you lived in fiji?? OMG that is really really cool! how did that happen?

it is one of the few places where a lot of resorts are actually on their own private island. it is also where tom hanks' castaway was filmed (there is now a castaway resort that is on a private island - i assume it is the island where it was filmed). there are over 300 islands that make up fiji - many of them are so small only 1 or 2 resorts will fit anyway. the groupon is actually for a resort on a private island. i guess it's one of the things going for fiji - the privacy. in fact, i think i'm all for it except for those icky scary spiders. i've read that they will spray/etc at all the fancier resorts so you shouldn't have problems, but still...

i hadn't really considered the carribean, bc to me that's a vacation not a honeymoon. idk, it's so close - i want to go somewhere faaaar bc i'm not sure i'll ever take the time off to do that again.

bali is a popular spot for people who want culture mixed in with beaches/etc. i didn't know that until i started googling and reading in travel forums. i would love to go to bali someday. i'm still considering bali and maybe a few days on a thai white sand beach. Dontknow it's so hard - i want to go everywhere! laugh out loud
laugh out loud My parents lived in Fuji and I was like between 1-3 while I was there. My dad was teaching in Fuji. I wish I had more pictures. I was told that I ruined them all by pulling out multiple rolls of film -_-

You should go all out for your honeymoon if that's what you want. it's your honeymoon, enjoy it! You seem to really want to be in the South Pacific area, so I'm sure with more searching, you'll find your perfect place! Maybe go to two countries while you're there! But I understand how difficult it must be to drop so much money at once though!

The robe will definitely be online. In the details of current tote, it states not to be combined with other tote/robe offers. I did not realize the tote is reversible. I have to go...nuSO is upset I am on my phone.

Thanks for inputs Smilie
It would be mostly college girls - my cousins and nieces and DH's cousins as well. So I think it will work. As long as it comes in good packaging -gift like I am good for gifting it Smilie

ETA: I will come to you when I plan to buy it for myself. Any tricks to make deal sweeter on elf other than one code they allow to use per order?

I am just happy that boxed tees are IN Teehee
i like the beauty books [target.com] that are $5 - those are sometimes on sale for $3 at target (actually i've only seen this once) but i think they're a great gift for $5. the shadows are pretty good actually. it's a bit bulky, but you get a good number of shadows and they're decent quality.

i would skip the nail polishes - i have a bunch and while it's a great way to expand your shade collection at low cost, they're not very good polishes - thin and take a lot of layers to get opaque coverage.

in general the studio products are good, the regular are not as much. highlights are - the blushes (pretty good color - not as fine as high end ones but still good enough imo), the gel liner [target.com] (this stuff is REALLY good - the ONLY problem i have is the packaging bc the product dries out within a year, but it's great while it lasts! i have 3 of them that i use regularly), the blush/bronzer duo [target.com] (dupe of orgasm/laguna - not as good but still!). these are all things that i own - i haven't used my studio blushes for a long time now, but i do use the gel liner.

it depends on whether you'll be buying a lot - the elf site shipping cost is like $9 or something, so if you're ordering a lot it's worth it to use a 50% code and then pay for shipping. how much time do you have to deal shop? this is fun, shopping for others. Big Grin

nod the timing is perfect to go to the southern hemisphere for a beach vacay - it's not summer there yet (summers get really rainy and hot and humid - dbf will likely HATE that) but since it's a tropical island it'll be warm with warm waters. if i go to fiji i'll probably stop over in sydney or something - never been!

laugh out loud if they do that i will have to place yet ANOTHER order.

i ordered robe (needed to use the other bday code they sent me anyway) and emailed asking if i could get the tote added to my order yesterday. hopefully i can - i actually like that tote! anything that's not pink i end up liking... Crazy

noticed they have another new bra, the knockout. wireless pushup - looks like they brought back that bendy flexible "wire" they used to have in some of their bras! i loved that thing! ordered 1 to try tho i prob should have just tried it on in store.

there's actually a deal on groupon for a fiji resort that looks pretty nice. but i'm being weird and keep thinking "this is my once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon - i should go where i want, stay where i want, not wherever is cheapest!" HAH. we can afford it - we just don't really want to bc we're both pretty cheap. it's hard to get over the cheap bug!
You should also check out luxurylink, that's where I booked my honeymoon and I got a really good deal. Although, make sure that you have someone refer you so that you get the $100 off coupon to use, to offset their $50 fee for booking through them. Also make sure that you price compare, I got a good deal but I have read that some of their packages aren't cheaper than priceline or other sites like that.

nuSO and I just had our first argument, and now he is on his way to my home. It is not going to be a good day for either of us. Too upset to detail it now. More to come...

nod Which drives me nuts because with the extra money he spends I could've used a coupon/code and bought something for me. nod

Quote from kurips :
I didn't shop there much either. They just magically gave out elite status at some point. The fs is what is making me shop more : lol:
I like magic. Maybe one day I'll get FS too! I'd buy a lot more stuff there with it. laugh out loud

Quote from kurips :
pink or chartreuse? [express.com]
Pink! Girly I received the same shipping code as you. Not looking good for a better one.

Quote from longislandgirl :
Wave makeup junkies, How is the quality of elf make up? I was browsing thru site and stuffs there is pretty cheap. Is it any good? I am planning to buy few things for my own and some other stuffs for gifting.
any advise pretty: please:
I bought an eyeshadow pan with 100 colors when it was like $2 at Target. I'm not a fan either. In fact my DD is getting shadow to play with. Wink

DH and I paid cash for wedding/honeymoon I got over being cheap quick! laugh out loud But I see where you are coming from. Maybe pinch a few more pennies and save up so you can go where you really want to go.

Quote from annicus :
my DBF/DF needed jeans but i had to order them for him. i guess i can just be on the lookout when i'm doing my own shopping. but for me, jeans are difficult - it's easier to buy him a shirt. jeans need to fit a particular way.
That's why he won't let me buy them. But he buys the same Levis all the time for work so I don't get it. shake head

I got my bebe order. I love this dress, BUT only the bottom half is lined EEK!. I should have read the description. It's so cute. I almost want to find something to wear under the top part instead of returning it.
