I've never been to Melting Pot...not even sure if there is one around me. It sounds delish! Have fun!!! bounce
We had our first date at The Melting Pot, but we were full and did not have the Chocolate Fondue. (First time I have ever been there and not had dessert!!!!) So we went just for salad (which is amazing) and dessert. I have had most of the different Chocolate Fondues, but this time had the Bananas Foster. It was heavenly. nuSO was laughing at me...said it looked like something else was going on with me. *winkwink* #myfavoriterestaurantever

I use Alterna. But it comes out whites so you really need to comb it through. I got it at Sephora.
Quote from leftie :
ICEY (and someone else?) - I came across this BeautyLish article [beautylish.com] about dry shampoos (specific for brunettes!).
Thank you both. I read the article and decided to try the Oscar Blandi Invisible. I will be using it later today. *cross your fingers...I do not feel like washing my hair* #lazy

my hair from the back, after sleeping on it! i can't seem to get the curls to start any higher tho, with any curling device.
Very cute!

Quote from leftie :
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.
That is cute!

Wowzers, the gwp went fast! Last year it lasted til Saturday, didn't it?
What GWP? The makeup bags? They are huge...even the smallest one. I would only use them for travel.

Here is my review for the Boscia Black Mask - IT SUCKS! laugh out loud
Totally not worth the price. I followed the directions to a "T." I washed my face first to make sure it was clean, then applied a thin layer, waited, peeled. The mask removed NOTHING. By comparison, the Biore strips do a better job!

I may give it one more go. What I would do differently is take a hot shower first to prep my pores (make sure they really open up) and then try the mask again. *Maybe* that will actually allow the mask to pull off some gunk/blackheads?

Diorshow is one of my favorites, I like the one Alvs just posted about and black out.
nod I love DiorShow BlackOut (in waterproof)! It's my Holy Grail mascara.

I just checked the tank. You probably couldn't wear a dark color bra under it, but it wouldn't be see through with lighter colors. If I were going to wear it alone, I'd wear a nude or white bra. You could barely see my skin under it, but I stretched it tight to make it thin & get the worse case scenario.

Thanks for the mascara info.
Thanks for checking it for me. Seems like every white tank I own you can see my skin and white bra through them and I want one you can't. I'm holding off buying anything until the SAS starts then I'm going crazy! Whee

I recently started using the Biore pore strips and the Biore steam cleanser and I have to say I am loving the combo of both. I haven't had to use the strips in three weeks now.

Mine too! I love how black it is. Girly


I thought Memorial Day weekend would bring better sales, so far nothing I want to buy. I may take a trip to Express today to return these jeans and pop in NY&CO [nyandcompany.com] they are having 70% off Redlines. Also FREE shipping on ANY online purchase (no minimum) now through Monday. Use code 1235. bounce

Did VS wipe out anyone else's wishlist?

That sucks! I'm sorry to hear that! Man! I wish I tried mine sooner. There were such rave reviews about it on Sephora! I usually use the Biore pore strips right out of the shower, so I guess I need to with this. The Biore pore strips unclog, but then my pores get clogged up in that same day again. So I've given up on unclogging them because it doesn't seem possible!

Quote from GoHeels :
I have curvy hips, so they never looked great on me either. I haven't tried them in years, so I don't know if they've changed. I think I've just seen trends come & go, until I'm no longer interested in buying trendy clothes. That shows how old I am. Embarrassment I did buy trendy clothes when I was younger, so I totally understand why other people buy them. Maybe, I'm just too cheap to invest in trendy clothes now. Stick Out Tongue
That's not true! laugh out loud I don't buy into trends myself! Except for that grey blazer shake head Everything I have I imagine being able to wear them many many years down the road! nod

I just tried to place my Express order, but it's charging me shipping now. Frown I thought it was always FS with a $150 order. That's what I get for procrastinating. Sadwalk Do you think they'll have a similar deal in the near future? I really don't want to pay shipping.


Quote from ayoungpretender :
I tried out the Nubra today and I will definitely get good use out of it, but I'm not as impressed as I hoped I would be. It still seems really small for an E cup. I would say it only covers about 1/3 to 2/5 of the surface area of each breast. It's better than the first one I got and solves the major problem of the edges showing through. I think I'm going to sew some loops on the cheap one so I can attach a halter strap, which would make it pretty awesome. In general, these kind of bras are really great at stabilizing against side-to-side motion, but still poor at giving any lift. I've found that placing the cups toward the outside and angling them with the clasps downward gives an acceptable amount of lift when you pull it together. I also tend to not notice how much it's working until I take it off. I'm so picky with the fit and support of normal bras that I have a hard time accepting the limitations of this style.
Thanks for the review. I wish we could find a deal on them. I have a formal dress that I'll have to have something like this for. The low-back bra probably won't work. I'm sure no other bra will. None of the VS dresses I ordered work for me, so I no longer need one for those. Boo VS! I'm totally bummed about them not working. They were so pretty.

I'll try it on with a white bra, before SAS to see if it shows. My skin would probably show less than most, because it's about as white as the tank in the areas that never get sun. laugh out loud

i have always experienced this about express shipping. i never understood how some people claimed to get FS on 150 when i never could. Dontknow i guess express doesn't like us...

speaking of express, my latest order just showed up on my points account! without any of the ones prior showing up... Sadwalk that means there are 7 orders missing. (yes, i've been placing lots of orders. Shutup) i just called them and i think i need to manually tell them to add them. i should totally be a-list already! Annoyed i now have to wait till tuesday to get those points added. i don't understand how the points can NOT show up when i'm placing orders online... i mean, i'm only using my 1 account... i don't think it should be that difficult. shake head

That's too bad. It was showing FS yesterday. I guess I'll pass. I'm not going to pay shipping on an almost $300 purchase. If I'm buying one thing, I can see it. There should be a price point where they offer FS though. Oh well, I'm off to look somewhere else for dresses. Biker

fwiw, they had FS on 125 on the 16th, and then again on 23-25. (these are the dates my orders were from) i'm hoping it'll come around again. it seems like it's once a week or so. Pray i would wait to place the order tho. i was trying to get orders in last night before 12 est bc i was expecting the fs to go away, but i didn't get in in time.

It's weird for me. They had it for everyone yesterday.

Somedays they offer it to certain people. I guess they go off ip addresses.

I didn't realize FS for the past couple days was a special. I thought it was always FS with $150 & occasionally FS with $125. Doh If I'd known FS was a promo, I would have placed the order yesterday. My bad. Do they usually have a sale, FS, & offer the same tier they have now altogether? I was getting 30% off + $45 off with the tier + FS yesterday. It was a really good deal. Do you think I'll be able to do that well later? I should have paid more attention. I thought I had through the weekend to get that deal.

I sometimes see a banner for free shipping on $125 everyday shipping. Sometimes I don't. It's random laugh out loud. Yesterday's promo was for everyone though. It lasted 2-3 days. It doesn't matter to me anymore since I'm premier.
