If I was rich @@meaganola I'd just hire you as my Indie personal shopper! I really need to get on that rich thing...Okay, one-stop shopping for indie potions, lotions, polishes, and more:

Arcana, Villainess, Glisten & Glow, and much more. If you're a foodie fragrance lover, Arcana's Ganesh smells like honey-drenched coconut cake.
Villainess is a great company (soap, scrubs, body butters, perfume oil), but DO NOT GO TO the .com version of the url. I believe that is a porn site. The correct url for the soap company is http://villainess.net/
No, I haven't! TBH I don't really go out looking for indie brands, I just happened to stumble across a few and found some I really like! I will definitely check out those brands though - would love to find some other indies to support!@@Shalott Since it seems like you're open to indie foundations... have you tried Meow Cosmetics, Dreamworld Hermetica, or Lucy Minerals? Meow Cosmetics and Dreamworld Hermetica have very large shade ranges and have been pretty well-reviewed; Lucy minerals has a smaller shade range but is also very well-reviewed - so I've been meaning to try them (all three brands also sell samples) (and I think Meow and Dreamworld currently have sales right now - Meow for 4th of July, Dreamworld because they're about to revamp their site and introduce liquid foundations).
Man, I tell ya, I think indie personal shopper would pretty much be my dream job right about now.If I was rich @@meaganola I'd just hire you as my Indie personal shopper! I really need to get on that rich thing...
I just added 8 of them to my cart, plus the Paper Runway Collection, + a gift for someone on here. Not a SUPER expensive purchase, but I'm going to hold off in the hopes that Vee does a 4th of July sale. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Oh! GDE now does blush samples!

I am REALLY liking some of these Impulse lip colors. Any suggestions on which ones are particular favorites? I prefer the creamy textures.My two current favorites:
Impulse Cosmetics
-Has THE most amazing lipsticks in the world. They come in two types, the popular Opaque Matte and the Metaluxe. I have many from both lines, and they are to die for. The Opaque Matte lipsticks are very heavy on the lips, and the textures run from creamy to quite dry but the color payoff is unparalleled and there are more than 40 colors in the line. They range from neutrals to wilds and there is a dupe for every single one of Lime Crime's colors. The Metalux lipsticks are more sheer, but like their name they are extremely metallic looking on the lips. I find this formula to be much more creamy and easier to blend - I actually prefer it, but the color selection is much smaller, only eight colors. They also sell lose shadows and glitters, which I have a few and like, but I don't know how the compare to other brands. You can buy samples of all the items on the shop, but the lipsticks are only $6.99 so I have yet to bother. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Arbor Rouge Cosmetics
-This is an ETSY site, and the shop owner, Miranda is about the sweetest person you'll ever meet. Everything is made at home and is all natural, organic and vegan. I absolutely LOVE her mineral powder foundations (they make my skin look like it glowing from within) and the mineral powder concealers. One of her best sellers are the lip stains and let me tell you, these suckers work! Over eight hours wear with no fading and touch-ups, plus they don't dry out the lips at all. I am also excited to try her solid perfumes, which are one of the newest items added to her shop. You can also order sample packets of items you want to try, and if you find that, say, your perfect foundation color is right in between two, Miranda will take a customer order.
