you already calculated the total. i bought the babydoll tunic $10, one in S and one in XS. for the velour sets, i ordered all S based on your rec. I'd usually decide between xs and s for a while, so you better be right

they all look short to me...

liggy, was the puff-sleeve long enough? and did you get S? wondering if i should get M... i think i'm slightly bigger than you gals.

Does the ruched hoodie not have pockets?

Oh you can skip to review you didnt order the hoodie i was eyeing

it was easy calculation
S will be right, I am 100% sure. bottom may be bit longer on you but it is banded so it wont come down
and Oh you can skip to review you didnt order the hoodie i was eyeing



Puff sleeve is not long. It is just as shown in picture on me. I got S, it is it fitted on me and i bet you cant be bigger than me on waist if you can rock that white/gold combo dress I don't know what bra size you are but if you like your hoodie to be little loose fitting M will be right.

i ordered only the $15 zippered ones. i prefer zippered over pullover (? not sure that's what nonzippered are called) hoodies.

32c/34b. i tend to be top heavy and hate when things are short. i may have to send them all back... but maybe i will get M.

sad that those leggings you liked are oos in charcoal now.

I like pull over hoodie in home more.


M in hoodie will be good atleast in puf sleeve one
in XS or S ?

Its a bad day 6pm does not price match or compensate for sending me boots in wrong colors, i do not want to ship it back and neither does UD (but i am sending BOS back now on my own cost

what did you get?? i was being good and only picked up a couple of things in asia... i was so proud of myself! they have so much awesome stuff out there, but i didn't want to hoard. all i got were 3 bb creams and some my beauty diary masks. and some japanese skincare... oh and a powder case for my shu uemura powder refill. oh and some fiberwig mascara (i found out after i bought it that they actually sell it on sephora's site - but it costs a lot more).

there's another bloom deal on plum... there's so many of those i'm just going to pass.

I got 4 Sephora OPI polishes, 2 Nars blushes ( Deep Throat!) Smashbox Softbox palette, Tarte True Blood palette, UD Feminine palette, UD 24/7 pencil kit, a bunch of UD 24/7 liquid liners, MUFE #4 liquid liner (omfg it's pretty...), Cargo Metallico eye kit, and the Too Faced Insurance Policy kit...I think that's it! I brought back a bunch of stuff to return and that was put on GC's, so I went crazy. BTW, my sister says they are getting rid of Cargo in the JC Penny Sephora and putting Clinique in instead

What BB creams did you get? Anything you'd recommend? I've been using the Skin79 pink label BB cream daily. My skin loves it and freaks out when I put on foundation. How's that mascara??

Hi Ladies, I don't post here often but would like to know if anyone can give me their FS on 50$ purchase pin. I have one which I left at home and I am traveling right now. Once I am back home I can give that pin back to whoever can give now. TIA

what!! noooooo!!! i must go do my cargo shopping pronto then! any idea when that will be happening?

and that's a lot of stuff you got!! awesome... and even better that it was all on gc!

i prefer the japanese bb creams over the korean ones. but that's partially bc the japanese ones i've tried at least release 2 shades, so i can sorta squeak by with the darker shade. they also tend to be more yellow as opposed to grey. but skin79 is supposed to be really good (oh, if only they'd release a darker one...).

the ones i have now are nanoce bb cream [makeupalley.com], hada labo bb cream [blogspot.com], hada labo bb emulsion [blogspot.com], and bioessence aqua bb cream [xanga.com].

i had the first one already (bought here). it ended up working the best while i was in taiwan, as far as oil control and lasting all day. the 2 hada labo ones i bought at the tokyo airport - out of the 2, i prefer the emulsion, which is lighter but still has good coverage. the last one was absolutely terrible in the humid weather in tw, but worked well back here in LA. (their multi-effect one seems freakin awesome, but it was too light for me, tho may be dark for you - it's prob best for nc20-25ish skin).

the bioessence was kinda a spontaneous buy - i went into the drugstore looking at all the bb creams and trying them on my hand, and then the saleslady took me to the bioessence area and raped my face with their bb cream. i thought it looked ok, so i tried it - and i like it! doesn't irritate my skin (a big plus for me as my skin is so irritable) and it works for dry LA weather! very light and doesn't feel like anything on my skin - just how i like it!

i haven't opened the fiberwig [sephora.com] yet as one of the biggest criticisms is that it dries out in a month. so i'm scared to open it. i want to at least use up my lancome sample that i've been using before i try that one out.

Thanks anni! Did you have to pay something outrageous to get the first one in the US? I can get it for like $35 on Amazon it looks like...not sure if I am willing to spend that right now. Lasting all day is a big deciding factor for me so I'll keep that one in mind!

oh and she didn't mention when they were switching out Cargo. I didn't ask because I figured it didn't make a difference for me, lol.
