Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[meaganola]

Yay, Darling Girl Walking Dead order placed!

• Walkers
• Bitten
• Pumpkin Fyre

I kept going back and forth between Pumpkin Fyre and Crystal Lake (I just realized there are DG shades not in any of the collections last night!), but I finally went with PF because it's a COTM.  And because I don't think I have anything like it!

Homicide is really pigmented on me. I think it's hard for me to get a feel for the colors because the models lips are super light and mine are naturally more dark pink/mauvey. I think you're right though, that I would like Sailors Delight. That's going on my to buy list next.

In other news I am so sad there's no mail today /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> CP, HoG and GDE (custom glitter!) are all coming tomorrow.

Awwww boo I forgot about that!!! no HoG until tomorrow I guess.

My Hello Waffle order arrived! (it was delivered on Saturday but I couldn't pick it up until today). I ordered minis of the 1000 Likes Collection, the Space Duo, Rose Champagne, and Sweet Tea mini blush (which has a very generous amount of blush for a mini). My freebies were minis of Walternate 2.0, They Are Coming, and Bishop (and I chose White Tulip as the GWP).



I just put Rose Champagne on and it's amazing! I have to leave for class/shadowing now, but I can't wait to play with the other things when I get back tonight

I finally made a small Darling Girl purchase. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Walkers , Bitten, & a mini jar of Moondust Diamond Dust. And then the We're All Infected GWP. 

Also added a LOT of things to my wish list as I was browsing. Darling Girl is like a whole separate rabbit hole.

I had an accident and dropped my Enchanting Otters all over the floor, and I had just made an order from Fyrinnae.  I asked if I could add an Enchanting Otters and they said they would just add one.  Fyrinnae is awesome!

I have made several orders from VDC in the past with the most recent order placed 6/27/14.  I received my order in July and one item was wrong and I received the correct item in mid-August.

Yeah, Darling Girl's TAT blew up after the Who Ya Gonna Call and OITNB releases hit.  Per Facebook, on Friday the 10th:

But even when I ordered outside of a release (the first Momentary Marvel, a semi-loose shadow, and the I Smiled Once COTM, just kind of randomly in the middle of the month with no big collections being released), it took three weeks to get my order.  I think three weeks is the baseline with DG, and it goes up from there.

Good to know. I'd be a lot more patient (I think) if I were just waiting on shadows, but I'm waiting on Glitter Glue and I feel like I can't use any of my other indie shadows properly until I have it. Whinewhinewhine

Darling Clandestine is back! Well, her total lineup isn't up, but most of her stock is back /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My Aromaleigh order and GDE OTM should be arriving tomorrow!

 

[Kelly Silva]

Just placed my first Darling Girl order, only a couple things: Bitten, Walkers, and a Coral Kiss mini. It should be a nice surprise when this arrives!

 

[Verorenee]

My Aromaleigh order and GDE OTM should be arriving tomorrow!

Ohh I don't see too much on here about aromaleigh. What did you get?

How does everyone else feel about the brand? I've been eyeing the Serpens collection but don't have experience with this brand.

I love Aromaleigh! There was some drama a few years back and I wonder if their reputation just hasn't totally rebounded yet? Apparently the owner had undiagnosed autism that she's now receiving treatment for.

I have samples of the entire Brilliant Deductions collection (which is on sale for 50% off until tomorrow). Pigmentation is good and it wears well. I have had some minor creasing, even with primer, but nothing that has kept me from continuing to wear it. I love her colors and the samples are really generous. Turnaround time when I ordered was less than 24 hours. I'd say give them a try with a small order (minimum order size $10) so you can try for yourself.

I just ordered from them recently and had no issues.  I've actually been really busy and haven't even swatched most of the shadows I got yet! I was interested in Aromaleigh bc I really like duochromes and they seem to have a lot.  Their clearance site is also really good for deals on full-sized eyeshadows.  The only thing I would note is that their regular site has a $10 minimum order but the clearance site does not seem to have this restriction.

I was looking at Aromaleigh's site after y'all mentioned it and for some reason, the product pages are showing a much cheaper price but when I get to the checkout they are all more expensive. Am I just a total noob who doesn't know what she's doing or is it happening for anyone else? The specific collections that I am interested in are the Brilliant Deductions and Ever In Your Favor collections.

Those are both on sale right now; Brilliant Deductions is 50% off through tomorrow and Ever in Your Favor is discontinued and remaining stock is 40% off, I think? I think I might see the problem: under the menu where you choose the size, it says something like "Purchase this product now and earn 4 points $3.90 $2.34". For some reason that seems to be taking 40% off the 40% price and it's a mistake. The full-size Ever in Your Favors are $3.90 and the Brilliant Deductions are $3.25. This is off the normal price of $6.00 each. Hope this helps!

Okay, that's what I thought was going on. I contacted the owner and although I would love it if the prices were discounted that low, I understand that they aren't.

I had a great customer service experience with Aromaleigh a few pages back, where I had ordered a sample of one of the discontinued shadows and it was completely sold out, but I loved it so much. I contacted them and they were willing to make a batch for me so I could buy a few jars of it, and quite a few people here too also bought one. It was one of those over the top things that has made me a customer for life. I will probably now order every new collection they come out with.
