Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[Allison H]

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

That's actually not a bad idea. I did this inquiring about one of the autumn perfumes, and they're adding it to my order (whenever it's ready to ship). /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

What did the Black Violet GWP or whatever it was end up being?

Glamour Doll Eyes shadow, hydra glaze, & glitter fix!

Spoiler

ETA: The GWP is sold out but you can still get 10% off until the end of the day I think.

From now on, the next time something like this is going on- a special deal, a sub (if they let you buy two), etc- can I Paypal someone the night before and they get it for me? I AM ALWAYS AT WORK. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I didn't bat an eye at the Black Violet shipping because I had never ordered from them before, plus I recently shipped a bunch of stuff that was probably around the weight of what I ordered that cost *more* to ship than I was being charged -- and then I got home and discovered a $6 refund!  Yay!

And the GWP was apparently gone in under an hour!  I apparently (I don't remember doing this, but it totally sounds like something I would do) described exactly this color and wished that an indie made it right after these were shipped off to BV (and I had no clue any of this was even going on, so *very* coincidental stuff here), so it's kind of like I wished it into being after the fact.  I'm super excited to see it in person!  I had a very similar MAC shadow that I tossed in The Purge, so my collection is missing an icy violet, and since I have brown eyes and go on frosty pastel kicks, this is a *huge* gap.  The 10% discount (code:  BLACKVIOLETDAY) is still valid through Sunday night, though.

And in Hello Waffle Visage news, man, I tell ya, every day I wear that collection, I like it a little bit more!  Soft romantic colors are *not* my usual thing, but I can already tell it's going to be hard to put them away when the December collection gets here -- and I *will* put them away when it gets here because that's just how I deal with monthly collections since I get more every month!

Also, is anyone else still waiting for a Haus of Gloi shipping confirmation?

I'm still waiting on a shipping confirmation, and I believe a few other ladies are also still waiting.

What I think is odd is that I ordered at the beginning of the sale at Black Violet, around the same time FB posts were mentioning overcharges on shipping, but I was only charged $3.54? I only ordered perfume oils, though, no body products so maybe that was why?

I did get my shipping for HoG, but it won't be here until Monday, total sad face. In a similar vein, Debaucherous created my shipping label on the 11th, but that's it, no movement. Seriously, folks weren't kidding when they said it could take a month or more to get your items. Unless they are magical rainbow unicorn tear perfumes, I won't order from DB again.

I know at least myself and one other person are having the same issue with Debaucherous...label created and no movement since. I'm only about an hour south of her, lol I'd like to just drive up and get it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm waiting on Debaucherous for a certain... special... gift, so I can't send this.. special gift... until it gets here, which adds another layer of stress.

Just email her and tell her it's for a gift, and that you would like it actually sent, and not just a label printed for it.

Ha ha, I did notice she added a disclaimer in her shop that busy periods could take up to 21 days (Debaucherous). I KNOW she mentioned busy periods before but I am certain that the 21 days part is new. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ETA: OH! I forgot to mention my Alchimia Apothecary Collection of Grimm came today. Okay, they seriously need to label their stuff better, my gosh. Literally the only thing with the company name was a business card inside.

Anyways, I can't wait to finish guinea-pigging these for y'all - they are fun. I am really excited. :smilehappyyes:

Do not like, packaging is super important to me for first impressions...

My Debaucherous order was sent Monday, and barring my mail carrier being eaten by a troll who lives under a bridge will be here later today. Aside from the tracking appearing for a few days to be stuck in the third station of its journey (somewhere in California) there were no issues with with updating.

On the other hand, STILL waiting on notification from HoG. I know they were having some issues, but unless I read wrong I thought that stuff was to have been taken care of toward the tail end of this week.

I emailed black violet about the shipping and she said USPS was not calculating shipping properly. Some people were undercharged, and some were overcharged but she's checking them all and sending refunds in the case of overcharging. I haven't received a refund yet, not sure if I will get one or not but $10 does not see right for what I ordered.

One of my Darling Girl orders is out for delivery! 

Walkers, Bitten, We're All Infected, & Moondust Diamond Dust. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 
I've been dying to get my hands on Walkers since people have been posting swatches. SO PRETTY. 

ETA: Ugh, nevermind. Mail is here & no DG package.

Mine is out for delivery, too, but I'm not sure I will be able to get it because my stairs are completely iced over!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I want it ASAP, but I don't want it badly enough to risk broken bones.

My Savor order should be delivered today <3

I went a little overboard with the Black Violet sale yesterday. I got full sizes of snow white tea, celebration, yuzu cookies, and gold rush (which I got in the GDE OTM and tried, and I love it). All of them are limited edition/wildflowers, and I haven't tried 3 of them, so we'll see how it turns out. It charged me $7.87 for shipping, which seemed high, but then I got a refund of $3.37 within a few hours.

I'm not in love with the GWP eyeshadow shade, so depending on what it looks like when I see it in person, it might end up on my trade list.

I ordered a few days after the Yule release and haven't heard anything yet.
