Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

[crazycatlady82]

Totally bought hello waffles katpiss neverclean lip balm because of the name. Ha. Even my fiancé said I should buy it, which is a first....lol

darling girl black friday flash sales have started! codes will be posted on the fb page, the sale runs from 9 am to 9 pm CST.

eta: there is a code, blacksaturday, that will work all day long for 15% off.  But other codes/deals may be posted and there is a section called black friday on the site with some new items.

 

[Tamarin]

also an update from hello waffle: she will only be having one flash sale, tmr at noon EST, use code BF20 for 20% off, valid for one hour.  I think the 15% off (code on the site) is still going on throughout the weekend.

Ooh, I got up this morning to discover a Hello Waffle charge has hit PayPal!  Whoo!  Visage time is drawing near!  I usually put each month's colors from indie subs away at when the following month's colors arrive, but I'm thinking I'm going to keep the blush from the November box in my rotation, maybe until it's gone (I have never *ever* used up an entire color product, so this will take *quite* a while!), or at least until March.  The shade name *is* Winter Rose, after all, and I was born in the middle of winter in the Rose City.

ETA:  I'm sitting here thinking, "Ooh, I can't wait until that goes on sale in just a few minutes!  I need to jump right on it so I don't miss it!"  But...  There's actually *not* anything I'm anxiously awaiting today.  NM is posting *something* today, but they specifically said it's not something LE.  It must be the gift certificate thing, which I would love to jump on, but, really, since I have to make the choice between NM and pizza today, I'm going with pizza.  I'm hoping there will be *some* sort of announcement about Visage, like theme hint, box composition, even just guest star, but there's nothing out there to indicate that this might happen.  I have no idea what I'm waiting for unless it's just leftover anticipation from Murder of Crows.  Yes, I was *so* anxious about that one that I'm *still* keyed up about possibly missing it!

Any good indie sales today? I haven't ventured out much into indies besides some nail polish which I don't need anymore of.

So I have a problem (I think) with indie makeup. (besides the addiction)

I have been getting stys like crazy! I used to rarely get them and now they happen at least once a week and even on my bottom lash line. I switched my eye makeup out to new and it still happens. And then I realized it started happening around the same time I switched to indies. I wonder if the loose pigments have anything to do with it. It's something I can deal with (I like my indies too much to give them up) but it is uber annoying.

Does this happen to anyone else? Maybe it's an allergy. I am allergic to a lot of things, I wouldn't be surprised if this is just another thing added to the already long list.

Sucks that I'm getting charged for the December Visage and I still don't have my November one. Never fear, I've already been emailing her about it, and she's sending me another one, but probably not until Monday and by the time I get it, my December one probably won't be far behind.

Looks like there are still a few of the Elf GDE sets up on Storenvy, if anyone is still interested. I couldn't resist, I love that movie so much and the colors look so pretty swatched.

And the colors were suggested by our own @@trekkersangel!!!

Ahhh I am awful, Darling Girl just had a flash sale with 28 percent off, and who can turn that down?? So I got minis of the Darling Grrl collection. How could I not??? There are shadows named after songs by Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Rancid? AHHHHHHH.

I love that collection.  How can you not with that inspiration???

I'm holding off on buying anything more until after Secret Santa but I have been using my GDE "Feverish" sample this week and I absolutely need a full size.  Now I want so many of the collections.  I am also loving how pigmented the GDE shadows are.  You really get a bunch of different looks out of one shadow just because the colors build so well.

I haven't really had this problem and just recently started using indie shadows.  Do you use cleansing pads for your eyes?  It could be a cleanser or eye cream causing it.

I've been placing too many orders this weekend. I got the hot chocolate bar sampler set from sixteen92, the lip theory satins as well as some eyeshadow samples from life's entropy, and I also placed a $30 order from darling girl during one of the flash sales today. And I'm still planning on ordering from aromaleigh during their Monday deal, and maybe some perfume samples from solstice scents, since they just restocked today.

Do you wear contacts?  If so what type (daily,weekly, 2 week, etc)?

In the time since I have started wearing loose pigment shadows (about 6 months now) I have gotten two styes. That might not seem like a lot, but prior to that, I had gotten as many in five years... too early to tell if it is a coincidence but I wouldn't have thought of it had you not said this. And before anyone asks, although the products change often, all of my other routines stay the same, so no, I can't say for sure it is loose shadow having an effect. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[MIKAGlam]

I don't wear contacts and my makeup remover has been a HG that I have been using prior, so I don't think thats what's causing it. I don't want to stop using my loose pigments to find out if that's the reason though. Love hurts.

argh so mad at usps.  It's been a week since my DC shark friday order was dropped off, and DC orders usually get to me in 2 days but I still don't have it.  Rant in spoiler.

Spoiler

 extremely annoyed with usps - they took forever to ship my DC shark friday order and then I asked them to hold the package at the post office so I could pick it up ASAP and they said they would try.  The reason I asked is at the university I go to, all packages get delivered to a central facility, even though I have a large mailbox and my building is secure, the door is always locked and only residents can get in.  The ppl that work at at the mailroom are undergrads who are away right now for Thanksgiving break, so the mailroom is closed. And the processing is not fast either, I have given up on getting things shipped express since it makes no difference. The packages can still be left in the room, they just won't be processed. So I called the local post office and asked for my package to be set aside so I could pick it up from the post office.  USPS was all "oh it's too complicated, there are so many packages, we'll try".  Well I have been checking the tracking since 8 am, and I checked my mailbox at 3 pm which is when the mail truck gets to my building and nothing. The tracking updated about an hour ago saying it has been delivered to the mailbox at 9am, but it is not in my mailbox.  I just hope that this is some new way of saying it's been left at the mailroom since I've never seen this message before.  I am just so pissed at USPS and the university for this stupid situation.  Most of the items in that order were LE and I just want to get my items safely  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Sorry for the long rant, but I just needed to vent and I know you ladies will understand being anxious and impatient when waiting for indie mail.

If this will be your first order with Solstice Scents, don't forget you get an extra free sample.  All orders come with one free sample and you will see a drop down box at checkout where you can pick the scent you want.  But if it is your first order, make a note in the comments section that you would like your first order freebie to be _____ scent.  If you don't ask for it you only get the one sample.

I have been good and resisted any sales today. I purchased a couple of Savor soaps for my mom for a Christmas yesterday and got a shipping notice and partial shipping refund today, so that's good news.

I also sent an email to Debaucherous Bath since, surprise, surprise, my shipping has not updated. We'll see what happens with that.

Oh man, I feel you. I was finally able to file a claim with Etsy, which I did, still not a single note. So on Tuesday I will be able to "escalate" my Etsy claim, and I am also going to file a dispute with PayPal. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I hate to think poorly of anyone, but it honesty feels like she is ignoring my attempts at communication out of spite. Otherwise, why wouldn't a business owner at least reply to you with some sort of false promise/indication they are working on the problem? I am seriously baffled.
