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. Smilie
I love that tinted moisturizer too! It feels the most BB cream-ish of any TMs I have.

I hate that it's completely not waterproof (in fact, if I splash some water on it, it turns white and disappears EEK! - not even water resistant) but other than that, I like how it feels. It also doesn't clog my pores and almost makes my skin look nicer. I can't say that about most foundations/TMs... I have so much trouble with products!

question about shoprunner:
I'm trying to get the free deborah lippmann np with $10 beauty.com purchase, but it's saying that it's not eligible for shoprunner. But shipping is still showing up as 0.00 and I can click on the 'place my order' button. Am I SOL? Or can I just place the order since it's showing the right price for me now? I think it must not allow nail polish kuz of the ground shipping restriction for nail polishes. Sadwalk

Did anyone get their umbrella + bag of goodies from Sephora? She gave me the umbrella but not bag of samples, which I didn't realize until I got home. I don't need any more samples, but I'm wondering what I missed out on.

I went about fifteen minutes after they opened and she said I was the first one. This is the only Sephora in my state, though, so I don't know if many people are VIBs...

Quote from ayaspiralout :
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
I'm happy to hear about the lightening of scarring. That is the main reason I want to try them. I am also happy to hear it wears off without a line. Another plus! Okay I've got to get some of this now. nod

Jessica Simpson has some really cute ones this year. But I'm obsessed with her shoes. I love a platform! heart

Quote from annicus :
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 wish I could just wear a tinted moisturizer, but my skin needs more coverage. Frown

Good times, bad hair.

I agree. I haven't found any that I have to have. :shake :
Boo, on Wiregrass VS. That's what I figured. I've run into some really nice employees there & some that weren't nice at all. BBW there seems to be worse. I've rarely run into a nice person there. The employees at the Brandon VS have always been really nice, but I hate to drive that far.

I used to pick on my sisters for the hippie look in the 70s. That flat, stringy hair was awful. Now, I'm glad I'm the youngest. There's no one to harass me over my big hair days. laugh out loud

Let me know, if you find any cute tankinis.

I placed 3 VS orders on the 27th. One was in my DH's acct. & two were in my acct. Only the last order placed (the 2nd one in my acct.) has shipped. It shipped yesterday. The others still say processed. Is this normal?

At the VS in WC I have had good luck with employees there. Always willing to help. I like it so much better than the VS in King Of Prussia PA where I used to live. They were b~itches. Rolleyes2

I've only ever gone to Brandon to eat but never shopped there since Wiregrass is 10 minute drive for me. If you try it in Brandon and they let it let me know. But then again it all comes down to what employee is working and allowing it that day. Scratchchin

What do you all think about the BioFit 7-way Bra? I ordered it, because it was on clearance for $19.99 in a pink color. Plus, I really need a versatile bra, especially a good strapless. I'm just not sure about this one. I've only tried it on & haven't tried it under clothing. I can't decide if I like it, & don't want to wear it for the day, in case I decide to return it. I need a strapless with good support. Do you all thing this bra is good for that?

The last time I was in VS @ WC was around Christmas time. They're always super busy then, so I wouldn't judge them by anything they did during that time. Before that, it had been a while. I've dealt with some really nasty people there in the past. One CSR tried to take away a free panty coupon once w/o allowing me to use it. She said it wasn't mine. Dontknow The customer behind me called her on it. Evillaugh I've had them try to deny me SRCs, & PINK dogs too. As a matter of fact, I've had to argue for just about everything I've gotten there. They were nice as long as I didn't have a coupon or didn't make a purchase that included a GWP. I'm glad to see there's hope for a pleasant experience in there. Maybe the management has changed. I hope so.

It's been awhile since I've been to Brandon too. They must have had good management at the time. Everybody I've dealt with was extremely friendly & helpful. Hopefully, that's still the case. Although, I wouldn't call any CSR at any VS unhelpful/unfriendly for not allowing SRCs to stack. If it's a VS rule, it's a rule. I wouldn't get upset about that..
