I know. It's because I've been undecided. It's ok but I don't love it. I just don't want people influencing me when I'm trying to make up my mind if I like something or not. I'll take a pic before I get it redone. I need to get an appointment asap. Going to Colorado and then I have surgery at the end of the month!

Thanks for the Loft code, they have really cheap tights in the clearance accessories section!
I bought a few sweaters. They were $12.88 before the code! I'll put them up for next fall!

It seemed like all the really cheap clothes were in size XXS-XS...Loft clothes run big on me but not that big! I'd say you are lucky to be tiny but I know you exercise, so good job on being small enough to get those deals laugh out loud

oh hey girls, I finally removed that Hard Candy nail color after 6 days. One of my nails was starting to break so I trimmed that and a few more, and after that, they started to chip a little bit. I'm trying an Orly polish next, and I have always had good luck with Orly polishes- one of them usually lasts 5-7 days, can't imagine how long it will last with the sticky sandwich Teehee

hot roller tutorial [youtube.com] - with my set of rollers! so it IS possible to have nice big bouncy curls with my set... Smilie i will have to re-try that!

azn - i would think you could just return for store credit, but i haven't tried it yet so i don't know. you could always say you got it as a gift but you don't want it.

aya - i looked at loft last night and was pretty sad about all the final sale items being oos or xxs. i was thinking i should have looked at it earlier! Doh hehe oh well.

Any of you girls experienced a problem with Estee Lauder GWP from Macy's? They recently have a promotion that's still ongoing. At checkout, I selected Timezone, but I received some makeup set instead. This is for my mom and she doesn't use makeup.

I spent 30 minutes on the phone with a CSR today that said all GWP UPCs are the same, so I got something I shouldn't have got. After all this back and forth, they told me to go instore to change it because my local Macy's has the most Time Zone in stock.

I go today, and viola! They tell me they don't have it!! WTF Mad

Now I want to return the item and have nothing to do with Macy's. Have you girls returned the item and kept the GWP? That's my plan after all the crap they put me through.

If not, can I try to return it without receipt? I paid with GC and I don't mind store credit. Would I get store credit?

you cant get store credit at EL Macy's without the sticker. I tried doing that before claiming it was a gift and they said they don't take anything back without a Macy's sticker. Im not sure about keeping the gwp if you return with the online receipt since they tell you beforehand if you fall below the qualifying purchase amt they will charge your account.

Can u ask Macy's cs to send you the right product instead since your local store doesn't carry it?

Thanks girls.

I did ask that the CSR send me the right item, but she said she can't because I will probably get something random. That's just how their UPC system is set up Crazy I am already hating Macy's already

Try emailing them. I got a damaged gwp cosmetic bag before n I emailed them to send a replacement. It was easy n painless. Maybe you'll have better luck with a different person

Quote from GirlOnTheBeach :
GH, Most of mine are from the "miracle bra' collection. I have both the wireless push up halter and the regular push up tankini top....and I like those both a lot, but I feel a tad less secure in the halter one, probably due to the tie-back straps. I also love the fact that they come in long lengths because I have a crazy long torso. I really want to try the 'forever sexy' push up halter tankini. Looks super cute! http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper
Blue paisley is really pretty. They don't have my actual bra size, so I'm not sure what to order. I wear a 34DD. Should I order 36D or 34D?

Quote from dimi :
I love tankinis too, usually they're very flattering. The one I own which I like the most is from Marshalls.
Thanks for the tip. I'll look at Marshalls the next time I'm out.

Quote from Tizzylicious :
Another tankini lover here! I have a couple of the Bisou Bisou Tankini [jcpenney.com] with the side tie skirts, so I can make it as revealing as I want.

Went to VS tonight to return that neon pink BBV bra and tried on the Dream Angels, DH might have a new favorite! ; )

I checked out the Miraculous, it's like 2 shoulder pads glued together and shoved in a cup! That was some serious padding! :omg :
I love that set. Coral looks like the only color that would work for my skin tone. I may need to look for it in the store instead of ordering online. I don't know how my size now would translate to S, M, L. Embarrassment Ordering online is so much easier though.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
The brightest pink that burns your retina :lol : I just got that color in the ruched scoopneck top in clearance. It's a shocker alright.
I'm so afraid palettes will break. I bring my UD Ammo or Naked b/c those are the only small UD's I have, the rest are BOS. If I don't bring Naked, then I bring my Elizabeth Arden mini palette that has 3 neutrals and a highlighter. For the wedding, I'll probably bring all the mini palettes, Nakeds and my UD creme shadows. I am not contaminating my BOS' for girls I don't know. :tongue : SPeaking of... just got the tab for the dress today $174.xx for a short dress... and I am told that because they are all different lengths (all short, mind you), we are paying to get them all hemmed as well. There are 2 layers of chiffon...yike$.
: ( Bummer. I usually buy them in the clearance section, so I don't have experience with how often codes work on them. What is up with that? I'm looking for a size for my quasi-SIL and that size just goes OOS constantly... How annoying that must be! Also, I might have missed it , but how did the wedding go? Were you able to save the day?
I believe I owe you a :hapybday : ! I pack 1 suit per day : D Also, I just bought the cheeky hipkini, but am a little intimidated by it... We'll see if my cheeks ever see the light of day.
:teehee :I agree!
The dress has to hit each girl at the same spot on their legs? That's a bit much. Is the dress at least pretty & something you would wear again? I hope so for that price.

The wedding went well. The bride allowed us to "add color" to the cones. We covered them in tulle & added beads. Evil I felt bad that she ended up with so few roses for her bouquet, but she was the one who chose how to use them. She didn't seem to mind. As with every wedding, a few things didn't work out as planned. Fortunately, we were able to devise acceptable substitutes, before the guests arrived.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to look for the code & details. I wasn't even thinking about swimsuits, until Icey brought it up.

Super small people in this country should have all kinds of choices. There aren't many of them. laugh out loud

Let us know how Orly works with that method. I'm going to try that the next time I paint my nails.

I think your set will be fine, when you leave them in longer. Using a volumizing mousse, before drying your hair, will help the curl stay in longer & give you better results.

Macy's has never sent me a random GWP. I've always gotten what I selected. It sounds like that woman was clueless. I agree with wolfie. I've had good luck via emails.

Thanks. Did you guys just respond to the order conf email or looked for a different contact one on their site? I had a hard time just trying to get through to a CSR. I want to be able to attach my screen shot that I took of my order conf.

Macy's has an option under Contact Us for Wrong Item Received. I would try that. When I click on the GWP link in my confirmation email, it shows which option I selected. Does your confirmation have the correct GWP linked? If so, all they should need is your confirmation number. Unfortunately, I don't know how to include a screen shot. Sorry

At the bottom of your confirm email there's a contact us link.
I think you can just email them your problem. They should be able to see the order details from their end.

That would be the one. It was just too bright for my pale skin. On the bright side I was able to try on a few new bras at VS and found I love the Angels collection. look around

Her hair is beautiful! I would kill for hair like that! I heard good things about this set of rollers. My hair is thin, but I have a lot of it, wonder if those pins would hold for me? Scratchhead

I would try it on in store. The top has the cups sort of built in so you would need to see if you fill them right. Wink

For hot rollers, clips are easier to work with. I've used pins many times though. Occasionally, you have to rewind the hair on the rollers to get it all to stay. It's not a big deal, if the roller itself is a good fit for your hair. I've found certain types of rollers work better for my hair than others do. It depends on the hair type.

I checked & my JCPenney's has that set in stock. I'm going to try it in store or have my DH pick up 2 sizes & return the one that doesn't fit. I know, I'm evil to him. Blush
