Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

So, it sounds like Hello Waffle is going to be doing a monthly subscription starting in November...!

My wallet quivers at this news (with excitement or terror I'm not quite sure...)

 

[tacehtpuekam]

Um yeah, basically this! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

I'm sure it's going to be pretty limited like every other indie subscription, but I really really hope I can snag one!

I got in my first ever Aromaleigh order today!  I bought the onsale Ever in your Favor collection in samples and I got 3 other samples to try!

Spoiler

So sad my VC did not show up today!  As of 5:28pm it states "Undeliverable as addressed."  Um pretty sure I have lived here 2 years and the one last month was delivered just fine!  USPS is up to some shenanigans!  Good thing I am off on Saturday so I can stalk the mailman to see what's up!

Okay this has nothing to do with makeup, but I thought y'all would appreciate this. My  boyfriend's troll status has reached new highs. Yesterday I came home and THIS JERK was waiting for me, staring sexily and yet so punchable:

(Also, we've already made a game of moving him and seeing who can scare one another the most)

Got my VC today and wow it is gorgeous! Probably my favorite to date. Officer Friendly is my favorite, but Silent Samurai is so gorgeous is gives me chills. I can't wait to try them on my eyes! :wub:

 

[Kelly Silva]

@@ohsailor OMG can you have him send me one? Lol I would LOVE to scare my bf with that!

Back on topic, my Hello Waffle replacements finally arrived! This was just some stuff missing from the birthday celebration order. So yay finally here and I can play and swatch!

Any recommendations for an indie lip stain? I'm looking for something like theBalm Staniac or Benefit Benetint.

Okay, so it is not a su, just something that will go live on the first of the month(s).  

From Christine: "Between $15-20 depending on what's in the box. This month I have three eyeshadows, a blush, and a lip product so it will be $20 plus shipping. Depending on the response, I may open up two different sizing tiers"

She will have 25 of them for November.  *sigh*  I think she has underestimated demand...

​ETA: Monthly boxes will have products for the whole face (eyes, lips and face) and will feature a product from one other brand.

Well I'm not holding my breath for getting one of those...

And here is one that's more of a cream, but I can vouch for it wearing quite nicely: https://www.etsy.com/listing/90770994/lip-cheek-stain-5-oz?ref=sr_gallery_1&ga_search_query=lip+and+cheek+stain&ga_ref=auto4&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery

Frak I feel like all I do anymore is ask questions, but it's SO DIFFICULT for me to keep track of some of these brands- who is doing the Saw collection and when is it released again? I tried to go back but I'm having a hard time finding it.

Uh...  25?  My prediction:  It will sell out in under a minute.  And website go *boom*.

Ah, darn. That stinks. Well, I'll still try to get one! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It's out today

Oh, I just caught this part.  Uh...  The Notoriously Morbid Vanishing Cabinet lasted TWO WHOLE MONTHS before we broke the website upon its release, and then it was converted to a sub because of the crush.  I'm not even going to bother trying for this since it's not a sub. 

And speaking of the VC, in case anyone wanted the shade descriptions, since I happened to have them saved (and a note:  Officer Friendly was tweaked a bit between the preview with the Dark Cheshire collection and the release):

"Cherokee Rose": A delicate, dusty rose semi-matte with gold shimmer.
"Pray I'm Dead": A weathered moss green with gold sparks. Think Daryl Dixon after rolling around in the woods a bit.

"Officer Friendly": A spice brown with purple, green and gold sparks and a pearl finish.

"Silent Samurai": A lapis/violet with such a strong cerulean shift and so much blue sparkle, it's the one shadow you'd carry with you during the zombie apocalypse.

This VC also includes a Phantom Glam Glitter in "Just Another Monster." Poor Carl. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And the Coffin Kisser "Feeling Alive"; a Georgia Peach Cobbler flavor.
We like to imagine Glenn and Maggie settling down and growing big juicy Georgia peaches in another life.

Haha well if someone will tell me what the grown up equivalent is, maybe I will stop saying that /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It's probably inappropriate to wear Shiro's Red Wedding gloss to an actual wedding, right?  All things considered? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
