I'm impatiently waiting for her return as well as a restock of Oak Bark.  :D /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.  lol

@@rachelshine Did you post that list with bulletpoints? If so, what browser are you using? That shows up as a block o'text for me, and I'm thinking it has to do with browser incompatibility, so I want to report it as a (REALLY ANNOYING) bug, but I need to know what browser you're using. Thanks!

It's bullet points in Chrome.

Wow! I'm on a family vacation righ now & my favorite thread is hopping!! Wahoo for indies!!! When I get home I need to make a shiro order (hello Nightfury, I must have you in my life!). I need so many colors in my life. Ladies, we are hopeless! Hopelessly in love with pretty things!

 
@@rachelshine That works! I'm just frustrated with the mobile version dumping the bulletpoints, and it finally occurred to me that I should report it because bullets are *all over* the forum, but if they don't show up for mobile users, why even have them available for the desktop?

That's what I had planned to do.  I've tried using a loose contour powder before and I just ended up with a huge mess.

I pressed a bunch of samples from Shiro recently in Coastal Scents pans. I got glycerin from TKB trading.  Everything was under $25 bucks for my homemade pressing kit!  I used the instructions here: http://hantasticbeauty.blogspot.com/2013/07/diy-how-to-press-loose-eyeshadow-and.html

My biggest tip is to NOT overdo the glycerin...it will never dry if you do that and it'll be a waste of a beautiful indie!

*Like I only put in one drop off the end of a toothpick** 

As a matter of fact...this reminds me I need to use the Ipsy 25% off at CS to order more pans and palettes so I can make another Shiro order  ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

(Psst:  You can usually get glycerin at a drugstore, so you don't need to make a special order.  I think it's typically in the first aid section.)

 
I second the being careful with glycerin if you press! It attracts water and there are a couple of people who have had issues with mold growing in their pressed indies (make sure you clean the pans and let them dry COMPLETELY before pressing). If you're worried about mold, you can try adding a bit of the TKB preservative (it has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties) when you mix/press: http://www.tkbtrading.com/item.php?item_id=1169&category_id=13

 
Sigh.  Heads up:  If you see a shadow on the GDE DQ page, jump on that sucker.  I went back and forth on placing my order for so long that Jayne sold out.  I think it's history.  :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  At least I do have my sample jar.

I have been stalking Shiro's website for days and is it weird that I keep seeing some of the shadows and my first thought is "I want to eat that"

Haha! A couple of posts back, I said they look like "delectable little balls of ice cream" - so you're definitely not alone in thinking that :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
