For those of you who have done in store returns for VS.com items, have you ever had the issue that the tracking number they provided you not work? I just tried tracking my return with the tracking number they gave me, but there is no record of my package. If this has happened to anyone, has your return arrived safely to the return warehouse? Any advice is welcome. TIA

Gals, I am swooning over some of this year's bikini prints!! Loving the jungle prints : woot: It's so hard to hold off and wait for the summer sale. I've waited around for the 20% off spring sale, and goodness, it's not much of a sale compared to before!
Good luck alvs!

I'm rather fair-skinned and have very unpigmented lips. I love the look of lipstains and usually apply them over lip balm because otherwise, they dry out my lips. (Lipstick is too heavy/waxy for me and I tend to lean more toward natural-looking make-up than going all-out and being "made-up"). Inevitably, though, the pigment sort of "shifts" and after a little while, the middle part of my lips have only a little color left while the outer rim of my lips is still stained. So my mouth always ends up looking weird--pale in the middle, colored around the edges.
I'm looking for some sort of lip color that gives a "wash" of pigment, preferably with a little shine, but that won't melt away after a couple hours. (I'm not good at doing touch-ups; I get too distracted.) Lip glosses are OK but usually too sheer and sticky for my liking. So I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions? A little "pop" of color really brightens up my face versus just using clear lip balm, which makes me look wicked pale. Even more than normal.

I recommend going to a makeup counter and seeing what they have to offer and maybe trying a couple things out to see what colors and formulas work for you. I recommend trying something on, walking around the mall to shop for a while and then if it meets your standards make a decision. Don't let a sales associate push you into anything. Between Estee, Lancome and Clinique, you will probably find something you love. But again, I'm not sure how much you're willing to spend. I am obsessed with Estee's double wear products and have never been disappointed.
I have nooooo clue about drugstore brands as I usually have horrible luck with their lip products.
I hope you find something that works out for you!

I think if you apply the stain over balm, it doesn't really "sink in" to your lips and does not last as long.
Good luck Alvsy!! I'll be thinking of you!!!!

That's all I can think of for now - sorry I can't be of more help!
