Thanks for the info on the coconut water.

I think the swim tote looks cute. I love big totes for the beach! I have lots of crap to carry always laugh out loud!

I feel weird. I'm not motivated by src's like I usually am.
No SRC for me either laugh out loud

Wave Sorry to pop in and out girls, been a crazy few weeks here. This question is for the girls that participated in the "VS Returns" club or any others whom may have had this happen to them. Have any of you deposited checks you received from VS generated from this latest batch of returns? As of yesterday,VS has "returned" them. . . as in my bank is charging me $12 for each f***ing check I deposited from VS. CensoredAngry2MadAngryBomb


The reason provided by VS to my bank was "Refer to Maker"Messed Up . I looked to see if I was credited twice (once to my CC and once via check form) and that is not the case. I could go back now and look for a credit to the GC I used...but heck if I know which freaking GC that was. Mistake or not, this VS shenanigan is costing me almost $100 in fees. I will be seeking reimbursement for it and possibly canceling my VS CC.

Omg, they're bouncing checks EEK!. It's been awhile since I've received a check from them. Sent some stuff back yesterday though.

I keep thinking it's something I did... or they suddenly realized they should refund me back to GC instead of a check. Dontknow Either way, $12 fee/check when some were <$5 to begin with = Blowup

I've never know them to credit back to a gc. It's either to the cc or a check. Thats weird.

wtf?! that's awful porda!! Comfort

i got lucky on my last box of returns - it all went back to cc for me, even the older ones. but i don't know if i've ever gotten a check - i usually get a gc when it's older than 90 days.

Has anyone gotten their dermstore MORE rebate yet? I sent mine in on January 16th, and I still haven't gotten it. I got an issue of the magazine, though. I hope it comes soon.

I got a folica one that I sent in two weeks later yesterday....

i like how its 3 of them in different sizes
but i think it looks much cuter in the pic

saw it in store and its a bit dull colored. & rough canvas material.
I agree...also the zipper on those weren't made that well b/c I had a hard time playing with the sample out on display. I also didn't see anything I wanted so money saved! woot

Quote from annicus :
You should try the essie one that you have. I have Orly Bonder but it doesn't work too well for me. A lot of polishes peel off for me, including zoya. I'm actually surprised Orly Bonder works for Sheena with zoya. I've been using an old sally Hansen base coat with zoya to avoid the peeling.

I haven't tried Bonder with julep yet, but I used it with Deborah Lippmann np and its peeling already after 4 days.
Yeah, using base coats I already have would be the smart thing to do. That's not as much fun as shopping though. Blush I wonder if Orly Bonder just doesn't work with Zoya. Scratchchin Speaking of Zoya, I love the colors I got from the last deal. I haven't tried them yet, but they're really pretty in the bottle.

I would have been happy with 4 days. The CND Toughen Up/Julep combo literally started peeling in big pieces the next day. Some of them peeled off in one big piece. The polish separated from the nail & was sticking up around the edges. I didn't have to use polish remover on any of them. They peeled off easily. I think Essie may have lasted a little longer, but not much.

Quote from MissDaisy :
i like creative stickey base too, and i use the nail tek base coat sometimes too. i find that my nail polish peels when i put on too thick of layers or too many of them. the cnd toughen up base probably doesn't work with your nail chemisty though if it peels for every polish you put on.
Thanks for the info. I always use 2 coats of polish & top coat. I don't think that should be too much, & cause it to peel. I think the Julep polish may have peeled worse than Essie, but they both peeled really fast. Obviously, CND TU isn't for me. I'd like to find a combo that works great with my nails, & try to stay with those brands. I say try, because I have a hard time passing on a deal for any brand. Teehee

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Good morning ladies! Still no src's :teehee :!
I have to wait for them to be offered to the GP. There will need to be a deal to get me to bite though. I need bras, but they never seem to have my size in the bras I like. Swimsuits are one thing I rarely buy online. I'm picky about the way they fit. The only thing I can think of that I really want is some lingerie, but it would have to be a good deal for me to buy it online. I'm getting tired of doing returns, because stuff doesn't fit or look right.

Quote from longislandgirl :
I was having coconut water this morning and I read 1 serving of coconut water is having double the potassium than a banana (and less calories too :lol Smilie thought I would share with you.


swim tote is cute but huge. Still I feel it could make a really good beach tote IMO.I like it being canvas and it has side pockets to carry water bottle etc without mixing it up with lotions and other beach items. orange stripe is too bright but i like all shades of orange :bounce : I ordered the cheapest possible swim item to get the tote but I am loving my set too : P
How does coconut water taste? I've never tried it. Is it sweet? If so, that may satisfy my sweet tooth & get me to drink some water. Sometimes, I eat a piece of fruit to satisfy my sweet tooth, w/o adding too many calories. This may work better. At least, I'd be drinking a little water.

Good luck. I can't believe they're bouncing checks on purpose. That takes bad CS to a whole new level.
