Ugh Redbubble
So I made some photo sales off my Redbubble.com gallery in December 2018. A bit more than I usually make. The person who bought the stuff asked me if I’d been paid yet. I realized I’d received no follow up email from RB, and no deposits in my account. When I checked my Sales page, all the sales from December were marked Cancelled. This hasn’t happened before or since.
These items were actually received by the customer, who had no wish to return them and says the money they paid was deducted from their Paypal account. In other words, no way the sales were cancelled. The items were manufactured and shipped out. I know the customer personally, that’s why the topic came up in the first place and why they were concerned I never got paid.
So, American Girl was threatening to close the Boston and Mall of America stores. There was a petition, but it didn’t get anywhere.
I had been planning to go one last time, but I didn’t have the money yet. And I just learned that the Boston store isn’t closing some time in the near future, it’s closing NOW. As in, it’s all pretty much picked over already.
I’m too old for the store to have been a part of my childhood, but it’s been around long enough that it was a part of a lot of other people’s childhoods. And it certainly has played a large role in my collecting experience. So please don’t laugh, this is quite upsetting.
But what upsets me the most is that whenever we shopped there, it was never ever not busy. It was often so crowded it was hard to move in certain areas. Like, I love AG and I love shopping but sometimes I’d breathe a sigh of relief when I left because of how crowded and noisy it could get. Reports are saying that even after the merchandise was picked over, customers were still flooding in for cafe reservations and salon appointments.
Generally, the Natick Mall is never NOT absurdly crowded. It’s a “light” day when you’re lucky to find a space without having to make more than one pass around the parking lot. I do think that turning the lot in front of AG into the valet parking area was a mistake, a store which targets families with small children, which can only be accessed from the outside (you can’t get into AG from inside the mall itself) and is in a pretty cold climate, needs, like, free parking spaces as close as possible. But that’s the mall’s fault, so why are the customers paying for it
HOW I FEEL ABOUT KL POLISH....
(by alliegabb)
The Cozy Teacart in Brookline, NH. We went here for my sister’s birthday (and I keep forgetting what a long drive it actually is, I need to find a short cut). Always a good experience although the cookies I got for dessert needed to be warmed up, since they were caramel filled and I nearly chipped a tooth.
People have been getting friend requests from makeup gurus like Tati Westbrook and Jeffree Star which turn out to be scams.
Listen, if you’re a total unpopular nobody and a big Beauty community celebrity friends you and you didn’t friend them first, it probably is a scam.
Sorry.
So...Redbubble won’t give me my proceeds from December. Dec was an expensive month and if they’d paid me when they were supposed to, I might not be in the hole I’m in now. I can pay my rent and internet but I won’t be able to do anything else so I’ve been listing everything I can. Giving this a shot even though Tumbler doesn’t show posts with links anymore.
my Poshmark URL is weatherwax2 (mostly OPI polishes but I’ll be listing some BPAl too)

From Femme Fatale’s Never Ending Story collection. Top right, Luckdragon, middle The Nothing, bottom The Southern Oracle. I also bought Childlike Empress (a shimmer gray, not pictured). There are three more shades in the collection, I believe, but I just don’t have the room or the budget at this time.
I’ve only worn Southern Oracle so far.
Two pretty eyeshadow samples.
Every single swatch photo I saw of The Nothing online was purple. The color I actually held in my hands is a deep berry...red. It’s gorgeous but not what I thought I was ordering. Which would be easier if Luckdragon wasn’t also so red. Luckdragon should be pink, because the dragon was pink! Not reddish pink, pink pink! Like I would have done a sparkly peach thermal or something. Don’t @ me, I used to watch this movie literally backwards, my next door neighbor was obsessed with it.
Wouldn’t dark purple and a lighter pink just...make so much more sense?
It didn’t work. Hot water didn’t work either.
The color on my nails is a smidge darker than the bottle indicated it would be, but that was the only change. It’s a really pretty turquoise blue, that’s just not what I bought it for. I painted some KL Polish Das Esspensive 26 over two nails as an accent nail thing and planned to do the rest later.
In the Youtube videos I watched, not only did everyone’s nails change instantly, one person’s nails started changing color as she was painting them.
But then the next evening, I was sitting in a restaurant. On a whim, I took an ice cube from my drink and pressed it against one of my nails. The nail immediately started developing streaks of purple. It didn’t last more than a moment, but the color did change. Merely pressing my nail against my drink glass created a faint color change as well.
