Yeah this thread is WAY more dangerous for me than the enabler's thread.  GWP at Ulta?  I'm not spending $50 there, and it's mostly foils.  New UD palette?  Nah, I've got enough palettes.

50 CENT INDIE SAMPLES FROM AROMALEIGH? EYE PIGMENT COLLECTIONS BASED ON SHERLOCK/DOCTOR WHO/HUNGER GAMES???

TAKE MY MONEY.

*sigh*  I'm helping small businesses.... I'm helping small businesses...

I was poking around trying to find a current review of the fall Haus of Gloi scents, and discovered this wonderful blog that has tons of Indie perfume reviews! So if you're looking to get into Indie perfume, check out this blog: http://www.lipstickandlibraries.com/category/perfume/indie-perfume/
Argggh, ended up making a purchase from Alchemic Muse because oh my god, I am weak. Indie shadows and soaps and body butters are all well and good, and in the end I can resist, but indie perfume oils? Never. I have to physically take myself away from the computer or I will buy something. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I wanted to too, but I find that if they make it too difficult for me to find scents and notes and samples, that I just close the tab. I will have to look later when I'm more serious about ordering something from them because I am interested.

 
Just discovered Haunt after going down the rabbit hole farther, which is great because tomorrow at 4PM PST she will be doing a restock that apparently is made-to-order, meaning things will not sell out immediately! I've already got a list of what to get, it's all from the summer collection, and she won't be doing a fall collection, so get them while they're hot! I've heard great things about the Glossing Oils, so I'm going to grab a few of those.

I'm basically heartbroken rn because one of my favorite Etsy sellers put her shop on vacation with no notice on Facebook (she'd just added new products, too!) and now, all of a sudden, the shop is deleted entirely.

I'm bummed because I loved her mineral foundations, and I really wanted to order more, but even more so, I hope she is okay, because she is a really sweet woman and I am so worried that something is seriously wrong. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I've left a message on Facebook but have no idea if she's even able to respond.

ACK!!! May I ask which vendor? I've been getting ready for a pile of foundations and finishing powder.

 
FWIW the owner, Victoria, is AWESOME
Yeah, I'm going to second that! She is so quick in getting her orders out, and do nice about adding a few extra sample goodies. I just made a larger order just because I ordered on a Wednesday morning and when I came home from work that Friday there was my packet of samples! I thought the shadows were great too, they wear like crazy.

 
Well, crap.  No Haus of Gloi restock today after all, *and* they're closing down for a few days to catch up.  Le sigh.  Well, I guess this is a sign from the universe that I need to across the street and see _How to Train Your Dragon 2_ *now*.  In related news, Shiro Nightfury!  Get it before it's gone!  So pretty and sparkly!

Well, crap! This might explain why my order was messed up. I'd ordered samples of Satyr and Rose city along with matching mini scrubs; I received the scrubs and one sample of Old Cider Haus. They replied promptly that they would get my samples in the mail directly, but now it looks like I can anticipate further delay, drat!

 
I'm so sad.  Not as sad as the girl on their FB page that cancelled plans just to catch stuff in the restock, but sad.

Crossing my fingers they come back soon!

Arbor Rouge Cosmetics. She's been "on vacation" for quite some time, perhaps for even longer than I realize, but since May or beginning of June at the latest. She had posted on FB a restock with all-new products on May 18th, and I went to place an order in July and the shop wasn't operating. Nothing on FB since the May post, either. :scared:

 
Just made a Hello Waffle order during the birthday sale and just another Darling Girl order for the Superstar Serum, Glitter Glue and some eyeshadows :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> All these coupon codes will be the bane of my wallet!

 
I am itching for another shiro order! I'm waiting to see what the OTM color is first though. When are the new ones usually released?

I would expect tomorrow even though it's a holiday. Holidays and weekends don't seem to slow down the Indies!

 
Anyone else grabbing an Innocent+Twisted Alchemy subscription? 

I was trying to, but I'm at work & have to do it on my phone..when I load the page there's just a picture, no options for subscribing :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't see anything but the photo either. I wasn't planning on subscribing because it's so hard to get, but now that it's time I was hoping to get it...oh well. Another time I guess.
