I did get seriously annoyed when my USAF hubby (now retired) would get off for things like Martin Luther King Day, while I worked Christmas and New Years, though.

Yes, I know..it's ridiculous what holidays people get off..I work in a hospital as a CNA, so I'm right there with you. Luckily, I do 12 hr nights and so I get my holiday pay if I work the night going into the holiday...makes sense?  The only time I really want the holiday off is Thanksgiving...sadly, I'm one of those crazy Black Friday shoppers lol!

So I dont suppose you get Columbus Day off either? Thats one of my fave day off because its so close to the holidays, its like a cherry on top of a sundae!

editing because I just saw where you said all you get is Thanksgiving Day off

OMG I AM SO DISSAPOINTED :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Also dont like the baby powder smell of the Perricone MD cleanser :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Whats up with products having such horrible scents!?​

Nope...I actually think my hospital pays out for seven holidays??? New Year's, Labor Day, Memorial, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Veteran's...maybe MLK...can't remember lol. Also, in my dept, they make you rotate, so if you got several holidays off, you're stuck working the next round or next year. Guess who got all her holidays off last year by some magical twist of fate???? LOL, bummer for this winter holiday season coming up!

 
Whenever I tried making orders with BF, I awould mess up my credit card billing address on purpose, so they would send me that automated e-mail lik "blahblahblah, your order didn't go through, please update your billing information." but under recent orders itw ould show the pending charges they were charging me. BFBLOG used to work and I always had an order amount showing up as $19.99 :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Hope whoever's having problems with it gets it fixed bc I seriously LOVE BF.

On another note, I am loving the Stila Set & Correct! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> But still iffy on the Murad face primer...don't feel like it's actually doing anything.

Ive been loving it too! I use it to set my hello flawless foundation. Ive been trying it with just some stila one step bronze as a natural bronze look. I think that the set and correct is one of the best setting powders ive ever used. probably because the grinding part and the colors are like a novelty for me. lol

 
I really like the Stila powder too. I have used the Make Up For Ever high def powder for over a year (which says something as a beauty junkie) and now all I use is the Stila.

 I also hated the smell of that IQ derma lotion. I will never find out if it works because I cant bear to have my face smell like that all day!! The cleanser wasn't as bad and actually worked well though.

Yeah i dont know what is in it that makes is smell that bad but im sure they could have done SOMETHING to mask it even a little bit! I really wanted to like that stuff too but just couldnt get past that smell! The cleanser's smell wasnt nearly as bad and i did kind of like the formula but i like my current cleanser from pangea organics that smells soooooo much better and works even better!

I really want to trade my Perricone MD cleanser and my Murad primer and eye perfector!! If you (or anyone else) would be interested in those items let me know!!! I would say that id want to trade the IQ derma but i would feel BAD knowing someone elses nose would have to suffer

I love the Stila powder! I only use mineral powder foundation, not liquid foundation, so I love this for a setting powder after my mineral powder foundation. I particularly love the packaging. With the grinding feature, you only grind up what you're going to use and it doesn't come out of the sifter and make a mess like almost every other loose powder ever created.

For me the smell fades pretty quickly (and I only use it at night, so i don't notice it as much) but I agree it smells BAD. It smells exactly like the moment you pour jello powder into boiling water. 

 
The Saga Continues:

So this morning my Mastercard showed that the $49.99 charge that had been pending was now posted (as of 7/5).

My order is due to be delivered today. I planned to refuse delivery and cancel the account, if I couldn't get any satisfaction out of customer service. I was told that the BBBLOG code had expired, but that because I had been told I could have it, they would issue a $30 credit to my card. They have already sent an email to that effect, although it looks like the only way they could make it work was to process it as a returned order.

So I guess I won't cancel my membership until I see what they have to offer next quarter. By then I may have given up my other subs, which will make it easier to justify the expense.

would you be interested in trading for anything else for your murad primer (just the primer)? I got the Jane Iredale lip plumper and didn't care for the color but I am loving the primer. 

 
Those of you that like the Stila Set and Correct . . . how are you applying it? I use liquid foundation and when I use the Stila Set and Correct I apply with a large powder brush and it looks heavy, my pores look larger (to me, anyway), and lightens my skin tone too much. I apply it like the loose powder I normally use but I'm not liking the effect.

I haven't paid attention to the clicks but I don't do it much at all, just enough to get a little.. And I use a fluffy brush to swirl around and apply.. I will have to try patting it on instead of just.. Brushing it all over lol. I don't notice a huge difference right away but after awhile my face just looks fresher/less red than when I use the MUFE HD powder.

I apply it as a setting powder over my benefit hello flawless foundation. I turn the wheel just a little bit ,tap the grinds onto the mirror and apply it with either a kabuki brush or a long handled powder brush. I wait till the foundation is nearly dry and work in the powder and it gives me just a little more coverage since the foundation is medium. So I  swirl, make sure to tap off the excess to avoid paleness, and buff it all over, including grabbing a smaller brush to set my concealer with.The key is to not over apply the powder otherwise you become very pale looking, Avoid it by tapping all the excess off the brush  and lightly sweep it over your entire face.. When I first used it i used a whole lot, but the trick is to only use a littte. I was so used to using BE's powder foundation so I over applied it. But now I just put a little bit all over and it makes my face look great. My concern is what do I do if I run out lol! But as for the shrinking pores and correcting, it does that, but just a little.

If you are still a little unsure, I have a review up on youtube you can checkout. just search stila set and correct

 
lol! I hope that it will still be there next quarter so I can pick up another one too! I would totally trade for another one if anyone had an extra or didnt care for it! Ive been doing a summer look with just that and the stila one step bronze and I love it so much! I wanted a look with a bronzey look without foundation, and I apply the bronze all over with a stippling brush and the set it with the saet and correct. I love the set and correct because it cand give me coverage where I need it, as well as getting rid of some of the redness in my face. The powder takes some getting used to but Its soooooo much better than the tarte one or mineral veil. If anyone has one they want to get rid of, let me know too!

Right? I really am surprised how much I like it. I almost want to open another account to get another one plus my other favorite products.. Hahaha
