Reminder: It's Wednesday, and that usually means something from GDE! You have to join the group and wait to be added (it doesn't take very long, like maybe a few hours during the day), though, and not just like the company page.

I'm excited! It's time for me to have that gold GWP and I think I'll be picking up the highlighter you suggested.
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH I just HATE myself!!! There is no turning back--as Bloom says in "The Producers," "No way out...no way out..."
I have orders standing with Shiro, Darling Girl, GDE, and Limnit Lipstick, with samples still pending from Meow, StarCrushed Minerals, and Etherealle. When they all finally go out, I'm going to give my poor mail carrier the hernia of his lifetime.

Does anyone have the fullsize Infatuation or Texas Tea from Impulse? If so, could you post swatches? I am especially interested in Infatuation. It looks like it might be too light for me, but a pink gold duochrome is perfect for me. I ordered the sample size, it is gorgeous in the clamshell, but I can't really get it to show on my lips.

My Beauty Addiction sale (August 13-17):
25% off all storefronts with code BACK2SCHOOL
https://www.etsy.com/shop/MyBeautyAddiction
http://mybeautyaddiction.com/
My Beauty Addiction is known for their lip products.
I have some of their eyeshadows - and although the shadows are nice, they're nothing special for indies.
I ordered from them several months ago and received my order 2 days after ordering (they did not send out tracking info).
Medusa's Make-Up sale (ends August 17):
take $2 off every item in your cart with code take2
http://www.medusasmakeup.com/
Note: I'm not entirely sure what Medusa's Make-Up's indie status is (they might be considered a very large indie) - most of their products are made in the US (and some are sourced outside), and I don't know if their products are hand-blended (because again, they seem quite large for an indie). Medusa's make-up also sells to different retailers/boutiques (some people have found their things at places like Hot Topic).
Hello Waffle has re-opened
There's no sale, but the old prices are currently in place and will increase on the 22nd. The new collection and new blush shades will be coming out on the 29th (Christine's birthday) - and apparently there will be a sale with this (%off = Christine's age). You can make an order now with the old prices and then make an order on her birthday (the 29th) with code HOLDMYORDER to combine shipping. It's more clear on her facebook page.

Decisions, decisions. Do I use my 10 percent code from my last order, or wait and use the higher birthday code on the higher prices not knowing how much she is raising prices or how old she is. And so I order mostly Painted Flowers, Persinette or Musicians Collection?
I STILL haven't placed that Shiro order. But I have a cart full for Shiro and Chinovi. I have placed orders with GDE, My Pretty Zombie and Dusk Cosmetics this week. And my All that Sass order from last week has shipped. Can someone please change my paypal password?

Not to be creepy, but I think Christine is around 23-25... (she mentioned her age in /r/indiemakeupandmore before, and she's around my age). I, of course, could be totally wrong... but she has graduated college, so 22 might be a safe lower limit guess.
Her new price changes are tentatively:
- Individual eyeshadow sample listings will be removed, but samples can be bought in mix and match packs of 5-10
- Samples of entire collections will still be available
- Eyeshadow minis (previously unavailable): tentatively $3.25 for 1/3-1/2tsp in a 3g jar (will not have custom labels/art; will have generic Hello Waffle label)
- Full Eyeshadow: $6 for 3/4tsp in a 5g jar
- Pressed eyeshadow: $6.50
- Blush samples will still be available
- Blush minis: $5.50 for 3/4tsp in a 10g jar
- Full Blush: $8.50 for 34g (approx 1.5-2tsp) in 20g jar
I kind of want to just buy everything I don't have... (I have the Musician Collection and the Painted Flowers collection and 7 full-sized blushes; a part of me wants samples of all of the other collections; I need help)

@@chibimorph, you are my favoritest, the bestest stalker ever! (Please do Secret Santa this year and please get me, although part of me kind of wants @@Bflopolska because I think one of her overnight orgy bags could rock my world!)
In some ways though, my decision got even harder. I really like mini jars. I tend to only order sample baggies if I am really unsure of the color, it's a color that I like but I see myself using for just a few special looks, or if it is a company that is new to me and I want to kind of test the product. And I rarely order full size jars, because I have so many shadows I would never go through them in full size. Although with three collections calling my name so loudly (although there are a few colors in each that I would not order because I just don't see myself using them) samples seem a little less rough on the pocket book at the moment. Add in the fact that I really like Christine. She and Vee are the two I feel best about ordering from. *sigh*

Aww, thanks! :blush: I don't know if I have time to do Secret Santa this year (or for the next 7-8 years of my life
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />) because I have to focus on my education rather than stalking people on MUT /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And I've seen a couple of swap reveals, and it looks like people go all out and spend lots of time - I won't be able to accomplish that level of craftiness, so... I'll just enable other people, instead! :lol: It sounds like @@Bflopolska is amassing quite the indie collection in addition to her orgy bags, so you can focus your energies on wishing for her to be your Secret Santa!For the Hello Waffle samples... I think she mentioned she might be lowering the price for sample baggies to $1.25 each (sold in packs of at least 5, though). But mini-jars are definitely more convenient (and I think Hello Waffle is trying to focus on selling mini-jars rather than samples).
lalalalala, no-buys suck its for the best but still...I am glad Hello Waffle is open again as I want to try them (still a HW virgin) but I keep telling myself to wait on more purchases until Deadly Hollywood (GDE) and Blood Countess (Notoriously Morbid) I can be strong. *deep breath*
In the meantime, here are swatches from the Glamour Doll Eyes "Pick Your Poison" collection. As a botany fanatic obsessed with natural poisons I knew I needed this collection but the fact that they are sparkly metallic makes them pretty much a perfect set for me. I just love these.
I am currently wearing Lethal and Malicious with Corrode under my eyes and I love it.

Have there been any sneak peeks or swatches released for Blood Countess?
meaganola
Uh Huh Her
Nope. All I know is that it's scheduled for release on the 22nd, and (I need to check this part) fall Coffin Kissers will release either this Friday or with the BC collection.

Bah! I want to see the pretty colors!!!! I'm gonna play my own little violin of sadness...
Awe! Thank you! I have a hard time with auto focus killing my sparkles often though
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I have pretty good lighting opportunities at my current apartment, I hope that doesnt change much when I move. *But huge bonus to new place is I GET MY OWN BATHROOM!* (I share my place with 2 men and a little boy so this makes me immensely happy)I am so impressed with Mushroom it is just so lovely, and Malicious is just simply to die for. I think Malicious is my top fav, but its hard to pick! I love bright colors, but I also love my metallics and darks tooThat is a gorgeous swatch photo! I'm so happy I picked up Mushroom today, Malicious is going on my list next
Not that I have found ANYWHERE....and I am sooo impatient. I have decided that no matter what it is, I will order this collection as a formal "Introduction to Notoriously Morbid" (it keeps me from pulling the trigger too soon at the very least) lol. Elizabeth (Erzsébet) Bathory has always been somewhat of an historical obsession of mine.
I'm impatiently waiting for her return as well as a restock of Oak Bark.
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I also really want the Peppermint Butter Balm. I'm not big on sticking my fingers in lip products, but the description sounds so good I actually don't mind. lolI have Infatuation and Texas Tea. I posted a swatch w/indoor and outdoor lighting towards the beginning of the thread.
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Infatuation is gorgeous and sheer, and Texas Tea is very pigmented and VERY bronze. It's an Autumn-only color for me.
