gh - i actually received the sculpted bangles today in my tick tock order. they are too big on my wrists. and i realized i don't like the idea of multiple metallic arm accessory that would make sounds as i move. i personally wouldn't like the hammered either because of that.

i tried this [express.com] in the store and it is small enough for me. it's kinda like my oval ones, but not as oval.

You're no fun. Stick Out Tongue I agree with nerdi. You need stack-able, black shelves for you cosmetics. What you already have looks really nice.
I like the acrylic drawers because you can see into the drawers even when they are closed. Decisions, decisions...

Quote from GoHeels :
Leaving a few compartments open for taller items would look nice.
That is what I think. Now to figure out what to put in those compartments.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Icey- I love the jewelry organizer for makeup!

I want to see some mirror pics of you!
The one I posted the picture of??? It is so pricey.

Mirror pics? I do not know. I am a fatty!

Quote from azn1x6flame :
Nice organization drawers with the red. Hm...why not go for the one you showed us of the plastic ones? That looks nice. I know K showed us something really nice of how she puts her makeup in.

I'd go for anything that makes it easy to see things and grab on the go without much fumbling, I think that's my problem with my collection, I can't see everything at once so I just go for what I can see!
That is two acrylic organizers. One ranges from $150-235. Yikes! That is why I am asking for suggestions. I do not know if I want to pull the trigger on the ones I found. I do not even know what to put inside the totes! What to do!

I would like to suggest my makeup organization system to you, but I'm all about price and function before looks. They are cheap sterilite drawers, I'm not sure you'll like them.

I watch my express points like a hawk. They don't say "bonus points" for my jeans, but with the way the numbers work, I definitely got them. I ordered four pairs of jeans (not at the discount Frown ) and I have 1,000 more points than I would based on just purchases and credit cars bonuses. Both of my orders credited correctly and with my jeans bonus points. We are probably okay Smilie

Hm, I personally prefer the gloss because it would probably only really reflect versus the hammered. The texture on the hammered looks like basically what happens to a nail when it's hammered in all directions and not very pretty. It can be interesting though. I don't know if it's best to try it out in stores? I thought the shapes where pretty much the same, just the texture was different? How would you match earrings or necklaces with the hammered? The glossy texture seems easier to match other accessories with. Not sure if that helps, but I think if you can make it to a store, check it out.
You've convinced me the hammered bracelets are out. I was planning to wear whichever bracelets I choose with this necklace in multi-gold http://www.express.com/multi-colo...595a5de6c9. I'm planning to order these earrings http://www.express.com/dangling-d...59534f4499 to go with it. TBH, I don't like the earrings at all online. They have good reviews, so I'm hoping I'll like them better in person. Unfortunately, they're the only multi-tone earrings I see to go with the necklace. I want them to be multi-tone, because I already have solid gold & solid silver earrings. I don't know when I'll make it to the store, & I want to order before the code expires. Frown

Bummer, I was hoping to like them.

What color did you try in the linked bracelet? It has caught my eye a few times. I just don't know what I'd wear it with. I love the fact that it fits your wrist though. It's really hard to find bracelets that small. For that reason, I'll probably order it, but which color? Scratchchin

Normally, I don't spend much time figuring out my points, but this one is pretty obvious in my account. I had an order with 2 pair of jeans & a dress that equaled $99. I got 990 points + 495 CC points. My other orders didn't contain jeans. An $18 order had 180 points + 90 CC points. A $30 order had $300 + 150. The other orders all had the same breakdown. The total for every order is exactly the 2 numbers added together. That makes it really easy to tell I didn't get any extra points.

hmmmm. i'm now wondering if the bonus points went on my account without it being listed. my jeans order was $100, and I got 1000 + 500 points. nothing shows up in bonus points. last time when they did the 1000 point bonus for making any purchase (in store or online during the course of a few days) my 1000 points shows up in that bonus points column. however my total points doesn't really add up either... so i'm a little confused!

also, i just realized that i also "checked in" at the store, and i didn't get the 10 points for that either. something is up with my account, or that store. i see a store check-in 10 points in my points history, back in april.

Weird! Maybe they do it differently for different accounts. Mine looks like the one Anni described, where things just don't end up right. GH, it looks like there's a problem with your bonus points Frown

Does it have to be acrylic? I think K's got a really good system, even if it is plastic.

So I took a look at the other stuff you wanted to wear with the bracelets and if you do that, I think everything might be a little too loud, if you wanted to go more towards the muted end. I think that you can do one multi-color accessory and then the others either bracelets or necklace or necklace and earrings could be something that is not so loud and preferably in one of the multicolors. I know you like matching jewelry, and usually I don't think twice cause I think different colored metals look weird not matched. But since there's this many colors, you may want one standout piece and the others more subtle so that all three aren't fighting for attention. Just my 2 cents Smilie

For the gals who have done ebay shipping, or even I guess get anything via USPS, I know that first class with delivery confirmation may not show up online for the first 24 hours or so. But I shipped something Monday and it's now Thursday and still NOTHING. It just says Electronic Info Received. Usually I don't watch it like a hawk cause I know it'll get there, but this particular person said they're moving on Friday. Tomorrow is Friday, so I'm freaking out. I went to the post office and asked and they said from CA to AZ it's 2 days and should already be there.

Has that happened to any of you where it would not show up at all? But how can Paypal/Ebay confirm receipt then?

I know sometimes we get orders and we receive them and the tracking says it's still only electronic info received. That just happened recently when I sent something to DBF - nothing on the tracking the day he received it, but I went back to check and it has everything that happened on the day of delivery.

So I'm freaking out - hopefully the person got it. And hopefully the person has mail forwarding to their new address - I'd assume most people would if they're moving, right? I tried contacting her earlier in the week about it, but no response. Scratchchin I guess it's out of my control and the only thing is just to ride it out and Pray everything gets there. Le sigh.

it was black or black diamond. looking closer at the pics, i think black diamond is prettier. you can wear it with hematite, or multitone stuff that has hematite.

big drawer can hold big palettes. heavier items must be on the bottom. Click image for larger version Name: photo.jpg Views: 37 Size: 407.3 KB ID: 1385888
i have it now as 4 small drawers and 2 large. i think the original config is 3 small + 2 large. i mix-and-matched with other sets (i bought 3 and use others for other things)

they were iirc $15 orig price but i got them on clearance at 50% off.

Yes, I've had that happen to a shipment. It had arrived and didn't update until days after it had been delivered. My guess is, if your buyer isn't responding, she's either received it or she's more concerned about the move. You shipped it USPS so it's on her to have her mail forwarded. My bet is that you'll be fine hug Oh and FWIW, I have called USPS before when it doesn't get there in 5 days and shows no tracking, they said to call back when a week had passed.

Thanks for the reassurance. I'm sure she's more concerned about the move. I'd assume most reasonable people would have their mail forwarded. I guess I'll stop being a madwoman and check every 2-3 hours for an update Faint shake head

Okay, make sense. I just asked the person working on the docks that I drop stuff on about the avg ship times cause I figured they actually work with packages and know. I guess I have next Monday to actually be concerned. Phew!
