They're only sore when I move. They do have pressure all the time.

new clinique bonus [clinique.com] at macys looks pretty good. there's a moisture surge in a tube (i love those - keeps the antioxidants more stable that way! and more sanitary) with a cute bag.

Also has anyone tried that Pantone stuff from Sephora? They're acting like it's the coming of the second Messiah LOL
lol, they really are! the blush duo and the prism are kinda tempting...have to go to the store and see how they look on me cuz tangerine and orange are colors that make me a little nervous haha. they described the blush as almost a coral color and it sounds really pretty though, so maybe it will look nice Smilie

Quote from annicus :
hey slicky -
i've done treatments on bikini line, underarms, upper lip, arms and legs. i am a veteran at LHR! laugh out loud i only did upper lip once tho, and tbh i don't think it did anything for me (my hairs there are really light).
the only time there was any kind of reaction was on my legs, and a little bit on my arms. i think it was because the hair follicles are much thicker there so they reacted and got red and bumpy. they put some hydrocortisone on it before i left the office, and within a few hours, they went away. so even if you do get a reaction (unlikely tho, on your face, unless your hair is super thick there) it should go away in a few hours.
they do warn you that LHR on your face could cause hyperpigmentation and such. it didn't for me, but that's something i would definitely look into more. again i only had 1 treatment there. it was a little more uncomfortable on upper lip than on underarms.
i'm going to start LHR on my arms on tuesday...eep! i'm really hoping it works cuz i have a ton of hyperpigmentation on the backs of my arms from a combo of lovely keratosis pilaris and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and the dermatologist told me the only way i'll be able to clear up the pigment is by getting rid of the cause - the hair. grrr. laugh out loud i want to get my underarms and back done too...and then eventually my legs. i'm just a bit worried because a few years ago, i had electrolysis done on my face and it helped, but the technician said that my hair is so thick and freaking stubborn...she'd zap some of them like 7 times and they still wouldn't come out! Pray that this will work well...and will be more in the range of 3-6 sessions and not "up to 12."

glad you came through it okay and hoping you have a speedy recovery! hug

And just wanted to let you girls know...I matched! Psychiatry residency at my first choice: DMC/WSU program in Detroit Smilie I would have been happy anywhere - Chicago, NY, or Cali, but I don't know, all my really close friends and family are here, and I've been at WSU for 8 years now, so I kinda didn't really want to leave lol.

And now...back to packing up my apartment, we're moving out on Sunday, and I swear, how the HECK did I accumulate so much crap in two years?!?!

(actually, I know how...thanks to you girls and this thread! shake head LMAO )

i never get the auto message now if i reply to an email confirmation. instead, i go directly to their site's contact us; n get the auto email within 5 mins. They respond usually by the next business day.

Revlon has nail enamel that is scented when dry for at least a year. I have never tried it though.
I had no idea. I go into a drugstore about four times a year. If you girls don't talk about a product, I usually don't know about it.

Quote from Tizzylicious :
Not in the shopping mood? How is that possible?

Waiting for these SRC is killing me. I want to know already!! I've got my eye on the new Fabulous bra, I need an Angels bra in black, Ruched T dress in blue [victoriassecret.com], I like the Little T dresses in colors and the zebra print [victoriassecret.com] but don't know if DH would go for that one. I love an animal print, he does not. :teehee : I love those keyhole tops but am worried about the bra top aspect. Bra tops never fit me right. : sadwalk:
I know! I don't know what got into me. laugh out loud I ended up ordering a swim cover-up, another bra & something in the seductive treats line to surprise my DH. Teehee After I went to bed, my shopping gene kicked in & I wished I'd ordered the swim cover-up in one or both of the other colors. When I logged on this morning, it had gone up from $28 to $38. I should have gotten back up last night. Annoyed There's more things I want, but they're all full price. I'm waiting on SRCs & hopefully codes or a sale for those.

I have the fabulous bra in rainbow stripe on the way. I'll let you know what I think about it, when it gets here.

