Down the Indie Rabbit Hole

Edit: Maybe if I clicked on the next page lol question already answered.

Um.  By the end of next week, I will have five dozen new shadows to swatch.  Oops?  BUT THEY'RE SO SPARKLY!  HOW COULD I EVER BE EXPECTED TO RESIST?  ALSO SUBS!  AND HOLIDAY LIMITED EDITIONS!  AND ALSO SECRET SANTA!  IT IS NOT MY FAULT!

Ahem.  And that's not counting my NM MoC&etc. order since it still hasn't shipped even though I ordered during literally the first minute of the sale (I'm guessing I won't see it until next year, which is fine now that I see how many shadows I have to entertain myself with in the meantime).  I went back and ordered additional items about half an hour later, and there were lip products in each order, so I'm not sure which aspect of this is causing the biggest delay.  I can't believe I'm getting my VC before my BF order has even shipped.  I'm never combining orders during one of those things again.  (Yes, I'm starting to get grumpy here.  Maybe an overload of carbs in the form of turkey bolognese will help.)

I played with some of my Notoriously Morbid samples for the first time today.  I ended up wearing Rose from the Dr. Who collection.  I love this color!  I think I will try a new one each day for the next few days.  That will get me to Monday when my VC gets here.

I am waiting until after Christmas to order from HoG.  I have been making a mini wishlist for myself.  I'm trying to decide if I should try a pumpkin butter or a body emulsion first.  I like thick lotions but I also like lotions that absorb fairly well.  Recommendations?

To those who like Sweet Potato Treat... I have 2 full-sized hair oils in Sweet Potato Treat. It's not the same. but I can decant both of you the equivalent of a full-sized perfume from HoG

Also, I JUST got Sweet Potato Souffle from CocoaPink and it smells JUST like Sweet Potato Treat from HoG. Like, just like it.  And it's still available /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Heads up, gang:  I have OODLES of new shadows, and I'll be posting swatches in appropriate threads over the next few days!  I already did this month's Vanishing Cabinet.  Swatching is slow going, though, because kitties be cuddly.  I got settled on the couch with my swatching supplies, and Oz immediately settled on my lap. Ah, the kitty feeder just dispensed kibble.  Now he's going to go investigate.  Time to work on this while he's distracted!

ETA:  First up is BeautyBarBaby's After Hours Breakfast collection!

Left to right, over LA Splash Splashproof Sealer:  Bacon & Waffles, Chicken & Waffles, and Sausage Gravy & Biscuits.  I love how pink-verging-on-purple-leaning SG&B is!

There is an eyeshadow called bacon!?!? And it's so pretty!!

 

[meaganola]

And, heh.  It's vegan.

I have to buy Bacon & Waffles just so I can have a shadow with a picture of bacon on the jar.

PM me your address (your too @@BSquared if you want it). I promise I'll try to get it out before 30 days have passed haha (I ALWAYS COME THROUGH... I'm just slow. But really, I have something else I promised someone else I'd send. My biggest thing would be getting a container for them @@Kelly Silva or @@meaganola where can I get good bottles about the size of full-size HoG quickly?)

Thanks for this! And since, between this and some other things I"ve seen, we seem to like some similar scents...do you have any other favorite scents I absolutely should try?

I felt that way about sausage gravy and biscuits.  Ugh.  I might have to head over to Pine State for breakfast tomorrow.

Quickly, Amazon. I got some 1 oz dropper style ones there. Otherwise, Specialty Bottle is a good place to check. The shipping is cheap, and you don't have to get a wholesale amount to get a wholesale price.

I've ordered from these two places:

http://www.pilotvials.com/

http://www.sunburstbottle.com/

It might also be worth checking out your local Whole Foods.  I've seen empty glass bottles in varying sizes in the health & beauty section.  They're not cheap (because Whole Foods), but if they have them, you would save time, and it might be cheaper to go ahead and buy a couple there instead of buying several and paying shipping from Sunburst or Pilot.

Yes! Bonfire Pumpkins and Cinderella's Carriage are my absolute favorites of ANY scent. Any of the ones they have with Marshmallow in the name are great too. Black Cat in a Pumpkin Patch, Black Kittens, and

Thank you both so much! There's a reason I consider you my Indie Queens /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Made an order from Dawn Eyes Cosmetics, the swatches online are gorgeous and although her site is damn hard to look at (I hear she's planning on changing it soon) I would order again because her shadow are inexpensive. Got 4 full size eyeshadows and a sample of my choice for $11. Boom!
