Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[tacehtpuekam]

I ordered the whole thing full size. I'm a recent NBC fan and I like the full size for the art alone. But imo I think if you wanted to try it sample sizes would be fine since the artwork labels seem especially low quality on mine. Though honestly, I haven't swatched or tried any of it yet. I'll have a full review with swatches up on Halloween though. And hopefully when I do the swatches I can post some here when that eventually gets done. 

Thanks! The only swatches I've seen so far are of the pressed palette & I have a feeling the loose shadows are going to be a little bit different.

I love NBC too & kind of wanted it for the artwork, but I know I'll never use a full size! But maybe I'll order minis & just try to make my own stickers for the tops?  :blink:

@@elizabethrose, did HoG let you keep the two perfumes?? I just got a sample of Olde Cider Haus and it's lovely! I already have the pumpkin butter version and am stoked to try it in perfume form. Pumpkin Eater is also one of my faves, even tho it doesn't last too long on me. Great for layering tho!

Swatches coming soon I promise!! Here's the proof!! It came with a sharpie on top which was very random lol

I am just hopelessly optimistic sometimes. 

Got a response last night from VD that said she was repacking my order & would send me tracking within 48 hours. Then I got a message this morning that said she repacked it already, had the tracking number, & would bring it to the post office this afternoon. YAY! Well, it's almost 7:30 EST & the tracking still just says 'shipping label created.' 

Le sigh. I just want my Harry Potter pretties. <_<

The Sharpie is "prison eyeliner", I think. Wasn't that on the show?

Okay gals, I'm ready to go deeper in the indie rabbit hole. I've tried all of the well-knowns we talk about most often here. Any others I should try?

Come on Catssic Literature!  Mama NEEDS a pick-me-up!

I do hope that there's an option to hold orders til the lippies come out if shadows/lippies don't come out together, I'd so prefer not to have to pay shipping twice, but I won't be able to live without Jane Pawsten in my life (if that's one of the colors she goes with!)

Also, I have told two friends about the collection over the past week and they both made the EXACT SAME JOKE.

"Sounds like that's right up your alley... cat!"  Boo.... hisssss    :rotfl:

Ooooo yeah that makes sense!! I was like "why did I get a sharpie?"

I think it's a cute touch, but I'm cringing a bit at the idea of anyone actually using it. I mean, I think my Eyeko is hard enough to get off! :lol:

It's going to be a permanent part of her line.  So if holding is not an option you can just wait to order.  Or emial Christine and ask her to hold it.  She's super receptive to things like that.

I don't know if you have tried Life's Entropy yet, BUT.....(wait for this)....she has announced on her Facebook page that she has been able to almost dupe the NARS audacious lipsticks.  Pics looked pretty good.  Hoping those will be out soon.

I think sometimes the scans don't process until during the night.

Ok quick and messy swatches because our new water heater came and I need a shower!!

Spoiler

first is without flash, second is with. Glitters are pennsatucky and red obviously. Pennsatucky is way less patchy than it looks in the photo, it has a pink and silver base that looks opaque. Red is kinda patchy.

I never know what way MUT is going to turn my photos so from closest to my wrist to the top of my hand:

Taystee girl: so effing pretty and I thought I was going to hate this. Light blue but the pink shift is strong and it is so pretty.

Squat and cough: light purple with a strong gold shift, you can see the shift in the flash photo better, love this!

Marzipan nipples: mmeeeehhhhhh! Not BAD but it's a pink with some glitter in it. Not my fave.

The swirl: bronzey deliciousness! LOVE!

Duct tape couture: sooooo pretty. Looks brown in the pot, comes out such a pretty purple, I am in love!

Overall I'm happy! I may swap a few colors but overall it's cute!

They did! I get to keep them! Olde Cider Haus is lovely! What do you layer Pumpkin Eater with? I'll have to try!

Hopefully! When I send trades, the tracking always at least updates to show that the post office received the item. But maybe her post office is different? 

I just really don't want to have to send anymore messages/e-mails.

I have but that sounds divine! Thank you!

I got my CocoaPink order! 12 drams, 6 samples. I've gone through three so far and like all of them but Cinderella's Carriage is GORGEOUS!
