Thanks guys!! I love the little community we have here and especially in this thread. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I know for my Hello Waffle order, it was 847, but I also ordered a palette for the new Fringe collection and those weren't going to be ready until 9/5 so mine will probably take a bit longer. I'm so excited though!

GCC and Victorian Disco, I'll just be prepared to keep waiting as well. 

 
I'm excited to see all your pretties.  I'm on a no-buy for a bit (busy trying to buy pieces/make Halloween costumes for my family of 8 & then Christmas. . . yikes Christmas presents!!!)  I'll definitely need some of the Christmas sets I know everyone will be coming out with (& I am going to try to snag at least one of the Halloween sets from one of our companies depending on which one I like best).  But for now I'm living through all of you.  So post lots of pictures of your pretties.  :)

You should do what I have seen some other people do and start keeping your SecretSanta wish list early.  Just in case someone might want to...I mean just so you don't forget the things you saw and liked.  Then maybe they will still be around when you are shopping, or someone who bought one might not like it and they will know you might want to trade for it.  Yeah, that's what I mean.   :ph34r: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Ugh, you guys.  I just got my Blood Countess order from NM, and there were *two* samples from the Winchester Gospels (Walking on Sunshine and Visions), and, ugh.  WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY TO ORDER THEM?  You might look at the swatch photos and think, "Huh, they're pretty, but they're not *that* exciting."  Ignore that thought.  DUOCHROME FANTASIA, Y'ALL.  Of the unphotographable-by-me variety.  They're just *guh*.  I was bummed that the third wave of the Slay Me collection was going to be the only new thing next week, and I believe that whole collection is matte, and I'm not a matte fan, so I thought I wouldn't have anything to order.  I was oh so very wrong.  I'm very, very happy at this turn of events!

(And I ordered on a freebie Friday, and that particular week's freebie was your choice of Coffin Kisser, but I asked for a random one because I couldn't decide beyond knowing I *had* to have Cara & Mel's Rampage, which I had already ordered, so I ended up with Booberry's Cookies as my freebie.  Now the big dilemma:  Give it to someone as part of a Halloween present or keep it for myself!  But not to the person I'm sending stuff for in a secret swap book exchange.  She still hasn't given me any wishlists!  How can you do a book gift exchange and not have an wishlist with Powell's or amazon?  I'm very close to just sending her three used books from my own collection and calling it good.  I'm not willing to spend money on one of these things if I don't have a list to work from since used books are a-okay.)

@ @@Lolo22  Thanks for the Etsy/paypal advice!  I messaged her so hopefully I hear soon (I am afraid the package is stolen :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I read up thread someone had a grumpy cat eyeshadow?  I want to see!  (off to google) I still want to get doge from Shiro after hearing about all it's champagne-y gloriousness!

@@marigoldsue good idea about updating SS list!

 
I'm watching the boy play Destiny and I'm curled up in a ball on his bed (I find this to be comfortable) and he looked at me, poked me, and said "What's wrong? No makeup to buy?"

Haha I think that's the universe's way of telling me to buy more pretties! I think I need Haus Of Gloi though. I hope VCs start going out soon too!

This is EXACTLY, down to the game, what is going on in our household tonight too lol. I think I may need a NM order. I just wish they had a mobile site because I am far too lazy (and cold, it's freezing here) to go get the laptop. No buy is blown OH WELL.

 
You should make one and post the link here.  Maybe more people are interested but missed it in the thread as it moves fast.  I know I have a baggie of Shiro Girl on Fire I would love to have find a new home!

If I was more savvy on how to create threads I could make it (I know how) but the putting them under what category etc throws me off.

I do think its easy for stuff to get lost on this thread! That's probably what happened.

*cry* My HoG order won't be here until Friday. I want to smell good NOW!! I got my Sugar and Sprite order in tho, shall give a mini review when I get back from dinner. Some winners and one not so much.

I am also dyinnnngggg to get my HoG order. I mean I just ordered like 2 days ago so I have awhile but I want to smell like fall!

 
I am SO so irritated today. Since moving to this new apartment I have been trying to figure out my mail carriers delivery cycle and today I was suppose to have about 3 orders that show up as "estimated delivery date Wed sept 10th" and low and behold....
my mail carrier never even showed up today.
outgoing mail is still visible in the slot and not touched since early this am.

My USPS info hasn't updated to delivered on anything so I know I didn't miss anything,
Everything still says it should have been delivered today but it hasn't reached its end point yet.
I wouldn't be so upset if I wern't waiting on my Haus of Gloi pretties! I'm overreacting, but I sure hope this isn't a trend I should expect at this new address or I will be filling some serious postal service complaints!

In other news, Is anyone familiar with Aromaleigh's Limited Edition sets and their sell-out/end cycle times? I noticed she bumped her Diavoli set active 5 days early (and before my payday) and I am kinda worried there is risk of waiting to order till then vs right now. I noticed her Ancient Magicks set is LE but its been around for months so I would like to assume her limited sets are longer ran than the flash frenzy releases of others....Anyone have any perspective?

I'd be interested in an indie trade thread! I have a bunch of samples and eyeshadows from subs that didn't work out for me, and I'd love to trade them for other indies.

I love this idea! I'm just so new to the whole "indie" thing, that I currently keep all of my pretties to myself... :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Okay, so I know I complained that Impulse's new lipstick were just Metaluxe versions of some of the more popular matte pastels (which they are - I bought Chatterbox and it's just a Metaluxe of Space Cadet. However, I know a lot of you found the Opaque Matte formula too dry, so if you wanted to try a purple or pastel pink, the Metaluxe formula is much creamier) but I also purchased a sample of  one of her new Transforma-Chrome glosses.

Holy wow! I got Spector and it is seriously intense green shift on the lips. I want to buy full sizes of Spector and Gilded, but I am holding off during my no-buy. But if anyone likes glosses, these are super creamy, but not sticky at all - very smooth! I'd compare it to the UD Naked glosses or Chanel Glossimer formula. It doesn't have major lasting power - I wore mine over a nude gloss and it looked amazing, but disappeared after about two hours when I ate.

Anyway. She restocked the glosses recently, so I highly recommend trying a sample! It's in a clamshell, but the formula is thick enough that I had no problem and no mess applying a bit with my finger. Like I said, I know a lot of the ladies here were put off by the lipstick formula, but I really love these glosses! :smilehappyyes:

 
I'm so happy that my GDE's Circus Collection came in today (with a very nice hand written note and great freebies!) The packaging alone is so great, and the colors are amazing! I hate that I don't have time to play with it tonight...I'm packing the family up for a mini vacation. It'll fit nicely in my luggage though, vacationing is a good time to play with new makeup right? :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
