For the Double Wear foundation, is it better to go a little lighter or a little darker? Intensity 1.0 appears to be a little light with limited lighting. (I should be able to see better tomorrow.) 2.0 will probably be a little dark. Should I exchange it anyway?

I'm on the subway like 90% of the time I go out since NYC parking is a nightmare.:lo l: I miss cars.

I ordered the Skindanavia spray too. I've been using the small bottle of UD spray. I do wish they had the oily skin version on sale too but I had to buy it anyway. It's supposed to be the same spray as the regular UD one so I'm sure it will help some. Whenever I go out with my makeup on I find I don't have to blot as often if I use the spray to set it. I almost wish I had dry skin.:lol :

I wish the Estee Lauder Double Wear had worked for me but the coverage wasn't enough and the shade selection wasn't perfect for me either.
Ah, that definitely changes things. How do you even afford to shop living in NYC? Stick Out Tongue Riding in a taxi there is terrifying. I can't imagine trying to drive. EEK!

I love my small bottle of UD spray. I take it everywhere, then refill it with the full size bottles when necessary. That's much better than toting the full size bottle around. Plus, I like the more compact size for spraying.

This is my first time trying Double Wear. My niece liberating me from my other bottle. shake head I hope it works for me. I definitely need foundation that works in humid weather.

I live in Jersey City but I still can't really afford to shop.laugh out loud Anytime I go out I just hop on the train and I'm in NY in 4 minutes. I used to take a cab around NY all the time and then I realized that being in the cab make me tense because of their crazy driving and the backed up traffic. Now I'm all about the walking and the subway but it makes it even harder to keep my makeup in place when it is warm.

It would all be so much easier if we didn't know how nice makeup could make us look.laugh out loud Now that we know we can't possibly give it up!

I don't know if I would go lighter or darker for the foundation. At the counter they tried both Shell Beige and Bronze on me. I probably should have gone to another counter somewhere else to see if there was a match for me that the girl just didn't think of but since it didn't cover my acne scars that well I didn't bother. I had a good amount in samples and I mixed it with other foundations and it did manage to stop my skin from getting so oily. If you have nice skin and you're just fighting humidity it will probably be really nice.

I talk too much. Every time I reply it ends up being paragraphs.Embarrassment

I take a sweater every where I go too. I hate being cold in a restaurant or theater. Another problem with indoor temps. in FL is many of the elderly are hotter natured. I used to tell the pastor to make sure everyone kept the water off or it was going to snow in church. That was my not so subtle way of telling him it was way too cold in there. They ended up putting some small blankets on the back pew thanks to my suggestion. laugh out loud I find I have the same problem everywhere though, so I never leave without a sweater here or on vacation.
I need to do that so I wont annoy dh. I'm so cold natured!

I'd just ask if you're pretty sure. She'll be happy you noticed if she got new boobies!

Some people lie about them, but I think thats silly. Nothing to be ashamed over. It wouldn't bother me. I'd love it. I can not speak for everyone.

hmmmm. i'm going to have to take it back - they are not new! apparently they were just covered up last time i saw her. i went through some older photos of her on fb and saw them in some of them! i guess last time she must have worn a shirt with more coverage... today she had a low cut tank on and every time she asked me to look down (when doing my eye makeup) i was staring at them. laugh out loud

Scratchchin now i'm glad i didn't say anything! laugh out loud but i still wonder if it's real... either way they look fabulous!

Start talking about that you're thinking of getting yours done and see if she says anything.

only one gc can be used on an order??? i'd think i can do more with a cs rep? and is it ok if i just place the order now then give the rep the order # later to add gc's?

nvm, i think i can use more than 1.
The only time I have heard of an issue with using multiple GCs online is when the SRCs are active, but it should still work at those times. If you ever input your GC and hit Apply and nothing happens, go back to your Shopping Bag and hit Return to checkout. Your GC will show as applied. It is a glitch.
