My VC is waiting for me at my house! I've been with the BF so I haven't been home but I texted my mom to bring it to me when we have dinner tonight lol (1st time for my BF to have a sit down with them, a little nervous! Lol he's met them before and they like him, but my parents are such trolls. Let's hope for the best lol)

 
Yay! Fantastic mail day!

My VC came and my Haus of Gloi order.  I am currently bathing in the lovely scent of Hearth (I got a full size since they were out of samples when I ordered, so happy I love it) and trying to figure out where I should go tonight to show off my awesome VC colors.  Also, I concur that the packaging this month is amazing :) /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!
I believe @@Kelly Silva will be posting one on her blog soon.  I am betting if we ask nicely she will let us know when it goes up.

 
Whoo!  My VC is indeed here!  And I had *just* been thinking this morning that I was getting a little tired of wearing my HW Visage stuff for the past couple of weeks and needed to rotate something else into the box, so this is perfect timing. 

So the big question:  What were the preview shades everyone received?  I have

Mittens for Michael.  It's a shimmery medium purple.  I'm trying to figure out what it could be, and all I can come up with at the moment is _The Office_ or _Elf_, both of which seem like REALLY REALLY WEIRD things for this company to do.  And it's also totally the wrong color for Michael's oven mitt in _The Office_.  (And, wow, I never realized how much my boss's boss reminds me of Michael until I rewatched *that* little clip.
 
It was an indie order palooza at my house today!  Got my Nov NM VC and I agree with @ beautiful!  It is driving me crazy trying to guess next month's theme!

Also got my Shiro NBC order from 11/1/14 plus my Secret Santa gift she let me sneak in to get it before the ship date.

I got an Aromaleigh order with items for my Secret Santa and the Sol Invicitus sample collection for me.

Fyrinnae order with mostly Secret Santa stuff but something for me too but it was missing an item.  I emailed them about it.  Also I am not sure if the item they left out got replaced by a mini shadow or if their samples are really mini jars.  It states Free sample but is the same size as the minis I ordered!

Off to wallow in glitter and eat candy!

 
My northman shadow was loose and it's all over :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. There's still about half in the jar, so I feel bad emailing them about it.

But good lord these are aoo pretty.

I just looked up the Office scene of the mittens and Phyllis's cardigan is this color? Other than that I have no clue what it could be, but I LOVE the office so I would love an office theme.
 
Nov NM VC so pretty! I don't want to touch them!  I bought clear lip gloss to try and mix in some of the shadows since they are lip safe.

@@MIKAGlam Bummer!  I would be so sad!  My lids were loose too but no casualities!

 
@@lovepink Im sure I'll get over it, it's not like i don't have 300+ eyeshadows to play with *hehe* but it's just so stinking pretty. So sparkly. I just swatched it and kept moving my hand back and forth admiring the pretty. The BF just looks at me, shakes his head, and goes back to video games. Lol

Ohh I want to make a lip gloss. I wonder how to go about doing that. Off to look at some videos!

Fyrinnae sends jars as samples and the jars are the same size as the minis, but they have less product.  They are amazing at picking samples for me

Good to know!  This is my first time ordering from them!  I just got an email response back that they will send out my missing product and exactly what you said above!  My free sample was All Hallow's Eve.  Which is not a color I ever woould have pieced for myself but lools pretty!

Omg just...

I think you guys are right, Mittens for Michael is The Office. I found this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc4pj4aS8QY

And oh my gosh, it is terrible quality but yeah. I don't know what the VC stipulations are but the traditionally "festive" type of entertainment I can think of just doesn't fit. The only thing throwing me off is that the mittens are red...
 
I was totally expecting Bob Clark's *other* Christmas movie.  See, he's the dude who directed _A Christmas Story_, a heart-warming tale of little Ralphie and his desire for a Red Ryder bb gun.  And then nine years earlier, he *also* directed a classic slasher flick about a psychopath killing his way through a sorority house called _Black Christmas_.  Then again, it might be a bit *too* grim even for this company.  _Rare Exports_ would have been amazing, too (if you haven't seen it yet and like horror movies, you have done yourself a *huge* disservice!), but it might be a bit too obscure.

You might be right...

I thought The Office as soon as I saw my sample name, and I watched that clip as well. Maybe it's supposed to be the color of Phylis's sweater?
