Shopping Websites you love

    I have many I love to shop from:

    Crabtree and Evelyn - LOVE the Jojoba Oil line. I can't wait to try the lipbalm.

    Fredericks of Hollywood - Only place I buy Bras from, found the style that works and just keep buying from that line. I also found that if you have a few friends/family that add to your order you become eligible for discounts and free shipping.

    Victoria's Secret - They don't carry my bra size anymore but their Amber Romance line is heavenly.

    Amazon - Sometimes I prefer this site over eBay but so far I haven't fount where you can pay with Paypal.

    Overstock - A little of everything

    eBay - Self explanatory

    Vista Print - A great place to get all kinds of different things with your info on it. Business cards, magnets, coffee cups, address labels...etc. Use a drop email. They spam the hell out of you...

    One that I want to try so badly but it is from overseas is Illamasqua - Makeup. I am so hung up on the Throb line... http://www.illamasqua.com/explore/collections/throb/ Who wouldn't want a lipgloss called Succubus? Or nail polish called Load? Pitty Pat goes my heart...

    Another I just found www.599fashion.com Everything is $5.99 or less. Haven't shopped there yet (Too broke to pay attention) but I thought I would throw it out there and see if any of you ladies are familiar with it.

    I also used to (years ago) shop at Adam and Eve. Grown up fun. Never had any complaints about their products but...use a drop email. They also spam you like crazy.

    Where do you like to shop online...and for what?

    Think of your problems as challenges to overcome not obstacles to be avoided.

    I always pay with PayPal on Amazon!
    Now you've got me confused! LOL

    I use VistaPrint for my business cards and website hosting too.

    LaneBryant for bras. I'm on their mailing list, so I get updates when they're having a sale.

    I shop EBay quite a bit too, but it's so totally random, the stuff I buy LOL

    I used Drugstore.com sometimes just for normal household "stuff", sometimes they have BOGO sales on the kind of makeup I like, or lotion and stuff.

    I couldn't even begin!  I'm getting to the point where I hate to go to a mall anymore, far preferring to shop online!!

    Bestdressedkids.com is a great site for kids clothes, and they usually have pretty good sales, and woodensoldier.com also for kids clothes when you want/need something really special.

    But, Amazon has always and will always be at the top of my list...i've been shopping there when all they sold were books!
    Bite me, cupcake!

    I love it too, except twice now I've had a book request come in and I didn't have the extra money to ship it so I had to turn down the request.  :(  I felt so bad!  I mean, who doesn't have an extra $2.50?  Me, that's who.

    I like ebay (of course, it's kinda my job) and Overstock due to the shipping, etsy for vintage stuff, modcloth (though I don't' think anything from there will fit me right)...

    I absolutely love the Victorian Trading company catalog http://www.victoriantradingco.com   and the J. Peterman catalog too http://www.jpeterman.com  and the Steampunk Emporium http://www.steampunkemporium.com   (can you tell, I was born in the WRONG century? There's more stuff there for guys, my sons always want stuff from there)

    I rarely get to order from any of those three due to them being pricey.   DW has bought me a couple gifts from the Victorian Trading company catalog though... a shamrock locket pendant, and this incredible rayon/bamboo/cotton nightgown with lace and poet sleeves, and we bought some Lavender funiture wax for my 1800's desk I inherited from my Grandma, since it is the only real wood furniture I own! ;)

    Oh and I love Think Geek.  http://www.thinkgeek.com   I order from there every Christmas for everyone in my family.

    Kitsel for all DS's badass clothes. Other than that I get DH shit from Cabela's or LLBean. I don't buy stuff for myself :-/ . Well, my 8billion books from Amazon DO NOT COUNT!!!

    Kitsel ladies and gents. Seriously, for those with little ones, this site is the best hands down.

    @Charlotte_Sometimes I am a total steampunk freak!!  Have you ever looked at Epbot.com ?  It's a really cool blog and Jen Yates is always posting steampunky goodness, she has some really cool tutorials on how to make your own stuff too. :)

    Shutterfly.com.
    I have ordered just a couple of things but at least twice a year I get FREE stuff from them. Like a photo book, very cool and not " cheap" at all, a photo mug, free 200 prints, I just pay about $3 for shipping.
    They have great product and pricing anyway, totally beats Costco or kinkos.

    @love Have I told you lately just how much I adore you? You can bet your sweet bottom I'm heading to that hair dye website! Would you say it's better than manic panic (the only crazy color hair dye I have experience with...)? I'm not sure if the salon I've been to (once) will do my whole head a funky color. My old salon back in NJ might have...and as much as I love to visit home I don't think a trip to the salon warrants driving up to NJ with a 4 hour round trip.
    I'm as sexy as a burp mid-kiss. Watch out!

    Shutterfly!  I make everyone calendars for Christmas every year and they are the favorite gifts.

    Zulily & Totsy.  The shipping takes forever but I don't mind.  By the time the stuff arrives I've forgotten what I ordered and it's like getting a surprise :)

    I've never really used Manic Panic. Shocker, I know!  My stylist uses Pravana brand (the ChromaSilk Vivids, specifically) color at the salon.
    But Amphigory is reasonable priced, has a huge selection, and even better (in my mind) their website has a gallery of photos for each color choice!
    Bear in mind, while viewing the gallery, that most people did it themselves at home, and didn't take any special pains to gloss it out! LOL But it's important to me, when I see the color name "Fishbowl" and I see the color of the bottle, to know EXACTLY what that color is going to look like, as far a hue range KWIM?

    Manic Panic has a gallery too, though, I just found it! And some of their colors GLOW under a black light! AWESOME!!!


    Oh and Starz Salon and Spa, where I get my color done, is 5.5 hours from my house LMAO! It was 10 minutes from me, before we moved, dammit! So, now, I plan my touch ups at the salon around whenever we are home visiting!

    @love
    I have checked the manic panic site out....love that they have a gallery, too.

    I found manic panic to work really well...brighter and brighter longer than the color from the salon. However, I'm always up for trying different brands. :-)

    I may end up bleaching my hair myself....which intimidates me. I really don't think the salon will be willing to bleach my whole head and dye it some crazy color. I tried lightening my hair before the vacation and the blonde hair dye I used barely made a dent in my dark brown hair. Eeeep!

    I love ebay and amazon. Also, old navy has plus sizes online that they don't carry in the stores.
