They are usually all gone by about 10 seconds after 12:00. To get in I recommend pre registering if you haven't already, then refreshing like crazy starting at 11:59 until you get the get started button, then pressing it as quickly as possible and hoping you get in. Do it on a fast browser too.
That's what I did anyway.
Which browser did you use? I tried it in Chrome and FF, but there would be a pop up and then it would disappear. Is that because I didn't pre-register? I thought I only had to register once? Could be I was wrong.

Way to be strong! Flex I'm in the same boat. I've been starting on serums and such - I'm so sad when I open them for the first time and they've gone bad.

Where are your BW's from? My TJMaxx used to get shipments of Philosophy every week and I'd have to pick up all the new body wash flavors. I'm only making progress on them now. OOooh the packets! I want to save them for travel, but when it comes time for travel, I still want to save them Facepalm
that is exactly the sort of thing i want to avoid!

my oldest body washes are from bbw semi-annual sales, where i used to pick up extra stock of my favorites that were discontinued. i've gotten through some of them already but can't wait to use up all of them!

I swear it is some sort of brainwashing technique. *sigh* I have a bunch of samples from things too, I am trying VERY hard to not buy any new stuff. Me and hubby have even less storage since the little one got here! When I have a house though, I already know I am in trouble. Hell, my SMALL perfume collection is taking over my bathroom already. I quit buying fragrances (kind of) because there is no way I will use what I have in three years!
It's even worse with daddy hahah!!
...
laugh out loud i know, it will not be pretty when i get a house. i know DF is dreading it.

I thought about selling my samples too, but I actually really like using them!! laugh out loud I guess I'd rather have the benefit of something I want to use versus something like stinky perfume that Sephora likes to substitute sometimes .

Yep, I don't need to buy anymore mascara either. And using sample mascaras, I am more inclined to toss them out more quickly than full size mascaras, which is probably a good thing anyway.



That sucks! I actually can use a packet for like 3-5 days, depending on the size and amount. Even though it's supposed to be one time use or something. Hurry and use them up so they don't go bad! laugh out loud
My skin is so sensitive that new products scare me. Most samples I don't even like, and I have enough jars/etc to use up that packets get pushed back (since they're sealed so they will last longer than jars). My pile started to stress me out, so I got rid of the stuff I would not likely use, which was about 200 packets. shake head I can't believe I let it get that bad! I still use some packets, but the majority just go into a pile and get forgotten. I am in a weird mood this year (probably bc of wedding stuff) and I just want my piles of hoards to go away! I'm sure it's cyclical and once I get rid of a lot of it, I'll feel better and start collecting again. Smilie

I used Chrome as well, I think the pop up is the facebook app popping up, if you already registered and opted in to the app, I think it is normal for it to pop up and disappear. You should need to only register once, although I did experience it once making me register again even though I had already registered. (If that happens to you, you know it is a wash for the day, by the time you fill in the info, all the spots will be taken)

wearing this shirt [thelimited.com] today. love it! it fits a little odd - it's like it was made as a wide shirt, but was stitched to be fitted, so there's a flat at the side. i don't mind the flap, and the shirt looks like it was made for me! big up top, fitted at hips - it's great. love the brightness! i just checked and looks like i got it in xs (i'm usually in between xs and s).

I tried it on in the solid blue and it looked awful on me.

hehe yeah i can imagine it looking boxy and not very good. since i got the xs it'd prob be huge on you! it's such an odd fit - almost perfectly fitted on my waist/hips but baggy up top. i love the yellow pattern! the blue is a pretty color, but i opted for the yellow kuz of the pattern. now i want the blue also.

i'm surprised it fits me so well considering i have such a strangely shaped body.

Ha, yes, the same child, but she looked more like this:

than being cute. I LOVE that duffle, I use my VS totes for diaper bags, DH had to buy an all black diaper bag so it looks manly. Whatever - if he's carrying it, he can buy whatever he wants lol.
: woot:
She still looks like a cutie to me. heart

Quote from annicus :
i was in a cleaning mood over the weekend and decided to organize my drugstore/hoarder closet. i can't believe how much stuff i have... i also realized that i had stored some stuff in my guest bathroom, under the sink, so i went through that storage space and moved everything to the main hoarder closet. i have so much stuff!!! i found a bunch of clinique deluxe samples from gwp deals from last year. i really need to use my stuff!

i am currently trying to use up all my body washes that i hoarded. i'm trying hard to not buy more until i get through some of this stuff. my goal this year is to use up lots of stuff! *sigh* i can't believe i just spent $140 buying more EL and clinique stuff, to get more samples. :facepalm :
I considered playing the drugstore game, but thought better of it. I have so much stuff I get from deals here, I never buy any beauty or bath & body products from the drugstore. I can't imagine having both to store.

Quote from Stardust42 :
Oops, sorry I must have misread that. : O Crazy work Monday. Then I've no idea why it still says payment pending. Did you use the same CC on both yours and DH's account? VS had problem with me doing that in the past. Either way, I hope your orders will ship soon! : nod:
Thanks for trying to help me figure this out. I really appreciate it. hug I didn't use the same CC. I can be sure of that, because I have my DH's CC number memorized, but not mine. laugh out loud If I had used mine, I would have had to make a conscience effort to get the card. Our DS keeps losing mine, which is why I don't ever have one long enough to remember the number. Facepalm (We don't actually use a CC. It's a debit card. They're both connected to the same acct., but have different numbers. I've done it this way at VS for years, & it's never been a problem.)

Quote from PordaPoddy :
Aww thanks chica : hug: Yeah, today went really well! I finally found a good posture to maintain (no pain). Now... I haven't tried moving beyond that, I could be frozen in place :eek : : teehee: The Ibuprofen really does help... I try to stay away from the drugs that don't attack the cause of the pain, only the feel of it- but perhaps I could have used that to sleep better ; ) You've got to enter those things, you get more entries the longer you've been on SD!
Ugh, that stinks...
: ) OK, I think I'll hit the urgent care guy and see where he wants to go with it. Even though I found the sweet spot for today, I know I'm going to push it and mess it up again.
That's a smart girl ; ) hhehee. Must follow the rule- 1 comes in, 1 goes out! When we used to drive in my Saturn, my back would hurt sooo bad. Now that we have cars with really nice/supportive seats- it wasn't a problem at all. I think it would be ~$500 to fly, $200-250 to drive. It would be nice to have some stuff I can use for an emergency : D
I'm glad you found some relief. I'd be tempted to give it more time to heal on it's own, if you weren't going out of town for the weekend. A long car ride is rough on your back. You could only make it worse. If it isn't completely better by Thurs, I'd recommend you go to the doctor, before going out of town. You want to have fun not be in more pain. hug

I use packets for travel, when we fly. The shampoo & conditioner packets are perfect for cruises. The provided shampoo stinks & there's not a lot of room for bottles. Unfortunately, I usually forget & just throw the shampoo/conditioner bottles in the suitcase at the last minute, when we drive. shake head

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
She's still cute mad. She'll be poking that lip out at you for the next several years. Ds does that to me.
My DS always used the "But I'll kiss you" method to get his way. I didn't want him to think his kisses weren't special, so I'd give in. Yes, I'm weak. Embarrassment

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your house will soon be piled up too. laugh out loud The bigger the house the more clutter you acquire.

Today they have a free concealer with $25 purchase. It's different than before.
I hope they're not onto us. The freebies are usually free w/any purchase, with only the cheapest items showing "OOS".
