GDE Deadly Hollywood eye shadows (sample sizes) are out for delivery!!! *I have intentionally not done my makeup today yet so I can play* 
Also, this is my first package delivery at my new appartment so here's to hoping everything goes through without issue!

 
It's a bummer that you guys missed Up All Night to Get Loki.
I know! So sad. Even just the name is amazing. I think realizing I missed out on that one is what made me feel the immediate need to buy the one I did.

I decided to dive into BPAL even though I know I'll be ordering more perfume oils Sunday when Haus of Gloi's fall collection launches. I was thinking about getting the Allure fall beauty box, but I realized I'd rather use that money for this instead! 

I have a cart all ready to go with a vanilla imp pack (Eat Me, Light of Men's Lives, Lyonesse, Mouse's Long and Sad Tale, O, and White Rabbit) and then imps of Blood Kiss, Bread-and-Butterfly and Hollywood Babylon. 

I want to try The Last Unicorn because it seems really interesting but isn't available as an individual imp and I don't really buy full sizes of fragrance without smelling them first. (I would go into Sephora to try on a scent before I even added a certain mini for a free GWP.) 

 
Order came in (and on a day when I could play with them immediately too!) Here is my GDE order. (I forgot to do the DC discount for Urban Trash but it ended up to be better in the long run because I got the GWC and extra samples!) I did my FOTD to reflect more of a Hollywood "glam" side of things.

EDIT: OMG, I MEANT CELESTIAL CROW, NOT COW....OOPS....

My Candii Blossom order came! I got the mean girls collection plus a few randoms. They are all eye shadows but I plan to wear them as blushes. They threw me off at first because they are not pigmented like the gde blushes, but that's easier for me to work with for blush. I think creamsicle is the perfect highlighter I have been looking for.

L-R: life ruiner, get in loser, the rules of feminism, cool mom, spring fling, candii orchard, creamsicle.

Oh gosh, my best friend NEEDS that Mean Girls collection...that use to be our HS comfort show next to Miss Congeniality. Looks like I know what to get her! (she also LOVES pink) Thank you for the swatches!!

 
I saw this on Facebook, and thought I'd pass it along.

I wonder if any of those are tinted?  I have SO many lip balms.  I went thru all of my lip balms last night and I have TOO MANY OF THEM.  And of course, I had tried each and every one of them when I got them - lol

I made myself a promise to try and get thru a few of those lip balms by the end of the year, by using them as part of my nightly beauty treatment.  Just slather my lips in a nourishing balm.

I will purchase a tinted one, however :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Got my shipping for the Vanishing Cabinet today!!

And my Scaredy Cat trial vials arrived and are hands down the cutest things ever. 
I have a Scaredy Cat order planned for November (I have Phoenix Tears, Draconia, and Rose Gold (all full-size) on my wishlist)! The jars and vials are super cute :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Tomorrow is the last day to order from Hello Waffle at the old prices! Remember, you can hold your order until the new collection comes out (based on Fringe) with code: HOLDMYORDER (there should be a sale with the release of the new collection)

Currently struggling with whether I want to get Hot Cross Bunnies, the Space Duo, and Galaxy Dust and then order more stuff during the sale. I already have so much Hello Waffle stuff, already ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Darling Girl TAT, in case anyone was wondering:  I placed an order on the 2nd and received a shipping notice today, so that's, what, just about three weeks?  It's not in the possession of USPS yet, so I'll just go ahead and round this up to three weeks, which is actually shorter than their stated TAT of 18-20 business days since three weeks = 15 business days!

Dream of the 90s (Nail Polish)
So some collections are going to be gone, and some will just be pruned.

ETA:  At first, I wanted to get all of the ones I don't have, but, really, if they're going to be discontinuing a ton of shades, I'll just stick to fandoms I actually care about, and I already have most of those!  I can get away with just picking up samples of the Go Boldly collection (even though I don't actually watch _Star Trek_ aside from the Abrams reboot franchise, I keep thinking that I should circle back and watch the original series at the very least) and Riddle Me This.

(And if there's a collection on that list you want, jump on it ASAP.  Stuff sells out *very* quickly once The Reckoning starts.  We're talking cart-jacking quickly.)

Does anyone here have NM's eyeshadow in "Douglas Firs"? I love the green, and I'm curious about it's transitioning qualities.

I got Phoenix Tears! I had to almost just because of the name. I got Teal Deer, Ring-a-ling, Y So Sirius and Bacchus as well. At first I was thinking I'd only ever order the vials because they're *that* cute but then I actually looked at the jar packaging on the pictures and those might be even cuter!

I placed a Hello Waffle order a few days ago for 5 full size shadows and I picked out Hot Cross Bunnies, Corgi Butts, Whale Hello There, Walternate and Eternity. When I realized the new collection was going to have Walternate on it, I emailed her to see if I could swap Walternate out and she got back to me super fast and said I could although she said it's a bit different like Walternate 2.0 so I decided to keep it anyway.

Yay good to know! THanks!!

I placed my first order last night because I really wanted the grumpy cat COTM and then I decided to get a sample bag set as well. While I was picking out colors, I was looking at the facebook page and saw a swatch of the 10 Chalupas GWP from a couple weeks ago and really liked it. I saw the "Doesn't hurt to ask" box so I asked if it was possible to get that one instead of the current GWP. 

But then after I ordered I realized my subtotal came out under $10 and didn't even qualify for a GWP. I sent a facebook message and asked if I could add to it and got a response today that it was no problem to add on or to get the 10 Chalupas instead and she gave me a code to use to add to my previous order. Super nice and awesome! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Ooh, I forgot that I had a 20% off code for NM floating around!  Blood Countess (OMG THE DUOCHROMES, YOU GUYS!) Customer Crypt pre-sale accomplished!  Mini-sized collection and Cara & Mel's Rampage Coffin Kisser snagged for under $20 including postage!  I don't have a case of the gimmies for the polish as I do for the rest of the collection, but the shadows, lipgloss, and blush purchased individually were more than all six pieces are as a set, so I just went for the set since it will be a nice nail color for Christmas. 

 
Got my Blood Countess mini set and a Booberry's Cookies coffin kisser. I waffled back and forth trying to decide whether or not I should get a mini or a full size for about an hour before I decided. So much Notoriously Morbid pretties on their way to me! I think I'm most excited for all those orders right now.  

eta can't believe I just used the wrong "there". Must be because I'm delirious with anticipation of all my orders.

I restrained myself - just 2 of the Blood Countess eyeshadows.  the mini in Gilded Mirror and Goblet of Red.   I have a lot of goodies coming from NM - she bundled my 2 orders with my subscription, so I will get my green shadows (I ordered several of them!), my beauty bloggers special and the VC.

I do not know when she will ship out the firefly items, but if it is late next week, I won't see them until I get back from vacation!
