When you happily use various DS lotions in the spirit of shopping your stash, but after slathering yourself in Antica Farmacista Prosecco Body Lotion, your husband walks in the bathroom, wrinkles his nose and asks why it smells like urinal cakes.

*Oddly enough, he is not similarly offended by my Prosecco candle from the same brand....

...urinal cakes?

[Tamara76]

Yup - aka "Urinal Mints"  used for deodorizing purposes in men's rooms.... Needless to say, that is not what I want my hubby to think I smell like - lotion went in the trash and I went back in the shower and found a super girly BBW lotion instead.  😉

ahaha urinal mints, i love it

Oh, Nordstrom. While I would argue tape is not necessary to secure the lid to the bottle during shipping, they could have at least ran it side to side, and not front to back, overlapping the labels. Tape removal removed some of the label, too. We'll see what CS has to say. It's not currently in stock locally.

@SheWhoSkis Booooo! Nordies has never shipped me a JM with tape before. Whomever did that is incompetent. 😞 (PS: That scent was my very first JM.)

When you see something that you've been waiting for and your heart skips a beat only to read that it's a "hopefully we will see this" post.  The image really grabs your attention.  I know a few of us are waiting for this... I was so excited to share... but no 😞 cross fingers it will still happen!

Here's hoping the dream of a MAC x Beauty and the Beast collection really will come true!

So Ulta has these skincare samplers on sale for $15, great deal but the packaging is so excessively large and unnecessary it makes me sad. It's like double the size it needs to be. Will keep them to reuse for gifts or whatever comes up.

Being so absent minded that you miss an ebay auction 😭 😭 😭

[dfjsdkfljsdlf]

😞 😞 I've recently learned that with the ebay phone app, if you watch something, it'll notify you that an auction's ending soon in X hours. Or if you're the highest bidder, etc. Total lifesaver! Ebay auctions still makes me jittery.

[shimmerbait]

@veronika23  Aww what were you bidding on?

[veronika23]

@shimmerbait   I was watching a RM mac mini iridescent bag... I hadn't put a bid on it just yet and said to myself we shall see how high it goes and if the reserve was met. It went for 50 USD 😭 😭 😭 😭 I'm so mad at myself. 😄

ETA: This one

[shimmerbait]

Bummer 😞 I was bidding on a MAC Oh Darling as a gift for a friend, forgot all about it last night, closed I think at $37 this morning. So I know the feeling!

[veronika23]

@shimmerbaitoh no! sorry 😞

[Asche]

Ohhhh the Bay. Ships me a free sample, but not my actual order.
