Geek Chic normally sends an order confirmation the moment you place an order (I received my order confirmations even before the Paypal payment authorization notices) - I would send them an email!

Yeah, I received a Thank You itemized email directly after ordering a month ago on the 5th.
I received a "oops we need more time due to a big sale" message letting me know that they needed to double the processing time.
My order finally shipped on the 21th and I was emailed with tracking. The whole process was nearly a month long for me but I dont know if that is "normal" per say since they had a big anniversary sale going on when I ordered.
Well mystery solved. The email went to a different email account than the one I normally use for shopping. But oops, it had several things for my Summerswap buddy in it and I sent her package out earlier this week.
Guess I will just have to send her another one.

Via Notoriously Morbid's FB page:
Since there were so many problems with over selling The Vanishing Cabinet, it has now been made into an actual subscription service. I'm hoping this reduces the madness from the past few VC's. The subscription service will be opened tomorrow night!

Awesome! I'm going to resist the urge to put in another GDE order today and put the money toward the GDE sub on Friday and maybe this one as well!
How much are Vanishing Cabinets usually? I love the name alone.

Thanks! Love it! I was thinking I'd have to spend at least 20 bucks. I love this thread so much.

Here's the July Vanishing Cabinet from Notoriously Morbid:
Ten bucks. The two baggies with the NB logo were extras and hints for the August VC. Please oh please leave a slot open for me!
ETA: You actually had your choice of nail polish or lip gloss if you were in the US. International orders automatically got the gloss. I opted for the polish for the VC and then ended up picking up the gloss (along with the three In Camelot shades. I'm planning on marathoning _Merlin_ this autumn, and I must have the appropriate eyeshadow for such a venture! I already have quite a few of the Arthurian a-england polishes, so I'm set there) when the leftovers went up for sale so I would have all pieces of this set!

I've been bored today so I decided to swatch some Shiro products and do a Shiro EOTD.
No Oscar for Leo Dicaprio is my first COT from Shiro and the other 4 were all random samples she has included with my collection orders.
This is my EOTD and I was lazy and didn't even use primer. This is also 3 hours after application and durring that time I took my 5 year old to the playground in 88 degree weather. *I'm pretty impressed at the staying power truthfully* On my lid I have No Oscar for Leo DiCaprio, I have Elite Four in my outer corners and blended into the crease lightly. I have lined my eyes in Evolve (non wet, just dry) and have Flamethrower on my lower lash line under the Evolve. Pokemon Super Effective collection colors are truly vivid to say the least! I cant wait to play with them over a white base!
Here is how it looks right now nearly 6 hours later. Not with the best lighting but I totally accurate to life. haha.

My dramatic GDE look for today: Fire Breather on the inner corner, Just Bitten in the center, Feline Fatale on the outer corner, crease and lower lid, and Crystal Ball as the brow highlight! I also managed to wrangle my brows into a presentable shape!

innocent+twisted alchemy August bag! It's here! The theme/inspiration this month: A manga called Nana. This is the $12 sample bag:
The jar tilted on its side is Glamour Doll Eyes Tattooed, with a sifter. I love this color, but this jar is going in the project stash because I already have it! I have probably 3/4 of all of the shadows they have available, so it came as very little surprise to see I already have this one. The clamshell with no label is a lipstick sample in Plum, apparently from a company called Performance Colors. Ashitaka is a shade from Dusk Cosmetics that... Oh, just go here:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/189846073/ashitaka-loose-eye-shadow-princess?ref=shop_home_active_2
I just can't... Ugh. *Why* was this not in my life before? At least it's here now. The other extras were Dog Days (this one is a matte, so it might go in the project stash because I don't do mattes) from Blackbird Cosmetics and Cool Runnings from Chinovi.
And now, the main event! The i+ta shades (my camera won't pick the reasons why they're awesome up, so I'm just going to try to describe them):
* 7 & 8 -- Peachy-pinky practically holo shimmer
* Tranes -- Gray-purple practically holo shimmer
* Blast! -- Dark dark dark-verging-on-black purple with pink and peach sparkles (I think there may be some purple and/or blue in there as well)
* Ren Flower -- Medium rosy pink practically holo shimmer
So. Um. Yeah. This sub isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Except into my rotation box! (And I'm really glad I found my e.l.f. glitter glue last night because I think Blast! *really* needs glue rather than just GDE Foil Me.)

You pulled this off nicely! I love all of the colors! If I attempted this I'm sure I'd look like I had two black eyes!My dramatic GDE look for today: Fire Breather on the inner corner, Just Bitten in the center, Feline Fatale on the outer corner, crease and lower lid, and Crystal Ball as the brow highlight!

OMG, NANA is an amazing manga, but tragically unfinished and probably never will be. I'd love Blast! and Ren Flower for nostalgia alone. :scared:

Thank you! I'm no expert eyeshadow applier yet, but when my eyeliner went awry I think I fixed it nicely. It's usually the reason I don't wear eyeliner on my top lid often, I am always terrified I'll mess up the whole thing!

I think they go on sale after all of the subs go out if there's any left, typically as a limited edition because I believe she makes the colors just for the subs and sometimes has extra left over. There are still some of the June shades available, but I don't know if July overstock has gone up or if there will be any for August. Keep an eye on their LE page!
%&*(^%^&$ Bad typist. I misspelled Wednesday. Had to go back and redo it and missed the wednesday GDE freebie by a minute!!!!!
Got this for the first time today! My extras had Ashitaka and Dog Days too, but my GDE shadow was Dazzle Me, my Performance Colors lipstick was Committed which is a blue black, and my Chinovi shadow was Rock On which is described as a deep teal with green and blue shimmer.innocent+twisted alchemy August bag!

Current ongoing Indie Company spreadsheet. Website, which ones have subscriptions, what kinds of products they offer, and if they have samples. It's an iCloud doc, but it can be downloaded as a PDF or Excel doc. Feel free to download and edit, or let me know of any edits I can make. I only added a smattering of Indie polishes, there are just so many.
