But they're going to be such a pleasant surprise when you get them!

I may or may not have creeped on some elfter wishlists and started liking facebook pages of indie brands that are new to me, if I don't do that I'll just totally forget about them so I use facebook as my online window shopping of sorts hahah. 

Argh, Facebook drives me insane because no matter how much I like, follow, comment and like comments, it refuses to show me the majority of the indie shops on my wall. The only ones I see consistently are Darling Clandestine, Black Violet and the NM Customer Crypt. I missed a bunch of BF stuff from some other brands because nothing shows up, and I have to remember to actually look up the page. <_< I really wanted to pick up some goodies from Darling Girl but I missed all the sales.

I saw that LE's TAT has made her decide to make that Cosmos lipstick collection available until the end of January!  I'm trying to decide whether to try the lipsticks out (I'm seriously coveting Supernova, which is super bizarre because it's precisely the sort of color I've avoided for decades) or just stick to the lip theories (I fell in love with the formula thanks to the first Hello Waffle Visage box) and play with mixtures.

Ive noticed this too and it annoys me so much because I know its about the $$$ for Facebook! For certain brands I really wanna make sure I don't miss I set it so I get notifications whenever they post something.

Oh, good idea! I hadn't thought of that! *runs to FB*

The gift certificates are still 20% off but the caveat is that you can only use it when DG reopens in January. So for $25, you'll get a certificate for $30, $50 spent, you get $60 and so forth. She closes tonight!

Even though NM's current TaT drives me bonkers, I still had to order!  I placed an order on 11/3, didn't get shipping til 11/25, and tracking still just shows "Electronic Info Received".  I'm hoping that's a USPS issue and it just gets delivered soon!  

And then... the Black Friday sale!  I thought I'd missed it (and the GWP!) but she posted a few hours ago that she's still running the sale through tonight, and who can pass up 40% off?  So I got 2 Lipcrafts (Sparkle Horse and Kiss & Tell) and 3 eyeshadows (Walkin' on Sunshine, Give Me $20!, and Cry Wolf Cry).  Hoping there's still some Cermet & Paesh GWP's by the time she packs up my order!

The only thing I really wish is that there were better descriptions/swatches of the Lipcrafts.  Cachtice is GORGEOUS, but looks completely different from the online description.  I was able to find some swatches/on-the-lip pics of Kiss & Tell (I wouldn't have bought it without some pics of ladies wearing it, the description doesn't sound like something I'd wear), but I'm buying Sparkle Horse on faith (and the cool name).

I also may have gone completely insane and purchased the sample set of Sol Invictus from Aromaleigh, but that's neither here nor there.  (I just wish I could afford the $78 for the full set!)

Did she post a preview of this?  I have no clue what Cermet & Paesh is, so I don't have any idea what the GWP could look like -- or even what kind of product it is (lip color?  Blush?  Shadow?).

And, yeah, Kiss & Tell looks *nothing* like the swatch.  I only ordered it because I'm a completist, and I *needed* it since I had the rest of the set.  I've gotten to the point where I just order all of the indies regardless of the swatch, though, because they all seem to look completely different.  All brands, all shades, all products.  I look at it as an adventure, though:  What magical surprise awaits me upon application?

Ehh, I actually wasn't going to spend that much. Just $10 so I could get the GWP as well...

And @@meaganola there is definitely a preview of Cermet and Paesh somewhere, but I can't remember where I saw it - it is a shadow, I want to say with a grey/taupe base, but I could be mis-remembering. Cermet and Paesh are Kermit and Peach, Italian Greyhounds that belong to the YouTube personality Jenna Marbles. They have a really cute/funny video called "This are This", a sequel to the original video with Kermit called "What are This?" I think it is great, but probably not everyone's cup of tea, ha ha. :lol:

 

[meaganola]

Ah!  I found it!  Laura posted it on her Instagram, but I have to go to my aunt's right this minute, so I can't post it here yet because I don't have enough time to figure out how to do that at the moment. 

 

[kawaiisofoxy]

@@meaganola the second I saw it I thought it would go amazingly with GDE's Poodles!  I'm not a *huge* Jenna Marbles fan, but she is hilarious, and now I have to go watch those videos because it took me reading every single comment on this post to even get the reference. (it's also the source of the 40% off code "thisarethis", apparently.  Who knew?*)

*everyone but me, of course!

I swear I saw a swatch somewhere and it was a greyish shadow? But I can't find it now. I'll keep looking.

edit: Man, I'm clearly having problems refreshing for new posts tonight. Glad you found it!

 

[Shalott]

Ohh, lovely, that swatch is even prettier than I remembered! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Definitely happy that I was able to get my order (s) in!

I ordered from Baroque and Life's Entropy for the first time and used StoreEnvy. I've only received the one email from Store Envy, should I receive one from the individual shops?

Also, I've been trying to talk myself out of Solstice Scents all day. Maybe the thought of Cyber Monday can help, haha

Did your checkout email have both orders, or just one store?

 

[CurlyTails]

I almost forgot to make a November order to get Poodles! So glad I saw you ladies talking about it.

 

[yousoldtheworld]

Well, since I saw that GWP from NM, I had to place another small order to get it. Even though I swore I was done. I need to punch myself in the face. 

Got 4 mini shadows and a Coffin Kisser (the pumpkin one!) When all of these orders start rolling in, I'm going to have to do the "close your eyes and grab" thing to choose what to wear each day, lord!

 

[yousoldtheworld]

But, both that one (I forget the name, after the two dogs?) and Poodles are much needed in my collection...as far as indies go, I always gravitate toward the bright colors so it'll be good to have a couple more neutralish shades. Justifying this to myself, of course. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Even if you just purchase samples (I'm trying to get free shipping) that add up to $10 will you still get poodles...I know it's probably an obvious yes but I really want poodles and want to make sure I get it

WELL okay their store is closed to sales right now.
