soon.

Eta whoops kind of messed up the quoting but it's fixed now!
