Porda- nope! I decided against it. I brought the black jacket to go over a different dress, but it's so cold that I chose a different jacket instead.

Alvs - hope you like the self tanner! I liked the supergoop lip balm.

Thanks. It is cute, but even more so than the plain one, I can hear a voice in the back of my head saying "It's just a top/skirt/belt ensemble, don't buy the dress, get the pieces instead so you can mix and match!" Teehee Of course, price-wise, it's probably cheaper to just get the dang dress with the deals we get. I drive myself Crazy with that thinking.
yup, the deals always get us!
Quote from PordaPoddy :
rolled sleeve stripe shirt [express.com] - on a straight frame this might work, otherwise, isn't this the opposite gradation of striping that you want in those places (wide stripes on belly, small on top)?
i have it. but mine has pink.

Either naked is great. I find 2 to be better for everyday work makeup while 1 is better for going out at night. But I love both!

Also, I like a lot of nyx palettes. Some are better than others but in general they're good value.

i haven't used my naked 2 and basics. i'm still deciding if i'd take them to vacay, while they'll be practical, i'm scared they'll break.

I don't think the nakeds are easily breakable. I brought my naked 2 for seminar! Its better for lighter makeup.

Every time I pick up naked 1 to I love it. I just don't reach for it as much.

Has anyone been able to get Express CS to add a code on an order, when you've used it on another online purchase? The website kicked out a code on one of my orders. I went ahead & used the same code on another order though. There may be another code I could use, if I can't reuse that one. I'm just not sure I want to keep the jeans for the price I paid.

awww :com fort: I know the low inventory thing really makes people panic. Myself included!

Thanks for the rewards heads up! Now I gotta wait for a good tier to spend it on! :wh ee:
The low inventory feature has gotten me a few times already. I could have saved on three different orders, if I had taken time to maximize discounts. Facepalm

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
there is also a gwp with the tarte. free deluxe lash primer and mascara with purchase.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
I envision a zipper problem with this : http://www.express.com/clothing/m.../cat120002
and this cut out fit and flare [express.com]

Also, is it just me or do the following make even the model look heavier than she should? :shak e:

printed flutter sleeve [express.com]
silk drop waist tank [express.com](the single reviewer seems to confirm my suspicion)
ruffled chiffon hem tank [express.com] - really hope this doesn't has as much volume as it looks... altho if it does, this could be a good maternity tank for those expecting Stick Out Tongue
rolled sleeve stripe shirt [express.com] - on a straight frame this might work, otherwise, isn't this the opposite gradation of striping that you want in those places (wide stripes on belly, small on top)?
mixed media pleather jacket [express.com] Maybe it's the white pants? IDK. Might look fine in person, but I don't think they're going to sell a lot from that photo.

And a new length of pant...
Stella Brushed Sateen Rolled Crop Pant [express.com] This photo just looks to me like she had a sudden growth spurt... I usually like crops :mes sed:
I envision a lot of fat showing on me in the cutout dress. EEK!

Like VS, I think Express could make a lot of their clothes more appealing with better pictures. I do think VS is worse though. Some of their poses look stupid. One of the Express models almost always looks heavy in photos. Maybe, she's bigger than the rest. Dontknow Using models with different body shapes is to be commended, but this one isn't attractive at all. I always wonder why they use her in so many photos.

I thought the same thing about that minus-the-leather jacket. That's one jacket that I have no desire to purchase. I don't know if it's the jacket or the picture, but it I think it's ugly.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Crochet shorts are too big : (.
Those are adorable. Sorry they didn't fit. hug If it makes you feel any better, I'm having to pass on them also. I'm afraid they're too short for my age. VS Eva shorts are my limit on length.

I love the velvet case!! I hate the metal case because I worry when I use too much force to open, I will catch the eyeshadow and ruin it as I have done with other palettes before shake head

I'm using Naked 1 for my friend's wedding.

I try to plan my orders before I purchase! I'm trying to plan one now with the coupons we have and my rewards! Part of me wants to wait before I make a purchase, but part of me isn't sure if it will go on sale! Like the fit and flare dresses I've been eying have not gone down to 30% off. Last time the dress I wanted down at 30% off was the sheath dress back in Nov. shake head
