FYI - Front Page Deal on the Sun Kit is pretty awesome, the codes are stacking Sly
This post has instructions: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=49653012&postcount=31

I purchased: Sun Kit, DiorShow gold/brown Mascara, Cleansing wipes
Freebies: Bag of mini perfumes, deluxe perfume mini bottle, Origins Earthday moisturiser + cashed 100 points on mini DiorShow Mascara in black + the regular 3 packet samples woot
Total Came in at ~$53 + tax
OMG! i placed an order kuz i was there last night and left something in my cart... this pushed me to order. woot i tried a bunch of other codes out there but none of them stacked... only those 3. i did not get the sun kit tho - i have no need for that stuff just yet!

don't forget ppl - e*bates has 8% right now.

speaking of sephora, my overseas friend was in town recently, and told me she went to sephora and made a purchase and got me some more points! woot i decided to go in my acct to see if i've qualified for VIB again yet, considering she's been spending so much. i summed up just her spending and it was already $348! Faint so i've definitely requalified - i'm pretty sure i've spent $2 there since jan. laugh out loud do i get another 10% if i'm already VIB? or how does that work?

I'll definitely check it out. Do they release codes or do you usually have to pay full price?
Yes, they do release codes! It's like once a season or something. They also send mailers to me with one-time use codes. I'll let you know when I see codes for the masses on their website. They usually post them there. They just had some codes that ended last weekend, so it might be a while before they have something again.

So awesome you re-qualified!

In my experience, you don't get the 10% if you're VIB until it hits the month that you originally hit VIB.

For me, I hit VIB in December and each December, I get the 10% off coupon. However, when I hit VIB like March or something some time ago, I did use another 10% off coupon BEFORE my month came around in Dec. When Dec came around and I tried to use the 10% off they said I already used it. So I mean, I guess you can use your 10% off earlier, but you can just use it once a year, no matter when you use it.

thanks for that azn. that clears things up... i think i qualified in july last year so i'll expect the coupon in july. so when you said it wouldn't let you use it, was it online? i know i can use the 10% off online right now, but what about in store - would i still be able to use it in-store when i get it in july?

thanks - these are the first times i've had vib so i'm new to all of this! i did not expect to requalify at all this year. i guess my subliminal messages helped - i convinced my friend to get a clarisonic after showing her a video. Coverlaugh and i gave her a sample of a lavanilla perfume since i know she likes vanilla and organic stuff, and she ended up purchasing the full size! laugh out loud

I skipped the Sun Kit also. I have so many sun products at home already.

I'm so excited to get the samples! Big Grin (Esp. for the fragrance b/c I want to buy a new scent.)

It looks like Sephora just killed the codes. I'm such a dummy. Doh I placed a Sephora order on my DH's acct., instead of mine. It just occurred to me that I would get the birthday gift, so I was going to place an order on my acct. too. Midway through the order the freebies disappeared from my cart. Now, it removes one code, when I enter another. I really should stop alternating accts. anyway. I can't even remember why I started in the first place. Crazy It makes much more sense to use one acct. I'll never make VIB alternating. Sometimes, my cluelessness amazes me. Facepalm

Quote from ShopNow :
I hope you get that about that much.

I don't know about you girls, but VS and BBW signature lotions tend to make my skin dry and I can't stand most of the scents. There is a free travel size signature BBW coupon out. I mostly gift VS & BBW products more than use them myself.
I haven't tried VS lotion, but BBW lotion doesn't moisturize my hands at all. I ended up throwing away what I had. It's useless to use it. I've almost quit shopping there. The fragrance oils are about the only thing I buy anymore. I used the love their mist sunscreen, but they don't sell it anymore. Anyone tried the one they have now?

Quote from leftie :
I've been using an unscented Neutrogena Norwegian formula hand cream and it absorbs so wonderfully! Love it. For my body, I'm testing a Gold Bond lotion. It is lightly scented, but ideally, I'd like an unscented one. I also apply lotions right after a shower to help it absorb better.
Does the Neutrogena hand cream have a lotion consistency or gel? The one I tried was almost like applying Vaseline. It took forever to rub it in. It's supposed to work well. I just don't have the patience for it, when I'm getting ready for bed. Embarrassment

The tbs line at BBW is ok. The signature line isn't.

It's a gel consistency. I only use maybe 2 or 3 small "dots" of it b/c that's all you need!
I let that absorb and if I feel my hands are still dry, then I'll use more.

I used too much once and that's the only time it didn't absorb very quickly.

My order is being shown as: "sent to warehouse."
I hope everything ships! Pray

like alvs said, the true blue spa products are pretty good. highlights are the hand cream, foot cream, and foot treatment/cream in a tub. these are the items i use regularly. i think i like their salt scrub too but never bought it. i did not like their foot scrub in a tube, but i heard their foot scrub in a tub is good (i've never tried). i have no idea if they've discontinued any of these products kuz i rarely shop there nowadays - i only buy soaps there now - i still have a stockpile of the foot cream to use up.

the neutrogena hand cream that you're describing is the unscented norwegian one. it does take a bit longer to rub out, but it does work well. they have another one that's got SPF30 and is also "norwegian". that one is more of a cream consistency and is not difficult like the unscented version - it applies much like any other hand cream. i'm not sure if it's as good, but it's definitely not bad, plus SPF is always good.

Ladies, my monthly VS statement just closed, but instead of receiving a $10 reward, my points have just carried over. Does this happen if you have a credit instead of a balance? Anyone ever had this happen?
