I picked up the "Twi-Shadows" collection, and samples of a bunch, including Apple Martini and Sex Appeal and a couple of other samples. It's very affordable, and the fact that shipping is free over $30 is awesome! I can't wait to try this out.

I am already wishing I would have added a few more to the order... Guess I might have to place another one.

| Normal processing time is 3-5 days after payment has cleared. If you have a larger order, please expect a few more days delay! Processing time does not include shipping time! PLEASE NOTE: I have received an increase in order's as of April 1st, so I am working my way getting through them. Because of the increased amount of orders, your processing time might be a little bit longer then normal. Please be patient and if you need your items by a certain day, please email me and I will do my best to get it out in time for you! Thank you for understanding. |

They really shouldn't be measuring these by weight, anyhow - different ingredients have different weights, and so you're not getting the same volume (amount) across the board. You'd be paying the same amount for the "smaller" samples as you would be for the "bigger" ones! Now, consider this: for 10 sample baggies of 1/4 tsp or less, that would be $15. Hi-Fi Cosmetics sells a set of 20 1/4 tsp samples for $14.99 plus $1.50 shipping within the US, and doesn't repack. When you think about it, GDE's really not offering that good of a deal, especially not for repackaged micas. By the way, if you do change your mind and want to try blending your own, TKB's sample baggies are $1.50 for most shades but are big bags, a full teaspoon. You can get a sample bag of an eyeshadow base for $1.50 as well, and do OK for personal use by adding a little bit to each mica sample baggie and shaking it up. |
