@@rachelshine thank you. I will purchase the full size then. I'll only buy 2 then.

@@chibimorph I just keep looking at them. So pretty! I am going to get the full size Loki one just because I am utterly obsessed with him. I need the others, but samples will have to do for now. The captain America one though....ughhh so sparkly!

So my wishlist/ buylist now includes:

Full size: I am burdened with glorious purpose, You know nothing, and the Nic Cage shadows. Also the petit four and shiny car Nic Cage glosses (Too lazy to type the names out lol)

Samples of the Earth's Mightiest Heroes

 
I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves the Nic Cage glosses. I feel like those are the kinds of things you whip out in public and everyone stares/giggles.

@@meaganola I'm not sure if I asked this yet, but what is the average TAT for Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab orders? I just ordered me some Snake Oil and Croquet!

It can vary widely depending on what's going on. With those two, I'm guessing two or three weeks. They just released the Metamorphosis collection, so there are bonkers orders going on, but small general catalog orders are frequently filled quicker.

And Halloween in Indieworld is going to break me. I can tell already.

Metamorphosis, like Roman mythology? Or like Kafka? :)

 
@@MIKAGlam I Understood That Reference is amazing! It has red duochrome AND silvery white sparkles :wizard:

@@meaganola I empathize with the Halloween collections... I already sense that I'm going to want full-sizes of the Shiro collection (unless I can buy the stickers somewhere else) (and potentially stuff by Notoriously Morbid and i+ta).

 
Does Red Apple Lipstick count as indie? If so, I am now in the club too! Haha, I just purchased their new mascara, The Lash Project, last week when it launched.

I got 20% off and free shipping, and I think $5 off too for signing up for emails. So I got it for a really good price!

Also, they sent me a lipstick sample of 'Audrey', one of their most popular colors (kind of mauvey pink, in a cream finish) AND a full balm - they apparently make this really good balm. That was super sweet! 

Anyway, I haven't tried it yet, but wanted to see if it counted as Indie so I can come down the rabbit hole too!

I just bought 50 5ml jars on amazon but they didn't have sifters.

They work for my Baggie samples.

Thanks, I just picked these up also! I haven't touched a single baggie sample I have yet because..too much trouble...Looks like I'll be making jars this weekend and now I just have to find a sticker that will work so I can label them.  I think I still have extras of those neon garage sale stickers, and I'm hoping those might work :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The Rallye Balm is great stuff! I use a mouthpiece at night for both sleep apnea and teeth-grinding, and my lips end up feeling like alligator skin in the mornings. Rallye Balm applied before bed does a great job of beating the pants off my dryness!

 
@@meaganola oh good!!! I'd feel really weird putting something behind my ears that was inspired by giant cockroaches.

I would however buy Douchebag solid fragrance from Aromi, an Etsy vendor, just because of the name, and because of the hot-and-cold running fantasy I have of doing something to shock my inlaws (because Louie won't let me hang a pair of testicles on the Christmas tree!)

 
I put on the Shiro Nic Cage Speakeasy gloss (from my lovely FGM @@meaganola !) for the first time last week, and I have to let you guys know that just out of the tube it is OH HAI VAMPY FLAPPER GOTH GIRL, and I about freaked out because that is *not* what it looks like in the lips pic online!  It's pretty much the exact color in the tube, which has never happened with me in a gloss before.  However, all I had to do was blot it a bit, and it turned into the most gorgeous deep berry.

And then it lasted ALL DAMN DAY.  And it's now my most favorite thing ever.  I'm wearing it again today with my Bad Wolf teeturtle shirt,  and GCC eyeshadows in Bad Wolf (heh) and Don't Blink.  I'm so nerdy right now AND I LOVE IT.

Are we perchance a Doctor Who fan??? :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I was pleased at all the Buffalo references during the first seasons and especially with David Tennant, who really needs to be served up on a giant dinner plate with a side of A-1. It was supposedly in honor of a local club (in which my husband was very active before he became an old married fart) who kept particularly good archives and so were helpful in piecing together missing episodes.

 
What?  I have no idea what you're talking about... Doctor... Who?  :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That is so awesome!  I've only gotten into the newer series, but um YES on David Tennant on a plate, YUM.

Congrats on your 1000th post!   :mussical:  Yay you!!!

I meant to say the first seasons of the newer episodes, starting with Christopher Eccleston. My favorite remains Dinner...I mean, David Tennant.
