I have been trying "wipes" from Sephora, Target, etc. None of them, so far, have even come close to the SKINN wipes. All I have tried are alot drier (not wet) so obviously they don't clean as well. The Olive-Enzyme formula is non-irritating and very effective. I thought some of them like JM would at least be comparable in quality but I have not discovered any that are even comparable in quality.

Okay, Happy Birthday Dimitri, BUT shame on Evine for not offering reduced s/h during this special visit. 6.99 is just too much to pay for ordering several things. It really adds to the total when it all is shipped in the same box. 

Guess my purchase from HL will tide me over for a bit, and they only charge one flat fee or zero for shipping if, the order is over $100.

No reduced shipping=no sale! And this is my non-negotiable.

Hello Dazzlers! I was working the late shift and missed D's birthday shows but I did DVR them and watching now...intrigued by the flash flood but with 6.99 shipping...they lost me...love how he noted they de-odorized the biological smell of the YPC elite...it still does not look or feel as luxurious as the prior version ( I have one of each open and using) The 6.99 shipping is just RUINING this visit! It is HIS BIRTHDAY EVINE!!!! Offer 2.99 or free shipping FFS! just can't with them (Evine) any longer...just infuriates me that they take their top line and are sabotaging it by trying to get 6.99 per item when we all know they toss all the orders into one box and ship it for pennies on the dollar...the new mascara ALMOST got me...I will search it out on Ebay later...Karen's lashes looked great after he did the one eye (echoes of Mally LOL) I looked at the ingredients and it has some good lash growing serum items so it is on my list...

I will be around Saturday afternoon providing commentary on the shows( after some rest lol)...wish he would offer more spoilers about future items... I heard him tell Lynn he was meeting in NYC to tell all the top beauty editors about this years "already planned out" lines after this visit then off to launch the UK...Can't wait for April and the Huile Vitale cream he spoiled last month!!!

OK enough ranting for now lol see ya all later today

I've been complaing about the 6.99 shipping to Dimitri several times now. They answer back that Evine sets the price. I am sure they do but since he is their top seller I also think he knows customers won't buy as much due to that so he can influence them to lower it or his company can absorb some of the cost. I tried to calculate one day how much he brought in just for his TTV's not even counting the rest of what he sold and it was in the millions.

So what I saw Evine do is a couple days before his shows they often have 4.99 shipping but no easy pay, then when  he's here, they give easy pay but jack up the shipping to 6.99. They give with one hand and take away with the other.

With that said I just saw this set 306-175 2 chin-up for 34.00 and 4.99 shipping so I am going to jump in for this. That is his one product I always want in my cupboard.

Hey there @60sgirl! I wrote a reply on the Isomers thread regarding dry skin that you should read since I think you are also dry skinned like me...as I stated in my post, the 6.99 ship is ludicrous noting they let other beauty brands ship FREE or for 2.99/3.49...it seems they are PUNISHING us for being loyal shoppers and that is the first way to make us not loyal any longer...I am fed up with Evine's shipping to the point of only buying on Ebay/Hautelook/Zulilly and even Skinn's website has better shipping (not better for most products tho :womanmad We need to stage a revolt and none of us order for a visit to send a CLEAR MESSAGE to Evine! It stinks because they have so many new customers that order each month they may never notice us not buying...but D will... he has had 4 TTV's not sell out (just his DWP with the capsules sold out!) on his visits and I am sure that speaks VOLUMES!

@Krissy_1968 Hi Krissy. yes agree about the protest. 6.99 to ship one product that could fit in an envelope is ludicrous. I can't even remember the last time they had something ship with free S&H. HSN does entire beauty days of free shipping. 

The other thing Evine has not addressed and I have contacted them 2x about is this: they "sell" the tinted orchid gel as a single product for 24.00 but when you click on it the only one available is brightside, none of the colors have been available for months and months, yet then they also sell the brightside alone for 21.00 last time I looked. I have wanted the tinted in dark forever because in the summer I don't need any foundation but this gel blurs the pores and adds enough color to look really nice and golden. I emailed Skinn and they did not respond. Why does Evine bother to have this product on their website since they don't carry the tinted ones, except in a kit with the cotton foundations. I'm too dry for those anymore although I did like them a few years ago, but now can't. 

I'll look at the Isomers thread again. thanks

Hi @60sgirl I am not sure he still makes the tinted orchid gels other than "brightside" which is really a highlighter primer...my cousin lived and died by his medium tint orchid gel(she still is hoarding the little she has left) and I bought it for her for a few years off Evine...then at Haute look... now I haven't seen it offered so that makes me think he stopped production on it...we must tell him on his Facebook page!!!

speaking of Facebook,you should join us on the Dimitri Dazzlers group page on FB! A great group that sells, trades and gifts lots of D's products...I created a FB name that matched the one here and I used a throw away email to sign up...it is worth it as you will find many friends from here there... anyhow... if I had a tinted orchid gel it would be yours ( I prefer his purple one) but als I don't have any  Check Ebay some may still be around and I will message him on FB to req he brings them back!

I'm convinced SKINN never answers their emails. Even if they're complimentary. He must just be all about FB now.

Didn't you find that Orchid Gel didn't last half a day?

@Chisos The Beekman Bros. brand has some good wipes. If you get one that isn't heavily scented. Check the reviews. They had four packs for 20 dollars and free shipping, but I don't know if it's still on. This is about the cheapest thing they offer. SOOOO overpriced.
