Does anyone have a good technique (or youtube video) for depotting eyeshadows?
i depotted a lot but i've forgotten the skills/techniques now. you can try to search instructions on depotting the specific brand. they vary. if you can find a video (or blog) on specific brands, you'll know what to expect about how strong the glue is, for example.

I collected up some of the Peter Thomas Roth samples from Hilton, before I tried them. When I did, in the trash they went. shake head They're not up to PTR standards. They're not even up to cheap drugstore standards. (I use drugstore shampoo, but not any that bad. Plus, I want better if I'm going to hoard it from a hotel. Teehee) The next time we stayed at Hilton, I left them where they were when we checked in. Where did you get Aveda at?
...
It's awesome you found a product that works for you by accident. woot That rarely happens.
...
You know we have to link our purchases, so we can sucker everyone into being as weak as we are. Evillaugh
sorry that the PTR stuff was not good!
i've gotten those aveda shampoo/conditioner at boutique hotels. the last time i got them was at the Affinia Gardens NY on the upper west side.
and yeah, the back lotion was a surprise. i'm glad it didn't go to waste, but i thought it was funny how i tried to eliminate something from my repertoire of products, only to find it works really well somewhere else.
and yes, of course we have to link our purchases! if others buy it also, it makes the purchase more worth it for us, somehow! laugh out loud

funny - i did too (tho not as much as you), last year. i just tried depotting last night. big fail! i could not get this old EA gwp e/s depotted, so i put it back in my drawer. i managed to get the cargo e/s out of its tin, but i don't think heating it helped at all. the glue was pretty much rubber that peeled off. i am so rusty on depotting!

I finally was able to try on one of the tankinis I ordered. It was the Push-Up Halter Tankini in blue zebra. http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper I also got the matching Fold-over Low Rise bottoms on the same page. My DH really likes it on me. I like it too, so I'm going to keep it. Strangely, I tried on the same suit in leopard & purple paisley & didn't like the fit. Maybe, I was feeling worse then & nothing would have looked good. Dontknow Or maybe I'm Crazy, which is more likely. Stick Out Tongue I'm going to have to try them on again, before returning.

I tried on the other tankinis again. I'm not crazy VS is. shake head They have major spillover. If the top slipped a little, I'd literally fall out of the cups. OMG Maybe, they're from different seasons or something. Dontknow They're definitely not cut the same, even though they're supposed to be the same size.

VS still hasn't approved my payment. Shipping is the least of my concerns. Sadwalk

I've been getting together some returns. I alternate ordering in my acct. & DH's acct. It has worked out that everything I've ordered in my name I'm keeping. About 1/2 or more of what I've ordered in DH's name doesn't fit right & needs to be returned. Naturally, his is the account that they seem to be watching. Just my luck. Facepalm I'm going to have to be really careful what I order in his name for awhile.

That is weird. Did you use an src twice by accident?

All my small orders shipped. I have a couple large orders that haven't yet, but I'm not worried. Somebody got me thinking about lingerie!

I don't think I used the same SRC twice. Is there a way I can tell? Should I have my DH call to see what the problem is or is that a bad idea?

Send him on down. I heart little ones. We'll go over & play with Mickey.

DH hasn't mentioned them calling, so they must not have. They haven't emailed, because I check daily.

I want to place a bigger order of lingerie too, but my egc is connected to that account. I'm afraid to place another order on it now.

I have a question about returns for you ladies:

I ordered two bras and some panties with my 100$ SRC.

One of the bras doesn't fit very well and I accidentally ordered an XS instead of M for one of the panties--no idea how.

As far as returns go, I can use the shipping label and eat the 6$ return fee but my question is this:

I used a 10$ off any bra + free panty coupon with the order. That coupon applied to the bra I am returning, but could have been applied to the other. When I return the bra, will they move the coupon to the other bra (increasing my return value by 10$)? Also, if they won't do I have to return the free panty too?

I put 10$ of the 110$ order on my credit card, will the entire refund go to my credit card?

TIA!

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)
Thanks for the heads up! I guess I'm just striking out and should just keep trying. I totally forgot about it during the weekend.

Bloomingdales is on by bad list at the moment. I just got emails that everything in my 4/2, Estee Lauder order is no longer available. Annoyed Why would it take them a week to ship? Plus, I placed the order the day the GWP became available. Why would they be out on the first day?
That sucks GH! I think I'm putting a lot of places on my black list if they've made me angry or didn't resolve a problem. Like Alvsy said, I really really like Nordstroms. I remember this one time that I every bought from them online, I wanted to get the Clarisonic and it's supposed to come with a free gift, but it wasn't adding to my cart so I did a live chat because I still saw all the promos and they said it was out, but she said she needed to go search around and magically found one for me! I felt soo special. Sometimes shopping in store can be different, you know, judgement from the SAs and all, which really ticks me off.

Which bra did the $10 take off of? If it's the bra you're returning, you're out of luck and will get it minus $10, if it's the other bra that you're keeping, then you have that extra $10 value.

No, you keep the free panty.

Yes, entire refund goes back on your card.
