Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[SillyNoodle]

I got my first HoG order today. I have mixed feelings about it... What I got:

Fancy Bread whipped soap: This smells amazing. I just want to smear it all over myself. Definitely my favorite thing I ordered!

Peppermint Sugar Cookie lip balm: This is super moisturizing. I wish the peppermint smell was stronger than the cookie smell, but I still like it.

Wintervale sugar scrub: I really don't know what to make of this. I can pick up a bit of the fresh mint smell, but that is about it.

Snow Wolf pumpkin butter: I'm super bummed about this one. It smells dreadful. It reminds me of a office building or school that was just cleaned with chemicals and too much Pine-Sol.

Rosy Cheeked free perfume sample: This smells super good. It smells like just fresh berries yet manages to still have a wintery feeling to it.

I ordered a perfume of Plotters Breakfast, but it was missing. I also noticed that my Wintervale scrub is mislabeled as a pumpkin butter. Not a huge deal obviously, but it caused me some confusion when I first examined everything lol.

So yeah, mixed feelings leaning towards "meh". The Fancy Bread whipped soap is the only thing I truly love. I think I'm just overly disappointed with the Snow Wolf pumpkin butter because it was the thing I was excited for the most. It isn't even usable for me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I think next time I place an order I will just go with Fancy Bread everything  :smilehappyyes:

Girl, you need some fancy bread.

One of my last orders had a Fancy Bread sample and it does indeed smell amazing!

Girl, you need some fancy bread.

I need ALL the fancy bread!! It's sold out in everything but full sized oil so I think I'm sort of in the clear until restock time, which isn't til the end of the month, right?

You guys, seriously try Sweet Potato Treat.

I'm so anxious to get mine /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I haven't even gotten shipping confirmations, but I think it's because I made 2 different orders and then the Ghost Puffs stuff on top of that. When it comes, it will be a GREAT day.

End of next week. They haven't set a date yet, but said they will announce when they know for sure.

Wooohooooo!!!

For the sake of their sanity, I *really* hope it's before Black Friday since they're going to have BF stuff for that.  No discounts, but things only available on that day (or maybe the whole weekend, because Cyber Monday).

Oh I've been meaning to mention, I received my NM Grisly Grimoires, it was very late, but because I also ordered some of the Coffin Kissers which she was out of the tubes, my order was later than she had hoped. On my invoice was a very nice note and a code for $10 off my next purchase, so I am very happy with how that was handled. Also the Coffin Kisser tubes are round for mine, don't know if this is a permanent change or not.

And my HoG order came, everything smells wonderful, one problem. They forgot all of my perfumes. No sample either, so I assume maybe it was put into a bag, and then just never included. I've emailed them, really disappointed though because as a blogger time is of the essence for some reviews. I could have had this review up by tomorrow, but now I will have to wait on these perfumes, and it may cost me page views. Not a huge deal, but it bugs me. I don't know how many times I've received orders where I'm missing items. I'm just getting sick of it, can't my orders just be right for once?

I just got my shipping today (I really thought I was going to have to wait forever!) and I got a Sweet Potato Treat pumpkin butter that I'm looking forward to! Hopefully I get it soon so I know if I need to stock up during the restock!

I got my HoG order today too! Just a few perfume samples and 2 lip balms. I haven't tested anything yet though.

I don't know how, and fingers crossed it's not a fluke, but I just snagged a GDE OTM one month. There are a few of the single shadows (with no extras) listed if anyone's interested.

 

[BSquared]

I got one too!!! Super excited!!

Unrelated: anyone ever order from alchemia apothecary? Thoughts?

 

[meaganola]

GDE OTM heads up:  We do have a thread dedicated to this sub!  It's over here, and if you go there, you don't need to mess with spoiler tags:

Edit 2: Well, I HAVE ordered from them, apparently, LOL, but I haven't gotten even an order confirmation. I was thinking of a DIFFERENT shop, gah, so many to keep straight!

Hmmmm interesting. Ordered like a long time ago and haven't gotten anything or recent?

It's as @@ohsailor said. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> But I am getting really confused, because a search for Alchemia Apothecary re-directs to Alchimia Apothecary, but I have also ordered from Alkemia Apothecary, so are you meaning one of these two, or is there a third (which I haven't ordered from, LOL)
