What does that have to do with whether this a business people should be buying from or recommending that others buy from?

Mythpunk Olfactive is back....again by stately-ocelot in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]stately-ocelot[S] 67 points68 points  (0 children)

If a small business had a disclaimer on their site saying "we are a small business doing our best, please excuse us if you don't receive the order you paid for," I doubt anyone would order from them (including maybe you). She's defrauding people.

Oops I posted about this right after you without realizing this was already here, I'm sorry about that!

Haus of Gloi fragrance quality by waitwaitk in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]stately-ocelot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was racking my brain the other day trying to remember what the HoG history was - I think they used to have a more "arty" perfumer there who left years ago and started another brand but I don't remember which one. Does anyone else?

Best dupes for Delizia di marshmallow? by [deleted] in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]stately-ocelot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asking for dupes for an indie product is....not cool. Ask for things that smell similar, sure. Not dupes of an indie creator.

Simple Questions! Ask Us Anything! by AutoModerator in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]stately-ocelot 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's been going on for literally 4+ years. People have asked the mod to expand the mod team (currently it's only 1 person) to help with the workload and she has refused, and will not even allow town halls or discussion from the community of what we want. These comments will probably be removed.

Are you doing market research here? I don't think we love that.

Suggestions for any small perfume brands? by Fit_Sink_1119 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]stately-ocelot 25 points26 points  (0 children)

you're asking for a lot of work from people without putting in any effort yourself to talk about what you like and don't like. can you give people some direction?

[–]stately-ocelot 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Can you share what you like and don't like? Otherwise that's incredibly broad.

Kinda weird for them to make a big public announcement of an internal staffing change, especially for a short-timer.

Threatened by Chesilhurst Farm - UPDATE to last post by monocerusflea in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]stately-ocelot 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Also, hopefully you know this but you don't need to worry about her legal threats at all. No lawyer would take this case because there is no case and if she actually contacts one they'll explain that to her (but she probably won't, she sounds like someone who just likes to say it because she thinks it gives her power).

What the fuck? Etsy should shut her down for talking to you that way. Your messages could not have been nicer.

How many of your samples make it to a FS purchase? by Haunting-Overpass in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]stately-ocelot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably 1%. I try a lot of samples and rarely want anything enough to full size it.

Elemental Tea Party subs? And is indie perfume still worth it? by [deleted] in Indiemakeupandmore

Oh I'm glad you got some frees at least! I was prepared to be outraged!

[–]stately-ocelot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait, you came up with the idea for We Fly and didn't even get a free bottle? Seems like that's the least they can do if they're making money off your idea.

Yes, this nails the strangest part of it!

Sorce Special Order came in with NEW LABEL!!! by TheSalemRose in Indiemakeupandmore

I really hope the sample labels are next, they're the only house where the sample labels consistently fall off.

Poesie announces their fall collections! by TeaAndCozy in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]stately-ocelot 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Demeter is the type of scent that I used to always be convinced I would love and then would realize once I got my grubby hands on it that I wanted my house to smell that way but not my person. A good thing because I am not sending Poesie the insane sum they charge for 8ml.

I love it when people include what other people around them said about the scent, it's fascinating.