Your DH may surprise you & like the zebra print. You should at least try it. I can understand why you wouldn't want to buy something he wouldn't like though. I'm the same way. If I'm on the fence about something, I always ask my DH for his opinion. If I really want it, I don't care what he thinks. I just buy it. Teehee FWIW, bra tops don't fit me right either. It could be, because I always wear them with a bra. Embarrassment The only time I wear them without a bra, is when I'm traveling with people other than my DH. I wear them as a pajama top. They don't offer much support sans bra, but they're a bit more modest than not wearing a bra at all.

Mine are getting better now that I have the stylus and more colors :woot2 : Really though I think the game is the most fun when the drawings are bad and you're like "WTF is that!?" I love it! lol, one of the words I picked was "whip" and the only thing I could think of was a dominatrix with a whip...for a conservative Christian friend...lol
She/he probably thought it was funny. I wouldn't be considered a conservative Christian, because of political views. I am a Christian never-the-less. If I chose whip, I would have thought of the same thing you did. Coverlaugh

Thanks

I've considered moving my prescriptions to take advantage of these deals. My meds are so much cheaper at Walmart than Walgreens though, & we don't have insurance. I'm not sure it would be worth it. I'd love to hear from some of you who do this. Do you think it's worth it, if you're moving your prescriptions from Walmart w/o the benefit of having insurance to cover most of the cost?

Wave I'm glad to see you back.

Quote from ayoungpretender :
I never liked the Biofit strapless. I could never get the lining to lay right and the cups were too small and cut in across the top. We're around the same size and I like the BBV multi-way [victoriassecret.com], definitely my favorite from VS. The Showstopper [victoriassecret.com] is pretty good as well. The VS one [victoriassecret.com] is acceptable, but kind of flimsy, though no where near as bad as the old style. I only wear it with shirts that already have a built-in bra. I have theIncredible [victoriassecret.com] front-close one too and it has good support, but the cups are a little too small, it might be worth trying.
Thanks for the comparisons. I put the BBV bra in my wish list to buy with an SRC. I've had the VS multi-way in white crochet lace on back order so long that I had forgotten about it until I clicked on your link. Eventually, I'll be getting that one too. I'll probably keep the Biofit bra to have more options. Plus, I got it for $19.99. I'm hoping it will be okay for occasional use. The thing about it that I didn't really care for was the rubber feeling in the band. I guess that's needed for a strapless though.

As anni said, use the email she posted. You'll have better luck. The SRC should be emailed to you within 24 hours, at least mine was.

Quote from GirlOnTheBeach :
I think the blue zebra is cute!! I have a black/white zebra tankini from VS that I bought for my honeymoon and I still : heart: it! Lemme know what you think when it comes! I really wanted the leopard, but the top was sold out in my size. That's ok though...I think the foil chain will be cute and out of the norm of what I normally wear.
I hope I like it. Blue zebra was the only color left that would probably look okay with my complexion. I'll let you know what I think, when I get it. I would have ordered leopard too, but I would need a great tan to pull it off. That's kind of unlikely, so I passed. laugh out loud

Thanks. I wish Macys had another good GWP to get the order up to $50 for FS.

Which do you like better? I may send my DH to the mall for it. Ordering online is so much easier. I wish we could get FS.

I needed Youth Surge moisturizer and Moisture Surge--got the new MS Intense to try. The blush shades are Fig for the nudes, and New Clover (one of my favs) for the pinks.

You could always order extra stuff to get the free ship and then return at a later date.
It's funny--I like the eye shadows in the nudes better but the blush in the pinks better. So I guess it's good that I got both.LMAO

Does your Macy's stick to the limit of one GWP per person? My Macy's used to let you divide up your stuff to get several of the GWP and about a year ago one of my fav reps told me she could no longer give me more than one. That they are suppose to ask you if already received one before. I asked can my dd's get one, if they did I had to use a different kind of payment, so there were no issues.

Yes when there is a line. I went the first day to get it, then was back in the mall to get the VS umbrella a few days later so it was no problem.
