Caved in and placed a wee baby Haus of Gloi order... I swear, I'm getting enabled more in this thread than in the enablers thread! Just a couple of pumpkin butter minis, Imp and Honeysuckle Lemon Curd, because it makes me nervous to order smelly-goods without, ya know, smelling them first. I'm really looking forward to the second one especially, because I have been obsessed with lemon-scented things lately and I've been wearing the bejeezus out of my Demeter Honeysuckle splash, so hopefully the combination of the two isn't somehow appalling!

 
I learned something pretty keen today. Little tip, if you plan on melting down a eye/lip crayon (or any cosmetic item really) to repot them into jars, make sure the jar is glass. I just spent twice as much time reshaping my jar as I warped/melted it in the process of melting the crayon and couldn't get the lid back on. Novice mistake I'm sure, but now I have NYX Milk pencil in a jar for easier application! I use NYX jumbo crayons as a base for my indies (especially Milk) because it REALLY shows off the full glory of indie cosmetics.

In addition to that valuable lesson I learned, here are my My Pretty Zombie swatches as promised

These swatches have confirmed my desire to own every single blue and green shade...I am over the stars about all 5 of these.

Osedax and Cookie Pants were my lovely freebie samples but OMG look at Anthrax! That green/purple shift is amazing.

Lastly my two blushes, I LOVE LSD because it has a beautiful copper gold shimmer *I think it looks best for eye/face contoring rather than blush* and MDMA is just beautiful all around with lots of subtle gold sparkle

Ahhh I want so many more!

Happy Day! Shiro Order. I have been needing more bright basic colors and the super effective collection should play into that need quite nicely!

Haha! Did you intentionally arrange the top row into a rainbow? :lol:

And you managed to grab No Oscar for Leo!

I'm currently waffling over the Lavender Town blend... I want to own a full-sized from the Super Effective collection so I can get a jar with the cute pokeball sticker, but the colors in the collection aren't anything I can justify a full-size of (except Sweet Honey, which doesn't inspire Pokemon-related feelings in me... but Lavender Town is a name I recognize). Decisions, decisions

Oh my goodness.  That picture of Leo with the name of the pigment is hilarious.  I love Shiro just for the fact that they're not afraid to make fun of things like that.  I need the Nic Cage lip collection for the sheer genius of a laugh it is.  

You didn't get Nightfury?  I need to place an order just for him.  I need him in my life.

I did intentionally make a rainbow...I just couldn't not. haha

Sweet Honey is apparently the closest thing to the "Still No Oscar for Leo Dicaprio" from what Catlin said so if you already have that one then the color is a close dupe.

I was very lucky to have gotten the origional "No Oscar for Lio" but I do still wish I handnt have missed the "Still No Oscar for Leo" from this year. Oh well, there will be others lol

1000 times like!!!  What an adorable picture!!

 
Thanks guys! That costume sparked my love for mother/son costumes. haha. This year he will be Mario to my Yoshi (Dad is Wario) and Bilbo to my Smaug (Dad might be Thorin but its unlikely due to costume prep time). *Kiddo picked them out :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Nice to say we are a pretty theatrical/costume focused geeky family.
 

 The Hobbit stickers are making me want the whole collection full sized! Blast my limited budget and never ending list of wants. I *NEEDED* Attercop, Attercop because my nickname is Spider and I generally always need more spider things

@@BSquared Another brand that has absolutely adorable jars is Scaredy Cat Cosmetics

@ Your costume ideas sound so cute!

Also... is anyone a fan of Attack on Titan? (I ask because there's a brand with an Attack on Titan collection that's having a flash sale right now... and I feel a bit guilty about all of my enabling)

 
The owner of Fyrinnae posted a Thank You to customers on /r/indiemakeupandmore on reddit (I don't know if we're allowed to link to reddit?) A bunch of other brand owners chimed in and if you're interested in hearing a bit about them (and also looking at the different brands) you should check it out.

 
If you're following Darling Girl on the book of faces and feel like voting for Down the Rabbit Hole for the September COTM, well, it's an option you could take right this minute.
