I am a sucker for Harry Potter collections. (Will probably finish rereading The Sorcerer's Stone tonight. Ron just got knocked out by McGonagall's chess set and Hermione's about to kick the potions logic puzzle's ass. No stopping until the end from this point on.) Haven't ordered from Daily Lovelies yet, but that Witches & Wizards set just jumped to the top of my "Must Buy Immediately" list. Good thing I get paid tomorrow. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I'm ready for more Silk Naturals lip products. OMG, those things are amazing! :wub:    I also got one of the cream blushes, and the formula is great.  I have been impressed thus far.  I have not tried any of their foundations.  I'm mainly concerned about finding the right match.

I can't handle keeping this a secret any more since I just got the go-ahead to show it off and brag, and I know there's someone else on this forum in my position.  I wanna know who it is!  Coming in January (my birthday is mid-month-ish, so whatever the release date actually turns out to be, it's going to be right around my birthday, so happy birthday to me!) to GDE (spoilered because SO BIG) (and I only have swatches because I'm terrified of dropping the jar when I try to take a photo of it because it's happened before, and this baby is not currently replacable):

Rose City, after my beloved hometown that WILL NOT LET ME GO no matter how hard I try (I gave up trying to leave in 2009).  Green sparkles to represent the thorns in a rose bush!  Tons of sparkles -- so much my camera can't capture them -- to represent all of the strippers in this city!  (Seriously, we have a *lot* of strippers.  Like more per capita than Las Vegas or Los Angeles.)  And it's lip safe and vegan! 

ETA:  Forgot to mention that the left side is over e.l.f. glitter glue, and the right is blended on bare skin.

Yay!  Congrats, that's so awesome!  Go you!

And whoever else is here with their very own shadow, SPILL.  I wanna know! And see more pretties!

Notoriously Morbid update as of an hour ago:

thank you!! I was wondering when the subs were going to be mailed out - so excited to get this.

Plus, I did two orders as well - a bunch of green eyeshadows and a bloggers package.

 
I decided to get these from the Haus of Gloi - I am sure I will be there next week for their fall scents!  I HAD to get elevenses as I am a big hobbit fan :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm fond of Satyr, too, because of whatever that dark resiny stuff is that drags it out of Shiny Happy Creamsicle.  Vetiver?  Frankincense?  I don't know, but it really works for me.

Darn, I wish I'd had the foresight to search back in this forum before ordering Haus of Gloi scents blind! I ordered Satyr based on the "blood orange and blackened vanilla" description... "resiny" scents are a total no-go for me. LOL, I was actually kind of hoping for a slightly more sophisticated variant of Shiny Happy Creamsicle with that scent description, but all I smell is the resiny note. Off to the trade list it goes, and I'll happily wallow in my newly beloved Honeysuckle Lemon Curd instead!

 
@@marigoldsue Here are some swatches I did a while ago.

All swatches over bare skin, natural light.

L-R: Belle, Peach Dreams, June Bug, Terracotta

Coral Silk, Rose Coloured Glasses, Moon Princess

I have individual swatches of these blushes over foundation as well (they become much more pigmented and rich when swatched over foundation) and blended out - if anyone wants to see those swatches from a particular blush, just let me know.

My favorites (note: I have light-medium skin with warm/yellow undertones) are Peach Dreams, Terracotta, and Rose Coloured Glasses.

Peach Dreams is orange and I have a fondness for orange blushes, so...

Terracotta is matte and more brown than I was anticipating, but sheered out it looks really nice on me.

Rose Coloured Glasses is also matte and is a very natural looking blush on me.

Comments about other blushes:

Moon Princess: I actually quite like this one too because it's kind of cool - it's light pinky-purple with blue glitter and you can see the hint of blue glow in some lighting conditions; I wasn't sure how this would look on me but applied lightly, it comes off as a light pink on my cheeks. I originally ordered a sample and Christine upgraded it to a full-size. I always put this blush on when I watch the Sailor Moon remake :p

June Bug: pretty shimmery and has blue-green glitter (which can be seen when photographed with flash).

Belle: another very natural looking shade; has shimmer

Coral Silk: I got this as a GWP a while ago, this blush isn't listed now, but should be released on the 29th. It's a very nice pink with some shimmer; the powder itself doesn't look very coral-y, but sheered out you may be able to hallucinate the coral.

Thank you.  I think Rose Colored Glasses may be my favorite.

 
I just placed the first of my expected Hello Waffle orders.  I emailed Christine about using the code that came with my GDE July sub and the hold for shipping code.  She told me to use the code in the sub, and put a note in the comments asking her to hold for shipping and she would refund my shipping charges.  She also let me order Hot Cross Bunnies (which is currently out of stock) as part of the set of 5 full sizes.  So I ordered full sizes of Corgi Butts, Hot Cross Bunnies, Fey, Ethereal Voice, Rose Champagne and Well Hello There.  6 full size shadows for just over $22.  Not bad.  Now to decide how many of the other 20 colors I want I am going to allow myself to get in minis with her birthday discount.

ETA:  And it took her exactly 7 minutes to refund me.  See why HW and GDE are by far my two favorite Indie companies!

Ugh I couldn't get any of the Shiro.  I just gave up. I guess since I have my own pressing stuff its okay...that makes those colors not worth it enough for me to waste time trying to get them :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I agree with you.  I didn't care if they were pressed or not.  I just wanted that color and there would be no more of them in loose form.  Otherwise I would not have bothered.

They're going to restock! Hopefully everything will be much smoother the second time around :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
We head home from vacation tomorrow! I've missed my MuT ladies! Ha ha ha. Hoping my GDE OTM, & my FCS box are waiting for me. Then I can place my Shiro order & get my Nightfury! Can't wait to come home & play with my goodies!
