That is so smart!! I have also found that perfume sample vials fit perfectly in an empty Almay eye makeup remover pad container.

My innocent+twisted alchemy order arrived yesterday! Everything is so adorable and I want MOAR! :lol:
Not sure if I'll be able to snag a subscription this month (and I already really like the look of the items in her regular line of stuff, so even if I don't get a subscription it'll be okay). I'm still trying to plan out what indie purchases I'm going to allow in September for my low-buy, because October, November, and December are probably going to get a bit crazy with all of the sales and collections that are going to come out.

My Haus of Gloi order came today, and my Shiro and Hello Waffle orders both shipped
I haven't smelled everything in my order yet, but the ones I have are fantastic. I'm going to be needing some full sizes! I really like the Satyr sugar scrub and the Horseman pumpkin butter. The perfume oil samples I got from the fall collection smell great, especially Spider Silk, though I haven't tried them on yet, so I'll have to see how they react with my skin chemistry. I want to order some of the hair oil, but it's going to be so hard to narrow down the list of scents I want!

@ Oh what my order hasn't even shipped yet. Can't believe you got yours that fast!
@@Kelly Silva I think they had my previous order just about ready to go, so when they combined shipping they just had to toss in the new ones. I lucked out /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mine was also delivered already, just waiting on my husband to grab it from the post office! Can't wait!

I thought Haus of Gloi was restocking their fall scents today, but it looks like they are all sold out /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ive been following off and on since about noon (4 hours ago) and It hasn't gone live yet, I think? People have been asking via their FB page since about 9am this morning and I haven't seen the announcement yet. I wasn't going to get excited over this release (as there are SO many fall collections coming out) but I have read the description for Spider Silk and I seriously want it now.I thought Haus of Gloi was restocking their fall scents today, but it looks like they are all sold out

how do I get the samples on that site? I can't figure out how to use the site?
Maybe I'm using the wrong site?
I've been trying to find a indie brand that will allow me to get samples either without the 10$ limit or free shipping because I only have 13$ left in my paypal account until next week! D:
Glamour Doll Eyes offers free shipping on samples. They do have a $10 minimum, but the shipping is free if your entire order is samples. And they offer two sizes of samples, baggies and jars.

Does anyone have some insight they can provide on the longevity/wear time of indies? It has been hot and humid here and I wore some GDE shadows these last few days and they are almost non existant by mid day and after the gym I had clumps of sweated off shadow near my tear ducts.
Is the key using something like foil me (from GDE) the key or is it because indies tend to be loose powders vs packed (in a traditional palette) that affects wear time etc?
TIA! I have not had these issues on days when I wear makeup from major makeup brands.

Get yourself an eye primer, that helped me and made a huge difference in hot weather.

Thanks. I already use an eye primer just not a indie specific one. Do I need to use an indie specific one?
I have like 12 different eye primers I can try in case it is just this primer but I use this primer with even CS shadows and have no issues even in heat and work outs.

Hmm well I'm no expert either, all I know is I had the same problems until I used my theBalm primer and then the shadows stayed on much better. I have no experience with Foil Me, but that might help with staying power. GDE Foil Me is out of stock until October though.

I use my regular NARS primer. I use foil me on top of the primer if I am using a duo chrome shadow. It brings the colors out more vividly. I am not an expert by any means and am not sure what it does with normal loose shadows. I do know a lot of people use a glitter adhesive over their primer with indies, I just bought some but have not worn it out yet. But a lot of the swatches I see seem to just be done over primer. I have not had any issues with my NARS primer.

I think staying power varies with the product/formulation (more than even the brand).
I currently use the eye primer by the Balm, and some of my Aromaleigh shadows "stain" my eyelids when I use them (when I did arm swatches over primer or glitter glue (Pixie Epoxy), I noticed that the glitter glue swatches wiped off easily with a makeup wipe but the swatches over the primer were very hard to get off). I also noticed that many of Shiro's Avengers collection shades swatched over primer were also hard to get off.
Another (potential?) issue may be which GDE shadows you were using. Unblended shadows may have poorer staying power in contrast with a blended shadow, which has binder that may also allow it to adhere better to skin.
