Man that Haus of Gloi stuff went fast. By the time I got to check out, the Samhain perfume oil and Pumpkin Eater and Ghost Puffs pumpkin butter were already sold out. 

I guess I spent less than I'd planned! I have too much pumpkin butter and FCS whipped creams to use up anyway and it really won't be fall for like 2 months here anyway, so I'll get them eventually.

So I bought one of these today (will need way more than one, but will only buy with coupons). How did you get your shadows in there without wasting a ton or making a huge mess? I thought I would try cutting a corner of the baggie instead of opening that. Didn't help much. I either ended up with lots left inside the baggie or lots on the table. Either way I wasted about half of the sample.

I open the Baggie and insert the whole thing in the jar. Then, I can squish and wiggle every last drop out with no mess. image.jpg

 
Question?

I want to sign up for NM's VC, If I sign up now will I get this month's or next month's? If it is anything Tim Curry/ RHPS related I want it!!! I don't want this month's though even though those colors are gorgeous!!

You can't sign up right now - it's sold out. There were only 50 (someone correct me if this is wrong) spots and it sold out within 30 minutes of opening. If Notoriously Morbid sticks with what they have done before, sign up will be the first Friday of the month at midnight EST. I don't know how many slots will be open or if they will be adding more.

Ohhh, I didn'y know that. I was looking at the website and it had a place to sign up. I didn't know it was limited. Well, looks like I will have to set an alarm for once and be ready.

Edit: Now I see that if you click subscribe, it says that it is sold out. My bad, thanks for the info.

No problem! Also, I did check, and NM is expanding the VC for September, so there will be spots for sure.

I am excited for it! I think I am going to cancel myy ipsy and replace it with this sub.

I better write it down in my planner or I will forget. Will it be Thursday Night/ Friday Morning at midnight. Or Friday Night/Saturday Midnight. Does that make sense? Sorry

I am so in support of VC over Ipsy. I got my VC yesterday, and I love it so much. The Apple Glass lip tint is awesome. It smells AND tastes like apple and is moisturizing and is a really wearable purpley red and I can't wait until the weather cools down a little more because I want to wear it all the time. /endliptintrave
If it matches what they've done before it would be Thursday night/Friday morning. That day and time isn't for sure yet. Someone will post it here after NM announces it. If I see if and remember, I will tag you.

Edited because Thursday night/Saturday morning is not a real time. Unless there is some time warp action going on, which could entirely be possible next month.

It would be Friday night/Saturday morning. ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm in Pacific Time, so I had to wait at 9pm Friday evening.

Edit: Ah! I see bellatrix42 got to it before I did! :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Nope, Thursday night/Friday morning.  I just checked my receipt for my subscription:  9:06pm Pacific time on Thursday the 7th.  It sold out shortly after I got mine, and there were some website issues right when it was supposed to go live (instead of taking you to a PayPal checkout page to complete the subscription process, it took you to your main PayPal account page), so it probably would have sold out even more quickly had everything gone according to plan.  There were some initially reserved for international people that did not sell out, and she released those for everyone else the next morning.

ETA:  I fully encourage dropping ipsy in favor of any indie sub.  The catch is that you have to be pretty danged quick in order to catch a slot!

I just dropped Ipsy and I think I will get an indie sub eventually after I decide what I want...such a hard decision when I want them all!

Also I finally swatched the six colors I got from Colourpop.  The photos were taken indoors in natural light with no flash.  All swatches are two finger swipes of product on bare skin, no primer.  They are SO MUCH more intense and beautiful than my phone camera captured.  I really recommend these. They are soft and apply easy with your fingers, and they are not pressed tightly and must be sealed the whole way or they will dry out.

It's so hard to get a slot (unless you're talking about Rainbow Honey) for an indie sub that I would suggest just trying for the first one that has signups.  If you don't get into that (or, more likely once you get hooked, if you manage to make room in your budget for another one!), go for the next.  Repeat until you get into one.  If you have your heart set on a certain sub, just keep trying until you get in.  innocent+twisted alchemy (probably opening on Monday since that's the 1st, although I don't know what time) and Notoriously Morbid's Vanishing Cabinet (see above for a discussion of when that's likely to open) are recurring subs, so once you get a slot, you're good until you cancel.  Glamour Doll Eyes OTM (slots typically open on the 8th of each month at noon Pacific time) is a limited-term sub, so you sign up for one, two, or three months (since six and twelve month slots are no longer available for this year), and then you have to re-sign up once your sub ends.

 
Anybody want to recommend some indie lipstick companies that have bright and unique colors? Right now I'm on a huge indie lippie kick and I just ordered some from Pretty Zombie, Fierce Magenta, and My Beauty Addiction. I want to try MELT lipsticks but the colors I want are OOS.

 
I would DIE for a clue theme!!!! I grew up on that movie. Oh the color possibilities! Oh the name possibilities!

"I am your singing telegram! BANG!"

"I had to stop her from screaming!"

"To make a long story short. . . Too late!"

"Communism was just a red herring"

Oh gosh! Now my husband is quoting the movie word for word as he walks downstairs to get our DVD. Guess what we are watching tonight! Ha ha ha.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go home & sleep with my wife!"

(Now he's laughing. Oh boy! You ladies just made my hubby's night! Clue is his favorite. But he's now telling me I must get any & all clue related makeup if the theme is indeed clue. Score!!!!!

You're right! I double checked my receipt and it was also dated August 7th. Good catch!

Limnit Lipsticks: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LimnitLipsticks

Limnit already took down all of the shades that were having issues/being patchy

Fyrinnae (lip lustres): http://www.fyrinnae.com/index.php?_a=viewCat&catId=3

Generally very well-received, but for some of the crazier-colored ones (like Galaxy Evolution), I recommend searching for swatches and reviews first.

Tell us how the My Beauty Addiction products go! I know their lip products are well-reviewed, but I haven't tried any indie lip products yet myself :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  (trying to use up what I have first)
