My Louie is a very old-school Doctor Who fan, and he's not getting the thing with makeup--it makes him scratch his head so bad he knocks his turban askew! "WHY would you want TARDIS eyeshadow--you'd look horrible in it!" I can't fault him for his honesty. He can barely get anything but toys tied in to any given TV show; the first time he saw a TV-branded body wash (Unfortunately, it was Saved By The Bell) he was completely confused.

clue was my favorite game as a kid. I liked the movie too - I think Lesley Ann Warren is just stunning in this film and she is so funny as well!! The singing telegram girl - that was one of the Go-Go's, if I remember correctly :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Jane Weidlin, the rhythm guitarist. She was also Joan of Arc in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure!

Clue was my absolute favorite board game! My best friend and I used to play all the time and we'd take turns being Miss Scarlet. I remember eventually we stopped sorting the cards and would just pick three random ones so we couldn't narrow it down as easily.

I was just glancing at Tim Curry's imdb filmography and I had no idea he did so many cartoon voices. Or that he was the dad in Wild Thornberrys which my brother and sisters and I used to watch on Nickelodeon all the time!

 
Ooh, my initial speculation after I realized that the photo was not in-character was correct! Fingers crossed that Pennywisr is represented!

 
Haha, when I think of Tim Curry, I think of RHPS and Muppet Treasure Island. I've never watched Clue or played the boardgame, but I do enjoy Kill Doctor Lucky :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My innocent+twisted alchemy order is scheduled for delivery today - but the status update doesn't say it's out for delivery.... hopefully i get a surprise when I get back to my apartment this evening! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ETA: ... and Aromaleigh is coming out with a Halloween collection based on Dante's Inferno! They also have a fall collection (Dryades) that looks awesome.

My Darling Girl and Haus of Gloi orders are out for delivery! I think I'm most looking forward to the DG Momentary Marvel. Limited edition duochromes/multichannel are probably my biggest weakness!

 
My Vanishing Cabinet is out for delivery!!!  :w00t:

So my current indie obsession is now perfume oil samples. Yesterday I bought 16 different ones. I got 4 with my Haus of Gloi order and then immediately proceeded to buy 9 imps from BPAL. Then last night I decided to get 4 sample sizes from Antimony Blue after reading about them in the NM Crypt.

I'm currently restraining myself from buying more from Black Violet and One Hand Washes The Other who I also read about from the same facebook thread and now have carts at. 

 
My shiro order came! It was missing the He Loves His Hammer sample which was the sample I was looking forward to the most, but I am so in love with everything else that it's no big deal. I'll just order it again next time.

I am so glad I got a full size Burdened With Glorious Purpose. Not because of Loki (partly because of Loki), but the color is GORGEOUS! It will get used a lot!

I'm also glad I got a mini jar of the I Understood That Reference.

The biggest surprise was that Red in My Ledger lipgloss is the oxblood color I've been looking for!! Its perfect! I will definitely be buying a fullsize!

You should definitely send Caitlin an email about the missing sample! (via the Contact page on the Shiro website). This happened to me once - I emailed Caitlin and she sent it out (with 2 extra eyeshadow samples) the same day!

I love I Understood that Reference! The red duochrome really surprised me when I put it on my eyelids for the first time.

I saw this and nearly died last night.

I am beginning to realize that Aromaleigh is exactally my sort of makeup company with my sort of history/mythology/literature references that make my heart oh so happy. <3

So I havent had time to do swatches or anything because this past weekend (and today and tomorrow) is the last push to get things out of my old apartment (and clean) into the new one. But my Shiro order came (yay Yzma's Essence of Llama and Nightfury! *and a couple samples*) and my Aromaleigh order came! (second sample for about 13 discontinued shades and 9 double samples of new *to me* discontinued ones)

SO MANY SPARKLES!!!

 
Shiro has AMAZING customer service. I emailed her about my missing sample and she gave me the choice to have her ship it out or store credit for the sample and shipping, because I mentioned that I was going to place another order soon. I chose store credit. I'm definitely going to be purchasing a lot more from her. Great company! I NEED ALL THE LIPGLOSSES! Holy poo they stay forever! Amazing!

 
Wahoo!!!  My first Shiro order just arrived.  Nic Cage gloriousness is all mine!!!  I got the Nic Cage Nibbling Petit Fours in a Posh Victorian Tearoom gloss as well as the Nic Cage Raking Leaves on a Brisk October Afternoon Eyeshadow (which I bought for a laugh, but I'm actually in LOVE with the color), & Nightfury of course.  I can't wait to go upstairs & play with it all.

And, thank to @@marigoldsue who was my swap buddy & bought me my first Rainbow Honey polish, I'm now subscribed to her mystery bag of mini polishes each month. Oh heavens.

The hubby leaves for a couple months next week & I can tell I'm starting to get depressed because the retail therapy has already started.  Look out indie companies, Dani's hubby is gone so be ready to fulfill orders so she can bask in glittery happiness to keep her mind off of having her sweetheart away!!!!

Maybe we need to tell him to change the account numbers before he goes!

My VC is here!  I took two pics, one with the fading daylight, which of course is blurry but gives a good indication of the sparkles and one with flash, which one color looks BLUE under the flash, but is actually a deep purple

from left to right

All colors, except Seek Not Revenge look like the flash pic.  For some reason that one was hard to capture.

graceful torment, Seek Not Revenge, Moments that Illuminate, Time is Fluid Here, Stories By the Fire, Glass Apples lip balm

Isn't graceful torment applied pretty much nothing like the jar color? I was really astonished by how different it was.

And, ooh, the official announcement about the next one is supposed to come out today or tomorrow! I'm really curious to see how things are going to be handled now that it's officially a sub.

(And I wore Morpheus today, but I really should have worn something with a bit more color. It's a lovely purple-gray, but we're not having lovely purple-gray weather right now. Time to go back to tropical brights, at least for a few more days!)

 
@@meaganola at first I thought I had mixed seek not revenge in with it or something, because the pan is such a light color.  But it really comes out a beautiful mauve with rose flashes.
