Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[Kelly Silva]

Does anyone know how long it takes Haus of Gloi to respond to a customer service question sent to their email?  I have sent several emails (1 per week for 3 weeks) asking if they are using a specific ingredient in the products I am interested in.  I am mildly allergic to ingredients in some of their products and want to ensure the products I buy do not have that ingredient.

Which product? I can probably check my labels for you. But which email did you send it to? I have received responses within 1-2 days.

Yay, it's time to rotate the Halloweenie perfume oil out of my daily use bag and add Yules! The ones I'm immediately making sure to move into daily use (all BPAL):

• Noche Buena 2010 -- A celebration of the Nativity: the light, uplifting incense of the Misa de Noche Buena, purple sage, and a vibrant bouquet of plumeria, chrysanthemum, tuberose, Angel's Trumpet, Mexican tiger lily, dahlia, and azucenas. (I am *not* a floral person, but I absolutely love this one.)
• The School -- In the corner of a desolate, dismal schoolhouse, all lonely stone walls, beeswax, and dusty wooden writing desks, stirs the scent of gold coins hidden in forest outside Baghdad, waves crashing against the hull of a Salé pirate ship, the lofty halls of Pépin le Bossu’s court, and a wild child’s home in the woods. (Based on A Christmas Carol. I love that stone note!)
• Rose Red 2010 -- The perfected winter rose, dew covered and freshly cut. (This is one of my favorite rose scents! My nose picks up a hint of raspberry that other years don't have. It has a companion Yule oil most people love but that I can't stand called Snow White. It's very similar to Midsummer Dreams Apothecary's Beauty, but it's a bit bolder and juicier, possibly due to aging.)
• Hod Resurrected -- This one has no notes provided, but it's a creamy spicy carnation, maybe with a bit of amber. It was a general catalog scent that was discontinued years ago, but it was brought back one year for the Lab's anniversary (hence "Resurrected"), but I got it during Yule season, so it's a Yule season scent to me. It is *gorgeous*. I really need to wear this one more often because I have a whole unopened bottle in addition to a half-bottle in a rollerball!

Hmm... I seem to be going sweeter with my scent choices during this time. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

All of the ingredients are on the site, so the labels won't have any different information.  If it's a specific scent note, though, they may consider that proprietary information they won't divulge.

Thanks

I sent it to [email protected]   

I just won't worry about it for now as I should be on a low buy and they are out of stock in the butterbombs I was interested in.

Aromaleigh Sol Invictus is up!

 

[Shalott]

Oh lordy, okay, Black Violet order placed, waiting on DarlingClandestine and then if I have the funds (ha ha) I'm going to get the full size Sol Invictus colors I want, even though my sample set hasn't arrived yet. My poor wallet is on fire this morning...

Does anyone know of any indies that make a product similar to the Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders?

Pumpkin&Poppy's Inner Glow powders are supposed to be very similar.

Speaking of Pumpkin and Poppy...does anyone have the Oak Bark countour?  I want to try it because of the rave reviews.  But I am not sure if it will work with my skin tone.  She doesn't sell samples.  I would love to purchase a small sample off of someone if you own it and would be willing to split out just enough for me to try.

If you don't get anyone, I'm planning on buying it after Christmas if I don't get it as a gift, and I'd be willing to sample it for you then.

Can we not (but yes kind of actually) talk about the damage that was done at the different fragrance sales this morning? I can't say what all I got but I frikken pulled that trigger on the DarlingClandestine Winter scents, and I am glad I did. She added Tiny Ice Bees while I was checking out, but I got like, everything else, including The Moon is Leaving For the Wheels which I feel I will prefer to Tiny Ice Bees as it is.

Anyone else snag anything exciting? I am going to have so many new scents I won't know what to do with them all!

Between DC and BV I am way too ashamed to admit to what all I purchased...

The HoG lip balms I wanted are sold out. I'm gonna go and cry a bit now.

Maybe they'll be added with their restock? It's supposedly coming up soon (I don't think a date or time has been given though), but I dunno if you want to deal with the HoG restock rush.

 

[meaganola]

I forget what I got, but I'm kind of regretting not picking up Yule Nog from Black Violet (the only purchase I made because Stardust!) because I'm in the mood for that sort of scent. Oops, wait, I have several decants of BPAL Egg Nog from various years. Now I just have to remember to dig it out!

Haha well I wanted the mocha one the most, but its no longer available because it was autumn. Th vanilla chai will most likely be restocked. Upon hearing reviews I'm less likely to order some stuff during the madness though. If I get stuff I do if not than oh well /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Shalott]

I did pick up a mini of Yule Nog - it was the first nog-scent (LOL) that appealed to me so far, so I figured I'd give it a go. :smilehappyyes:

you should email them!!! They sometimes have overstock of seasonal stuff that they don't put on the site.

I should not have went to Black Violet. *grabby hands* wants all
