is the cc cream moisturizing? that's what i want to try it for.
are you really that pink toned? it doesn't seem to show up as much in the photo but i didn't like the undertone of medium at all. actually i think they all run pink, which is why i've been mixing the light with the light medium (light medium looks like a good match for me but the beige ness just makes my skin look weird).

it's pretty moisturizing. i always put a very light moisturizer/serum underneath anything i wear. my face never felt dry wearing the cc cream and sometimes felt oily. i always err on the side of oily bc i'd rather my face be oily (i can blot) than dry (that causes flakes and sometimes pimples for me).

gilligan & O'malley at target has a bridal collection [target.com] now. it's funny - most pieces are obvious knockoffs of vs but at a much better price point. i actually prefer this, as most brides will only wear those items once. i think this is hilarious tho:

laugh out loud i want to buy it for my bride friend just so we can all laugh about it. (that's a veil that's covering up your cheeks... Blink)
Too funny...I wonder if they will get slapped with a lawsuit from VS.

If anyone has a TRENDY pin they aren't using, I would love it. I want to order a bra & have a $10 off + free panty pin that won't combine with shipbras.

Thanks for posting it works with $10 off bra hug

I went to sephora last night and was able to swatch the clinique cc creams. Here they are side by side: very light, light, light medium, medium, medium deep. I didn't swatch the last shade, deep. Above was clinique even better makeup in #2 fair.

To me the light medium and medium look about the same depth but medium is pink toned. Light medium and medium deep are more yellow or olive. Light actually seems a bit pink also.
I heart you Blowkiss thanks a ton hug

Do the fabric Blustery shoes break in easily? I got mine today. The 5 is a little big, but a foot petal may fix that. It's really uncomfortable right now. My heels would be raw in no times. I don't mind wearing mole skin to break them in, if they will eventually soften up & feel more comfortable.

That first top is on my wish list too. I'm a little afraid to bother ordering another peplum top, but I keep hoping the next one will be a better fit. Crazy I may try the other one too. Let us know how it washes, if you get it.

Quote from kurips :
Gh - I like the partially tucked trend. Have not done it myself yet.
I figured I was showing my age again. Embarrassment The look reminds me of running out of the house tucking my top in, then having to fix it when I got to class. laugh out loud

Quote from azn1x6flame :
:wav e2: Nice to see you!

No, I agree with you. I think the partially tucked look looks really sloppy. I haven't seen a regular person do it in public. However, when really thin girls do it on TV, I think it looks good on them, but the ensemble has to be right.
I kind of thought you'd agree. Teehee When it comes to personal style, we think similarly.

Quote from nerdicus :


the first time i saw that was on porda when she modeled shorts for us. :h ide:
I thought she had done that to get an idea how it would look tucked in, but didn't want to take the time to tuck it in all the way around. laugh out loud I see it other places now.

Quote from nerdicus :
Careful with the trendy code. Someone in coupons said they were charged shipping even though confirmation was correct.
Quote from smilinghelen :
For those who used the SAVE20 code yesterday, double check your orders. I had to call in because the PINK dogs I ordered hadn't applied the 20% off even though they were clearance... They adjusted the order.
Thanks for the warnings. Having to double check every VS order for errors is getting old.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Pj39- $39 satin pj's today only

All dresses 30% off at express!
Thanks.

I want to try a maxi dress, but I don't see one at Express at the moment that may be short enough & would also work for me. This one http://www.express.com/clothing/p.../cat820001 would work in length, but the backless feature isn't for me.

Quote from red333 :
I got the new black fashion star dress. LOVE LOVE LOVE! When I opened it, there were small shoulder pads, which sort of freaked me out...but they make the dress lay so nicely. The dress has a really thick zipper up the back, like industrial strength for a zipper. It looks awesome. I ordered it in a 2 and a 4. Both seem to fit okay, but even the 4 pulls a little at the hips on me. I may try a 6 just to compare. Already, I plan on wearing it to my friend's bachelorette party this weekend, and I may pick it to be the one nice dress I bring to Europe later this month. Seriously, buy this dress before it's gone.

http://www.express.com/clothing/b.../cat810036

Also, I'm sort of obsessed with the cheeky low-rise swim bottoms with the ruffle from VS. I know I swore off bathing suits this year, but I have acquired those bottoms in all of the basic colors...and a few fun ones : ). But I've seriously got them in 5 colors.

http://www.victoriassecret.com/sw...earch=true

I have one other review. I don't think I've ever seen the ruffle triangle bikini set reviewed here ever, but I've always wondered about it, since it's probably been on the site for at least 5 years. Well, I ordered it with the style15 code from ALVS and shipping from K (thanks by the way), and I absolutely love it. It's a really thick material, and the top is really well made. It's curved around the bust line, so it lays really nicely. I was a little worried about the way the color would look on me with my red hair and the fact that I'm so fair, but it looked good. I think it would probably look even better on any of you ladies who can tan. Anyway, because I've never seen this bikini reviewed but it's been on the site so long, I just wanted to put it on the radar

http://www.victoriassecret.com/sw...earch=true
Thanks for the reviews.

Good morning ladies! Off to jury duty. EWWW.
I hope you get an interesting case, or get out of it altogether. An interesting case may be fun.

Quote from red333 :
I am all about the skater dresses and the fit and flare dresses this season! I probably have 8 of the regular skater dresses. They are amazing! I can't wait to try the strapless ones, either!! I really want the blue one : )

Also, it's ridiculous. We are expecting snow this weekend. I have an entire closet full of dresses ready to be worn!!
Which colors do you have? I have purple & the soft ivory color block, but I want more.

Quote from red333 :
As a side note, I wonder if express fixed the birthday code glitch entirely or if there will be a new one this month...we should try to track one down, but I don't see any listed on eBay. Hmmmm...

I bet it's not fixed because all the other four digit codes still work...
My birthday is in a few days. I'll let you all know, if I get one. Wink

is it possible that i'm a medium deep? i don't think i'm a light medium. i'm darker than you are.

this maxi:
http://www.express.com/clothing/t.../cat820001

yes, let us know! Smilie

i only have leather blustery because it was extremely soft right when i got them. i'm going to try out another one in a non-leather due to the price, but i'm not sure if it'll be as comfortable. imo the blustery's use of extremely soft leather lends to its comfort.

i don't remember if the back ever cut into my heel on those shoes. the front wasn't very comfortable in the beginning of my 2nd pair - it softened after a few wears and now it's extremely comfy. i like my 2nd pair more because i got it 1/2 size larger - i use those shoes for days when i walk a lot and my feet expand by the end of the day.

btw not sure if you saw but there is a new color block skater dress:
http://www.express.com/catalog/pr...=cat550001

thought you might be interested.

The women at the Lancome counter coming in for the free gift are driving me NUTS. A woman called me a liar for saying I couldn't switch components of the gift as they are prepackaged and sealed closed. Faint While I was getting everything for her she was telling me how much she hates the items in it...uh...no one is forcing you to get it!
