I totally wanna try Shiro! I love the geeky part of it! But I already have SO many eyeshadows! =( I'll never use them all up in my lifetime!

I don't know if they're still around, but Miss X cosmetics I hear is good!

Well, there's no shortage of recommendations.. thank you everyone! :D

No problem she is coming out with lip and cheek products this month. I cant verify how those are but her e/s is amazing :) 

Pretty Addictions is one of my absolute Fav Indie brands. I met her through blogging, she is a sweet girl and her products are very good! Her website is www.prettyaddictions.com I am also a fan of Concrete Minerals!

I highly recommend High Voltage. The owner, Jasmine, is an absolute sweetheart and so, so helpful! So far, I've only tried the eyeshadows but I'm really impressed. She also makes amazing looking lip products that I've heard great things about.

Happy shopping :)

I agree with Hazel about Shiro Cosmetics! They now have their own website!

I haven't tried them either, but I think I'm gonna order some samples really soon! I totally love the geeky side of this cosmetics company, seeing that a lot of the eyeshadows are related to Zelda and Pokemon. Plus, I see some sparkle in them, and I LOVE sparkle!

I've been really wanting to try OCC, I've heard nothing but good things about that brand.

Oh & also, definitely check out Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. Again, I'm not sure if they're considered "indie" but their products are fantastic! I'm kiiinda obsessed with their new OCC Tint, and I love their loose colours and lip tars and nail polishes.

That's part of my concern, I'd rather support businesses that are doing more than repackaging.. hoping to weed them out. If you know of any, but you don't want to call them out publicly, send me an e-mail?

Just be careful with *some* indie cosmetic companies, a few have repackaged TKB trading. (tkbtrading.com) << they ahve some fantastic colors and generous sample sizes. 

I've never heard of Meow, but I'm going to give them a try. I've heard good things about Everyday Minerals, but I've never ordered from there.

@Brianna G., I really want to get my hands on some Sugarpill Cosmetics.

Uh yeah... just an update. I am super impressed with Shiro Cosmetics. SUPER. And its nerdy names... so I love it.

I'm not quite sure if this brand is still considered "indie" (I think it is though)- but Sugarpill Cosmetics has the best eyeshadows I have ever come across. Their loose shadows are equally as amazing. The only thing is that they don't have neutral colors, but if you love bright colors, Sugarpill's line is absolutely fantastic and is relatively affordable.

Glamour Doll Eyes. I ordered some samples and they are worth a try to see if you like them.

Woo.. glad to add more brands to the list.

Jane- You should recommend the brand! :D

Hazel- I am now counting down the days 'til i get paid so I can try some of this stuff! IT IS SO NERDTASTIC I LOVE IT!

Considering it's not yet listed on Beautylish (I tried doing a search), I'd like to throw out Vapour Oraganic Cosmetics.

By luck I won a 'prize' for liking one of their statuses. I thought I would get a bunch of sample lipglosses, and whatever else. But the 'prize' I got was pretty good actually. Anyway... to the point >>> I really like their Stratus stick!
