Stuff, I suppose

First order of business: World is Your Oyster (Essie polish) is a hit. I'm not sure if the compliments on my nails are because they're pretty long (but not too long) or the color or the combo of both, but I'm betting it's the color because many a compliment have I received. I do have to redo my index finger and my pinky on the other hand but the right hand has no top coat (hence all the chippage) as I like to test these things out.
I will say I'm not sure what happened with the top coat though. I originally put it (the Insta Dri) over my pretty purple Zoya polish and it was fine. Or so I thought, as when I finished my icecream, I noticed my tips were all frosted. o_O I tried another coat to see if maybe the cold had done something odd (I dunno, I was tired) and it went on glossy and beautiful and again turned frosty. It looked crummy on that color, so I stripped the polish (g'ah, remover) and tried again with my Essie. And it did the same thing, only quicker. Luckily it looked better so I figured the hell with it, I'll leave it as is and finished watching Murder, She Wrote. By the end of the mini marathon, the tips were back to normal.

Next order of business, I wish this dude at work would stop coming by or just stop hitting on me. He doesn't do it all the time and I think I've mentioned him before, but when he does, he always manages to pick the time when no one's around and it's just... dude. Do you enjoy being shot down? Do you think I owe you a reason why I won't give you my number or flirt back? Because I don't. But if I did feel like trotting out reasons beyond, "Thank you, but I'm uninterested," I would probably lead with the fact that you've got a girl and I don't think any one is worth that kind of trouble. You wanna cheat, find someone else. If she's not your SO, maybe don't use her number for when you check out so her name comes up. I'd think maybe it was another family member only he's come in with her before (she put in the number that time and I double checked the name) and I know this is the south, but no.

Also, maybe don't hit on me while intoxicated. Seriously. Standards, I have them. But I don't owe you an explanation. And normally this wouldn't be a thing that would bother me for more than the time the idiot was in store, but lately I've noticed that almost anyone hitting on me has definitely got a girlfriend/wife/whatever. Dude, I may be fat and not super pretty but for fuck's sake, I'm not desperate.


BBW's SAS started online over the weekend and I made an order. Wasn't sure I was going to, but I found about $40 worth of stuff I wanted enough to try for, so I went for it. I think they cancelled the hand soap I was most interested in but I'm not sure because my "sorry, an item has been cancelled/sold out/whatever!" email did not actually include which item was dropped. When I check my order, all the items are still showing up for now, but who knows what will actually happen.

Mom's second wave of birthday goodies appeared and it looks like they sent two of one item. I double checked my invoice and it only lists one so I dunno. It was on clearance, and marked waaaaaaaaaay down so they were pretty desperate to get rid of it, but I don't know if sending two is really the best way to do it. :P

I'm still waffling on the semi-annual sale. There isn't that much I want amongst the items I need (body cream) and the sale prices are worse than ever. Where are my $3 body creams, dammit? In scents I actually know and love? (RIP Black Raspberry Vanilla). I'm also waiting for free shipping, but the current promo of $10 off $40 lasts until Friday, so boo. What little I do want will prolly be gone by then :(

I didn't get anything at Christmas, either. I guess B&BW and I are just going through a rough patch :-/

Did you get one of their coupons in the mail? It's got a code for the $10 off $40 that lasts til July 5th, though I don't think BBW lets you stack codes.

If not for the two candles I wanted to try, I wouldn't have wound up buying anything yet. As it is, I think I only snagged one more Beach Nights shower gel. Do they just have vats of this stuff lying around or do they make it specifically for SAS? *ponders*

Pretty sure I skipped the Christmas time SAS, too. I know I didn't buy much last year in general from them aside from hand soaps. Sigh.

I did get coupons, but it still didn't entice me. However, my patience has been rewarded: I went back and looked today, and magically they have more stuff available now than they did a week ago (imagine that!). Plus they're running a 20% off $25 promotion code now. I bought the full complement of items (cream/lotion/shower gel) for my all-time favorite actual-LE scent: Lemon Pomegranate Cream ♥ I also finally go my hands on some of the Almond Vanilla stuff. Rounded out with a couple of travel-size "to try" items and good ol' Country Apple and Watermelon Lemonade body cream. I'll have to wait for a separate sale to load up on the Creamy Luxe soaps bc most of the scents I wanted weren't included this go-around.

Huzzah! It's always nice when patience is rewarded with an even better sale. I keep eyeballing the Almond Vanilla stuff, so let me know how you like it. And double huzzah for getting all the goodies for your LE favorite!

The first time I looked they only had the Lemon Pomegranate Cream in the body cream, but it was at the top of my list because I'll take anything in that scent, I just love it! So to look again and find everything was wonderful ♥ I'm nursing my last bottle of body lotion right now, so I'm excited to get more of it. I'd have gotten more if it was more than 50% off, but alas. The Almond Vanilla stuff was 75% off and I hope I like it. I've wanted to try it since it came out but it was never on sale, so I had to wait. I'll definitely give you my verdict!!
