Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[BSquared]

I'm trying to be nice and calm. But it's so frustrating to see her Facebook statuses about "all orders from September are shipped" and I ORDERED IN JULY.

I'm ready to write it off and say she clearly needs the $14 more than I do, but it makes me mad it's happening to other people too. Stuff happens. I get that. Mistakes are made. But I'm tired of excuses, apologies, blaming the post office, and blaming Danny. Like....say you screwed up and I'd have a lot more patience.

 

[mandithomas89]

Lol seriously, if I were Danny, I'd have quit by now with all the blame she throws his way.

eta On a different note, I'm thinking about getting a hydraglaze from GDE on Wednesday. I've held off on them this long because there's no sample size. Thoughts? And favorite colors if anyone's a fan?

Why does this happen to every round of things I order? My Shiro order is missing wetch, about to email, but I will be so sad if I don't get it.

OH NO!!! That is genuinely heartbreaking! I love the shade too, I hope she can fix it for you!

Regarding Victorian Disco:  Send her a message with a link to the FTC guidelines for Internet sales and tell her she is in serious violation of the rules.  That message from me is what prompted her to send my order finally.

The rules essentially say something to the effect that if shipping exceeds 30 days (or your original stated time) you have to give customers a date the order will ship by and get their permission in writing to hold their order.  Otherwise you have to refund them.  She has not met her original stated shipping time for any of us, nor has she sent us messages with delivery dates and asking for authorization to hold our orders.  May be time to consider filing complaints with the FTC.  Or at least let her know that you know it is an option.

This is only further awesome as I had my first College math test today and I am confident I aced it. I was going to celebrate by buying new pretties but when I realized this was coming today it was way more exciting than buying more new things (yay sticking to low buys! lol)

Congrats for finishing your first college math test! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And I am also on a (self-imposed) low-buy. It's hard (I did another two rounds of loading up the Haus of Gloi cart and then closing the tab today).

I broke down and ordered the Halloween samples from Sugar and Spite. I need more smells for my ongoing scent narratives. (Today I just had HoG Pumpkin Eater over a regular flowery perfume so it was like I was eating pumpkin pie, but also being fancy. See? NEED MORE OPTIONS.)

I'm getting "Should be finished pending tomorrow it says" (on Monday) and "Nothing, it's still showing pending I will call them in a bit to try and push it through!" (this morning) about a refund for a payment I made via PayPal in July.  Still waiting.  She's responding to messages.  She's just not *doing* anything.

In happier news, Winchester Gospels!  They're here!  I had COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN that there was a nail polish in this line that I had also ordered!  And my extras clearly show where everyone's minds have been this week:  My Log Saw Something and Sometimes My Arms Bend Back.

In completely unrelated news, WTF ARE YOU DOING, CATS?  Have you left any batshit in the universe for other kitties?  (Answer:  No.)

 

[Kelly Silva]

Here's my haul for today! I thought most of this would arrive tomorrow, so yay for early delivery! Shiro Halloween collection full size, Aromaleigh Diavoli collection and various other shadows, and my replacement Black Violet perfumes from the anniversary sale! Haus of Gloi will be here tomorrow, and then Tuesday is GDE OTM, and NM Winchester Gospels! Happy things!

Should not place another NM order, but @@marigoldsue has me convinced I need Cachtice. Anyone have Serannian Dreams? Might grab that one too.

Yes!! It's suuuuper cool toned pink, I LOVE IT, it almost stains your lips white then pink over that? I'd post swatches for you but I'm at my moms /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just got that one in this week. It is a much lighter pink on than in the swatch. My son is home from college tomorrow. I will try to remember to put it on and make him take a close up of my lips. He will love that!

I was cold and the baseball game was boring, so I took a bath.  I found myself craving a chocolate mint scented bath product.  Has anyone found one they like?  I want it to smell good and feel luxurious on the skin.

Sigh...still waiting for my Birchbox to hopefully show what I'll be getting this month...

Checking this thread in between my BB stalking, and everyone has convinced me to check out NM for more goodies. Yay! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I've never used any, but Haus of Gloi has something called "Peppermint Cocoa" listed in their Reverie Fragrance Catalog: http://www.hausofgloi.com/pages/reverie-fragrance-catalog-2 which will hopefully come out during one of the Yule releases.

Sixteen92 also has a shower gel in Peppermint Hot Chocolate: https://www.etsy.com/listing/205195060/shower-gel-8oz-bottle-choose-your?ref=shop_home_active_3

I've not tried any myself, but that does sound wonderful! I'm sure I've seen it around recently, I'll try to remember where and let you know. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Here's a CocoaPink scent...Peppermint Hot Cocoa – A steaming mug of creamy hot chocolate infused with peppermint.

I'm sure I've seen this scent around some etsy shops lately...

Also, Alchemic Muse is supposedly adding their winter items soon, but I'm not sure if they'd offer anything like that.

I'm not far enough in Supernatural that I know who Crowley is, but having just read Good Omens, that name is jumping out at me!

Hehe well its in honor of this weeks season premier. So anyone who's seen that should know and you will too when you get there /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[meaganola]

YOU GUYS!  ALL-CAPS BECAUSE I GOT MY VCD REFUND!  Totally shocked over here.  I honestly didn't think it would ever happen. 

 

[mandithomas89]

Ahhh my NM order is perfect. Even the candy is amazing.

Spoiler

Warheads. I freaking love Warheads. And I didn't know they made them in Smarties form either.
