i'm hoping to fit in some of the same outfits for the after. some of the lingerie i think i'll be able to. the swimsuits too. the bra was a very sexy and a dream angels push up. i want to do the after so you can tell the difference.

I'm full of questions lately...

I've been using PurMinerals, the pressed powder compact, with a kabuki brush. I've noticed that the center portion of the powder (where I swish the brush around) is hard--almost like it's packed down--and darker in color than the rest of the powder. My bristles don't pick much powder up from that part anymore. I'm not even an eighth of the way through the compact, so I'm not going to throw it away, but what should I do? Remove a layer of the "packed" portion with a scraper to get a fresh powder surface?

I just tried for the SRC giveaway on Facebook. I guess everyone was so fast that I couldn't even get the SRC page to load without displaying the HTML code on the page! Faint

i think it does that because of the oil from your skin. nor sure though.

agree - yes, it's from the oil from your skin. not sure how to get rid of it tho. i think i've tried scraping it off, but i don't remember how effective that was. i used to get that when i used sponge applicators. i'm surprised with the brush!
one thing you could try to do to prevent the oil buildup in the future is maybe try blotting with blotting papers before applying powder.

great. i wanted to try for one and didn't even remember to do so!

i thought it said once for the whole period. is it one entry per day? i would think if ppl can only enter once, we may have more of a chance later on. but if it's once per day we're screwed. laugh out loud

its supposed to be one per person/per fb acct/email addy for the entire giveaway period

but i'm sure ppl create lots of accounts and find ways around it...

gluck to us!

oic - i would assume i'd have the same issue then!
but getting bigger is always something that happens first, isn't it? i always gain muscle first, and then the muscle helps burn the fat faster. but it's probably a good idea to do a combination of cardio and muscle-toning.
Yeah, I did it for a couple months and was not happy with how I looked. Like the fat never left, lol

Oh, I forgot to post! I had 6 SRC's, and they were all $10. I'm still glad to have $60 to spend at VS. I haven't been buying much lately...been so busy with school and trip-planning!

They usually do in my experience, plus the shaping is not as flattering under clothing, so I almost never order them unless they're just to wear to bed.
Thanks for the info. I guess I'll pass.

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
All things you put work into feel *so* much better at the end. My husband looked at me like I was insane the other day when I told him I wasn't sure I would ever want to win millions in the lottery. I told him I think a net of $750k is perfect. Maybe even 2 million, max. If I were to win 200 million dollars, everything I have worked for would mean so much less. We've fought to get to where we are and I am proud of that. It keeps me going. If I won the lottery I would be a lazy brat. I don't want to be that! So I am impatient but I know the patience makes everything worthwhile. I have a weird way of processing things!

I hope the pup is doing great!!! Glad he is getting clean teeth, nothing worse than funky dog breath :lo l:

Yeah - taking care of Natalie tends to highlight my lack of patience sometimes. I have to learn. I do a LOT better than I thought I would though, but if she doesn't fall asleep in the next hour I am going to lose my mind. JUST when I think she is asleep, I wait 5 mins and she is up. Again.



Nursing only worked for 6 weeks for us. I pumped exclusively for 6 weeks, as my child is a dyson with piranha teeth and a lactose issue. Headache. Hopefully some of the creams work soon! Mine is on my back and it is SO FARKING GROSS! : (
If you win the mega-lottery, you can give it to me. I'd take it. Big Grin I'd pay off my home & my sister's debts, & redo our house in NC. The rest I would travel on. I don't want a bigger house. I always wish mine was smaller, when it's time to clean. Stick Out Tongue I could use a new car, but I wouldn't buy an expensive one. What I want more than anything is to be able to afford to travel to see all the world has to offer.

I really like the last belt. For some reason, I never wear one. I should start wearing one on occasion.

I missed it yesterday. I'm glad I didn't bother making sure I didn't miss it today.

The reports of $100s & $500s yesterday were tempting. It seems like they gave out more high cards yesterday than were given out all month last month. If I knew they were only giving out $10s now, I wouldn't bother either. I definitely don't need more of those.
