I know this may have been asked before but...Haus of Gloi recommendations! My perfumes of choice are either citrus-fruity with a light, white-floral influence; very rich, spicy Oriental blends; or chypre-types with a strong patchouli element. I'd really like to try some of these...what to do, what to do?!

I'd say Honeysuckle Lemon Curd which they only have in the soaps, lotions and scrubs, not perfume. Or Rose City which is a mix of rose and patchouli.

Speaking of Elizabeth Bathory, no sneak peeks on anything from that collection (yet), but there's apparently a little of everything in it, so, ugh, I'm a little nervous about how much money I will have to spend! Because I *will* need it all.

Yep.  I will definitely be salivating over that collection.  Good bye money.  I own so many Elizabeth Bathory related items.  My favorite being the McFarlane figurine I purchased years ago.  She sits on my vanity.  :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 

 
I just placed my first Shiro order! I had to be good though and make it a small order.

I bought:

Full size Burdened with Glorious Purpose

Mini Jar of I Understood that Reference.

Sample sizes of all the other Earth's Mightiest Hereos shadows and a sample of the Red in My Ledger gloss.

It took all my will power to not buy the Nic Cage stuff.

I still want to purchase the Daily Lovelies Cumberwitch duo so I may go ahead and place that order.

ETA: BAHAHA did it change the B word to witch?! lol

They had a trio at Emerald City Comic Con!  I think they called it Cumbercookies.  It was the Cumberwitch duo plus a third called On the Side of the Angels:  A very gold-sparkly blue-green that I just made the mistake of opening in front of my fan to check the color.  Everything I have form them is super sparkly!  I think there's something about the Pacific Northwest that makes indies grab all of the glitter.  Shiro, GCC, Espionage, and Daily Lovelies:  Sparkle and shimmer all over the place.

Awww that one sounds pretty, too bad about the fan :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  So it is something that I should definitely pick up?

I would say yes, but I always say yes!  Swatches:


L to R, top to bottom:

  • Who'd Want Me for a Flatmate?, I Am Sherlocked, On the Side of the Angels (not available on the site.  I'm not sure whether this was a color they sold out of and can't make more of, a special color they made just for cons/in-person sales, or some other situation, but it's not on the site)
  • Exterminate!, Time and Relative Dimension in Space, Emerald City (not available.  Emerald City Comic Con exclusive, free with purchase of over $40, if I recall correctly)
  • I Solemnly Swear I Am Up to No Good, Pensieve, Polyjuice Potion
  • The Snitch, The Boy Who Lived, Chocolate Frogs

The bottom two rows are the Witches & Wizards collection.  I happened to have these already swatched and photographed, so I just dug the photo out of my archive.  As with every sparkly shadow, my camera cannot pick up the shine!  These are all super sparkly and super gorgeous.

Aaah!!!  It's good to be home.  What did I do to celebrate?  Shopped at Shiro of course.

Product Quantity Price Nightfury 1 $6.00 Nic Cage Raking Leaves on a Brisk October Afternoon (#cage01) 1 $6.00 Nic Cage Nibbling Petit Fours in a Posh Victorian Tearoom (#cage03)
Size: Full Size Tube (15 mL)
I made the order for Nightfury, but how on Earth is one supposed to resist Nicolas Cage hilarity?  I'll have to make an order each month until I have all the Nic Cage lip glosses in my possession.  I CANNOT WAIT to pull that thing out of my purse & put on my pretty gloss as Nic Cage nibbles petit fours in a posh victorian tearoom.  Oh my gosh!  I'm laughing just thinking about it.

Oh boy.  Can't wait for this order to come in.

 
I have had money burning a whole in my pocket all weekend and I have not been able to bring myself to buy anything.  I have been shopping in real life and online.  I haven't made a single purchase.  HELP.  Someone enable me.

 
@@trekkersangel the Nic Cage glosses are the most pigmented things I've ever had. My poor little brain goes "hmm feels like a gloss let's just slop it on!" And then I spend the next 5 minutes blotting and getting it BACK in my lip lines. Fair warning ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> oh and the petit four one will look way too brown if you use too much.

They're so awesome and perfect though! Super hydrating, and the color stays on far beyond my expectations for a gloss. I just need to get the application down!

 
So I just placed my first ever order with Colourpop! Hopefully they get here soon and I can swatch :)

@@trekkersangel A Shiro order each month sounds like a great idea this time of year! There's going to be a Halloween collection in October and probably a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale in November/December (in addition to CotMs) :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@marigoldsue Hello Waffle sale, innocent+twisted alchemy sale (unless you already bought a subscription and will get a 30% off code), GDE Deadly Hollywood, Scaredy Cat Cosmetics, and more pressed Shiro stuff is supposedly being released tomorrow ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@kaitlin1209 Those look super cute! Animal (I checked this shade because it looks so pretty!) is a neon "pigment," though and the site says "Not intended for use in the immediate eye area." I would take a look at the ingredients when you receive it, since it's not listed on their site (it's most likely no big deal and is a similar thing with the UD Electric Palette, but just fyi). The ColourPop website has ingredients lists for their other, normal shades.  ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 
I just snagged the mean girls collection from Candii Blossom! So excited for this one!

 
Welp, I caved and ordered five trial vials from Scaredy Cat. Nevermore though! It was beautiful!

I am officially cutting myself off for the rest of the month!! I really need to resist all the pretties! Even the GDE Deadly Hollywood. I won't even look at it. I really need to save money! I start school in two weeks. At least my eyes will be all glittery for class.
