Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[Amber McCarley]

Today was a good mail day!

I got the Beauty Bar Baby Halloween collection and OMG I nearly died at how cute the presentation is. Seriously....its freaking adorable. (with tiny spider toys inside too!) Ill post photos in a bit.

My I+TA sub came today too and good golly there are tons of items in this. Wow!

and lastly Notoriously Morbid forgot an item for me last shipment (stuff happens, no big deal) and my replacement "They All Float" came today, with a really sweet apology note, a handful of candies AND a free Koffin Kisser in Rotten Rainbow! (I could never have enough of these, I swear....)

Birthday Mail day was win! (Tomorrow should be win too) *happy dance* Such a happy day!

I got my first one not that long ago, and I love them. I think I need them all...

I feel like VDC should consider doing what Detrivore did with Shiro and finding a distributor so she only has to focus on making more stock and not fulfilling and mailing orders.

The last I heard, Ashley is not actually making the shadows themselves because she doesn't have the proper permits from the state of Florida yet. Stock was/is still being sent from wherever she moved from (Illinois?). So, really, she apparently packing jars into envelopes, generating postage, and dropping them off at the post office, not blending shadows and putting them in jars as well.

Well I got a reply after saying I made an FTC complaint. She said she would "repack" the order for the second time. And now she mentions that she's out of one of the colors I ordered, so I asked for enough samples to equate a full size since it was in stock when I ordered. She is now "packing" my order now. I'll believe it when I see updated tracking. But it just goes to prove that she never did ship my order if she is now all of a sudden out of something. Makes so much sense now.

well that's what I mean - she seems to have problems packing and mailing orders on time from everything I've read.  And she doesn't seem to have good records of her orders and what's been completed.

Wait. What? She if she's not making the shadows and she's not packing/mailing the shadows...what is she doing? Perplexing.

At the risk of feeling like a b!tch, my answer to what is she doing would be

"spending other peoples money..."

This. I stick by everything i said about this woman, and the way she's sooo nice and makes sooo many excuses as if nothing is ever her fault and then makes the CUSTOMERS feel guilty for even asking?? Yeah, I'm sorry, but she needs to close down shop for good. It's a shame because her colors are so beautiful.

 

[ohsailor]

has anyone ever done a Rocky Horror Picture SHow or Simpsons collection? I'd also like The Collection About Nothing (Seinfeld!)

 

[tacehtpuekam]

@@ohsailor Darling Girl is doing a 'Who' themed collection for Christmas. I'm thinking that might include some Grinchy things!

Lunatik Cosmetics has really been getting me on Instagram lately with all the reposts of ladies wearing their shadows and lippies. I just love their lip products and cute lil' coffin palettes! It's too bad they're one of the more expensive indies out there, but their quality looks like the real deal. 

Coven Cream, London Bridge, and the Relic Palette all set my heart aflutter. <3

One more thing: A tip for what I do with my indie blushes...

I sprinkle the TINIEST BIT into my hourglass powder and swirl it around (make sure it's a tiny bit!!) and it sort of becomes like the Hourglass blushes, with not too much pigmentation, and it doesn't mess up my Hourglass Ambient powders at all (i just swoosh around a little bit more if there's any extra pink on my powder).

OMG this is genius. Trying tomorrow!!

SEINFELD!!!!!!!!! Omg I would die for a Kramer shadow.

I have really, really been wanting a Rent! collection.

OMG yes rent! Rent like changed my life, i saw it the first time with the original traveling cast when I was like 14 maybe? Something about it just really spoke to me and it's still one of my favorite things ever!

I have been super tempted by them too but it's just hard to spend that much money when other stuff is so much cheaper. Maybe I'll ask Mr. B to order me some stuff for Xmas

It's not makeup but Glam Polish has a Sleepy Hallow collection coming out.
