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

So weird that they're different!

I was actually gifted a second Sephora GC on Wrapp, so I missed out on the second, but I don't really know what to do with $5 if I can't stack.

So were you able to go through a CB site to redeem? I haven't tried cause on wrapp, it says "click here when you're ready" And I know you mentioned they'll give you some GC number to use, but I want CB too!

PM your address.

i don't know - i think the main thing is the pockets. i would prefer slanted pockets so i can put my hands in them. the peplum one fits really nicely tho. even for my not-so-curvy body, it fits nicely. the peplum part doesn't stick out much - it's subtle.

but mostly it's just bc i thought i had found sizes that were oos online, so i thought i needed to snatch it up since i couldn't order it. :l ol: nothing to do with the jacket itself.

i am reconsidering my purchase of S tho. it fits perfectly now (arms are a bit wide tho - but i have very thin arms for my size/proportion) but what if it stretches?

If the worst for you is being tired the next day, have some caffeine. Being dehydrated makes you tired too, so the drinking water is excellent advise. Coffee is good, but sometimes I think soda is better. When I drink heavily, I often don't eat much and my blood sugar ends up really low by the next morning, so the combination of sugar and caffeine helps immensely. Also, try fruit juice if you have trouble getting water down. Orange juice is great and I read somewhere that it has an enzyme that helps your body process alcohol, though I cannot find anything to verify that.

thank you so much!! i used the 2nd code. :hug :

I've asked this before, but didn't see a reply. Can you exchange an item that was purchased with an Express reward? I have one I need to use, before my trip. I'm planning to get a jacket in small, but want to be able to exchange it for an XS if necessary.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad the peplum jacket is fine. Now, I shouldn't have to worry about getting one for my nieces immediately. The peplum cut was always what I would have gotten for myself, but I was afraid they may not like that style. If you like it, they should too.

Do you need more codes? I thought everyone had them, since red had offered to share one a few times. I have some extras, if anyone needs one.

They will take it if you return before it's redeemed. Nothing happens if you return after you use it.

yes, when you click the 'click when you're ready' it gives you a gc. then you can go thru cashback.

why dont you just go in store to redeem something small?
or you can always buy something and return it later for a sephora gc/credit. then use it later?

Thanks!

I didn't know we could use it in store! That would be a better idea to use the $5 in store. I guess I thought I could only use online because it only has the "Use Online" button. I see that we can use it via the app, but I'm afraid to click on it when not in store. Have you used it in store before? Do you know what it shows?

here [express.com] is that black/white dress i was talking about. it's really cute!

this [express.com] one is still cute and figure-flattering, but was tight on me on my waist. now i'm not so sure about it...

pictures forthcoming, if i ever get them uploaded.

i didn't find that drop-waist dress to try on in store, unfortunately.

this [express.com] looks cute! want to try that too!

ive redeemed in store before. it shows the gc # and pin#. to be safe, dont click it until you're actually in store.

i know the website says it will expire within a certain timeframe once you show it.

photos - of the white/black dress, that teal/black dress again, and the stretched out size S leather jacket in sand.

Definitely love the black/white dress on you! I think it looks better than the teal/black.

That S leather jacket looks kind of boxy, maybe because it IS stretched out? JMO Might look better fitted if sized down.

it probably depends on the store, but if it's an even exchange for size they might allow it. you do lose your reward if you do a return tho. my store didn't have an XS in that color (i asked).

also, the XS was very snug on me. especially the chest area. when i zipped it i didn't like how it looked. i probably should have taken a photo, but i didn't. i'm really unsure what to do, but i ordered a XS to compare the 2. i may need to take the XS and stretch it out just so it won't be so snug.

also, i tried on that turquoise/black dress again (they had a 2 in store finally). it was still snug. the top was looser but the waist was just as snug! probably perfect for you GH! i also flipped it around and tried it with the low side in front. not good - the back bulged out where the darts are.

i also tried on a similar dress that was white/black and one-shoulder. i liked that one more!

i used that code bc it was 15 off anything. i only have 15 off 30 codes.

After seeing your picture, I'm not sure I should order the jacket. I think I'll try to get to the store first.

Both dresses look great on you, but I think the teal/black makes your boobs look bigger & your waist look slimmer. I like the white/black dress too, but my DH doesn't like one shoulder dresses for some reason. Sorry, but that jacket doesn't look good at all. I can't imagine how it could have stretched that much. That seems like poor quality.

That's funny. I think she looks more curvaceous in the teal/black dress. To me, it's more flattering to her figure.
