The email said the stores would have a wristlet that matches the bag for $5 and you need to get the tote with the $75 purch to get it. Are you guys not interested in the wristlet? I see you all ordering online. My store said they did get the tote in yesterday but not the wristlet.

Work isn't going too bad this week. Miss the LO a lot, but I am holding up OK.

To whoever posted the Clinique deal, you are evil. Truly evil. Although, every order I place, the samples sell so well on ebay I can make back the cost of the items I am buying. So thank you, but GRR too Smilie

Oh, does anyone have an SRC left they want to trade? I have a $10 Kohl's cash code I can trade. LMK!

Oh, and this [victoriassecret.com] ended up being a no go for me. Boobies didn't fit, it just didn't fit right. I can't explain, maybe I'm just too ugh to be happy with anything right now, but it was a DEFINITE no go. The overlap in the front was not flattering and I just didn't care for it. Thought I would let ya'll know as I think at least one person showed interest in it...

We're trying really hard to live a CC free life. We paid ours off a couple years ago, & haven't used one since. The deals you girls get make it hard for me to resist signing up for one at places like Kohls & VS though. It doesn't help that VS keeps sending pop-up invitations for a pre-approved CC, when I log into my acct. It's getting harder & harder to stay strong. Facepalm
That's really smart though...I have 2 cards of my own, one is a Visa and the other the Express card, and I share the Kohls card with my mom. Even with just those few, sometimes I look at how much I spend and I Faint (the other times, I just don't look! LMAO ).

So DH surprised me today with my very own laptop! woot It's so hard getting used to this thing when I am used to a mouse. Teehee
Whee yay!

Quote from annicus :
I was so stressed out with my dad around that I spilled tea on my laptop. Frown then i got pissed at everything and yelled at dad then called dbf and yelled at him. I hate when i do stuff like this, argh! I can't handle my parents. They are too much stress. Just dropped him off at the airport. Now i have to go to work. Frown
oh no! I hope it's working now! hug

Sephora has a brazilian peel sample. Free lucky magazine ($10 value) with $25 purchase at sephora: code LUCKY4YOU
thanks!!

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
I remember you recommending the Sedu now...hmmm...decisions decisions. I'm trying to stay cheap as I just bought a new hair dryer the other day (and a ton of clothes, makeup, VS stuff, shoes, and other random stuff) and I should NOT be spending money!!!

I'll probably try the solia.


GRRRRRRRRRRR.

Why oh why oh WHY DO I ALWAYS FORGET TO USE A CASHBACK SITE UNTIL AFTER I COMPLETE MY ORDER!!!!!!!!
story of my life lately...and I'll remember as soon as I hit "submit" on the order too! shake head

Hello all! I know I told you all I had the last 2 teeth removed, but I cannot remember if I mentioned that the braces are locked and loaded. I have had them for a day over a week. Still cannot bite into foods (chewing on the sides of my mouth). I did go to the Melting Pot with my nuSO the night I got them. I had a good time and could eat most of the items.
Frown I hope you're feeling better! And mmm, Melting Pot! drool

Quote from anastaciab :
Hi All! Wave im buying into the BB cream phenom today... but im not sure which brand to get? Anyone have any suggestions?
I tried the Garnier bb cream for a Bzzz campaign recently. It was pretty good, but felt a little heavy and wasn't particularly suited for my oily-combo skin (I prefer matte finishes). Depending on your skin type, it might be worth a try as it's a drugstore product so definitely much more affordable than some of the higher-end lines.

laugh out loud I bought two of the (minus the) leather jackets...$57/each after $40 off coupon and tax! such a (slick)deal! Big Grin

Quote from stinkybunny :
Wave re: express, my express now has on the receipt a "return value" which splits your promo between the two items if you return one. ie if you buy something for 50 and the second item is 25 after the promo, you get 37.50 for returning either item. hope that makes sense! online, i dont think they do that yet Wink
Wave hey hey!

Awww...my dad said when I was a baby, I used to try to rip out his chest hair Embarrassment And it sounds like this fascination with hair continues for a while...my 3-year-old cousin likes to twirl someone's hair around his fingers as he goes to sleep. Possible solution? [blueskyscrubs.com]

yep! there are 2 - sephora has 1, and i think nords carries the other.
unfortunately they are both pretty dark - they prob won't work for you alvs, at least not when ur not tanning. the sephora one (hydralife i think it's called) is a medium tone, suitable for nc33-35 i think. the other one (dior snow? or something) is a bit lighter and less orange, but still not for anyone paler than perhaps nc25-nc30.
as far as texture/coverage/etc, it's pretty good for a US-released bb cream! thick and pigmented like my other bb creams. coverage was decent and it lasted awhile i think, but it may have clogged my pores similar to the missha perfect cover.

I'm a 15 or 20. They both sound too dark.
I've just been wearing skinceuticals tinted sunscreen and lancome mineral powder. I like that combo. I wear the teint idole foundation sometimes but not all the time. I also have the radiance foundation that I sometimes wear. I just don't do the liquid foundations on a daily basis.

i only tried the one from sephora, and it was pretty dark and orange. i think the snow one is better bc at least it's not orange, but sephora doesn't carry it.

oOoo which skinceuticals tinted sunscreen? my MUA loves that brand. i really like the arcona reozone [nordstrom.com] (my spring santa sent me a deluxe 1 oz sample that i never did get thru, but it's great) bc it works well as a base and controls oil well, but it smells funny. i also bought the elta md uv physical [dermstore.com] tinted sunscreen that i plan on using after the arcona.

This stuff. Love it. It has a high spf, and I can put it on without breaking out. Even after peels. It's what they put on my at the dr after my peels. I loved it so I bought it.
