Ok shiro order in. ALL THE GREEN EYESHADOW!! off to GDE. This is so dangerous.

What's *really* dangerous is when you plan and stagger your orders around TAT so you know you will get your GDE during *this* window, GCC during this other window, Haus of Gloi during this third window, and so on.  And then you look at your list of incoming packages, and it's blank!  Time to order some more stuff!

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!)

You can get all of that for $43?  I think I am putting you in charge of my shopping!

Hey! I said she was my Indie personal shopper first!  :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  No but really, I think at least 3 of us want you to shop for us now @@meaganola, so what should I buy next? I've got GDE, BPAL, my Haus of Gloi order is being made, and while I want some Shiro I want to be good for my swap person and not buy more things on my wish list! I don't know why, but for some reason Shiro seems off limits until I get my gift. Do I go for some Impulse Cosmetics lipstick samples? Or something else?

I was not very happy with my Impulse lipstick samples. The samples are really dry and hard to apply.

I was very happy though with my Haus of Gloi order.  I am anxious for Hello Waffle to be back up and running.  I LOVED the sample that came with the GDE July sub.

I'm not a big fan of the sample sizes..thought they were really hard to work with. But I do like the full size tubes!

What fandoms? Just curious

The only two I would buy collections of are for manga series that are still relatively obscure in the West, GANGSTA. and Nanatsu no Taizai. Both have been licensed for English release, but will never get the type of attention as say, Attack on Titan.

With that said, I don't even know if there are brands who do manga-inspired collections, but if there were, I'd definitely have to keep an eye on those! :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I could swear I've seen some company did a Death Note collection? I'm second guessing myself, but I think that's the only other big one that companies might do.

ETA: Yeah duh, Shiro did a Death Note collection.

Did you use your finger or a brush? I prefer to use my finger, because it seems like warming the product up a bit really helps it apply more smoothly and creamier. Even when I use my tubes, I rub it in with my finger for best results. Hope this helps! :flowers:

Ahh, Death Note.... ahh.... uhm. :ph34r: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Well, I'll give them credit for trying at least. :lol: BUT I have yet to check out Shiro so I will definitely have to do that now!

Yeah I mean if a company is doing a geek collection, they'll want to do fandoms people are familiar with. Hard to sell something on geek factor if only a few people know what it is!

Shiro has a Death Note and Fullmetal Alchemist collection (the stickers on the jars are from the FMA: Brotherhood anime). Geek Chic Cosmetics has a Revolutionary Girl Utena collection. Victorian Disco has a Sailor Moon collection and the Sirocco collection (inspired by Hayao Miyazaki films!). Baroque Cosmetics just recently came out with a collection inspired by Howl's Moving Castle. Persephone Minerals has a Sailor Moon collection.

These are the ones I can think of right away... I feel like I have seen more, though.

I tried both.  I really couldn't get much color pay off either way.  I wish I could get a better idea of what the colors would look like on me.  Then I would order the tubes.

 
The Notoriously Morbid sale has started! 30% off with code "tellmyfuture" (ends 12am EST on 7/28). New blushes, lipcraft lip glosses, and a couple of new eyeshadows are up. @@meaganola I hope you have fun with this! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@marigoldsue I think people have had good experiences with samples of the Fyrinnae lip lustres and samples of Limnit lipsticks if you're looking for more unique colors.
