i ended up getting the addictive laugh out loud i think it was the choice for which i haven't tried all or the most number of scents.
Quote from longislandgirl :
All I remember is I clicked the second option after a quick glance at all of those laugh out loud
i apparently have different scent preferences than you gals! laugh out loud i checked my order and i got the 'casual', prob bc of amazing grace and mj daisy. i liked playful for the acqua di gioia, and the first option for the issey and chloe. none of the addictive seemed up my alley since i like the lighter scents.

they like to be different it seems. most of the other area stores are stacking them! no need to be sad.

Maybe, I used too much. Dontknow It's too bad I ended up throwing it away, or I could have tried using less. I just didn't like the consistency at all.

Thanks for the TBS recommendations. I'm going to try the new mist sunscreen for sure. I'm still looking for the perfect hand cream & I need a good foot scrub too. I'll check those out the next time I'm at the store.

The hand cream I had was the unscented one. Maybe, I'll try the other one that has a cream consistency. Even if it doesn't work quite as good, I may actually use it. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how good a product is, if you won't use it.

I'm sorry you missed out. hug My order still says sent to warehouse, so it may not ship. The only problem with having 2 accounts is I've been using them equally. It just occurred to me that I'd never make VIB that way. Yeah, sometimes it takes me awhile to "get a clue". Facepalm

Thanks. Smilie I finally found a way to see them up close, but it wasn't as efficient as your way. I'll try that next time.
...
i know - i am a hand cream fiend too. ones i have liked are:
TBS paraffin hand lotion "look ma, new hands" [bathandbodyworks.com] - i like the light lemony fresh scent of this - i had it in the blue container but it looks like it's still the same. dbf used my tube up, grrrrrr.
C&E gardeners hand therapy [crabtree-evelyn.com] (rosemary-minty scent)
l'occitane shea butter hand cream [sephora.com] - scent: shea butter (very moisturizing! this is what i keep in my handbag)
neutrogena norwegian hand cream fragrance free [drugstore.com] - this is the really thick weird consistency one you hate - i have it at work and honestly don't use it very much, but when my hands feel super dry, i use it and find i don't really have to reapply for the rest of the day. (it looks like there is a scented version - i think that one may have the same consistency also.)

looks like there is a different norwegian hand cream [drugstore.com] that's got a lighter texture - maybe that one is worth a shot? i've never tried it.

looks like they no longer make my SPF30 hand cream. oh well.

i wonder if you can call sephora and ask for the accts to be merged, if you think you are anywhere close to making vib. if it's under 2 different names they may not be able to do it tho. i have no idea. anyone else know?

Quote from ayoungpretender :
I feel your frustration. I wish I had some suggestions, but I mostly wear bikini, not tankini tops. I wonder if a style like this [victoriassecret.com] would work. Stuff that shape in bikinis works for me, but those all tie at the back so there's good support.

I don't think I replied to this. Sorry Embarrassment I have tried 4 tankinis in that style. 2 of them fit okay. I kept those. The other 2 were so big there was no support. The area underneath the cup didn't fit flush with my body. It just kind of hung on me. I've had the same problem with the other styles. Some fit & some didn't, even though they were the same size.

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.
Bought the hand cream today. Another thing I *needed* from this thread. Another reason I put myself on hiatus before laugh out loud

I hope it's nothing serious. hug



Thanks
I'm sure I am fine, I don't feel bad - it's just peculiar. I always have an appetite laugh out loud Hence the need for a diet Wink

How are you doing? Use all your SRC's lady?

Thanks for the recommendations. I have a BBW GC I could use to get the sunscreen mist & hand cream. The L'occitance cream sounds good too. I'll try that the next time I place an order at Sephora. Do you like the scent of the C&E hand cream? I like the C&E products I've tried.

I'll probably keep both accts. just to avoid the hassle. Blush I'm definitely going to choose an account & stick with it from now on. The birthday gift doesn't look that great to me. I can't decide, if it's even worth placing an order in my account.

do you have a sephora nearby? you can pick up your bday gift if you do. that's usually what i do.

i like the scent of the c&e hand cream also (i like minty scents tho). i'm picky about scents and hate really heavy lingering scents. i once tried the bbw aromatherapy lavender vanilla or jasmine vanilla in store, and felt like puking with a headache the rest of the day. Frown it was bad for me bc it was very strong - i have now learned that i can't handle something in the aromatherapy --vanilla scents. the lavender chamomile and the mint one and orange one are fine for me. i also did not like the TBS shea cashmere hand creams - there was something similar in it that was a lasting strong scent that my nose didn't like. i started to get a headache with that one too... but that could just be me. i'm weirdly sensitive like that.

Not having an appetite could be a good thing. That would definitely make dieting much easier. Stick Out Tongue

I have 1 SRC left. I'm procrastinating on placing an order. The PINK bottle was rumored to be available today, so I saved it for that. Apparently that's not the case, & I don't want to stay up until midnight. There's 2 more tankinis I want to try, so I'll probably end up placing an order with no codes. EEK! I hate doing that. shake head I guess I'll use a $10 off $50 to help with the shipping. After this, I hope I'm finished shopping at VS for awhile.

Some have reported that it is in stores today, a day early, and were able to get it.

The only Sephora I have close is in JCP. There's one by our place in Miami though. We're thinking of going down there this weekend. If we do, I could stop by that one. Do I need a BI card? I don't think I ever got one.

I like lights scents that quickly fade too. So far, I haven't found a hand cream I love. The search continues.... laugh out loud

use a FS on 100 code instead! it will be better for returns. there's gotta be one somewhere.

you might be able to get it in sephora at jcp. in either store, show them your id and give them your email address - they can look it up from there. (or just give them email - i'm not sure if they check ur ID actually. i don't remember.)

Good idea to use FS w/ $100 instead. I hope I can find a code. bounce The tankinis will be $4 under $100. Anyone have suggestions for something cheap to add to the order?

Thanks for the Sephora help. Maybe, I'll send my DH to JCP to try first. That would be more convenient. I can send my ID with him just in case.

another option would be to use that shipbras code that is still active and to order a cheap vsx bra that works with the $10 code. you can always send it back with your free return label.

else, there might be some FS on 100 codes in the other thread. or i often find them in my catalogs.

i packed up another box for returns with my free return label. it's really full! Facepalm i must stop... i have 1 package arriving today and i vow to stop shopping after this!
