Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[meaganola]

FYI, in case anyone cared:  Baroque Cosmetics has superfast TAT but does not send samples.  Haute Sugary also has superfast TAT and did not send samples in this order I just received, but it was all samples to begin with, so they might not send additional samples in an order that's all samples to begin with.

(I'm dealing with a group order situation, so I am receiving orders I didn't place from companies I've never tried or even heard of before!)

I love when people post new companies for me to go throw money at!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Alchemic Muse first impressions, after I had to literally cut it out of my mailbox because my mail lady doesn't realize that our end is smaller than her end, and she was too lazy to bring it to the door...

Everything was packaged painstakingly. Each jar was wrapped in tissue paper, then shrink wrapped, then also had a protective seal under the lid. Obviously nothing leaked, and I also got a free perfume sample with my order.

Favorites: Pumpkin Chai body whip, Lovecraft whipped soap, and Nightshade. I haven't had a chance to try anything though, just smelled from the jar.

I got the Lovecraft body whip and I loooooooooove(craft) it.

Heh.  I'm also going to be receiving things from Delush Polish -- they have an _American Horror Story_ polish collection that encompasses all seasons -- and Insomnia Cosmetics (all lipstick, all the time, although I wish they made polish because I would *love* one in Bone Dust).  And a few other companies that we already know and love, so I won't mention those again!

 Curious to hear about the thickness of these body whips and cream soaps--can you compare them to the HoG pumpkin butters and whipped soaps?? Some of these scents sound amazing!!

Well I haven't tried the HoG whipped soaps, so I have no idea about that, but these look like the consistency of buttercream frosting. And the body whips are much lighter than the pumpkin butters. More of a whipped consistency.

So...  Since we were just talking about Terry Pratchett today (yesterday?  Time has no meaning), I'll drop this here and note that tomorrow is the start of the pre-sale window.

Ooo thank you! I've found the HoG pumpkin butters a little thick for everyday use (I like them for post-shave though...and I bet I'll change my mind mid-winter), so these might be up my alley!

I think I prefer the body whip to the pumpkin butter. I don't have especially dry skin and it absorbs a little more nicely for me.

Oh good to know, thank you!

I kind of hope I hate some of them, my poor wallet....

At least as far as the shampoos/hair stuff, it's cheaper than the salon brands I usually buy so I figure it's ok if I fall in love with a few /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I was trying not to look at Cocoa Pink in fear for my wallet, but did any of you order the Fall Favorites Set? Will you give us a quick review of it, if you did? I looked at the shampoos and went "holy cow why are there so many scents!" I can't wait to hear what you all think!

I really LOVE Whoa Dog! It's a great color on my vampy white skin! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm glad to hear that! I also have vampy white skin and was worried about it being so bright!

I ordered the Fall Favorites Set, and I believe Lolo22 did as well. I hope the set comes before my parents visit in a week (I opted out of the 2 day shipping), as I actually purchased that so my mom could try out some of CP's products. I'll be happy to let you know what we think of them. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ok good, I really don't need to order anything more for a while, but if you guys end up loving it, I might cave.

I ordered it as well.  Honestly though I am a little overloaded on new scents at the moment and I don't like mixing scent profiles on my body.  So I am not sure when I will get around to trying anything enough to give it a "real" review.  It will depend on what catches my whim.  Right now I am on a Black Violet high and everything else has been pushed aside.  That could change though.

I wish there were more video game collections, I would love a Borderlands collection in time for the new game that comes out next week. I want all of the characters greatest quotes to be a shadow name. Especially Claptrap and Tiny Tina. "Wub wub wub" and "Crumpets are crunk!" would be the best.
