Could it be...? Prelude to a swatchfest

I couldn't believe what showed up in yesterday's mail. Can you guess? Yep, that's right, my Archetype Cosmetics order from aeons ago. All 44 samples.
Now what really kills me about this is that I know I'm not going to be able to make the samples last forever. And there are some incredibly unique and beautiful colors! But I can't really say I'm up for placing an order for any full sizes because I may be in my mid fifties before they actually arrive. More on that later though, because I may cave still in hopes that this order from them was just particularly bad. Yes, I'm aware that's called denial!
Now, some of you may ask how I actually managed to recieve my order. My answer? Since I began to worry about the questionable existence of my order, I called her at work (Star Center Antique Mall in Snohomish, for those of you who want to Google the number). Every. Week. And harangued her (politely) at every opportunity. I don't plan to make a habit out of that. But that's what I did.
Anyway though, I'll have the swatches up soon, which was supposed to be my main point in this post... So keep a lookout! Have a relaxing weekend!

More to Come!

I'm sleepy but excited, so I'm just gonna write a tiny post now and elaborate on it tomorrow:
I recieved my orders from Fyrinnae and Detrivore, and the colors are all super beautiful! I bought a sample of a new one of Fyrinnae's called Dinosaur Plushie... I'll be swatching that soon. It's soooo sparkly and mesmerizing, all beautiful silver shimmer with multicolored sparks of glitter. I'm determined to wear it tomorrow. And if I have fallout, then I will dazzle like a discoball, which would be a much needed bit of excitement now that all the gross raining-all-the-time weather has descended. Plus, I just couldn't resist something named Dinosaur Plushie. I'll go into detail about all the colors tomorrow, but I had to say something about them now! The shades are beautiful and vibrant, and I will definitely be returning for more at both Detrivore and Fyrinnae in the future. Yay!
