this is awesome, thank you so much! I'd love to have that list of indie brands, after seeing what indie nail polish makers can provide I'd definitely like to see what indie eyeshadows are like. I may go through this palette and see which one causes me more irritation as well, to try to narrow down what's giving me issues.

Gameplay changes sure, the QTE stuff was unnecessary. As far as losing control of your character maybe it's just your experience but yeah they've sorta set Clem up as this badass who don't need no group but you can't really leave without them. You get more control over what you do in the second episode but it's a bit weird when adults start asking a kid to make decisions. You may start to warm up to the characters a bit, the first time you meet them they're all hostile to you and you know nothing about them. Either way Episode 2 really picks back up imo.

blood probably makes it stronger. that or it makes things gently caress up and opens a daemon portal to the warp when he tries to do psychic bullshit. or both. Probably both.

He probably doesn't shower, just has chapter serfs clean the blood and ichor of him after battle. Also, lol, it probably gets a lot more powerful when it gets covered in blood

You're welcome.

Liiiiiiiiiiiist (just putting bare links so you can copy/paste)

Personal faves
http://innocenttwisted.storenvy.com/ - Ignore the anime ladies, the owner just really likes drawing anime ladies. She's Japanese-American so I cut her some slack. Gorgeous, subtle shadows. Has a monthly subscription service.

http://femmefatalecosmetics.com.au/ - Super gorgeous duochromes, nice blushes, they also make gorgeous polishes, but they're in Australia and it's cheaper to get their polishes from Harlow&Co. Shipping is pretty cheap as long as you don't get polishes.

http://www.darlinggirlcosmetics.com/ - Tons of gorgeous eye shadows, blushes, cream shadows, all sorts of good stuff.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/SpectrumCosmetic - TONS of mattes and just as many shimmer shadows, all gorgeous. also carries soap/lotion/perfume/nail polish.

http://shirocosmetics.com/ - More gorgeous eye shadows, as well as the ability to make any lip-safe eyeshadow into a custom gloss, plus pretty non-custom glosses. Has a 'Color of the Month'

https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheChequeredLily - Eye shadows so freakin' pretty it makes me want to scream.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/StarCrushedMinerals - Has a lot of the more basic, less complex colors for pretty dang cheap, but they're still good quality

https://www.etsy.com/shop/ScaredyCatCosmetics - More gorgeous shadows, again, a lot of the basics. Amazing packaging, and they carry Trial Vials for $1 each, which contain about $3 worth of product.

Detrivore - http://shirocosmetics.com/products/detrivore/ - Not the same company as Shiro, but stocked and sold by Shiro since the owner of Detrivore was having depression issues that interfered with her customer service. Freaking amazing lip balms, pretty eye shadows.

http://portlandblacklipstickco.com/products/ - lip colors only, but some very high-quality, nifty ones.

http://www.victoriandisco.com/ - More gorgeous shadows and blushes. Has a 'Color of the Month'

http://meowcosmetics.com/ Like 500 amazing shadows, powder liners, a full foundation line that has three different coverage levels, each in 86 different shades (and samples are $1)

http://brm.storenvy.com/ (Black Rose Minerals) A million amazing eye shadows and few pretty blushes. Sample baggies, mini jars, full sizes.

http://www.maddstylecosmetics.com/ Carries a lot of brights, and the neutrals tend to be super sparkly. Has an amazing matte collection that's (unfortunately) named after Dr. Who. Awesome lip balms. Has a monthly subscription service.

http://www.myprettyzombie.com/ - Really nice mattes, gorgeous blushes.

http://www.dawneyescosmetics.com/ - Has the worst site design I've ever seen, but has a lot of amazing shadows for a really inexpensive price.

http://www.storenvy.com/stores/97664-notoriously-morbid AND https://www.etsy.com/shop/NotoriouslyMorbid - One of the only non-terrible indies to open lately. Super pretty shadows and blushes, nice lip balms.

http://www.fyrinnae.com/ Amazingly gorgeous shadows, awesome liquid lipsticks, a really good eye primer called "Pixie Epoxy" that helps glitter/shimmer stay on your lids instead of falling loving everywhere. Annoyances: They close their cart or the entire site when they get backed up, so you either can put stuff in your cart and don't know it's closed, or you can't browse products unless you find a link to a specific page. One of the few good indies that offer pressed eye shadows.

http://www.sugarpillshop.com/ Pricey, lots of brights, either in matte format or WHOA GLITTER format. Ignore their dumb overpriced brushes.

