Haha here's what I got:

Psychopathic Tendencies - creamsicle orange with a green duochrome and blue shimmers

Sea Spirit - reddish brown undertone with a green sheen that shifts to aqua at different angels. Filled with blue and red sparks

Peachy - warm creamsicle orange with violet shift filled with purple sparks

Digital Love - light pink base changes to a deep pink, and a warm lilac purple. The sparkling highlights changes from aqua to green, depending upon the lightening, and the angle

Mystic - glowing blue with flashes of purple, and greenish yellow sparkles

Safety Net - pale bronze with turquoise shimmers, filled with orange, and gold sparks

Planetary Living - light baby blue shifts to a glowing green, then transform to shimmering pink sheen, depending upon the angle, and how close to the light the eyeshadow is.

Oceanic Expedition - navy blue fill with gold, and purple sparks

Archangel - vanilla with multicolour sparks

Fish Tank Amusement - blackend metallic teal with blue and green shimmers

Altered Ego -  stunning pinkish red shifts to seafoam green with purple and red sparks

Artificial Intelligence - purplish red shifts to a coppery orange, transforms to a golden green, depending upon the angle, and how close to the light the eyeshadow is. Filled with blue, and green sparkles.

Robot Takeover - subtle silver sheen over a light navy blue base, fill with purple sparks

Swimming Elephant - beautiful lush emerald over an matte grey base, with turquoise, and gold sparkles

Urban Graffiti - blackened antique gold, filled with orange, and red sparks

Probably the least purple I've ever got in an order. Also, here's a random blog post/review I found:

http://kissmysparkle.blogspot.com/2013/12/review-swatches-eccentric-cosmetics.html

The only one she didn't review favorably was Swimming Elephant but I figured I'd give it a shot since her review was 9 months ago and the formula could have changed since then. They look pretty and sparkly though!

 
I ordered an i+ta sample size trial sub on Monday. I got a PayPal confirmation for my order but nothing directly from i+ta. Is this normal?

I also made a small GDE order on Monday because Dino Spotz was back in stock and it has been on my wish list for a long time. It came today! I also got Juicy Mango and Ms Monroe. She sent samples of Sex Appeal and Pollution. I am in love with the September GWP. It's so shimmery and perfect for fall.

Is there any way you can show pictures/swatches of Juicy Mango? I just ordered several eyeshadows from GDE and this was one I thought about but didn't get because I wasn't sure how bright orange it would be (some of the online swatches are hard to tell). Also, I'm glad to hear that the September GWP is pretty! I can't wait to get my shadows! 

By the way, I am very new to Indie cosmetics and am so grateful for this thread on giving me ideas of what to try!

I am also curious to this. Same thing. I am a first time shopper with I+TA and only got confirmation from PayPal. Not too worried or anything, just curious.

@@meaganola did you get a shipping notice then? How has this worked for you in the past? <3 All guru info appreciated as always. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Lots of info posted on the GDE group page about the Halloween collection. Some public and some not (go to the group if you want to see the rest out of respect for her wishes to keep things secret) :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

"HALLOWEEN 2014 RELEASE INFO

Since I know a lot of you frequent indie companies and like to plan your purchases, I wanted to make a document with all of OUR Halloween information so you can plan your GDE Halloween purchase accordingly.

Please feel free to share this on blogs or boards if you want (unless otherwise stated since there is a surprise for GDE group members only).

PLEASE NOTE: The October GWP will NOT come with any Halloween purchase.

HALLOWEEN SET 1: - $16 for 4 full size eye shadows

  • Rigor Mortis is a light silver with a strong blue shift and red sparkles.
  • You Poisoned Jack is a pumpkin semi matte orange base with a purple sheen and BAM green sparkle!
  • 'Til Death is a semi matte dark purple base with a gold sheen and pinky/green shimmers throughout.
  • Elm Street Nightmare is a dark forest green base with a strong copper shift.
HALLOWEEN SET 2: - $16 for 4 full size eye shadows

  • Funeral Selfie is a medium pink with a green duochrome and golden shimmer.
  • Buried Alive is a medium shimmery brown with an orange overlay and red & holographic sparkle.
  • Shots of Cyanide is a midnight blue with a blue and reddish sheen, copper sparkle and a greenish/golden shimmer.
  • Murder Street is a matte black base with a copper and pink sheen.
Each shadow will come packaged in a 5gram jar with a black lid. Each lid will have a special edition Halloween 2014 Label with the shadow name on the bottom. Each set of 4 shadows will come packaged in an adorable black and orange star organza bag. Each set is VERY LIMITED, I think I have 82 of each set and already 169 people on the notification list.

I will have a few loose shadows (sometimes I make too much) but they will be very small quantities. These will sell for our normal $6.

There will also be 8 towers of each collection for $16 each.

There will be a sticker available (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=940235316002084&set=o.239401679589550&type=3&theater) to purchase for $1.25. Sticker measures in at w2.5" x h3 and is made of a glossy, white vinyl with permanent adhesive."

She is also toying with the idea of moving the release day to Oct 15th rather than the 22nd.
I will need to be saving because I really want both sets....haha

I just went pack and looked and I had two emails. Both were from Paypal. One was "You sent an automatic payment" and one that was "You set up an automatic payment profile". 

I also got an email from Paypal that's "Linda Wan has sent you a package" when my sub was shipped for August.

I really want both of those sets too.  The colors she's shown so far are beautiful.

Juicy Mango is my favorite GDE color.  I don't think it is a real bright orange, but if you foil it, you get a great pink shift.  It is a truly lovely duo chrome.  I will try to see if I can get some decent pictures if bellatrix can't, but I think this will be hard to photograph.

 
So weird.  My i+ta package showed as out for delivery, then it showed as delivered, then IT WASN'T IN MY MAILBOX when I got home, and now IT'S COMPLETELY GONE FROM THE USPS SYSTEM!  No clue what's going on.  Time to dig up Linda's email address and see if she can shed some light on the matter.  If it's still on the way, that's fantastic.  I'm just really worried about it because it *was* showing up, and now *poof*!  Keyzer Soze.

ETA:  On the subject of Juicy Mango, *every single person* I've convinced to order it was initially scared off by the BRIGHT ORANGE of the photos and IN LOVE with it once they got it in their hands and saw that glorious pink shift.  It's impossible to capture its beauty in photos.  I can't recommend it highly enough, but you really have to see it live and in person.

I will do my best to take good pictures tomorrow morning. It should be nice and sunny so hopefully they will come out okay.

 
Victorian Disco updated that they're working on orders from July 21-24. Soooo close to mine! (July 27th)

Also, my missing Twice is Nice perfume oil from HOG arrived today along with a sample perfume oil of Vice!  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I wonder if this means that the August Victorian Disco subs are anywhere close to happening.  I paid on July 23rd, just a couple of weeks before she pulled the plug.
