You're all such enablers!! I just made three orders for places that weren't even on my radar!!!

Today was a GREAT mail day. I received:

3 Sephora boxes 

1 Ulta box

1 Nordstrom box

AND MOST IMPORTANT

1 HoG order (yaaaaay- I still wish I had gotten my hands on Ghost Puffs hair oil & whipped soap. I WILL NEVER BE OVER THIS!!)

1 GIANT Dawn Eyes Cosmetics order- SO FAST. She's also so friendly. I'm a big fan.

1 Shiro order- *eating candies that accompanied it now*

1 Life's Entropy order

1 Super secret order 

Let's just say it was a great day for both myself AND my elfie. 

 
My free samples from my HoG order were Ghost Puffs and Eggnoggin! Eggnoggin smells soooooo good! I will definitely be needing a pumpkin butter of it. Ghost puffs isn't my favorite but in glad I got to try it.

 
Got bf to wear HoG The Horseman today! And by "got him to" I mean I put it on him while he was playing video games and couldn't stop me mwahahahaha!!!
I got lucky with my bf. All I have to do is say I like a certain smell a lot and he'll just give in and wear it. I got him into wearing lotion...maybe I'll have to order something from HoG for him. Do they even have scents now that leans toward the masculine side?

From the GC:  Haus Amber, Apocathery, Picaroon, and maybe Satyr depending on how the dude feels about Creamsicles.  Amber, vetiver, Bay rum, and sandalwood are solidly unisex -- if not straight-up masculine -- notes, and I think the "blackened" note in Satyr is vetiver, which pulls it over to guy-friendly.  In the Yule release, Snow Wolf looks solidly dudefume.  Three Treasures, Wintervale, and Rosy Cheeked have unisex potential.

 
I still have 2 outstanding VD orders from September. Does anybody else? And is this the appropriate venue to politely vent or should I just sit quietly and look at my other pretties? Lol.

 
I still have one outstanding order. I've been in contact with her about it. I have received new tracking and a picture of the package but the tracking hasn't updated. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Still no July order. She sent me a PM 4 days ago asking me if I want a refund instead. I take that to mean it's still not done. I said no. I want my damn order.

 
I was so, so close to making a Solstice Scents order but decided that since I basically like pretty much the same thing in all perfumes, I don't need to order a different company's version of the same song and dance.  :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I;m sad, but holding the thought of HoG Yule tight to keep me going, LOL.

ETA: And my Hello Waffle Catssic Literature order came today! OMG the jars are so cute with their jar art (Edgar Allan Prrr is my favorite. Soo cute!)  and the sample of It's A Catastrophe is gorgeous! Christine was super kind and sent the sample anyways, even though I am a dingbat who removed an item from my cart at the last minute and didn't realize I didn't meet the $25 minimum anymore. I can't wait to wear these, and I will try to take swatch pictures later, when I take the covers off the sifters!

I'm holding off on all "scent" items, until I see how much I can snag from HoG. Solstice Scents has some great sounding scents, as does Alchemic Muse (she posted her scents on Facebook...I'd add them, but I'm on my cell currently). Anyway, I hope I have lots of luck with HoG! :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Uuuunnngggghhh, trying to resist Solstice Scents until tomorrow when I see how I make out with HoG Yule. What time does it go live?? 

 
Okay, so my hubby works tonight but he is Irish on his biological dad's side, so he likes to celebrate Irish traditions which means I am making soda bread for All Saint's Day even though he won't be home at dinnertime. ALL THAT to say while I was waiting I edited a lovely (ha ha) swatch of the Catssic Literature colors I got. Below the cut, with my thoughts.

I am LOVING Hisster Prynne and The Great Catsby (which has a lovely green duochrome that my crappy cell camera didn't pick up, as usual). I thought Edgar Allan Prrr was supposed to have a shift as well, but I don't see it at all? Or I could have been mistaken. It certainly has ton of sparkle! It also has my favorite of the label art, look at that little raven on his head! :wub: P&P was purchased solely on principle, being one of my favorite books. Not my favorite color and one I won't wear often, but how cute is it? :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Favorite though? It's a Catastrophe. It is redder than my camera picked up, with a gorgeous sheen - just the kind of color I reach for on a daily basis. I am so, so happy I was able to get that one! But based on these guys I will definitely go back for more of the collection, once the Holidays have calmed down!
