I just got an Express Tick Tock time to shop email. There's supposed to be special online deals starting at 11:00 pm tonight only.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
I got this palm print bikini [victoriassecret.com]. I like it a lot!! It looks better on me than it does on Adriana!!

Only thing is that the ruffle on the bottom is only on the front, not in the back and if the elastic isn't on right, it kind flips out. I didn't move too much in it, but it's nothing a little adjusting won't fix. The ruching on the back is towards the top, so it's kind interesting..but overall a keeper.

Now I want the matching coverup, but it's sooo expensive! C'mon swim code!

And the Goregous bikinis...
Very sexy! You definitely need the coverup. nod

Hi Girls,

I was just wondering what beauty products/brands you girls use especially for face cleanser, moisturizer, scrub? Sometimes pricey products don't work well for me (kind of sensitive skin). Right now, I am using Clinique Moisture Surge which is good but not very moisturizing for me. What about Philosophy Hope in a Jar? I know you girls have lots of samples so you girls would know a lot more than I would. Thanks and hope you are having a good week.

I have dry skin too and this is what I use for extra moisturization. Cetaphil [drugstore.com] I recently switched to Cerave cream just to try, but I don't have much experience with it yet. But the Cetaphil is very good. I apply a lot of it at night.

what else have you tried that you're sensitive to, and what else have you tried that you like? while i have yet to find any HG products i have experience trying out a lot. i have super sensitive skin also, and find i tolerate some products better than others. but i need more info before i recommend.

I don't know what works well for me unfortunately Frown I have a review of something that's crappy IMHO: The Body Shop aloe cleanser. It's really like putting a lotion on your face... feels nice, but does not clean. At all. Very silly.

Have you tried the new one--Moisture Surge Intense? I have dry skin and found that the MS Intense does a great job. Also, it is supposed to be used after regular moisturizer, did you know that? So after liquid facial soap, I use Clarifying Lotion 1, then Dramatically Different Moisturizer and then the MS Intense.

Some advice please Smilie

Know how old navy is constantly having sales? Of course, I just found stuff I like & a coupon promo just ended. I can't stand paying full price at old navy. It feels totally wrong lol. But my size might be gone when the next promo pops up. What if I buy them now, then do return & rebuy when the next promo happens? Is that too much hassle for old navy? Feels like too much effort, like cray-cray behavior :-/

Just starting with mositurizers: I recently used Dior Hydra Action and it made me break out, same with Aveeno Positively Radiant. Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizer was ok. I think Hope in a Jar was not moisturizing enough.

I would not pay full price at ON. I think you could do a PA if it is within the time frame or buy & return. From my experience, they have been pretty nice about returns.

I ordered this http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper in turquoise tie-dye, which is back ordered.
Love that one. I had the Very Fuchsia on my list.

Quote from GoHeels :

Pretty! I wish they had that top in the Very Fuchsia. I like a halter style for myself, they always look better on me. I also like that animal print. Wink I remember you asking about the bottoms the other day. The paisley is too cute!

Quote from GoHeels :
We've stayed at the UO HRH quite a few times too, but it's been awhile. We've stayed at all 3 of the UO resorts, but usually end up at HRH. The close proximity to the parks always wins out. We also love Portifino Bay, but weren't very impressed with Royal Pacific. I doubt we'll stay there again.
Ack! Don't tell me that! That is the only one we haven't stayed and planned to this October!!! I love the Portifino and so does my hubby. It's so beautiful there. We get upgraded to the suite so we are spoiled when we stay there. I also love the HRH. I just wish they were still part of the Loews program. Are you a HRH all-access member? $24.95 to join and if you stay at the HRH Orlando you get upgrades when available.

Quote from GoHeels :
We've only been to the HRH & Casino for a few hours. We've never spent the night. It's not nearly as nice as the HRH & Casino in Hollywood, FL, but it's nice to have the option close by. The one in Hollywood has a lot more restaurants, shops, & entertainment. We'll get over to the one in Tampa for a few nights eventually. They are adding to it. I'm hoping they'll eventually build it up like the other one. It's really nice.
We haven't even stepped foot inside. I've been to Hollywood but never overnight either. We aren't gamblers but it might be fun to go spend the night and hit the club there. It's open all night! bounce

Quote from kurips :
my dh won't ever do that for me. he even wants me to call for his stuff and i hate that!
Neither will mine. He says "hi I have a problem with my order, but I am going to pass you over to my wife, she handles all the finances." Teehee

I like that one. Wish I could pull one of those off. Sadwalk

Quote from GoHeels :
I may have to try their skirts then. Although, I never really wear them. I wear very few dresses. For some reason, I'm tempted to buy them anyway. : O
Their skirts that are like that are very flattering!

Thanks ladies. I sent an email. The order status says to call, so I didn't think I could email. If I'd known that, I would have done it earlier. Doh That's so much easier.
They may reply by saying to call but at least you know.

I don't have any. I'm not ordering without them.

Ole Hendrickson makes nice products. I also use some stuff I got from my dr. Skinmedica, skinceuticals, and vivite. I'm a product whore.

50% off + coupon is the best deal! We don't know what they'll have at 50% though. I'll use my $15 rc.
