RETIRED The Official VS, Beauty & more Thread

GH, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I've never had an experience like that, but whenever someone really pisses me off, I ask their name on the spot. I think it's sort of a warning, since they know you may be able to complain. You may want to consider that in the future.

I think your letter is good, and I hope that you get results.

oh wow. Im so sorry! If the office is close, id go in in person and speak with the manager.

Sorry to hear about the rude treatment you received at your doctor's, GH. :comfort : She has no right to yell at you like that and tell you not to come back. Sounds like she overreacted to a simple mistake she made. :rolleyes :

Do you know if your doctor's office have a formal complaint form? Most hospitals/clinics do, and like nerdy, I'm a bit worried your email may get lost in the mailbox.

Also, maybe you could include the time and date of the incident and more physical description of the employee since you're not sure about her name. I hope this matter gets resolve soon. :hug :

My bbw only had 1 of the spray sunscreen! There were a bunch of the spf30 one but not the one gh recommended. : (

Anybody have an Express tier code they're not using. The one I have isn't working. I would be extremely grateful.

ETA: I placed my order. The $30 off $90 code Shom gave me worked. (Thanks again, Shom. ) I was afraid to wait for a better deal. I'd be so upset, if the dress I wanted so badly (alvs fav.) http://www.express.com/strapless-...iewed=true sold out. It's on sale now, & white is no longer available. I went ahead & ordered blue & green while I could. My DH liked the floral mesh ruched dress http://www.express.com/floral-mes.../index.pro, so I ordered it too. I'm going to try the black sequin skirt http://www.express.com/sequin-str.../index.pro again to see if it may be smaller than the S in the store. Hopefully, I'll get double points to get closer to FS. If I need to return anything, I can return it to the store, right? Do they reimburse you immediately or is it like VS where you have to wait for them to receive the merchandise in the warehouse for reimbursement?

I have a FS code you can use, if you want to order online. There's also a $10 off $40 coupon floating around. That's more than the price of shipping, but you'd have to order a filler. Let me know, if you want the FS code.

for vs, how do you know your account has been linked?

The way I could always tell was an order history disappearing....hope you escaped the wrath of the account combiner!!

refund is processed as soon as you return in the store.

thanks for the offer! i found them in a different (bigger) store just now. they had a bunch of them! (well, more than 10 at least) i went ahead and grabbed 4 of them, kuz i figured at 4 oz they will probably run out fast. i had 1 receipt that i actually called in for the survey, so i used that 10 off 30. : D they ended up only being 5 bucks each after all! plus i had a bbw gc. : ) i tried it on my arm and you're right, the smell is pleasant. i don't mind it much. : ) thanks again for the rec!

yay, glad you finally got to place an order! that strapless ruched dress looks like it's really made for large chested girls and is perfect for you guys! i love the new print - i'm going to order the maxi [express.com] in that print.

Reviews

Strappy-back tee dress [victoriassecret.com], M, paradise blue - This dress looked awful on me. The fabric is really thin and flimsy, you can pretty much see through it, even in blue. I'm by no means tiny, but I'm in pretty good shape, but this dress shows every flaw. It makes even panty lines look like bulges.

Curve-loving lace sleeve sweater [victoriassecret.com], M, black - I normally wear a S in tops, but sized up because I didn't want the lacing on the arms to tug and look too tight and I couldn't imagine the curve-loving styles looking boxy. I like it a lot. It fits well and the fabric is awesome. The cotton/modal/silk/nylon blend is so comfortable, stretchy and light, yet warm.

Curve-loving open-back sweater [victoriassecret.com], M, electric grape - They didn't have anything in S, so I ended up with a M in this too. It also fits well and is very flattering. It has the same great fabric as the lace sleeve sweater. I also love that they are a flat knit, rather than the ribbed knit of some of the other curve-loving styles.

Smocked tee [victoriassecret.com], S, black - I loved the fabric and the way it hung at the shoulders, but the sleeves looked kind of goofy and the smocked waist wanted to ride up to my natural waist.

Silk and cashmere open-back sweater [victoriassecret.com], S, scarlet red - The very first thing I noticed when I put this on was how short it was. That was a deal-killer right there. I also realized I am not a turtle-neck-wearing kind of person.

Open-back tunic top [victoriassecret.com], S, carbon - This was so cheap I had to try it. Also, I have an open-back tee from a year or two ago that I always get compliments on, so it must be a good style for me. The top part fits great, but it's loose around the bottom, even with my generous hips. I don't like how far it comes down. Even with my long torso, it comes just below my butt. I'm thinking about hemming it to normal shirt length, which would pretty much solve all my problems with it, but part of me doesn't want to alter a $4 shirt.

Daily legging [victoriassecret.com], L - I could have easily gotten away with a M. They were kind of baggy in the tummy and crotch areas. I got these in both the crop and 27'' and like the length on both. They were so cheap I'm probably just going to keep them. I can always use them as pajamas or extra layers for work in winter if they end up stretching out more.

Nice deal. I only had a $10 off $40, but I added way more than that anyway. I had to get my house smelling fragrant for my guests & it takes a lot of Wallflowers to accomplish that, with our open floor plan. I'm contemplating going back for more sunblock. As you said, 4 oz. doesn't last long.

That print is pretty. The maxi would look great on you. I considered buying the strapless dress in that print, but I'm not sure how it would look with my skin tone. You're making me wish I'd tried it anyway. They have it in white again today. If they don't sell out, I may order white & the new print, when there's a better deal.

yeah i almost forgot about the 10 off 30 on their receipts. i had a few receipts from the mothers day free travel size product giveaway. one SA actually took my receipt for my free product and ripped off the 10 off 30 - i guess it printed on all the receipts in may. i didn't even think i'd go back and use it during SAS but i realized i had them early june and called in for 1 and threw the rest away. now i wish i had kept them all.

i hope the maxi works - i'm not certain the shape is flattering for my figure, but i love the print. one reviewer said she's 5'8 and it's a perfect length for her with flats, but then someone else said she's 5'5 and got an xs and the length is perfect, so i'm hopeful. if it doesn't work out, maybe i'll get the strapless ruched dress in that print.

i just realized i may need to get one of those nubras for my wedding dress, if i have them build in a corset. i'm not sure where i can find one - i should probably get it before my appointments on sat. anyone know? does tjmaxx always have them, or is it by luck?

also, i'm glad they have the t-back racerback again! (called the pink heartbreaker racerback [victoriassecret.com]) i feel like the shape hides under some tanks better (i have 1 tank that's a t-strap and a regular racerback would show towards the band).
