kellycadaver says "Itty-bitty tanks for itty-bitty people" about American Apparel Crisscross-back tank

kellycadaver — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 23:49:17 GMT

I bought this tank online, hoping an XL would fit me (I'm 36 bust with a 30 waist), and this tank sort of fit me "tankini" style... meaning it was very short and very, very tight. Perhaps I am just too busty for this style of tank - but a friend of mine also ordered a tank in this style from this company in her size (she is considerably smaller than I am) and had the same complaints. Now I have noticed that American Apparel is fairly inconsistent in their sizing (I work in a store that sells their stuff), so I should of half expected that. My experience was a bad one - but yours might not be... I would advise ordering a size or 2 above your own....

kellycadaver says ""My favorite deodorant/antiperspirent, hands down."" about Secret Platinum in Mystic Rain

I love the way this stuff smells, more than anything else. It leaves a really light, herbally scent on clothes that's very pleasant and comforting. I hate most deodorants for women simply because they always smell like rose, baby powder, fake tropical flowers or some kind of synthetic fruit. This stuff is nice because it smells a bit more "real" - but it's only really noticeable once it is on your skin. When you smell it in it's container, it's not impressive - but as your body warms up throughout the day it sort of "transforms."

Oh, and it stops me from being totally stinky and sweaty.

kellycadaver says ""A cut below the rest."" about Fantastic Sams - - Mankato, MN

I decided to try Fantastic Sams because all I wanted was a simple trim - and at $9.95, you can't really beat the price. Everything was fine until I was paired up with the rudest stylist I have ever had in my life, who seemed incredibly grossed-out by my hair (I hadn't washed it since the night before - so sue me). She sort of picked at some pieces of my hair and said, "Uhggg, uhm - Can I wash this first?"

...I was a little horrified and embarassed because I didn't think my hair really looked that bad. When she started to cut my hair, she looked at my scalp and said, "What is this? Box dye?" I mentioned I was a hairdye junkie and she sort of went "Ha" and shook her head. At this point I was thinking, "Who do you think you are? You work in a salon across the street from Old Country Buffet... " She didn't talk to me the rest of the experience, managed to cut the back of my hair crooked by almost an inch on either side, rang me up and walked away with her tip without saying thank...

kellycadaver says ""This stuff always makes me feel really sexy."" about Bath & Body Works Sensual Amber

kellycadaver — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 21:23:18 GMT

Every time I put this fragrance on, my husband always leans into me and says, "My god, what are you wearing?" It's like an instant confidence booster - but maybe that's just me, since I'm a big big fan of Amber scents. It definitely is more of a warm, earthy fragrance... but if you like sandalwood or herbaly scents, this is probably up your alley....

kellycadaver says ""This stuff is very movie-star-pout."" about Avon BEYOND COLOR Quick Pen Plumping Lip Gloss

kellycadaver — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 21:15:29 GMT

I am always pleased every time I use this stuff - now whether or not it actually plumps my lips physically, I am not sure... but it does (perhaps through light diffusion) make my lips appear more full and luscious. Normally I'm not into berry-tinted stains, since they don't look very natural against my skintone, but the colors they offer for this product are very subtle and sort of blend with your natural lip hue. Overall, I'm a big fan of this product. The only thing I don't really like is how the applicator can get a little gunky over time, especially if you overclick it....
