i worry about that also. all i do is sunbathe it seems. bad idea on multiple fronts for me.

after years of buying all kinds of bikinis i've found that the most practical for me are regular bottoms. like the ruched side ones. they fit under clothing well without any weird bumps, and won't look weird under a wetsuit. i know some are not meant to be practical, but still - i can't help but think this way when i'm browsing. the most practical items are what i end up using the most anyway.
I actually hate being in the sun at the beach. Unable to perceive the strength of the sun because of the cool wind. After coming back 10x darker than expected in the past, I'm always under an umbrella and I still tan. But I bet that's from frolicking in the water shake head

Yes, you make very valid points about the ruched bottoms. I haven't thought about it that way. I bought my first ruched pair sometime before SAS. I do find that when I wear the side ties, they're always sticking stupidly out of my shorts because I can't put them in since they're tight anyway shake head Or they stick out in cover up dresses!

cancun blue is more turquoise than it appears on my screen. i really like the depth of color in person. on my screen it just looks blue but it's got a good amount of green in there also.
Thanks for the color description! I was on the fence about it, but this just about convinced me!

Hmm... I know one of them would only send me one GWP, but I don't remember which.

azn - totally forgot to respond to all your BM issues. glad the dress worked out and it's awesome that it looks even better in person! woot it's good that the day is coming up so that these things need to be over and done with!

i wonder what questions they asked that made your bride have second thoughts about getting her makeup done? i really really think she should hire an artist, even if it's just for herself. especially since she doesn't normally wear makeup. she will look awesome (they tend to work the best on ppl who don't normally wear makeup since it won't take much to make them look different than normal) and without getting an artist she could end up looking normal. either way it won't be bad, but it would be so much easier to hire someone.

i was also like you in that i was scared of them using their own brushes/etc. but it turned out fine for me. they do clean their brushes pretty well. i settled on airbrush foundation tho - they airbrushed me with MUFE HD foundation. it seems more sanitary that way. laugh out loud my eyes were fine - no irritation from the artist's brushes/products even tho they get irritated extremely easily. i thought about having her use my own stuff on me, but i didn't want her contaminating my stuff. laugh out loud

i'm pretty comfortable doing a neutral eye nowadays from all the practice from my friend's wedding a couple years ago. i learned face contouring also -- it's not too hard! just look for where your cheekbones are - blush goes right below it, contour goes in the hollow and around the sides of your face (and sides of nose if you want to), highlight goes right on or slightly above your cheekbone. look for youtube - there are tons of useful tutorials! (i like to watch bridal tutorials on asian yt gurus since they deal with our hooded eye issue better) it's not too much wasted product - your eye shadows will last longer than you'll need them anyway. [i know you have as much shadow as me and mine are very far from getting even a dent in them]

another new dress [express.com] in express clearance - looks similar to the hi lo hem dress that was there for a long time tho. just more colors.

also, one sleeve lace dress [express.com] in dark raspberry. i didn't know it came in this color! i remember trying the 2 and 4 and they both fit me - 4 was more comfy while 2 looked better in photos (the usual). i liked this dress but the sleeve was way too large for me. very cute dress otherwise!

where is boca raton, fl? there seems to be some activity in my next account there. Confused

Did my four or five returns last Friday. I wanted them out of here. I still have a box to go through and decide what to do with.....keep, return, give as presents, give to goodwill/or shelter. I wish VS still had all your orders on their site. Pain to search through my invoices to find the right one.

btw, i tried on some swimwear and i am liking this new bandeau top [victoriassecret.com]. why? bc it's got a tie back!! woot which means you can order your size without worrying that it'll be too big and slide off. i tried 32C but am going to try 34B and 34C to see if i get more coverage. excited that i can just tie it tight in back! laugh out loud the photo is misleading since the 2nd photo shows a gold hardware closure in the back. that's a different top.

i'm loving the polo green and cancun blue colors this season. wish it weren't so pricey tho...
Thanks for the info on the top! That's great that it ties in back. I hadn't really looked at the new swimwear yet. They have so many more styles that come in DD. I always regret buying bathing suits at full price, but I'm afraid the colors I want are going to sell out before there's a good deal. I kind of wish I didn't just blow my big rewards card. I might get a bunch of suits to try next time there's a tier and FS combo, and re-buy when the prices go down. In don't even need more bathing suits, but I'm constantly looking for tops that fit.

Boca is close to Miami I think.

That dress is static fabric. It's cute though.

Liya Push-up Halter Tops in
Got a Mint [133], Maldives [890], Bright Marine [2NU], and Spa Blue [AT7]. woot

Side Riched Low-rise Hipkini Bottoms in
Got a Mint [133], Maldives [890], Bright Marine [2NU], and Spa Blue [AT7]. woot

...i'm waiting indefinitely for Sour Yellow [39G] to go on sale or clearance eventually. bounce

D: having mixed feelings about a bunch of my in-store Semi-Annual Sale bras.
- colors sitting at the top of my Wish List cost more. - $29.99 and Up
- colors i wasn't looking for ahead of time cost less. - $15.99 each
i've drawn a fine line between returns vs. keepers. i plan on eliminating regrets by returning and/or keeping all of them.
