Quote from ayoungpretender :
Thank you for your input! I was actually considering Coastal Scents too. I really want more colors, I think I'd get really bored with a nude palette. I like bold color, but have been kind of bad with makeup most of my life. Using cream or gel eyeliners has made me much more attentive to how I apply makeup. I was never even able to apply liquid eyeliner before, but I can easily now. I think it's time I've stepped up my game a little. I've always been kind of artistic in other respects.

I also realized I wrote pallet instead of palette. I'm around pallets all day at work and my brain just isn't functioning at full capacity.
I got one of the coastal scents palletes a while back, although I got it from Ebay so maybe it wasn't the exact same one (same colors and layout though.) It was soooo chalky, I hated it so much. No color payoff at all on most of the colors. I would have been much much better off just getting a bunch of wet and wild eyeshadows (which are actually pretty pigmented these days)

Thanks! I've ordered a few but I'm still looking. Swimsuits and bras are harder now that they're big. I'll try this one!

I don't mind long flights either. I just eat and sleep after every meal laugh out loud they serve like 3 meals including snacks and flight makes me sleepy. When not sleeping I catch up on movies I missed Big Grin Inflight entertainment and options are REALLY good in long flights.
I love watching a ton of movies (the selection was really current too!). When I traveled with my big bro, we got very competitive with the the 1-on-1 games. Big Grin

I don't know of any codes, ATM. (The only one I could find is 1374 for $15 off $30 or $30 off $75) If you don't mind returning in store, you could always order up to $150 to get free ship... but that can be a hassle.

woot Congratulations to your daughter!!! What a milestone!!! woot

I got that too. I was hoping it would be similar to the draped halter they had in past years that was really awesome. I was half right. It is similar, but skimpier and the band seems a little looser. I got a M in grey, and wish I could exchange it for a L and alter the band, but it's no longer available.

Thank you for your opinion. I appreciate the help with trying to decide what to get. I might just get a crappy palette and buy nice versions of the colors I like best or use the most. I'm not picky at all at this point, so for just messing around this seems like the best plan.

also the recent skechers fitness shoes deal (~$20 each) i received yesterday are shape-ups and tone-ups too!

**REVIEWS**
  • Metallic Tweed Jacket [victoriassecret.com] (Size 2) - First, an issue with sizing. While the 2 fit, the shoulder/elbow area was too constricting. If I bend my arms, it's not comfortable. If I re-order this, I'll size up. I got this for the faux-Chanel tweed jacket look. I really like the zipper detailing on the pockets of the jacket and also (not shown) on the sleeves. I'm not completely sold on the "sparkly-ness" of it all though. The silver threading is really prominent and I was hoping for more of a subtle glint.
  • Shiny Blazer [victoriassecret.com] (Size 2) - Thumbsup Got both colors of this. LOVE heart The fit is awesome and I love blazers in this cut and style. This looks great with the sleeves cuffed to about 3/4. I will have to iron it since it's super wrinkled right now, but I am very pleased with this purchase. The price is great, considering what I've seen in stores (H&M and Zara). I also like that there is no venting in the back - some jacket vents flare out in an unflattering way.
