Nice deal! High Five The 2nd dress caught my eye earlier. That link also brought up a dress I may try. http://www.express.com/color-bloc...crumb=true Do you think I have a good chance of getting a deal as good as 30% off + the current best tier code + FS, if I wait?



I'm glad to see I'm not completely crazy. laugh out loud I thought someone posted there was always FS with $150.
I'd say pay for the $8 shipping. Since you have a lot of things in your bag, it makes it worth it. Just think of it as a convenience fee. 30% off + tier is pretty good IMO.

Happy Memorial Day weekend, ladies! Wave

And just a reminder, the Pink bra perks rewards expire on 5/31. Although I think most of yall aren't procrastinators like me and most likely have used them already. Smilie

*i cinched blue dress with belt since it looked too straight on me without one
*yes there is some bunching on the magenta dress sinceit isn't shaped, i guess because it's a t-shirt dress. i think the dress can be cuter using different belts.
*not-so-young woman in lilac legging

The lilac legging and the top look adorable on you! Girly The dresses are also cute on you!
Your hair is so shiny and glossy. I'm jealous.

Quote from Tizzylicious :
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.
I get a ton of blackheads on my nose, forehead, and cheek area. It's b/c my face produces a lot of oil. I'll have to look into the Biore Steam Cleanser next...I do like that the drugstore brands are (at times) better than the "higher end" products.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
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!
Yeah, it really sucks! I feel like I have a constant replenishing supply of blackheads/clogged pores. Sadwalk

Free hai crimper when you buy this flat iron. The $40 code probably works too. I haven't tested.
This iron is decent. I like it OK, it's not my favorite but I feel it was def worth the $39.99 with the free crimper Smilie Haven't tested the crimper...planning on listing on the bay...eventually.

Her earring made me wonder what sort of wonky ass collar that shirt had. Then I realized it was feathers laugh out loud

I always had decent skin with some clogged pores, but now that I had a baby my skin is TERRIBLE! I have to relearn a skincare regimen and how to do my makeup, because I never had to wear foundation heavily before. Boo!
Quote from GoHeels :
I wish I'd know that. Frown I don't know where I got the idea that they always offer FS on $150. Dontknow Crazy



I thought I had until Monday to place the Express order too. Bummer. Oh well, such is life.

Jeans are on my list of things to buy next. I don't have a pair that fits & I'm going to WDW next week. I'll need pants at night, because I'm usually cold in the evening. I'm glad you found some you love.
Have fun on your trip!!! SO jealous! My sis works there and I haven't been there in YEARS. Can't wait until the little one is old enough to enjoy herself!

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. :do h: 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.
yeah... it sucks that the FS is sporadic and not all the time. they should at least do FS on some large amount, like 150 or 200. i was annoyed when someone here said they got FS and i couldn't get it for the life of me.
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Do y'all think it is weird that I got an express mailer addressed to somebody else, but it's my address. The house was brand new when we bought it.
not weird - awesome! laugh out loud i would just take them and hope that it doesn't stop...

oh, and my gc's from old vs returns are here! Whee sas, baby! :r ock:
Whee mine too!!! tho i think i may have overdone it a little bit... Blush

Quote from GoHeels :
I don't think that 2nd dress bunches up too much. It looks really good on you. You're definitely not too old for those pants. :bo nk: That's a great, spring/summer color. Your hair looks so pretty. :gir ly: I love the way all of you have such shiny hair.
...
i think it may be in part bc we have black/dark hair. i find dark hair tends to be more shiny - when i had lighter hair it wasn't as shiny.

btw if you're trying out foundations, one that came as a rec from aya (where IS that girl??) is estee lauder double wear light. i went and got myself a 2nd bottle of it today (traded in my advanced night repair for that and double wear concealer) kuz it's that awesome. if you can find a color match (i think there are only 5) it is seriously an amazing foundation - covers well and stays put ALL DAY without budging, even through sweating!

oh, i haven't finished mine yet at all. but it's really good! the few times i've worn it out on a hot sunny day, i've come home 12 hrs later to find that my face is still in tact and my forehead isn't even shiny. i'm actually pretty amazed.

i have it in 3 -- 2 is a little light on me and i don't find 3 to be *too* dark. it may be a tad darker than my skin right now (i'm not sure) but i don't find it to look unnatural or anything, and i plan on tanning this summer.
