RETIRED - The Official VS, Express, Beauty & more Thread

I LOVE this dress! I hope it ships for you! I have it in three colors!

Also, I'm envious of your cosmetic organizing system. It looks FANTASTIC!

this happens to me once in awhile - it just means they forgot to scan it at the processing center. i'm sure they miss some of the packages considering there's so many going through.

what i do is, i highlight the border of the delivery confirmation tracking bar code area with green highlighter. i've been doing this ever since i read about it somewhere (could it have been here?). i feel like it reminds them that there's a delivery confirmation bar code to scan (and it also looks like the DC they have in the post office).

hopefully it gets scanned in at the receiving post office so you see the activity soon! hang in there... i know how frustrating it can be...

seeing kurpee's photos made me realize i need more drawer organizers. my stuff is in such disarray right now.

i also need more custom palettes - the 3 that i have are full. i just depotted a too faced palette (so much better! it was so bulky before that i never used it) last night. super easy to pull away the cardboard (as opposed to UD which was stuck together VERRRY well), but the pans aren't a metal that sticks to magnet! i had to use magnets and the ones that i found aren't very good. boo. why don't they use metal pans??

Since they came from palettes that weren't intended to be used with magnets, there could be a few reasons. Most likely they are aluminum, which would cut down on weight. There is a small chance they could be 300 series stainless steal (food grade) which is corrosion-resistant and is safer (used for body jewelry, cookware, etc.).

all the other palettes i've depotted were in regular magnetic metal pans (stila, UD, lancome, cargo, R&R, physician's formula, etc)... the only other ones i've encountered that aren't magnetic are japanese ones. they feel like aluminum - they feel cheap! i don't like it.

the 0 is a little big but i decided to keep that and still have the relaxed fit. it falls some on me, but it has been that way. i don't think it stretched or shrunk.

Reviews

flirty skirt [victoriassecret.com], L, carbon - I should have gotten a M, but I'm not unhappy with the way it fits. It is longer than I was expecting. It comes almost to my knees, but this could be because it is sitting lower than it should. It's cute and comfortable and for the price it is a great little skirt.

crochet trim skirt [victoriassecret.com], L, wild watermellon - I could have gotten away with a M in this too, but I really like how the L fits. The solid fabric part comes to about mid-thigh and the trim adds another 2 inches. This is such a nice summer skirt, I'm thinking of getting another.

crochet lace tee [victoriassecret.com], S, black - I got this as a cover-up. It fits well and is less see-through than I thought it would be, except across the bust where it is more stretched out. If I wore a black bra and didn't care as much, I could probably get away with it as a normal shirt.

cross-front top [victoriassecret.com], M, emerald - I thought this shirt looked so neat, I had to try it. The fabric is very thin and doesn't keeps it's shape at all, plus it feels like it would snag easily. The M was way too big too and the straps seemed too long, which is almost never a problem for me. Definitely not worth the money with the poor fit and cheap fabric.

cowlback top [victoriassecret.com], S, pecan praline - This was almost a great top. The back looks just like it does in the picture. The front, however, did not work for me at all. It has seams at the bust that don't hit where they are supposed to. The seam that looks like it should be under the bust falls dead center on me. This would probably be great for somebody with normal-sized boobs.

my clearance dress got cancelled : (

After kurpee's Express experience this week, I'm considering having my DH place an online order in store. How would I assure the jeans I know I like are the jeans that are entered last, so they are the reduced price? Do you place the order yourself, or do you dictate it to the CS agent? If I can't guarantee they're entering items in the order I want them, I'll place the order from home. Also, will they add the online code to the order? It seems much more complicated to place the order in the store, if the employee has to place it. I just thought I'd help them out, if I can.

Could someone who got the black/white striped ruched dress please do me a big favor? I tried mine on last night. As everyone said, it's very flattering & creates an hourglass figure. Like others mentioned, the 6 is snug in the chest area. They really cut that dress small. Anyway, the chest area looks awkward. I'm thinking the fact that it was a return may be the reason. The hook is damaged too, but I can fix it. It would be awesome, if someone would take a close-up pic in the chest area of them in this dress, so I can see what it's supposed to look like. The thumbnail pic in my order history is too small for me to tell. It's the most flattering dress I've ordered, so I want to try to fix it.

this is why as much as i want to help the store, it will be a lot of inconvenience for me, i'd rather just not return to them then. i return by mail anyway, i just want to return to them sometimes when i'm close to my credit limit, and when i don't want to get too much rewards for purchases i want to return.

you're in luck, i just happen to have a pic on my phone i forgot if this was the 4 or the 6 on me, it may be the 4.