So what was the difference between when I tried at home and my restaurant experiment? I soaked my fingertips for much longer at home than I did at the restaurant. We’re talking like four minutes vs four seconds.
Body temperature? Drinking a cold iced tea on a chilly night while trying this vs not drinking anything during a warm day? Are my at home ice cubes not as cold as ones I get in restaurants? I have slight evidence this might be true.
I don’t know.
The next morning I went out and t was quite cold. I looked down while getting out of the car at McDonald’s and saw that my nails were turning purple. It only lasts as long as the temperature does. So your nails are always changing color.
The purple and green ombre effect created by the temperature changes is especially pretty under the KL Polish glitter.
Things to keep in mind
to cut down on makeup spending
1) You don’t have to finish a collection. It’s okay to only buy the parts you love and will enjoy using. It’s makeup, even if it doesn’t have a short expiration date, once you crack the seal on the packaging, the value starts plummeting. Nail polish and perfume are really the only cosmetics you can truly “collect” and have the items retain any value.
2) Not always a great idea to buy products based on really loving the shade name . How many people are actually going to ask AND understand the reference?
3) Drugstore or high end, I always use less product than I initially assumed I would. Skincare and foundation are the only products I regularly run out of that I actually feel the need to repurchase. Sometimes I can save money on the high end stuff by getting the travel size.
4) Don’t buy products just because the packaging will look cool on display.
5) Don’t buy it just because everyone else uses it, if it doesn’t work for you.
Elizabeth I from Fancy Gloss via November’s Polish Pickup. This is a thermal. Top right pic is the warm mode, a burnt orange with brown flakies (indoors at the local Feztival of Trees) , on the right you can see “cold mode”, dark brown with auburn flakies (out on the street doing Christmas errands). Bottom pic is the polish moving between shades (in my bathroom). You’ve seen the warm mode in photos on my previous post about the Cargo palette.
So, I enjoyed this polish. I like Elizabeth I and it’s a great seasonal color.
But I just learned thermal polishes have about a 12 month shelf life before they get stuck in one mode or the other. So I need to make sure my thermals are stored correctly.
KL Polish Marshmallow Sunset, with KB Shimmer Take it or Leaf It over the top. This was a look I had pictured clearly in my mind, which I rarely do. An early winter look, inspired by the fall leaves still on the ground after the snow starts. It sort of worked out. Marshmallow Sunset took about three or four coats, because every time I thought it was dry, it smudged and I ended up with bald patches and finger prints in the polish. I’ve had this problem with other similar polishes, so either it’s an across the board problem with this type of formula or I’m just not great at working with that formula.
You can see it happened yet again on my index finger after added Take it or Leaf It
I also thought Leaf It would have more greens, oranges and browns according to the bottle but all that seems to come out are the red flakies. I mean, I like the look I came up with but it was a frustrating time trying to make it work.
I got an A England Tudoresque Anne Boleyn! (!!!)
(on my actual nails I’m wearing Elizabeth the 1st, from Flossy Gloss, my Polish Pickup choice from November’s Badass Women theme. This is getting its own post)
Cargo’s Chill in the Six palette. I discovered that Cargo has a whole series of eyeshadow palettes on various geographic themes. Venice, Havana, India, Hawaii, Seattle ( the Emerald City palette, which I’ve already posted about) and this one, which is inspired by Toronto.
Chill in the Six are at TJ Maxx for $8. There’s another one you can find right now, the All That Glitters palette, but I could only get one so I picked this one. These aren’t actually a new release, which explains why they’re at TJ’s but hard to find anywhere else.
Cargo...is kind of a weird thing. I used to think of it as a higher end brand, but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen any of the beauty gurus talking about it. If they do, it’s mostly to praise their Swimmables waterproof line.
But I kind of see why? These shadows are beautiful, especially The North, and Blizzard (which go especially prettily together). I wore them yesterday and I was like “Wow, this hits all the Understated Snow Queen Holiday Glam notes I’d want”. But even with shadow primer (Too Faced Shadow Insurance) the color was gone by the time I got home. That means about three hours of wear time. That’s a little disappointing. A company famous for their waterproof makeup should be able to produce regular eyeshadow which also lasts.
So maybe Cargo eyeshadows aren’t worth full price. Maybe under $15 is all they deserve to be valued at.
And yet I kind of want to get more from this series. Just because I adore the themes and packaging. Ughgh. Only if they show up somewhere for $8, otherwise I have no room for more eyeshadow.
