Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

Where are you planning to go? I love hearing vacation plans.
That EL gift looks great. Thanks for posting! I just came from Seattle because a friend of mine is moving, and I love Seattle. My boyfriend has a conference in Australia in May where he's bringing me with frequent flier miles (I do put up with all the travel afterall Smilie ), and I have a conference in Turkey in June (and possibly another in Switzerland if I get accepted). We're taking extra time in both places to go explore. I can't wait!

Also, congrats to all of the big SRC winners. I'm so glad this thread has so many! Keep us posted on what you decide to order Smilie

All of the items in my Bloomingdales cart say We need to confirm the availability of this item. When in stock, this item usually ships within 5 business days. If it's not available, we'll let you know. Do they usually ship the item you paid for, if the GWP is OOS? That would stink. I've ordered beauty products from them before. I guess I didn't pay attention to the warning previously. I don't remember it.

Wow, you really have a great year ahead. woot I'd love to go to all of those places. I've been to Seattle, but only for a cruise to Alaska. We didn't spend as much time there as I would have liked. Good luck on getting accepted for Switzerland.

I got 2 SRCs in orders today. Both were $10s.

I know, I want it now that they've reformulated the concealer and the kit now has a mattifying primer instead of that Spotlight stuff drool I want to try the new foundation, Musings of a Muse loves it. I probably won't order anything though, I've been good lately Hide

awww i really shouldn't either. i've been trying to use up stuff this year! my goal is to hit pan on SOMETHING this year... tho i think my best bet will be an e/s, not a blush. laugh out loud i'd love to finish one of my foundations but that's never going to happen. maaaybe with the neutrogena TM - i'm about halfway now.

which new foundation? maybe i will stop by a bloomies to buy something rather than order online. DWL sounds better for me than DW. i'm still looking for a suitable foundy for my wedding! (if i don't find one, i'm going to have to default to MUFE and blotting every hour. Ermm)

oh yeah, thanks red (i think?) for letting us know about the cheap thebalm sets at tjmaxx! i got one at marshalls over the weekend - a np, a mini kabuki, a lip gloss, and mary lou-manizer all for only $10! woot i remember when they (over)priced these at $23. ridiculous!

Great! I'm glad you found some of those sets. I love thebalm products! I think foundation is the only thing I ever use up. No matter what I use, I always seem to go back to my lancome, though I like the Missha as well...

I'm pretty excited for the summer. I haven't taken a vacation in 3 (or maybe 4?) years, and I haven't really taken time off other than when I was sick. It's just been one long game of catchup. Now, I can at least start presenting my work in cool places. DBF goes all over, so I'm glad we were able to coordinate these trips, He's in London the week before Istanbul, so it's easy for him to jet over to me.

I don't even know what to try by EL, but this gift is tempting me...I think EL always has the most attractive gifts!

Also, origins is doing an earth day freebie again this year. "Score a free full-size Origins moisturizer on Sunday, April 22, 2012 as part of the chain's Earth Day celebrations. No purchase is necessary for your Earth Day freebie -- you just need to bring in a bottle of your current skincare to swap out. And the bottle can even be empty -- the Origins team will just recycle it for you!"

I think it's called invisible fluid foundation or something?? I think it's supposed to be like Lancome Teint Miracle. DWL would work better for you than DW for sure, also supposedly DWL is "safe" for for flash photography and the original one isn't. You should definitely try it!

I got the Fabulous bra in rainbow stripe in today.http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper The vibrant colors are perfect for summer. I love that it's different from other bras I have. They're more sexy & this one is more playful/fun. It seems to run a bit bigger than most VS bras. I had to tighten the band & straps more than usual for a new bra to get it to fit right. It fits really good, after I did that. I wouldn't recommend sizing up. It's not that much bigger. It's a keeper.

Please, send some of that willpower my way. I really need it.
