I also want to get an I+TA subscription. I just saw on facebook that the subscriptions are going to be released on the first of every month, starting in September, so I'll have to stalk the site on September 1st! I've heard that they sell out fairly quickly.

Uh oh... I forgot that they were being released on the first of each month; I'm going on a trip with my friends for Labor Day Weekend so hopefully I'll still be able to snag one! If not - I'll probably just choose a different indie as my low-buy exception (or I'll buy a Petite Lucky Pack from i+ta) ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 
I feel like I'm getting through my sample jars of shadows fairly quickly actually and will need to pick up full sizes of a few in the very near future! The gde blushes will probably last me forever though, and I wear lots of blush! Speaking of gde and my recent order, I'm not sure I like Peach is the New Blush as much as I thought I would. It darker on me than I was expecting. Thoughts from anyone else? I'm still deciding though. But, I'm obsessed with trophy wife and downtown!! Trophy wife looks kinda scary (? Lol) at first but blends out to the most beautiful/wearable gold ever :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Id also love to find a Mary loumanizer indie dupe since I just finished mine and it must be replaced!

 
I use so little eyeshadow when I do my eyes (I have monolids and I don't go very high up with my eyeshadow) that I only buy sample sizes of indies (unless it's a special color that's only available in full size), and I still feel like I'll never get through an entire sample, especially because I have so many colors. On the bright side, I can add a ton of new colors to my collection for a really cheap price.

 
So I want to get some clear base to make my own polishes using pigments, and I'm a bit confused by which one to get.  TKB Trading has three:  Glamour, Suspension, and Clear Coat.  I'm not sure the first two are really necessary since I'm dealing with pigment, not glitter, but I'm also not sure if Clear Coat has enough *oomph* for this (or if may Glamour and Suspension might have too much).  Has anyone tried this?  Which one should I get?  Or should I just go with stocking up on Wet'n'Wild/essence clear polish when it's on sale since that would mean I don't need to get bottles as well?  (In which case:  Could I just use BBs for blending beads?)

 
There are three GDE OTM 1 month subscriptions available if you hurry! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ETA Aaaaaand they're gone.

Just a heads up on Trophy Wife, as it is unblended pigment they will no longer be available after the first of the year

 
I might have to pick up Funeral Parlor in a full size.  I have a sample baggie of it & I LUUUURRVE it!!!!  I better do that before they run out of stock & it goes bye bye forever.

 
does anyone have a link to Amazon for 5g jars with sifters?  I bought some awhile back, I swear I only used a few, but now I can't find them. And I have several Notoriously Morbid/GDE baggies I want to switch to jars.

(I found the Coastal Scents 10g jars, but I seriously remember some less expensive ones!!!)

 
Hmmm... i remember they were little clear jars with black lids (well, black-rimmed lids.  There was a little clear window on top).  I may get those clear non/sifter ones, but I'm a weirdo who wants everything to match... lol.  

 
I'm thinking I want to get clamshells (like i+ta and GCC use for samples) for my baggies.  I hate baggies, but I do get a lot that I would like to go ahead and use, so I think clamshells are the answer for me. 

 
I'm so clumsy I'd destroy every clamshell! My bathroom would look like the aftermath of a Color Run.  

And I FOUND THEM.  And they're out of stock.  Better go look harder in my closet, they HAVE GOT TO BE THERE SOMEWHERE.

Do you have any tips for dealing with clamshells? I have a couple of GCC ones and I feel like I keep losing a lot of powder when I open them. My trouble with clamshells is also why I don't know if I want a sample or full-size subscription from i+ta if I manage to snag one (I could transfer the clamshells to jars... but I really like her label art).

The i+ta clamshells have the label art!  I have no suggestions, though.  I don't mind losing product because I have so many others that it's not a huge deal to me, but I don't really think I lose a lot, either.
