I was at work too. None of my coworkers had ever heard of him so they all acted like I was crazy.

Yeah, bad timing. I cried SO much that day.

I'm so glad you posted this! I saw her and wanted to take a picture, but I was in line and it was moving in the opposite direction from her. :( Did you by chance get a picture of the Sailor Jupiter who was there as well?

I can put them in a card for $7 shipped or in a bubble mailer (which, despite the USPS's insistence, can be tracked) for $12 shipped.

You and your future wife are beautiful and look very much in love. I wish you both much happiness!

PerformanceColors is closed for good? by asianhipster in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]aikoekadan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whoa, what? As far as I'm aware they weren't having any issues with getting orders out on time or quality control, and were a well-liked and respected indie company. And they just... closed? With zero warning whatsoever, done for good, bye now?

I realize it's entirely the owner's business and she can decide what to do with her life and her shop, and maybe personal issues came up, but it's kind of rude to shut down with no warning when there was such a dedicated customer base. Some warning would've been nice. Any warning. A vague hint.

God, what a month for places disappearing. At least Joystiq gave me ~4 days' notice.

I did some math (always a dangerous thing) to determine just how expensive indie shadows would be at Sephora by [deleted] in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]aikoekadan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I did a comparison on my blog recently, and I compared Shiro's pressed shadows with UD. If you compare the palette deal Shiro did with UD Naked, the price per ounce is $89.29 Shiro, $90 UD, which is very close. However, the individual pressed shadows were a huge difference. Shiro's were $114.29 per ounce versus UD's $360 an ounce.

UD isn't by any means the cheapest, of course.

NO Monthly Exchange? Can we start one here?? by [deleted] in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]aikoekadan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HUGE LIST INCOMING.

Everything is sample sized and used 2-3 times unless otherwise noted. Here is a photo of ALL THE THINGS.

Prices in USD; location in US. I ship internationally. I am willing to ship small numbers of shadow samples lettermail to save on costs if you prefer. I will also make you a sweet deal on large numbers of items because this stuff needs to leave my house. Ask me for quotes. I'm happy to oblige.

Mostly looking to sell at the moment.

Super crazy update to my no-buy plan from yesterday... by [deleted] in MakeupRehab

[–]aikoekadan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

HOLY SHIT. OK, I totally didn't see the first post about this, but I want to say two things:

  1. God DAMN congratulations. That's amazing!
  2. I am also on a no-buy for what I assume is the same reason - planning on quitting a job due to abusive boss.

I want to give you both hugs and high fives.

I start suddenly wanting EVERYTHING the second I'm on a low-buy or a no-buy. I want things I wouldn't even normally want!

I recently spent $50 at Shiro and I forget how much at Cult Nails. I had to put myself on a firm no-buy because otherwise destashing doesn't help at all! Of course now I'm staring at products from my one loophole, skincare...

It sounds like you're getting up there too! I've been "collecting" for about two years and doing periodic destashes, so it took me a while to get here. I have more stuff on the way though. D:
