Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[Amber McCarley]

Holy cow....I have never ordered from Meow Cosmetics but their Halloween store is open and it has SO MANY COLLECTIONS! I'm assuming they bring back all the Halloween collections for one month...I am doomed, I want all of them. I FOUND A TARANTULA EYESHADOW!!! http://www.meowcosmetics.com/halloweenlanding.htmOh goodness..

I also just stumbled upon Venomous Cosmetics and they have products named after spiders, snakes and jellyfish. Loose shadows, pressed shadows and lip products! My birthday is Thurs and I get paid tomorrow....ALL THE SPIDER SHADOWS. http://venomouscosmetics.com

*my apologies to the spider phobic....

*edit* upon researching VC I have ran into another potentially bad company who does not respond to emails and takes forever to process/ship...so I will be waiting. Apparently she shut down due to health reasons and only recently opened back up. However messages on her FB page are claiming no correspondence over a month after ordering... :/ that's all sorts of red flags there...
After my VDC experience I research new companies big time now before ordering...sad.

I ordered some Meow cosmetics foundation samples and needed to spend more so I got some Halloween samples as well! I'd have to look to see which part of the Halloween collections I got them from... But they shipped today! I can't wait to see them.

I received a Fyrinnae order I didn't even remember making lol! But I'm in love. I got 8 eye shadows, 2 blushes and 2 lippies. 

These are so crazy pigmented they're making me spoiled. I never reach for my Urban Decay or Tarte shadows anymore...

VD disaster update: I emailed her last night with my very frank email touching on getting a refund from Paypal and FTC guidelines, and I immediately got a reply asking if I would like my order to be "resent". I said yes obviously. Then she sends a new tracking number that actually says it originates in Florida. Then she replies and says she just got my email and was sorry to have disappointed me so much...anyways my tracking still says Shipping Label Created, so we'll see if it does anything by tonight. If it doesn't I will probably email her again and ask if she actually took it to the PO.

Yay for indie mail! The GDE OTM is beautiful as always. And Aromaleigh Talisman is to die for in the jar! So happy that Kelly Silva made this happen. Plus, I got three samples with my order!

I'm gonna have to get witchy. No response after the Friday email that she would "look into it", sent another one last night that just said "so did we find a tracking number?".....nothing. So frustrated at this point.

I have the I+TA sub spoilers!

Spoiler

Cruor, Empty Sorrow, Hallowing Voice, Thaumaturage, Augur (blush, bottom half over primer patted on, top half blended out no primer), Esoteric Aesthetic Tiphereth, Hello Waffle Regina, and Eccentric Cosmetics Michonne (Walking Dead woo!)

Please don't be offended by my lips, this is the Spectrum Cosmetics Dementia lip product extra, and it applied horribly. Couldn't get it opaque, it was slippery, and overall a terrible formula.

Everything in the mini sub

Everything in the mini sub

Did you say that was the mini sub?? I have a mini sub coming but Ive only seen teasers of the full sized. Awesome! And kinda sad about the Spectrum...

I got my GDE OTM today and my freebies were Shots of Cyanide and Till Death. SoC is so freaking mind-blowingly beautiful and the actual OTM colors are SO sparkly and perfect. I am tremendously thankful I was able to get a sub this month.

I made a batch of Rice Krispie treats and all I could think was Ghost Puffs!

I NEED to have the GDE Halloween collection in my life.  

 

[chibimorph]

so I know there was some discussion about this earlier, but what about posting a "facts only" thread on IMAM for VDC orders?  as in, ppl will only comment on when the order was placed and whether they have received it, or whether they asked for a refund.  Example:

randomuser 1 point 1 hour ago

Date of order: Aug 10

order received: y/n (pick one)

tracking number issued: (add date here)

tracking number reissued: (if applicable)

refund requested: y/n and date of request

refund received: y/n, and the date it was received if applicable

I know it's really tricky posting on IMAM with these sorts of complaints because they could literally cause a company to go out of business, but this may be a way to get a better idea of what's going on with VDC TAT, refunds, who actually got their orders so far (I know a few people have and they posted about it). Any discussion with another user about their experience would be limited to PMs.  I would start the thread myself but I haven't ordered from VDC so it doesn't make sense for me to do so.

I have a variation of this drafted. I'm going to ask the IMAM mods if it's okay to post it; and if it does get posted please respond to the thread!

Shots of Cyanide was one of my freebies too!  I can't wait to see how it looks with Silent Samurai from this month's NM VC!!!

VD responded to my second facebook message saying that my order was accidentally put into the refund pile, that she repacked it last night, and I will get shipping info once it gets sent out. I'm too soft-hearted, I'm feeling pangs of guilt now.

 

[tacehtpuekam]

Oh, GDE. You know the way to my wallet (and heart, obviously). I'm on a quest to snag Guillotine Dreams and then I was just going to grab more Glitter Fix & Foil Me. But now I see there are blushes. And glitter. !!!!!!!!

You shouldn't I can't imagine how there is a problem with EVERY SINGLE ORDER...

So, I got my CP order and I'm more overwhelmed with everything now than trying to pick out scents. There are some definite winners (Cinderella's Carriage and Coconut Pecan Bundt Cake - both are major yum!), a few I don't think I like (Honey Cinnamon Rolls and Mad Hatter Cookies Noel) and the rest I'm not sure about! Full Moon smells just like crunch berries. Haunted Carnival is really awesome but I'm glad it's a linen spray and not a body product. There's lots of different labels and fonts and packaging if that matters to anyone. There is a LOT going on in these scents, so I think I have to wear them for awhile and see what I think.

Edited to add pic. My order on the left, fall sampler on the right, free samples in the middle.

At first I didn't realize there were free samples! These are really generous!