Companies that are good and have never had issues but just aren't my thing

http://www.glamourdolleyes.com/ - Lots of shadows, including basics, lip glosses, has a monthly subscription service.

http://www.aromaleigh.com/ - Lots of pretties.

http://www.dailylovelies.com/ - Started out making polish, expanded to eye shadows. Gorgeous shadows, but the full-sizes are HUGE.

http://shop.brazencosmetics.com/ - Pretty shadows, good quality, just kinda meh to me.

http://chinovicosmetics.storenvy.com/ - see above

http://dreamworldminerals.net/ - Has a massive range of foundations, lip colors, eye shadows, and a bunch of other crap

http://all-that-sass.com/ - carries polishes, eye shadows, blushes, finishing powders

http://www.lucyminerals.com/shop-by-category/ lipsticks, foundation, eye shadow.

http://prettyzombiecosmetics.bigcartel.com/ Not to be confused with My Pretty Zombie, this is a newer company. Their liquid lipsticks are awesome, and their shadows, while having a pretty basic selection, are good quality.

Companies that have issues / to possibly avoid

http://www.concreteminerals.com/ - Kinda high priced, there are dupes for all of their mattes elsewhere for cheap. While their non-matte shadows are gorgeous, they periodically just don't.. fill orders for like two weeks, and then blame it on the PO. You'll get your order, it just may be weeks after the end of the TAT (I forget what that stands for, but it's the time frame from when you place an order to when they get it mailed).

http://www.limecrime.com/ - Run by an insane lady who started out repackaging (buying big bags of mica, putting it in jars, and selling it as eye shadow). Has continued to be insane and shady, it would take six paragraphs for me to explain all the shadiness. I personally no longer buy from her, but her Velvetine lip thingies are supposed to be good. They're dupable for less, though.

Glittersniffer - currently only selling through her Facebook page (always a bad sign), this lady has caused more eye infections and ripped off more people than all the other bad indies combined.

Smash Cosmetics - Doesn't appear to have a store up, but will again, I'm sure. Unsanitary products as well as repackaging. http://www.undertheinfluenceofbeauty.com/2013/07/avoid-smash-cosmetics-like-plague.html for info on the unsanitary part.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/EightBitCosmetics - Unsanitary repackagers

http://www.geekchiccosmetics.com/ - unsanitary as gently caress. Fingerprints in jars, pet hairs everywhere, everyone in the community who has visited them in person has said their apartment (where they make everything) is gross, and the makers don't keep up basic personal hygiene.

Divine Etiquette - gearing up to open. This is the crazy lady who I've repeatedly caught committing intellectual property theft in the form of her stealing pictures from other indie companies' listings and claiming their her pictures, of her products. She recently came out and apologized, sort of, and admitted she had done everything I'd cataloged on my blog, and that she intends to change. Her shadows still look like absolute poo poo, though. Best to avoid until she gets poo poo figured out.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/HelloWaffleCosmetics - Doesn't list ingredients (a sign of a shady/bad shop), puts her fingers into products all the loving time, responds to honest questions by having all of her fangirls come in and glittermob the person who asked the question.

http://www.virusinsanity.com/ - A bit pricey, but has some pretty colors. Another company that will occasionally just not ship stuff for weeks.

http://oslocosmetics.storenvy.com/ - Photo/IP thief, doesn't test products properly. Opened half a dozen shops with different names, all selling differet things (eye shadow in one, perfume in another, etc) and is generally more interested in a quick buck than making a good product.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/ImpulseCo - Listing photos don't match actual product, does shady poo poo like claim all lip colors are matte, when they're really only matte if you buy her mattifying powder separately.

http://www.monennui.com/ Another crazy lady. Her poo poo is extremely over priced, and she tweaks her product photos way beyond an acceptable amount. Ordering from her is a guaranteed way to be disappointed.

http://www.poproxcosmetix.com/ Doesn't list ingredients, is probably using stuff not considered eye-safe. Is run by the husband of a woman who was basically chased out of the indie community for stealing photos and other IP

Non cosmetic or nail polish indies, just for the hell of it.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/OHWTO - One of my personal faves. Sells perfume oils, solid perfumes, amazing soaps, body oils, body butters, wax tarts, and lip balms, and has a ton of seasonal scents all the time

http://www.blackviolet.net/ - Makes a fantastic conditioner, detangler, and body butter, in your choice of scent. Another fave of mine.

http://www.dreamingtreesoapworks.com/ - Makes awesome scrubs, lip balms, lotions, perfumes.

http://www.hausofgloi.com/ - Another fave, makes soap, perfumes, scrubs.

http://www.fortunecookiesoap.com/ - Yet another fave, makes scrubs, soaps, whipped soaps, perfumes, all sorts of crap.



I know there's more but that's a pretty good list to get you started. I'd advise using the Amazon Wishlist button, the Elfster.com wishlist function & button, Pinterest, SOMETHING to help you keep track of what you want.

I can also PM you with some good forums, FB groups, subreddits, all kinds of places for discussing indie (not exclusively, though), it's always nice to have a group of people you can go to and say "Hey have you heard of X brand polish or Y brand shadows" and immediately get a lot of info.

Oh and the 'mini jar' or 'petit jar' size on most of those is enough eye shadow to last you until forever, unless it's a color you'll use constantly. Which is another reason I love indie, I can spend $25 and get ten new eye shadows.
