Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

Thanks for the tip about the samples!
So I'm thinking about getting the naked or naked 2 from sephora, I'v been hearing about them for so long. I know you ladies have opinions, which is better? Especially if I already have the stila's In the Light palette.
no one seemed to answer your question - i hope this isn't too late.

are you more warm or cool toned, or do you like warmer or cooler eyeshadows? simply put, naked 1 is warmer while naked 2 is cooler.

that said, they are both pretty - i think the majority of people were unimpressed by naked 2, but i honestly think that may be because they already had naked 1. it would take a phenomenal group of eyeshadows to make the 2nd as good as the 1st. naked 2 didn't do that, especially since it included 1 dupe (silly UD).

i just bought naked 2 and am still debating if i should keep it. i've had naked 1 for a year and a half, and i honestly don't use it that much, bc it's out of reach so i forget i have it. i love that naked 2 has a matte black (soooo crucial in creating a smokey eye) but naked 1 has some really nice colors that pair well. naked 1 is overall more shimmery than naked 2 (but both have matte and shimmer shades).
Quote from GoHeels :
I can't tell what perfumes are in the 6scents sets. Any opinions on which one is better? I only wear 2 perfumes, but the samples are great for our guest bathroom. I'd prefer to get the one my guests would be most likely to use.
...
won't help you this time, but i was able to click 'quick info' and find out what scents were in each of the sets. i actually found that i would have liked all except the addictive one - there were scents in each that i really liked. in fact i don't even remember which one i ended up getting. laugh out loud

dbf is so funny. he wanted to order some jeans from macy's, and i had to place the order for him, kuz he can't figure out how to do online shopping. Confused LMAO

Quote from GoHeels :
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
Aw! I was just about to order! Sadwalk
And it makes more sense to have 2 accounts if you don't shop at sephora too much. You can have 2 bday gifts per year. Smilie

he's a nerd, but he is anti-shopping. i have to buy stuff for him kuz he won't do it! i think the only time i can get him to actually look at clothes/try stuff on is when we are waiting for ppl and killing time at a mall or something.

Quote from annicus :
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
Yes, I couldn't use the 10% off twice in a calendar year online. I haven't tried it in stores before since it was more convenient for me to do it online. nod BUT! I don't know if it's like some of their other promotions that they tie to your account anyway, like you've already used it and can't use it anymore. Ex: Birthday gift, can't get it once online and once in store.

Quote from tarribear :
Looks like you are a happy camper.
I was prepared to stomach the $6 a bottle for the Love Spell and that's what it was. But overall, yes, happy. I can use this money towards stuff I actually want!!

I totally missed this until anni quoted it. I have to agree with what she said. I really liked Naked better than Naked 2. I really like the packaging for Naked and it really displayed the
shadows a lot better.

Update on my car breaking down...

It would only take $250 to fix the current issues; however, there is a bigger problem that is causing the smaller issues. It would cost so much to fix that my mechanic would not even tell me the price. So Baby Bubba is parked outside, but she is being retired. I am so sad. She is my first car. I definitely rode her until the wheels fell off. I am in shock because I bought a new car. I was not expecting it to happen so fast.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Courtney Upshaw. He plays defense.
All right. My mother called to talk about the draft. I told her that I am not interested. She said that the Ravens are definitely going to re-sign Ray Rice, but my mother is a fake football fan and does not realize that it is a business. Just because she (and the fans) love a player does not mean the team will keep them. Oy!

Quote from annicus :
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.
I like the True Blue Spa line also, and I have not been a BBW shopper since HS. (They kept discontinuing my favorite scents.) The Wyndham in Nassau has TBS in their bathrooms. Two different soap bars, the conditioner, shampoo, and body lotion. And they were not stingy about replacing them as some hotels. So I took a lot home. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I have actually gotten the TBS 60-Second Manicure Hand (Sugar) Scrub. I use it before I do my manicures at home. I highly recommend it.

Sidenote: I just realized it is the last day for SRCs. I guess I am headed to the mall today.
