I took advantage of the 15% off for having an AE credit card on the last Tuesday of the month. Here's what I got: I've been wanting to try my hand at distressing my own jeans, and for $24.95... why not? I sized up in these, and I have short legs... but they'll be going back if they're too Daisy Duke I won this on eBay yesterday

MissMee · Kate Spade

Elle, I got these

in this color too. I was wondering if I should have gotten white, but I was worried that I'd look like a hippie nurse or something. If you get white ones, will you take a pic and post it?

Elle · Hermes

Will do MissMee

. I was picturing the white ones with khaki bermudas for this spring/summer .......

Shopgirl, I love this top/dress thing. How do you plan on wearing it? Also, will you do a review (maybe w/pics) when you get it?

I know some people think it's overpriced, but I've been using for years and can't live without it. I've gone through periods where I've tried to save money and researched and used other options and none seem to quite measure up. I started using it a couple of years ago when I went on accutane and it saved my skin. My skin is pretty dry in general, so it might not be the best for those with really oily skin (although, I use it in the summer and humid climates). You have to get used to how to use it- only a tiny bit, rubbed between fingers to warm it up. My skin just glows when I use it (a nice dewy look). And, unlike other heavier moisturizers I've tried, this feels like it actually penetrates my skin instead of just sitting on the surface. Let me know if you have any questions!

Rosey, Did you ever try Philosophy's Hope In A Jar and Purity? I ask because I too went on Accutane and originally used Cetaphil, but one morning it actually BURNED my skin and I immediately used Purity instead and then for the duration of my treatment. That and Hope in a Jar saved my skin while on Accutane. My doc said I she couldn't believe I didn't have ANY symptoms of people on Accutane (like the waxy face, peeling skin, flaking, redness...). I don't use those products anymore, because they aren't compatable with my STILL! acnegenic skin, but if you haven't tried those products, I just cannot reccommend them enough for dry skin.

PS. If you are having any acne probs these days I can recommend a cheap regimine that has left me with totally clear skin for about a year now (I mean not a single real pimple on my face).
