I am going to get

samples `  hearth

full size ` snow wolf, three treasures. rosy cheeked. wintervale and plotters breakfast

butterbombs - silver fir, sugar plum

I want lip balms - but am on a no-buy lip balm

yeah!!  I cannot wait
Mmmmm, good choices!! I might add a sample of wintervale in my mix. And tho I have so many lipbalms, let's be real, I'm going to pick up another one. 

Ugh, I wish I had a bath so I could get in on the butterbombs!

 
Why. I figured I wasn't going to like anything from the Yule release...but no. I want it all!!! Bye bye no-buy

 
Hearth - whipped soap.
Snow Wolf - perfume sample, pumpkin butter
Fancy Bread - perfume sample, pumpkin butter


Plotters Breakfast - perfume sample, pumpkin butter



Chai and Rosy Lips Balms!
 
This isn't terrible! I'll probably ditch one or two of the pumpkin butters and try to grab *something* in an emulsifying scrub.





 
Hmm I'm relieved that nothing from Yule is a must-have for me.  Maybe a few of the butterbombs if I can manage but nothing else is calling me. 

 
I wanted to mention that the items missing from my original VD order have processed through the post office, so hopefully once that arrives I can finally be done with the company.

 
@@BSquared your VD saga is seriously the most ridiculous of them all. It enrages me. 

In regards to HoG....my poor, poor wallet. 

My problem with bath/body products is that I like to layer myself in the same scent. So, I always like to have shower gel or soap, lotion, and perfume or spray. And preferably scrub! It gets expensive. 

Snow Wolf and Wintervale are absolute must haves. Hearth & Fancy Bread are probablies. Rosie Cheeked & Eggnogin are maybes. And the others I'll probably atleast get in perfume samples so I can smell them. 

 
Double postni' 

1. I wish I could enjoy butters and scented lotions and all that, but my psoriasis makes it impossible :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I get away with perfumes and fragranced soaps (the soaps on special occasions), but otherwise they make my skin break out in it :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

2. Tomorrow is that Hello Waffle thing, right? 

 
Oh my wallet. My poor sad wallet. I'm going to try for HW. I'm always down for some indie madness. And HoG. I don't even know what to do.

In other news, I broke out my Shiro NBC shadows for the first time and am now watching the movie to celebrate.

Hey, at least I haven't been waiting since JANUARY like someone at imam. Still LAME.
And YES THIS! I feel like my soap can't clash with my lotion but who wants boring unscented soap?? I'm going to try to stick to mini sizes and I'm half way contemplating skipping this initial release in hopes of a restock....with the sephora sale coming there's some mainstream stuff I legit need whereas I don't NEED any body stuff right now....and I figure there will be at least one restock before Christmas....hopefully.

I recently got on the Haus of Gloi bandwagon (thanks enablers!) so I haven't experienced a release yet--do new products go super fast like some other companies?

 
just got shipping confirmation for my HoG order which was placed yesterday!! 

 I was going to order a full sized Elevenses perfume oil and a few sample sized perfume oils I've been wanting to try but was turned off when I went on their site and saw the current TAT.  Now I'm tempted to order though... Hmm...  :unsure2:

eta:  Who am I kidding.  I ordered it.  Hoping I have good luck with quick shipping as well!

Desperately trying to not snark in the VD future-of-the-company survey.  What I really think she should do:  A subscription, with a set number of slots.  Figure out how many packages she can get sent out over the course of, say, four days.  Prepare that many sets of whatever she's sending that particular month and have it all ready to just slap on the labels *before she opens the subs for signups*.  Other companies (NM) can handle getting subs ready after the signup window, but I don't think she can.

In semi-related news, I just watched a video review of the October i+ta sub, and the person received the sample version -- but she received clamshells.  I also receive the sample sub, but I received jars.  I even checked to see what the full-sized sub looked like because I thought I received the wrong one, but those jars looked different from what I ended up with, so I figured she just sent out larger jars for the sample people since the sub was going on hiatus.  And now I've found a review that said that the blogger contacted Linda because the blogger was also expecting clamshells, and Linda said she's trying jars this month.  Wacky.
