You guys crack me up!!!! I've been busy busy lately, but I always make time to read the indie thread at night which usually results in more shopping. Ha ha ha!

Now I'm off to bed. 5 am wake up call! 1st day of school for 4 of my 6 kiddos. Once that bus takes off I'm going to buy myself some pretties to celebrate! I think I need some fall scents. What should I get????

I know! I love it! I know there was a suggested CoTM for a 'Genie, You're Free" color in memory of Robin Williams, but I did notice that Shiro plans to donate a portion of the profits for this color to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, which I thought was a great gesture and a way to do something in memorial even if the color didn't get voted for.

I think the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention actually made a statement against the "Genie, You're Free" meme because it could be a trigger for people who are contemplating suicide; I'm very glad that Caitlin decided to donate part of the profits to suicide prevention.

That being said... I already ordered "I Am Groot" and I'm super excited for it!

It's so pretty! I think I might wait for when she does a palette restock and see what all I want to buy then and make it one big purchase instead of 2 medium sized ones, haha

I have seen a few unfavorable reviews of the palette and pressed shadows, I would check those out before deciding! I know I personally would rather stick to the loose pigments, as some of the palette shades were very chalky.

ETA: Well ok they weren't unfavorable reviews, but some of the shadows looked way too chalky for my taste. Just wanted to give a heads up!  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I purchased one of the pressed shadows.  I won't say I was exactly disappointed, but I have noticed that I loose a lot of shadow off of the pan.  The brush seems to loosen up a lot of shadow that falls off after.

 
I totally forgot that Life's Entropy was going to start offering monthly mystery bags.  I missed the one for September.  But October is available to order.  It's $20 and will include two full sized and three sample sized products.

I didn't see or hear anything about the September one even going up for sale...I wonder if she delayed it and just changed it to October.

 
Eek! At least three orders are being delivered today! French Girl Organics, Beauty Bar Baby, and Sugar Skull Minerals, all of whom have some of the fastest shipping I have ever encountered. A Hello Waffle order sent a week ago may or may not be among my haul, as I am unable to track it. This promises to be a slooooooowww day...!

 
Okay. I think I have to order the I Am Groot from Shiro. I've never made a purchase from Shiro, what else do I HAVE TO HAVE for my first order??

Edit: I already have samples of the Tributes collection and might be making full size purchases of Baker's Boy and maybe a few others.. but what else is unique and necessary?

A full size You Know Nothing

I hear great things about the Nic Cage glosses, you can get the whole set in samples for $1 cheaper than it would be separate. There are also any of the Detrivore colors of the month to check out. You can always sort by color and go through each color category to see if there's anything that jumps out at you!

A gloss (they have a very unique texture and can be blotted down so they're not overwhelming in color) and/or a tinted lip balm! I'm planning on getting I Am Groot and Saturday Night Fever gloss.

So, as part of my effort to exercise restraint and not spend all my money on awesome Indie eyeshadows (I'll be the best looking person in the poorhouse!) I did some quick swatches so I could determine if anything I already have is similar to I Am Groot.  I eventually concluded that I'll have to wait for my Hello Waffle order to arrive before I can be sure, since I ordered a couple more shadows in this category from her.  I'm a sucker for green/gold.  Also purple anything.

Anyway, I thought I would post these, in case y'all were interested :) .  These are just a quick swipe on bare skin, window light.  From top to bottom, Fyrrinae Tyr, Fyrrinae Dressed to Kill, Besame Pistachio (I don't think they make eyeshadow anymore, glad I have this!) and Fyrinnae Lucky Charmed.

Ditto the Nic Cage glosses.  I also have Who Swallowed a Star (tinted lip balm) on my order for this month. 

Also on my order list is Doge, I Tried, Yzma's Essence of Llama, Alkahestry, 1-Up Blush and the Always Angry Finishing Powder.

My first order had Cake,  Filth, I Loved a Maid, Women's Weapons, He Loves His Hammer, and Mother of Dragons in addition to the Nic Cage Saturday Night Fever gloss.  And I received a sample of Angry Cuccos.

Alkahestry is gorgeous.  I got a sample jar last time I ordered and I may need a full size in the future.  I also really like the Revive blush and the Red Wedding gloss.  I may need to travel to the deepest depths of the rabbit hole and order a custom gloss.

 
So I have been away from my laptop since Thursday as I have been Staff for a local Anime convention, and during one of my "breather" breaks I checked my email while flopped in bed and saw the posts here about I+T subs RIGHT after midnight. Because of this thread I was able to snag a reoccurring sub (and my first I+T order!)
I was totally not thinking about it at all. That's a whole new level of enabling for me hahaha!
Seriously though, thank you to everyone in this group, I LOVE all the feedback, tips and experiences here :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Doge is my latest obsession. It's not really that unique but it is the absolutely most perfect neutral champagne color EVER. I have been wearing it non stop for a week.
