RETIRED The Official VS, Beauty & more Thread

did you just get back from it?

the only thing i like about the holidays and the mall is that they're open when you wouldn't think so... like at 9pm on a sunday. i had to do some last-minute shopping for my mom and was able to get it all done last night at 9... it was relatively empty in the mall, and i got a great deal! she wanted me to get some inexpensive long-sleeve polos for my dad. i got 6 of them from jcp, all for $40 + tax! i was able to get them to pm their website (i leave in 2 days so i needed to buy them in-store, not online) and also apply the 10 off 30 mobile code twice (me and dbf). he prob won't like them all, but hopefully he likes some - i'll just return the rest. it was great deal-shopping in a bind.


... and now it's fp. (might be another duplicate thread) hurry up guys!

then it's not as good of a deal for you. i don't ever get to use those myself. that's why i haven't pulled the trigger.

I wish I saw your post before I purchased. What DID make me purchase was the type of material - it's modal, my favorite. I wanted to go for a second one, for the purple, but I don't have anymore SRCs and don't know if there will be any in my upcoming packages. Hopefully 4 more before FS ends! But I don't know if any of the cami colors would be left!

With that deal on FP already I think A) GWP will be soldout soon B) VS might take out cami from promo like they did with slipper socks. So if you want to order it do it ASAP.




I ordered Red one - atleast it looks X-masy

that's what i'm eyeing. is small the right size for me?

then it's all good... you really wanted the cami anyway.

azn - just looked at fb and how can you say you're not thin? u look really good in ur holiday party pic! love the red!

But I didn't NEED it! Been planning to gift all those fragrance sets, except, from the years past, they don't have some of the perfumes anymore!

Thanks for the link. Our team is not available. I am not sure she would like it though. Hopefully, Target will release another GC Q this week. I do not really want to do it, but I usually can find something there.

I have enough free GWP's coming, I can actually take back the individual items I bought in store for the girls at work. They are getting lip gloss and perfume sets now

I have nothing to do so I figured now would be a good time to do reviews!


Lightly Padded Knot-front Bra Top
http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper Got this in gray. It's cute but a lot of my weight gain is in my shoulders/back and I found this to be made narrow there and loose everywhere else. Return

Sexy Lace Inset Tee
http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper Bought this one in the green color. It's really cute! Runs TTS, I got a size bigger than necessary because I was afraid it wouldn't be stretchy but it is. The size I have will work, it just isn't skin tight. Nice spin on the classic turtleneck. Keep!

Body Tee Ruched Front V-Neck Tee
http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper Cute enough. Super long! I can wear it with tights and not worry about my butt showing or anything. It's probably the longest tunic I own. I got the light heather so it's really casual but if you get black you can probably sex it up if the stitching isn't contrast. I wish it had some more structure/shape on the sides because I'm not shapely but that's my fault V is deep but can be pulled up enough to be appropriate in most situations. Keep!

Body Tee Ruched Faux Wrap Tee
http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper
Not as long as the other tunic to me but still nice and long. I own 2 of these. They run TTS. I bought black last year and loved it because it can be casual or semi-dressy so I went with red hoping for the same thing but the stitching is black so it ends up looking casual anyway. The V neck is super deep so some people might want to wear a cami under it. Still Keep! Also both body tees are lightweight, soft, stretchy, and have small ribbed lines. Sort of like the old Ultimate Tees but softer.

Flirty Cardi Sweater
http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper Got this in the green color too. Always wanted a green flowy open cardi. Because this is shorter than the Cotton/Cashmere Wrap I like it better. It still has no shape but it's soft. The color is nice, and it is neither thick nor thin.Runs TTS. Keep!

Cotton Cross Front Sweater
http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper Blonde Heather has literally 1 random pink spot in it which I found funny. It is SUPER thin. I mean seriously VS this is barely a sweater! It's like the old featherweight sweaters but it isn't ribbed the same way those were. It is TTS but um you probably need to have large busts to fill it out perfectly or a great pushup/padded bra which I have but I'm still not sure about this thin thing. It isn't long but it isn't short. Hits about 2 inches below my belt and I'm 5'4 or so. It is soft, but I don't know. I expected more...thought it would feel more like the flirty cardi.

Ruched Tunic Sweater
http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...earch=true Went with the red on this one. Fits TTS, very long, again SUPER thin. V-neck is so deep that it is almost off the shoulder. Red is nice and bright. Sweater isn't as soft as any of the others and the sleeve ruching is a little extreme but I still like it. As long as you don't plan on being warm it is a cute top. Was glad to see that they aren't all metallic. Keep!

thanks daisy and whitecastle.. i have a two-day event, and they will need an outfit for each.. i am trying to keep the first day outfit to 100 or less (sari) and the second day outfit to 150 or less (american bridesmaid outfit). I was thinking that since some of the girls are not indian, i should pay for the sari.. it would save them money on an outfit they would not wear again and serve as a memento.. but the wristlets are so cute...

I'll do some reviews too

oversized burn out tee [victoriassecret.com]
looks cute online, but was boxy and the material was stiff irl. return.

tie cardigan sweater [victoriassecret.com]
was a little too big in the shoulders and overall width for me. smelled really musty too. return.

kate bootcut pant [victoriassecret.com]
well fitting for a dress pant, but waist was still a bit big. still deciding whether to keep or return.

double breasted peacoat [victoriassecret.com]
bought in size S for my mom in rojo red. the color is pretty, but the material was not very good--felt very cheap, plus it wouldn't be warm enough for ohio winters. return.

silk henley [victoriassecret.com]
very well made and the color (white) is bright and pretty, but it's just too big. sadly, it's a return.

destroyed denim shirt [victoriassecret.com]
was looking for a denim chambray shirt, and this looked like it was close enough to satisfy my lemming. well made, and material is very good--but a little heavy. the button placement is weird though, since it's on the other side of the shirt (but that's just me being nit picky). keep.

it is super duper huge! but you're right, it's soooooo soft. i guess it's an 'oversized tee'... i didn't realize this before. also, be prepared to find glitter everywhere - i threw mine in the wash and everything i washed it with has a bit of glitter in it. free bedazzling.

To all curve loving sweater owners- How long it is? From pic I am unable to decide its length. I am 5'5" but i dont like short sweaters

i'm about the same height liggy - i got the v-neck and while it's a little shorter than the cotton thermal sweaters, it's by no means a bare midriff. it hits about an inch or 2 shorter than the cotton thermal ones i think. i don't like short sweaters either but i didn't think it was too short - it just didn't flatter my body so i put it aside to wear "later", when i lose some weight (hah!).

i'm hoping i'll actually be able to stick to a diet/exercise regime this coming year kuz i'll be planning a wedding and will thus need to fit into a dress - white is not a slimming color. tho so far i have failed... and i'm going to asia in 2 days and don't plan on dieting on my trip...

I kept asking DH for almost every month or two last year if he thought I am putting on weight he said no every time. then suddenly one day when i was busy doing something he comes up and says I think you look FAT

I missed out on that deal..Hm...does anyone know or have that cami in the dream blue? Just want to make sure that color is nice! Not sure if I should jump on it. I haven't used my 2 Fragrance wheels, 2 fragrance sets, and 1 very old fragrance set....but I don't mind having a cami

BTW, I just received the infamous cami. Love it. So cute and very soft. Going to order another one and you should too.

PS. Dec. 6 orders had SRCs in them.

Thanks for reviewing just one time i stopped after ordering 2 because I was confused how it would be. Is it TTS ?

Thank yall. I will tell my DH that you all sent s and s for him
