@ you win the Interwebz for Ultimate Enabler today. Neil Gaiman is just too much to resist. I got one! *dances around*

Wait, what was the extra *thing* we were talking about last night? I didn't make a selection/see anywhere for it, so I guess I'm getting surprised!
On Fridays, NM usually has some sort of free extra, announced on the public Facebook page. This time around, it's your choice of a mini or a Coffin Kisser, apparently with every $10, so if you spent, say, $50, you would get five! You can specify what you want or let it be random.

(Last week, there was no freebie because they were launching blushes, so there was a 30% off sale instead!)

 
Oh!  Thank you!  Now nobody hate me but...

Mini what?  Mini shadow? Mini lipgloss?  I ordered from her a LONG time ago (like, over a year) so I just now went in to "like" the FB page, because I'm slow like that.  I'm a bit behind on the lingo.  

 
Yay!  Thank you!  (I'm going to get more caffeine now.  I need it.)

OMG I FORGOT SHE WAS THE ONE WITH THE DARK CHRISTMAS DREAMS COLLECTION.  

Shadow of Things will be MINE!!!!

 
@@biancardi @@trekkersangel and anyone else who missed out on NM Vanishing Cabinets last night - you can check again now if you have a chance!

eta She held some aside for international subscribers and was going to be releasing them this morning to be available for domestic!

edited again to add it's working now! just checked! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
OMG THANK YOU!! 

I got in :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yay!! I'm glad you were able to get it!! Even though it is basically my life's mission to buy ALL the purple-ish eyeshadow I can and I'm going to love Seek Not Revenge, I'm actually most excited for Moments That Illuminate. 

So I feel like I hear Neil Gaiman's name all the time and just stalked his wikipedia and was surprised that I've never read anything by him. I want to now though because his stuff seems really up my alley.

There's the mini shadows for the freebie, but there's also the Coffin Kissers which are lip balms. If you want something specific, you can message her, although surprises are always fun anyway! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@ Today is a free day Friday, and you get a free mini or coffin kisser of your choice with a $10 minimum order. The VC purchase counts. You can email or FB message your choice to Carrie, or if you don't sent her a choice you can just be surprised. Typically you would enter your choice as a message a checkout, but the sub checkout was different.
I think this answers what I was wondering! If we make a purchase in the regular store, we just write our free picks in the "notes" section? I've been wanting to place a NM order all week and this deal totally enables me.

So basically I between NM's free day Friday and GDE's freebie Wednesday, I will be having a hard time resisting throwing my money at them on a weekly basis!

 
@ Ack! You haven't read _Good Omens_? That's my favorite book I've read as an adult. It is *hilarious*. I laugh so hard every time I read it that I end up crying. It always goes with me when I fly!

 
I'm totally backing @@meaganola on Good Omens!  He co-authored it with Terry Pratchett and the best description I've read was "Imagine if Monty Python re-wrote the Book of Revelations".  I also highly recommend American Gods and The Ocean At The End Of The Lane.  And Stardust.  And Neverwhere.

Neil Gaiman's work is amazing and horrifying and uplifting and completely wonderful.   It's also the kind of stuff you can read over and over again and find something new every time.

Yay!! Somehow (and I'm not really sure how because I swear I haven't liked that much stuff in the past 24 hours and nothing since I woke up) I've already surpassed my allotted amount of likes for the day lol but this is just one of many posts in this thread that I *want* to like! haha  :lol:

eta I was able to like a post just now and was all excited I got my likes back and then I went to like a second post and nope! already over my quota again! lol

@@meaganola @ I haven't but now I'll definitely have to! I don't buy that many books (other than my occasional Half Price Books binge... I *love* that store I miss living near one) and I usually only buy a book if it's something I'll read more than once. The funny thing is, my office is in the upstairs of the public library, so it would be really easy to go check out some books after work or on a break but I never do. But I just checked the catalog and one of their copies of it is in, so I may pop down there today when I inevitably need a break from making softball/soccer league schedules.

Just saw Christine say she hopes to have Hello Waffle open again by the middle of next week.  She is busy restocking so she won't run out.
Yay!!! I have been stalking and waiting for Hello Waffle and Little Sparrow to reopen!! So until then I am just going to have to take advantage of the awesome NM deal and maybe hit up Kiss My Sass since they seem to be having a sale too! I have such bad shopaholic issues. @@Kelly Silva and @@BSquared, I seriously admire your dedication to your no buys. I suck at it.

I probably shouldn't ask this...but what is the Kiss My Sass sale?

Speaking of Meow Cosmetics, how does their color matching work? I thought I saw something about sending them a picture and they recommend shades but I searched and couldn't find the post that mentioned it.

 
Lip glazes: who has them?
GDE has HydraGlazes, which I love. Not a ton of color but still *some*, nice and slick, not sticky. I'm not sure what the difference is between glosses and glazes, so there may be more that are called glosses that you might consider to be glazes. I just don't know the difference!

 
I never ordered anything from them before. I just knew I had to eventually because of the name, Kiss My Sass, and my love of Cobra Starship. The thing that sucks though was that my shipping came out to $9.95 which is sickening for someone who can't stand paying shipping... but since the rest of my order was $23, I decided to go through with it anyway. 

So I love vanilla scents and I recently realized I love most things that are nut scented so I had to grab the Candy Corn since it's vanilla, butter, and almond as well as some of the other fall scent stuff that was on clearance. Then I just got a bunch of lip stuff that was on sale and the lip glaze COTM plus a sample bag of the LE Witch Hunt eye shadow. 

Here's my order:

But if you do order, don't forget the new2014 code for 15% off!

And here's my NM order:

Obviously based on these 2 order, the Impulse samples arriving this weekend and the 9 lip lustre samples that'll be here on Monday, I have a lip gloss problem. I picked a Sam's Strawberry Mousse coffin kisser and Give Me $20 mini shadow as my freebies with that.

Haha - I was the one who mentioned that. I think instructions are on their page - but I think you can send a picture of yourself in direct sunlight to [email protected] and they can give recommendations on color matching. (I'm not sure if sending to the customer service email address works, too).

Edit: the instructions aren't on their page - I found it in their forums
