bare essentals sale! use e bates for 4% back, free ship with $50, they have a new "club" FAB sign up to get freebies?! I signed up we shall see, you get a $10 reward after so much spent.
also use promo NOSHINE for $40+ purchase for a moiturizer or something? also spend $65 use BUFFERING for mini refillable minerail viel brush. I purchased $50 to get free shipping. I am thinking Christmas presents?

i just used it successfully!! you're right, the stand thing totally has to face out - i discovered that when i did my first strand just now, and used that technique for the rest of the time and it worked!

i think what also helped this time was switching hands - bc the glove that came with the remington is only right handed, i was trying to use my right hand to wrap my left hair strands - it didn't work out so well. when i switched, it all fell into place. Smilie i actually think it takes me a similar amount of time with herstyler and this one. i still think the fat wand is more slippery and my hair was falling out if it more (the thinned out layers would slip out). i'll probably sleep in it and see how the curls hold up - the ultimate test. Coverlaugh i only put a tiny bit of fekkai glossing cream and sprayed matrix thermal protection mist before i blow-dried my hair, but it doesn't seem to be falling out. i like how soft my curls are this time. Smilie there is hope yet! too bad every time i curl my hair i think 'why is my head so big??' because the volume makes my head look huge.
Love the hair!

laugh out loud I just forced the right hand glove to be my left hand glove. Except, I realized I can't really do my hair with the glove on. I get confused so I took it off and got mini-burned twice shake head
It looks good the day after. Mine is still holding whatever curl was left from yesterday and it looks better today than yesterday. Maybe it was because I had to comb my hair for the rollers. I usually never comb my hair and keep it piecey because I like that look more. So it's looking a lot more piecey today Smilie

I like how your curls start lower. Mine usually starts really high, which sometimes I don't like too much. Usually when I get all the hair into the wand, I push the wand higher up to my hair, where I want the curls to start. Maybe that might help?

do you have thin hair too? i find thin long hair to look the best with curls! i'm always envious of girls who have thin hair (and less hair) - curls always look so good on them.
Oh no, my hair is really thick! I shouldn't complain though b/c at least it is low to no maintenance required. I literally just wash and go and things fall into place. Big Grin

I have this maxi dress [target.com] from TarJay. laugh out loud The fabric is a bit thicker though...so I'm not sure how smart it will be to wear on a hot/humid day.

Okay azn, you're probably right. You girls are so bad for my bank account. Bonk

Quote from kurips :
dermstore $10 secret sale. [dermstore.com] they have the skindinavia makeup finishing spray.
Thanks, I ordered the Skindinavia spray. I had been using my UD spray sparingly to make it last. I'm excited to try this one & hope I like it as good. I really like $10 + a free gift. I placed a couple orders to get 2 free gifts. Evillaugh Even if we get a cheap body spray that we would never use for free, we still got a good deal on the finishing spray.

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
Not sure if anyone posted, but I thought I would share with you ladies:

TheBalm.com has their Shady Lady palettes buy 1 get two free starting at midnight with free shipping. There is also a free eyeshadow if you spend $50. All 3 palettes for $39.50 shipped is a smokin deal IMHO. Just thought I would share : )
Thanks

Quote from nerdgirl :
ok, that pushed me over the edge and i ordered. use code: REBATES10OFF2DAY for 10% off (and go from mrr for 10% cb).
Thanks for the code. I already placed my orders though. I should have waited. Doh

Quote from nerdgirl :
i haven't gotten proper curls from it yet bc i still can't figure out how to use it. admittedly, i haven't tried again after the first failed attempt. i think my problem is that it's too tapered so my hair really does slide off of it rather than wrap around it. the herstyler feels just as slippery, but for some reason my hair will stay around that. maybe the fat wand is too fat for my hair...? oh, my hair length is 24" also, at the longest! but the sides are shorter which may be what you saw when you said my hair looked so short! she left length in the back but trimmed a lot on the sides.
You girls are tempting me to measure my hair & I don't even care how long it is. laugh out loud I already know it's too long, w/o measuring it. I'll try to remember to take a pic the next time I curl it. It appears I like more curl than you all do though.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
I'm excited. I bought one of my becca tops on 6pm for $20! I had the matching cover up with this suit too so I hated to toss it!
Nice deal. woot

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Does matching swimsuits online confuse anyone else or is it just me?
I've had to return a few tops & bottoms, because the solid color & print didn't match. It doesn't help that VS' swatches are rarely accurate.

Quote from kurips :
:woot : received my express return confirmations!
I know I can return Express online purchases to the store. Do they process the refund in store or ship it to the warehouse for a refund like VS does?

Quote from leftie :
//edited to add//
Not sure if this has been posted already. I got a VS CC email about my credit line. And in it, it says: "The famous Semi-Annual Sale begins May 30th, but don't forget Angel cardholders receive early access starting May 29th!"
Thanks for the info. woot I hope they have the bras I want on sale.

Quote from nerdgirl :
np - happy to help! i need to try on the S at home and with a bra (i tried the xs without kuz i didn't have a strapless when i tried it on in store) in other colors to see if i can handle the looser look. but i think i would go with the XS bc while it's tighter, it's very stretchy.

oh, i woke up with curls in my hair still! they're looser and i haven't really looked at myself yet (i tied it up when getting ready) - will take a pic later if i remember.
Should I order a small or medium in that dress? I've been procrastinating on placing an order, while I decide on the metallic nude dress. I think I'll go ahead & order it.

Apparently, I didn't copy your post with the picture of your hair. It's looks beautiful. Girly It's great that it's still pretty after sleeping on it. Mine won't usually hold curl overnight.

I did the same thing. I swear I ordered the matching ones too. They didn't when I received them laugh out loud.

That's so annoying. Annoyed If VS represented their products more accurately online, they wouldn't have so many returns.

That's definitely a better return policy.

I don't remember. I remember she was banned at Lancome, but I don't remember anything about EL. I wonder where she is, btw. I hope everything is going great for her.
