Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[meaganola]

Oh, yeah:  Geek Chic is closed to get ready for Black Friday, but they're previewing their next collection!  Blergh, I can't get the photo off Facebook.  I'll have to just say it's there.  First shade:  Rue's Lullaby.  It looks like a nice goldish-brown.  The collection name is Ever in Your Favor, and it's going to be an eleven-piece collection (I'm not sure if it's going to be all shadow or maybe a mix of shadow, lips, blush, and maybe even a polish.  I seem to vaguely recall them saying it was going to be a full-face set, but I might be mixing it up with their Newb set) with limited-edition tins that will go on sale November 27th at 11:59pm Pacific time.

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.

It was Orange on me...very unflattering. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'll have to try layering it with something else to see if I like it better.

I got my Haus shipping too! But if they forget the Ghost Puffs stuff I paid for, though...

 

[kaitlin1209]

My Haus order shipped yesterday too! I'm surprised because my order number was way higher than someone else's who shipped earlier this week. Maybe they just had a lot of stock to get ready and once it was ready they could get a ton of orders out the door?

I don't know what's going on with USPS, but I don't like it!

I have THREE packages now (all indie) that should have been delivered already & the tracking hasn't updated since they departed the origin. 

 

[meaganola]

Gah. YOU GUYS. The NM Black Friday collection theme has been announced, and my stuck-in-the-mid-'90s heart is *thrilled*: _The Crow_! I've been hoping that it might show up as a VC theme, but this works, too, just as long as I can get my grungy grubby hands on it!

 

[rachelshine]

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!

Are you sure they didn't? I had two separate orders, got refunded on the shipping, but two shipping notices. They came together in the end tho! 

Annnnd I Wintervaled myself this restock. So glad I got a sample of it from my last HoG order. I bet all those who had late shipping was due to the missing Whipped Soap supply they mentioned on FB.

Argh, I bought a Rosy Cheeked Whipped Soap and now I am regretting not buying a perfume oil, because it seems like all I've done with the Yule collection is like things I didn't expect to, and dislike things I thought I'd enjoy. So naturally, I will probably love Rosy Cheeked. <_< The Hearth perfume better smell as good as the soap or I am going to be seriously regretting my choices. :lol:

You could always place another order & they'll combine shipping!

Or just grab a sample & the shipping should be free. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hearth as a perfume smells wonderful! It was a surprise favorite of the whole collection  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh yay, I'm happy to hear that! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm sad to say Three Treasures is a no for me, which stinks (ha!), because I purchased so many items in this scent. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I smell like I've been in a barn...hay, and other barn like scents if that makes sense. Maybe the scrub will be different than the hair oil on me.

 

[MIKAGlam]

You all are making me so excited to get my hearth soap! And my horseman scrub. Ugh yay

Tried out a new indie company called Corvus Cosmetics. Ordered on the 16th and just received it today, so I'm pretty excited to try out my new colors! It's a collection inspired by Futurama. Anyway this will keep me pretty occupied until my Shiro order comes in /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Spoiler

Pretty packaging with a nice handwritten note and business card.

Colors L-R: Champaggin?, Bite My Shiny Metal @$$, Clobberella, Smizmar,

Fine Jamaican Bacon, Good News Everybody, Orange Joe, Zero G Jugs,

Ice Queen (free sample), Why Not Zoidberg?

 

[ohsailor]

I want the Futurama collection so bad!

Also, I'm REALLY worried now. The Debaucherous orders were a MAJOR ($60-70) part of my SS gift, so without them I need a NEW GAME PLAN, FAST.

I need this! There is no way orange will look good on me, and I still want it. LoL

Back to Notoriously Morbid's _The Crow_ collection for a quick post:  I swear they just open up my brain and poke around for inspiration.  I was considering watching the entire film series on Thanksgiving -- *before* this collection was announced.  I remember wanting to suggest it when people were throwing out their own collection ideas but not bothering to post.  Everything crossed in the hope that I can get my mitts on it.  And time to find a new media property to focus my energy on so it will appear as another collection, whether VC, LE, or GC! 

(How awesome would it be to get one based on _The Shining_ in January or February, when we're losing our minds because winter will *never* end?  Blood red shadow, shimmery blue-gray of a neverending storm, hedge maze green, pale powder blue like the twins' dress, and a sheer sparkly lipcraft.  Or, ooh, the rust, brown, and red of the carpet, plus hedge maze green and the same sheer sparkly lipcraft.  Or _The Mist_.  I *desperately* want something based on that movie, but I've been having a hard time coming up with ideas for colors for that one.  Or _Rosemary's Baby_!  Or or or!)

 

[MIKAGlam]

@@meaganola YES to the Shining collection idea! I'd go nuts over that.

I also really am lusting over that Futurama collection.

I'm worried about Debaucherous too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hey all, I need a little help planning out my Black Friday strategy - is there a list anywhere of what indies are having BF special collections/items and approximately when they will be released? I need to know when to be home and when I can go out and hit the town!
