I'm thinking about Signorina Misteriosa from Ferragamo. If y'all have any other suggestions please share. 😊

I could easily spend a couple hundreds so I try to avoid it as best I can :)
Not in the NYC area bc everytime I go into Sephora they tell me they stopped perfume samples bc of the pandemic. I don't spend money in there bc it's overpriced imo. I get EVERYTHING (makeup, skincare) in samples & since they city has tons of Sephora stores I go to multiple ones and stock up on the same samples LOL I basically get high end products for free. Most of the time the samples last me a couple months. Been doing it for years & have saved so much $$$
A good tip is to just buy sample perfumes of your fave brand/scent on ebay for a few bucks. I refuse to pay full price for anything.

They didn't give out samples at the Sephora's I've shipped at in South Florida or the DMV. Both times they said it was because of the pandemic but since everything has opened back up I suspect it's to cut down cost and to stop people from abusing the service. Saying it's because of covid doesn't make much sense to me unless they're creating the samples from open products.

Depends on who is working & at which stores from my experience lately. Like last week I went into a Macy's here and walked out with 2 Anastasia concealers that were pretty decent sized. Other times when they try to say (it has to be from a pump only product) when I do ask different sales people and get one that will actually bend the rules or just didn't know. They need to just give them out freely again bc there are products I am iffy about due to my sensitive skin.

Makeup counters definitely do it in big stores. usually they will have little plastic containers to put them in.
I am funny about moisturizers and foundations bc i have oily skin and heavy pores and if its brand im not familiar with the makeup counter will give me samples.
I wonder if it makes a difference when i take in a bag of makeup to say what i like from each one.
The only time I was denied was when they had super low stock which is understandable and that might be the case now.
ulta and sephora give me samples but that's when they had samples on the shelf for anyone to try. if there are samples on the shelf to test they should be able to pump a few squirts w/out a problem.

Ulta always refuses samples to me for some reason :(
Sephora is my go to. I do love their foundation powder brand, it usually lasts me 3 months if I'm careful.

Re: The Official 'What's On Your Mind?' Thread!
In case anyone doesn't know, you can return used makeup at Sephora simply because you don't like them. That does not mean you used half a bottle of foundation and try to return it, lmao!
I find it hard to understand why they still aren't giving out samples. I don't ever see them cross contaminate when giving samples. I will have to verify next time at my Sephora.

I'm going to get the shingles vaccine on Monday. After hearing about how bad shingles are, it's definitely worth the $180 at Costco. (If you have prescription coverage it's usually less). You need a second shot in 2 to 6 months.

Omg Erika, I never knew there could be permanent nerve damage or that you could get shingles twice. I'm sorry that happened to you.

Yay!! I'm glad we inspired you. I got mine today. So far just a sore arm and some fatigue. The pharmacist said the side effects are not nearly as bad as the Covid vaccine.
He said to come back for the second shot in 4 months.

Re: The Official 'What's On Your Mind?' Thread!
^^ I am anemic. thats why. I have to keep my body mind and soul healthy 24/7.
its a battle and triggers things I wish it didn't trigger. sometimes end up in the hospital
Im pretty sure non anemic ppl get shingles more than once.
the birthday party was a hit. She was shocked to see me. I haven't seen her in a few years, we facetime, we talk. I haven't physically seen her since 2015.
she loves the perfumes and i ended up at pandora buying charms and got a free bracelet.
i didn't catch the deal at pandora like i should have.
if you spend 150 you get a free bracelet. I spent almost 400. if i would've broke that up in two transactions could've had two bracelets. one for her, one for me. lol

Re: The Official 'What's On Your Mind?' Thread!
gastric bypass... i am going to try again in June and see if im rejected, again.
I have solid fitness fitness tracking for the past year.
I will give myself until july to get down to 170 from 200 but thats 30lbs in 2 months and im not sure if that's healthy or even doable. Ive been pushing myself everyday really hard since warm weather started and im starting to see it.
I have lost a lot slower than the normal person but I also do things 10 times slower. I feel like a sloth moving compared to others lol

Erika if you like, you can reach out to me and we can talk about surgery. I'm not trying to come across as a superior authority on the subject, however I've done the research and I truly believe that you don't need to go to those extremes. I completed a weight loss program a few months ago with the contingency of approval and I was in fact approved, but decided it wasn't for me. I think it's a viable option for some that may weigh far more than yourself. I sat through those classes thinking y'all got me fukd up if you think I'm gonna risk hair loss, acne, skin folds, ulcers and not being able to fully enjoy my meals. The only reason I completed the program was because I had already paid my little copay and I hate wasteing money. Plus it was a reminder to do what I already knew what I should have been doing the entire time. That surgery can do a number on your body.

Re: The Official 'What's On Your Mind?' Thread!
I truly hate when people say things like "You're spoiling them." Whether it pertains to children or animals I'm like, "Noooo they're not spoiled. They are pampered. They are loved and supported. Now mind ya business!"
While I appreciate the teachings my parents gave to me, lots of it was rooted in tough love and disassembled our confidence. It's so weird when people want others to suffer and go through the ringer just because they did? Yes, this post is mostly about student loans, credit forgiveness and housing.

Re: The Official 'What's On Your Mind?' Thread!
Thank you Marina Starr- Speaking of Mother's Day- . I tried to search the forum for this topic but didn't come up with much. I can re-post this question in a new thread, if that helps---------Can I ask everyone if their adult kids know they cam? And how did that go over? I have 3 grown sons and am nervous for them to find out
Happy Mothers Day to all.

Thanks sis! I am beyond blessed with my children. My daughter bought me a Door Dash gift card, even though I insisted she not get me anything. My son sent me something but it hasn't arrived yet. Most likely another Olive Garden gift card. lol

I have returned so many webcams.
I ordered the Brio. I'm going to give in another chance. My new place has better internet so we'll see.
