So my three orders (Haus of Gloi, Fyrinnae, Shiro)  turned into five orders (GDE, Hello Waffle) and I'm this close to adding a NM order.  This thread really is worse than the enablers thread!  I'm starting a low buy on Saturday, and just ordering tons of stuff right before a low buy kind of defeats the point, but....ALL THE SHINY INDIES!!

Hrm...at least I have all day to decide if I'm going to have self control and not make a NM order  :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I hear you @ !  I seriously want the Blood Countess collection, but it would break my low-buy.  BUT FREE COFFIN KISSER.  But my only "allowed" purchase is a small Haus of Gloi order when the fall stuff comes out.  BUT GILDED MIRROR IS SO PRETTY.  

help me i'm poor.

 
For those of you who love some lips, I urge you to look up Etherealle on Etsy. I just got some amazing lip color samples! You can get them in packages of 3 or 5--it was maybe 10 or 12 dollars for the 5 if you don't get a brush with them, and before going "WHAT?!?!?!" at the price let me say that you get a great amount in each little clamshell. For those of you familiar with the jars of Limnit Lipstick, you get maybe half of a jar's content per clamshell. I have made several applications of my colors already and have barely made a dent in the very center of the sample. In other words, enough to get you through many, many glasses of wine on several girls' nights out! Her turn-around time was excellent, I think it might have taken all of 4 days before I had my order at my doorstep. Most importantly, my poor allergic hubby did not get one breakout from the drop-off-at-work kiss! (One thing I am really liking about indies, I am finding that they are less likely to affect his skin on contact than many commercial brands.)

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!

That's awesome your other orders are coming with the VC! I wish I thought of asking for that!

 
Well, I caved and purchased more NM...this thread is such an enabler.

I got my NM Blood Countess order in this morning.  And my Hello Waffle pre-price change order I did last week.  It seems like there was something else I needed to order in this time frame that I am forgetting.  Anyone know what it is?

It's not the GDE Deadly Hollywood, since that is permanent I decided to wait on it for a bit.  And the Haus of Gloi fall release is what Sunday?  I don't think I am tempted by any of those.  And I didn't have anything on the Geek Chic list of discontinues that I wanted.  But I still feel like I am forgetting a sale, or a limited edition, or a discontinuation.

There were the Aromaleigh $.50 shadows, was that it?

I didn't ask for it - she just did that.  I did place 3 orders all in one day, so that is probably why! lol

Haha nice!! If my VC arrives with my order from that day with it, I would be over the moon. But I'm expecting it will probably go out in the next shipment. I placed the order the same night I got my sub.

 
Speaking of combining orders and refunding postage, Haus of Gloi just did that for me without being asked, and my orders were several days apart, so that means that one of my orders was pushed up in the queue! I was totally not expecting that.

 
I just received shipping info for my innocent+twisted alchemy order! (25% off sale; ordered August 15 and shipped August 22).

I also just started playing with the Darling Girl Superstar Serum and I'm really liking it so far :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I mixed one drop with Shiro's Lingered in Twilight. One drop is way too much for one use, though, so I need to figure out how to dispense it the way I want. And since we were talking about Darling Girl TAT... I ordered July 27 and received shipping info on August 8.

Random note of no-consequence: Darling Girl spelled my name wrong when she wrote "Thanks, [name]!" - it amused me for about 1 minute.

If I missed this, my apologies, but for the giant Geek Chic sale next week, are the samples going to be discounted? Do we know? If not I might just grab some now to avoid the craziness of the sale.

Ahh I misread your question!
I decided to buy what I wanted today. I only wanted a few things that were being discontinued and they were only eyeshadow samples anyway to just avoid the madness.

Last time around, if I recall correctly, they were not. Full-sized only. I think that was actually how I realized there were samples available: They specifically said the markdown did not apply to samples.
