Yeah, same thing happened to me just earlier this week. But like azn & hba said, it will eventually show up on your account. Most likely UPS just didn't scan it. It takes about 7-10 business days for the package to get there and then couple more days for it to show up on your account. So I would say wait about 2-3 weeks before freaking out. nod


Post them on SD! Whee

Liggy, you asked about the umbrella, I think it may be compact online: based on this [ebay.com]

But I could be wrong though...

I guess it was from their Supermodel Essentials line, so I guess they're reusing it as GWP or something

I'll have to try this too! I failed at the "sock bun" curls. Did you ever see that Remington 3 in 1 hair dryer [target.com] with tool that creates beach waves? Another item on my to buy list. Teehee
Thanks for this suggestion. I looked at the video that K shared below, it's not really my style that I'd go for, the curls that the girl did. Looks like she just braided her hair and let it go.

Thanks for sharing this, but I wouldn't get it. I'm curious too if Tizzy gets it to try.

Quote from ayaspiralout :
It depends on how lazy I am. If I'm not going anywhere important I'll just wear it alone, but if I want I can treat them as foundations, like they'll last longer with powder and setting spray, and I even wear primer under them sometimes. Of the ones I've tried, Missha perfect cover has the most coverage while looking COMPLETELY natural. If I'm going to be out for a long time I still wear a longwearing foundation instead of BB cream.
That's kind of what I wanted to try BB cream for, days when I'm just running quick errands and don't need a full face of makeup. I also read its supposed to help fade scarring. Have you noticed any benefits from the BB cream? I've got two spots on my cheek I'd like to try to fade from a hormonal acne breakout I had. Frown

Quote from annicus :
i've also tried a couple of japanese bb creams, and my absolutely favorite is nanoce bb moist cream [makeupalley.com]. it's super thick/pigmented, but controls oil really well and does not clog my skin or irritate my cheeks! i love it so much. there are 2 color choices - the lighter no.1 is suitable for nc15-nc20 i think, while the darker is more for nc30ish. i love that they are yellow-toned rather than grey-toned like a lot of the korean ones.

i also have hada labo bb cream [amazon.com] and hada labo bb emulsion [amazon.com] - between the two i like the emulsion better. it's really light but looks great and does not get super oily. i got both of these in the #2 color (the purple is the darker one, the pink is the lighter shade) and it's a bit darker than the nanoce - i'd say nc33 or so. the lighter one is probably for nc20 skin, but i am not sure.
Wow thank you so much for all this information! I never even heard of the three you listed. I will have to look into them. Oil isn't an issue with my skin. I asked ayaspiralout the same thing, do you see any beneficial changes in your skin from wearing the BB cream?

Quote from GoHeels :
Tizzy, if you find a VS that allows you to stack SRCs, please let me know. : please: I'll do the same.
Last time around I tried it in Wesley Chapel and it was a no go. shake head

Quote from GoHeels :
Gotta love the 80s. Good times. : nod:
Good times, bad hair.

Quote from GoHeels :
Selling them for that, after you're sure they're all 10s makes a lot more sense. IMHO, it's crazy to sell them early for that price.
I agree. No way I'd be able to let them go and not know what they were for. You could have a $500 in there! OMG

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
This time tomorrow I'll have new boobs!
Yay! woot I wish you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery!

Quote from GoHeels :
I wish they had tankinis in some of the bikini prints. There are some beautiful ones. I love some of the jeweled tops with print bottoms. The tankini prints are much more boring for the most part.
I agree. I haven't found any that I have to have. shake head

That is one drawback, the time it would take. I think my DD will have a lot of fun with it tho, I may give it a try. nod

hey anni instead of going back to your post about your nails peeling, I wanted to let you know that I've been taking a good multivitamin regularly and my nails seem much less prone to to breaking or peeling. I don't feel like I need to have them painted anymore for the purpose of keeping them from breaking! I have some hair/skin/nails vitamins from CVS that I have also tried taking but I don't want to OD on vitamins. lol. They might also have improved since I've been doing the sticky sandwich with Orly Bonder- I am doing less stuff to my nails all the time.

My skin has really reacted well to using BB cream. I have oily skin with a lot of clogged pores and acne scarring, and at this point the only reason I feel the need to wear something is to cover my large pores and conceal some redness/dark circles, etc., no longer because of scarring. I don't know if it's the BB cream or if it's not using normal foundation nearly as often, but my skin looks and feels a lot better.

edit: another reason I like bb cream is that if it wears off, there isn't a noticeable line where the makeup ends and your skin begins, like if you are wearing a full coverage foundation and blow your nose...lol

...
np! i never bothered to try other korean ones, because they mostly only have 1 shade and it generally matches really pale ppl, which i am not. the ones with multiple shades work much better for me.
as far as beneficial changes to my skin, i would say, no. to me, it's just a thick foundation. some (like the missha) clog my pores and cause me to have poorer skin. but this may be because normally i don't wear foundation - i prefer tinted moisturizers bc my skin breathes better. i like the feel of bb cream bc it doesn't feel super heavy, which some foundations can.

i'm glad your nails are better aya! i wonder if my 2 nails started peeling at the ends bc i forgot my multivitamin for a few days. Scratchchin i haven't grown them out for awhile, so it may just be they were longer than expected. i'm not sure. i do paint my nails a lot more now than i used to so it could also be the added stress from all the nail polish.

and yeah, i love how natural bb creams look. you can use more for more coverage, but it's really not necessary, and if it melts off it doesn't look that bad! it really is all the benefits of a tinted moisturizer (which does the same thing for me - i.e. the neutrogena healthy skin enhancer - i've been using that a lot lately trying to use up my bottle, and it's always melted off by the end of the day but my skin doesn't look horrible) but with more coverage.
