The only model I did not recognize, but thought should be signed by VS was Lais Ribeiro--->Attachment 811504.

Did you see Izabel walk in the show this year--->Attachment 811506

I think Izabel, Marissa Miller and Selita Ebanks all left VS before their time. I did not really care for Selita, but I feel like she did not leave on top as Heidi and Tyra. Of all three, Marissa probably left in the best position.

Candice looks very different without blonde hair. Better as a blonde.

I forgot...Anne Vyalitsina and Adam Levine were so cute. I loved it.
Yes! I saw Izabel. Her outfit was cute!! But I don't think Izabel, Marisa and Selita had the presence. I mean, I liked them though. And they left so soon! Darn VS for not renewing their contract. I hope they don't renew these new girls

They usually do not bring everyone on as catalogue models. I think they said it was 15 new models that walked this year. Selita was all over the catalogues, I think, to pick up where Tyra left off. However, that was a bust. She did not have IT. I was surprised that Marissa and Izabel left. They were a good fit for VS. Miss them. I do not miss Heidi and Tyra any longer. I feel that Adriana and Alessandra stepped up after their departures. If A & A were to leave now, I do not know if Candice and Miranda are strong enough to be as fierce as they would need to be. Miranda has a baby face to me. Cutesy, but not sexy.

yes! i heart shady lady vol 2. i use insane jane almost every day! it's very different from the stila palette imo.

have you tried cargo bluray blushes? those are really nice - i have it in pink (but both look to be about the same [makeupalley.com] in shade). also i've heard great stuff about regular cargo blushes.

i haven't! is it magical? Coverlaugh and Wave haven't seen you around for awhile!

i did finally get the onebase - i like it! i got a shade lighter than i originally thought (the darker one looked orange on me), and i bought it at sephora in jcp instead of on bloom kuz i figured it'd be easier to return, but i won't be returning it! i like using it just under my eyes and on my nose/cheek area next to nose (where i get redness).

Can BBW online purchases be exchanged in store? Both of the Aromatherapy lotions I ordered arrived with broken wands on the pump.

Quote from s2000stealthbox :
I'm going to my cousin's sweet sixteen party next weekend in nyc, and I wanted to know what you thought of the following gift:

I ordered her a Clinique smoothie kisses lip gloss set (I was also going to give her that silver gwp clinique had last month) and I was going to buy her a bling Pink hoodie/pants set during the holiday event on Sunday and include the VS black friday tote bag. Does that sound like a good gift? Is there anything else I should include. I thought of also getting her a DSW giftcard so she could pick something out also.

I'm 30 so I don't really know what to get kids her age. Also, its going to be a huge party at some expensive county club, kinda like the mtv sweet sixteen parties, so I want the gift to be nice.

I normally always give cash, but I didn't want to in this case, because when I was a kid my parents would always take the cash and put in my bank account so it was like I didn't even get anything!
This is an incredible gift. She should love it.

more reviews:
Thermal slipper [victoriassecret.com]-Looks like they actually only have 3 sizes, and size L is suppose to be for 9-10 feet but I'm a size 8.5 and it bunches my toes a little bit. So size up.

Curve-loving V-neck sweater [victoriassecret.com]- Got this in size small in candle light rose. I like the really long sleeves this sweater has and it looks pretty nice on. The color doesn't really match the swatch they have on the site though, it looks more like a brown in person than a slighlty purple grey.

Dreamer flannel Pajama [victoriassecret.com] in small and pink metallic stripe. This year the waist band is a bit different than last years and one weird detail that you can't see in the pics is that the pants have fake buttons on the front as if they were boy's PJs. As ifthe wearer might need to whip it open in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I didn't find that detail endearing but others might.
Thanks for the reviews.

I haven't tried it either, just touched it laugh out loud I didn't know if you had bought it with all your Cargo purchases lately. I like Onebase too!! bounce I love all the Cargo products I've tried except for the mattifier and waterproof mascara. The regular blushes are really nice.

and Wave I am still reading and keeping up with the thread but don't have much to post about because I haven't been buying much!

Went to VS. Did not get the Pink panty in yet, and already out of the VS free one--only received 10. Shame on you, VS. . .
Censored 10 is just stupid.
Quote from IceyNiki :
Did anyone watch the fashion show? I watched just now for the first time. It was cute...
I just watched it online- wished I had seen it on regular TV b/c the streaming is low quality and I can't adjust it. I liked the different themes. "Aqua Angels" was cute, but I'm not sure why they didn't use bubbles as a prop or in the design. The super hero thing was neat, but felt kind of out of place. As far as musician's, I liked everyone's interaction with the models except Nikki Minaj, she kind of seemed put off by them.
Quote from annicus :
Iagree about doutzen - she looks much prettier on tv than she does in the catalogs. i appreciate that she's not stick thin and looks muscular - i feel like vs is moving towards more stick thin models (i.e. all the new girls look 10 ft tall and 100 lbs) but the older crew look healthier. except candice whose waist is so teeny now!
I liked the muscular look too

nod I really like how they closed the show with Alessandra and Adriana leading the lines!

I don't like these new Angels (ESPECIALLY Erin and Lily). They don't have the presence of Gisele Bundchen, Karolina Kurkova, Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks.

I really like Izabel Goulart too, but too bad she's no longer an angel. I remember when she first came on the scene, she looked so much like Alessandra!


Candice looked healthier before VS [goddessmag.com]


I like Doutzen she speaks - she's soo pretty and very composed, not trying too hard. I think she said she was heading in the way of being a pro speed skater or something?? So that probably is why her physique is the way it is.
It seems they chose the models, after Candice, by looking at pics from the neck down. There's more to looking good than being tall & skinny.

Thanks. Smilie That's easier than contacting them & waiting for replacements. At least, you can see they're not broken.

I don't really like most catalogue models except the Angels. There was a girl who was really pretty, but I don't know who she is.

Yeah, I think Alessandra and Adriana had to step it up. I think that they should allow Alessandra to open up a show. I remember she said she never had the chance! Nor to wear the Fantasy Bra! I think she's missing ommph!

Just in case anyone was interested in getting the dogs in stores, they seem to be selling out quickly in certain stores. I went to VS on Monday to get the dogs and they had bins of them everywhere. I went to VS again today (to get the pink nation panty) and they only had 5 left displayed on the counter. The sales associate said that all the dogs sold out at that location and the next closest one. That's crazy!

The pink nation panty is very glittery. Little black flakes of glitter were everywhere! The store I went to also ran out of the cotton fashion show panty.

I agreeeeeee to the ten billionth degree. ESPECIALLY Erin and Lily. I see them & think to myself that they must have amazing connections in the industry... same thing with Chanel. Just not supermodels IMHO.
