Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[MIKAGlam]

I'm going to cry. Two of my indie jar containers for knocked over and the majority of my brilliant deductions collection and others spilled out. Those lids are not tight. I am just beyond upset right now.

I picked up the mess. Most survived. my Shiro Seven Kingsoms took the biggest hit. I'm glad they were only sample jars, but still. Samples last me forever. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Also: My luck would have it be the darkest colors possible. It couldn't have been a nice neutral easy to clean color. It has to be the blacks.

That sucks about all the HoG waiting. I got my order probably after a week of placing it.

VC shipping, and I finally got shipping for my Nov. 3rd Haus of Gloi order.  The only think I'm upset about, it won't be here in time for me to decide if I need to get anything at the restock.  The only thing I really missed out on is Wintervale, and I can do without if that's the only thing I would be buying.  Looks like I might be skipping the restock.

My Visage from HW arrived yesterday.  Am I the only one that is disappointed with the lip theory?  It is like my lips but blah-er.  And it felt like it should be a little more pink to fit in with the theme of the box.  I ended up putting NM's Serannian Dreams Lipcraft on top of it though.  Then it became pretty magical.  But on it's own...yuck.

Same. I thought it looked pretty in the tube but after I put it on I immediately wiped it off.

I absolutely hated it at first, but the more I wear it, the more I like it. And it's making me want a handful of lip theories in various shades to do color tweaking, but that's going to have to wait until next year.

I feel like I'm stalking you thru each thread...lol.

But yea, I thought it settled into my lip lines. I'll try it with the full face later.

Yay I got both of my shipping emails from HoG. Squeeeee. So excited to get them!

I'm going to TRY and be good and just get a few perfume samples tomorrow during the HoG restock....but we'll see.

I'm getting two things for Secret Santa & I SWEAR that's all. 

But I mean, if some Wintervale happened to slip into my cart, it wouldn't be the end of the world..

Are there any Wicked fans here?

I just realized that Siren Song Cosmetics released a Wicked collection a bit over a week ago (and the lid art for the full-sizes looks awesome - it's done by the same artist who did the art for Shiro's Earth's Mightiest Heroes collection):

At long last I received my HoG shipping notice...and a refund of $8.50! The last time I got an order of comparable size (2 oils, 2 bubbling scrubs, 2 lip balms--except the last had no lippies) I was refunded maybe two bucks. I devoutly hope to have it by the weekend, assuming Buffalo does not get a second pummeling of snow. I already have a huge Birchbox order, Sephora, Amazon, a special Yule dress and The Complete Batman series from Barnes and Noble stuck because of this storm.

I did, however, receive my Alchemic Muse order (the carrier couldn't be bothered to leave the dress, just threw the little box of perfume into the breezeway with a slip to go pick up the dress, the schmuck.) I really, REALLY hope Loukoum is actually permanent--Etsy says it's limited edition but I have seen reviews from 2009. It's absolutely gorgeous and I just want more of it. And Kama Sutra is a sensual delight, provided you appreciate patchouli--that's one of those things you love or hate, it's one of my favorite notes of all. And with it came a big hunk of Lemon Biscotti soap; all I can say is, they need to make a perfume of that!

I'm going for a Parkin perfume and a Hearth perfume... already have them in my cart, just in and out to snag some Whipped Soap, and maaayybe something for my Santee. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> But that's it, HoG gets no more of my money this year! :lol:

Edit: I realized it is hard to make sense when you're just missing big chunks of your thought process, LOL.

If anyone was thinking of ordering from Fyrinnae for Secret Santa and was worried about TAT (states 3-4 weeks on their website) I placed an order on 11/16/14 and got a shipping notice today.  This is my first time ordering from them.

In other news still waiting on my GG from NM that I ordered on 10/30 and back  from the grave shadows.  I see she is expecting to finish them by the weekend.  I am worried that the order I placed for Secret Santa on 11/10/14 won't make it in time.

And my Shiro Halloween collection (plus sneak Secret Santa gifts cause they got to hitch a ride with my order) that I ordered 11/1/14 shipped!

I seriously had to make a note in my phone to track all my orders.  I am waiting on 9 packages (down from 16!)

@@lovepink when NM does ship it always gets to me very quickly. I do live near them though. However, you can email Carrie and tell her it's for an exchange and she may mail it sooner. I've seen her do it before for people on Facebook.

 

[MIKAGlam]

Also: I am just so flipping excited to get my VC! I need new pretties to play with!

 

[CurlyTails]

I've been busy with work and sticking to my no buy, so I'm living vicariously through all of you ladies!

I did get my NM VC shipping email, which will be a nice little treat for the weekend!

And still nothing from Debaucherous Bath. I ordered 10/25. May be time to start emailing since I wanted to include it in a gift.

Thanks for the tip.  I have tried to refrain from having to contact her again (had issues with the post office and my Oct VC, then I got my VC and got 2 of the same shadow and one shadow not at all!)

My VC is supposed to be here Saturday!  I can't wait.  I keep repeatedly hitting refresh on the tracking (as if it is going to make it get here sooner!)

I've been contacting them fairly consistently, and nothing. I got a second tracking number a week ago, and no movement. I'm not one to play these games, so I am going to do whatever it is that you do on Etsy to get a refund. If that doesn't work, Paypal claim time. Ugh, done.

 

[MIKAGlam]

I find it weird that HoG didn't combine my two orders. Ehh oh well!

Also: I am making it a point not to put money in my bank account for the HoG restock. I want wintervale though and Rosy Cheeks and Three Treasures and Snow Wolf and EggNoggin. That's all! Haha must resist!
