Yay! woot

Hope you aren't feeling too sore. You'll have to fill us all in after you rest up. nod

Some tinted moisturizers have more coverage than others- this Neutrogena one has more coverage than some of my foundations nod

I REALLY like Jessica Simpson's shoes too. I don't like her though.
I'm not a big fan myself, but she can design some shoes. I never tried the Neutrogena, maybe I should check it out next time there is a CVS deal.

I of course argued that none of those are valid reasons to deny me my SRC.

And to think I'm going to end up going through that again because DS didn't get hers either! I plan on writing them a nice long letter when all of this is over. I see another very LONG VS hiatus in my future.
awww that is horrible!
i emailed them last night about 1 missing src, and they are sending me an email one. it sucks that they are giving you excuses! did you call or email?

it's not a very water-resistant product at all. and it rubs off like crazy. but it's actually got retinol in it - for a DS product that's pretty good! and i like the look of it on my face.
here [drugstore.com] it is just in case, so you know what we're talking about. Smilie

I wanted to say that I tried on the Fabulous in store. I really like it. I thought about Icey's comparison to the Sexy Tee when I was trying it on and I think both fit well, but I like the Fabulous. There's quite a bit of padding not only on the bottom but on the sides as well. It's a less dramatic Miraculous bra. I will be getting the bra sometime in the future.


Quote from GoHeels :
What do you all think about the BioFit 7-way Bra? I ordered it, because it was on clearance for $19.99 in a pink color. Plus, I really need a versatile bra, especially a good strapless. I'm just not sure about this one. I've only tried it on & haven't tried it under clothing. I can't decide if I like it, & don't want to wear it for the day, in case I decide to return it. I need a strapless with good support. Do you all thing this bra is good for that?
I like this bra. I've only worn it a handful of times, but it works well as a strapless. But maybe someone may have more input.

Sorry this happened, it's always so infuriating dealing with VS CS!

That could be a problem living in Florida in the heat and humidity come summertime. Not that I spend too much time outside in the summer here. Stick Out Tongue I still may check it out. I just want something lighter feeling than a foundation that I can dab and go but also helps fade these two acne marks. Is that too much to ask???? laugh out loud

I called but I just told DS to email because no one wants to have to argue things by phone. It's too hard to stay calm and polite.nod

By the way I've probably made like 20 returns for orders that were made in the past 6 years and I probably made a hundred orders!

It just really bothered me because I know they don't really ever have a reason for not putting the SRC in the package. It's just something that they do and this particular CS rep wanted there to be a reason so badly that she decided to nitpick about it.

Somebody tell me what to order at VS. I've ordered so much this month I can't find anything I want to get the umbrella. Embarrassment Maybe, I'm just not in a shopping mood. Dontknow

Quote from annicus :
i tried thisnail polish [sephora.com]. it's the weirdest thing! after it dries, it really does smell like perfume. i wonder how long the scent lasts...

if i liked that hot pink color i would definitely have gotten that polish. (i guess i'm not a huge fan of the scent either - if it were a different color and scent... :lo l: but the concept is SO COOL!!)
I've never seen polish like that. It is a good idea. If it sells well, someone else will market it soon.

Quote from Stardust42 :
Yes, some orders might take longer because of different shipping carrier. For me, packages shipped using UPS would be stuck at "processed" a bit longer than the ones using USPS.
Thanks for the info. That's good to know. The package that has shipped was sent via UPS. It could vary on which carrier is shipped out first. I wish they'd get them on the way, so I don't have to keep checking.

I'm glad you liked the fabulous bra. The USPS shipping info on my bra was never uploaded, but it should be here soon.

Thanks for the review of the Biofit bra. That's encouraging. I really do need a good strapless, so I think I'll keep it. I definitely couldn't beat the price.

Awesome! I ordered it in a Coral color, actually the one on the model! Smilie I think it'll look nice with my dark hair. I was happy to see it on clearance, it's such a cute design. I can show cleavage without it being too overbearing. bounce

Clearance bras aren't adding to the total for the umbrella. Are any of the clearance items working?

nod since it's padded I don't wear a bra with it, so it's not like ridiculous cleavage in the keyhole, but it's still a little skimpy.

i meant to chime in on the bb cream question - i have super sensitive skin (i think it's sensitive to dimethicone and it definitely hates alcohol - there's prob a lot of other stuff that it doesn't like also) and the missha perfect cover irritates it. i don't break out, but i start to get red bumps on my cheeks (right under my eyes) by the end of the day. i also got the missha signature one that's a little more expensive - that one does not irritate my cheeks. however, i think both of those clog my pores a bit - i can't wear them on a daily basis bc i get clogs on my nose. the missha perfect cover also has a grey undertone and takes awhile for it to oxidize. the signature is not as grey, but still has that same tone.
I probably do not need this since I still have no idea what it is...BUT what does one need BB Cream for?


Quote from azn1x6flame :
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!
Not into prints, but I am loving the swimwear this season. I already purchased many pieces. I could not wait.

At least you had more info for your review. I just put it on and was like "fabulous? no!" and took it off.

Revlon has nail enamel that is scented when dry for at least a year. I have never tried it though.

I usually don't like prints either, but something about a few of this year's suit's catching my eye.

HAHA to the commentary about the Fabulous. I don't know if it makes me feel Fabulous, but I really like it

Waiting for these SRC is killing me. I want to know already!! I've got my eye on the new Fabulous bra, I need an Angels bra in black, Ruched T dress in blue [victoriassecret.com], I like the Little T dresses in colors and the zebra print [victoriassecret.com] but don't know if DH would go for that one. I love an animal print, he does not. Teehee I love those keyhole tops but am worried about the bra top aspect. Bra tops never fit me right. Sadwalk

I've got the Revlon polish that is scented but haven't used it yet. I opened the bottle and there is a light scent of Lilac. Haven't used it yet because I'm still into my denim blue. I think I'll try it this weekend. Girly

Quote from IceyNiki :

From what I read it is supposed to be an all in one. It's supposed to provide coverage, fade dark spots/scars, even skin tone, and has spf.
