YAY IT'S WORKING! And I snagged one! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Now to try & grab a 3 month sub from GDE tomorrow & I'll be all set!

That's my plan too!! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It just kept taking me to my paypal account and I kept refreshing there and simultaneously checking the NM facebook group and Carrie said she was on it and then it worked eventually!

Yay!  I checked out and *then* came over here to see who else was on board with me!  (I think I might have been a little bit rushed to check out and forgot to double-check the future payment methods.  Oops.  I'll have to sort that out later.  The important thing was snagging this sub!  And I DID IT!)

And didja see that it's Freebie Friday, so you also get your choice of mini or Coffin Kisser, or you can leave it up to the fates to decide?  I'm going with a surprise item.  I *could* email and specify, but I can't decide, so I'll let Carrie (or whoever packs my order) choose for me!

 
Ha ha, the best part was I didn't even look at the items, I just scrolled to the bottom as fast as my fingers could get me. :lol: But holy moly those colors are pretty and right up my alley! Especially Stories By the Fire. I LOVE orange eyeshadow. :wub:

 
Uh ohhh I got TWO emails from PayPal confirming my payment  :blink:j

ETA: But it only shows once on my account, so I'm thinking I'm ok.

Aw, yay!  So glad you guys got the VC subs!  I love me some Neil Gaiman, but the colors weren't my thing  :angry:   And you know... low-buy.  Meh.

Still gonna try for that GDE slot tomorrow!  

 
It's so much fun watching you all get the Vanishing Cabinet!  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I haven't read any of Neil Gaiman's stuff ( :blink:   yes, I know) and I'm feeling the no/low-buy power right now. Maybe if NM has single-subscriptions I can snag something with a theme I like in the future.

 
SO glad I found out about the Vanishing Cabinet going recurring monthly before midnight EST. ( just minutes before...)

Many, of not most of us at MUT buy lots of indie and small- batch products, and this is something that is of great interest to me, and I'm sure would have been to a lot of makeup junkies. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think it's a bit" unsharing" that no one posted this on the Subscription thread. I did, as soon as I saw what is was, the price, and had a link to post. 
Not that I'm a Saint, but isn't MUT for sharing the really good things we find, no matter how limited?

Is there some reason that no one posted it in the Subscription area earlier today, really... I know one thing, if the moderator Zadidoll had known about it, she would have told us all in plenty of time to be ready to buy it. Just saying.

For the first two before the sub, the leftovers went up for sale individually a week or so after the subs all landed safely.

There are still a couple of shadows from July available!

It was mentioned here. Earlier today. Things can't be posted everywhere at once, and this is the thread dealing with Indie products.

Honestly?  I think we figured anyone who was interested was already in this thread, where we have been talking about it here for a few days, when Carrie made the sub public knowledge.  I did not post about it earlier because it was in the Customer Crypt, not the NM main Facebook page, and typically when things stay in a private customer forum like that, there's a reason, and that reason is typically that the owner of the store *doesn't want the information to leave the group*.  See:  GDE's customer group and this week's code being posted on Reddit.  I tried to get an indie sub thread going a few months ago, and there was practically ZERO interest, so I abandoned it and moved all of that discussion over here where there is decidedly some enthusiasm going.  There were only fifty slots available anyway, so it's not like everyone can jump on board. 

Also:  Not a mod's job to make sure everyone is aware of everything. 

 
Ooh, I just noticed that the lip gloss is called Glass Apples!  I have a (very limited edition, sold *very* briefly -- like at San Diego Comic Con and then a whole day online because it instantly sold out since we had been anxiously awaiting it for *months* -- in 2008) BPAL perfume oil called Snow, Glass, Apples based on that story.  CREEPIEST RETELLING OF SNOW WHITE *EVER*.  It is *glorious*.  When Neil Gaiman smelled the prototype, he called it "Sexy vampire apples."

Nope, sorry but the info about the sub on the NM FB page was for all people who are on FB and know about NM and it definitely was a mainstream post. I don't go to a "Customer Crypt" area. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think there IS interest for an Indie Sub thread. People are losing Saffron Rouge Inner Circle, and are looking for new subs to take its place in an indie sort of way. 

MAYBE one of the reasons there are so very few Indie subs is because not enough people request them. MuT has a very large number of subscribers to the subscription box threads. If a good number of us showed an interest in having 3-4 indie shadow, gloss, perfume, whatever retailers start one, it might be a big hit.

They don't know how many people want a subscription box of their products unless people who love subscription boxes tell them so and encourage them.

If I said the moon is bright tonight, you would say the sun is. So I don't expect ANY positivity from you.

She was saying that the sub information was posted to the private group first, and then made public knowledge after a certain amount of time. So yes, anyone on FB could see the information, but those in the customer group were made aware before that. ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
@@GirlyGirlie I'm not really sure what the issue is here... If you think there needs to be an Indie Sub Thread, make one. Anyone can start a thread. But those subscriptions will also probably be discussed here as they overlap with the general Indie category. 

Anyway, moving on-- 

Does anyone have any of the Notoriously Morbid Lipcraft Lipglosses? Apologies if this has been asked before. 

I'm just kind of curious about the consistency of them. I hate hate hate sticky gloss, but I kind of love the colors!
