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. 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".
Thanks. 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.
...
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?
I don't think I replied to this. Sorry 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.
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.
I hope it's nothing serious.
Thanks
How are you doing? Use all your SRC's lady?
oh well, more online orders for me then
i know - i am a hand cream fiend too. ones i have liked are:

I'll probably keep both accts. just to avoid the hassle. 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.

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. 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.

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. I hate doing that. 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.

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

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.)
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.

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

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! i must stop... i have 1 package arriving today and i vow to stop shopping after this!
