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'd love to know what you think of "Swimming Elephant". Looking on the website, the color sounds gorgeous! I took a chance and purchased 10 sample eyeshadows (Future Is A Choice, Biological Manipulation, False Astronomy, Faint Young Sun, Red Bandit, Bubble Tea, Killer Within, Governor, Walkers, and Dragon Claw), and two sample primers (fling and lust).

 
Well House of Gloi appears to be open (or at least it let me place an order) and my credit card works! Picked up:

- Troika sugar scrub

- Hazlenut Latte lip balm

- Horseman bubbling scrub (I want to smell rich! This is nothing I would EVER go for based on the scent description but after all the love here....had to pick up a mini jar!)

- Olde Cider Haus sugar scrub

- Litchi Milk perfume oil mini

-Twice is Nice pumpkin butter

So exciiiiiiiiiiiiited!

 
I'm starting to lose my patience. I ordered over a month ago from StarCrushed with the understanding that there was a turn-around time of around 10 busness days. Last week Tuesday I get a shipping email, and it's just hanging on "Shipping info received." Feh! I've had quicker international mailings.

Wow, that's ridiculous! SC I hope will compensate you somehow, especially if the TAT should be 10 business days.

Star Crushed Minerals is a store with a bit of drama - a lot of other people have had shipping and CS issues with them before (namely on IMAM). Some people have mentioned fingerprints in jars (although I don't know if this is one person and the story got spread around to make it sound like more than one person). And I feel like the owner can be kind of snarky: http://toxid-lotus.net/2013/10/26/swatches-star-crushed-minerals-delphinium-pink-grape-shimmer-violet-pearl-blue-violet-sparkle/

But I think the quality of the shadows are supposed to be okay.

I was wrong...it's reading "Pre-shipment info sent to USPS"! This is absurd. I understand that TAT happens, and I'm fine with it, but it's been over a month for a 10-day wait. I did get a nice message with the tracking email saying thank you for your patience, etc. However, I'm not pleased; I'm starting to think it hasn't been shipped as of yet--I know that updates sometimes lag a bit, but it's been a week. It should at least have crossed one state border by now.

If it reads "Pre-shipment info sent to USPS" it hasn't been sent. Updates can be slow sometimes, but it's pretty quick to update when the package is actually first received in the USPS system. All you've got is a printed shipping label. If it was me, I would send an email.

I love the theme for the Mad Lab Cosmetics shadows (precious stones) - it would be super exciting if she did a birthstone collection! (which via the IMAM thread, seems very possible)

Do we need an Indie SWAPS thread?  I don't really have anything Indie I want to trade away yet, but I am in major acquire mode and it is hard to figure out who has Indies to trade.  Do you all think there is enough interest to start a thread?  Or are most of us hoarding everything we get still?

I would be interested in it, especially for Indie polish! 

On another note, I just made an Eccentric Cosmetics order for a full size translucent primer and 10 samples in : 

1. Swimming Elephant
2. Trolled
3. Bunny
4. Michonne
5. Divine Innocence
6. Autumnal Crush
7. Sea Spirit
8. False Astronomy
9. Wicked Mischief
10. Peachy
I'm going to try to press them myself.  I've pressed Shiro samples to varying degrees of success before, so hopefully these will turn out nicely for me.
 
Yay! I got 2 months of OTM! I decided to skip 3 months and go straight for 2 since the longer subs sell out faster. It looks like there are still 3 month subs left. Oh well. I'm so happy to have actually gotten one this time!
