i must not have read my cart when i ordered. laugh out loud it's fine - it is a very light colored neutral. i was just expecting something else, that's all.

i know! the conundrum of traveling... very annoying! laugh out loud

you can bring more bags at least... if you're flying a non-US airline you should get 2 bags. Wink but i never like to pack my bag full when i travel, so i can buy new stuff when i'm there! Smilie
I've had to ship stuff back ups Facepalm.

I'm cert free Whee. My order today didn't have one either. I hope they don't send more that I will stress out about using, kind of Teehee!

I like that. I will probably do that for my way into the future kids.

Thanks for your thoughts on Majorelle Blue. I agree with what you say about sapphire blue. So it's a nice medium shade blue? Like Cancun Blue [victoriassecret.com]? I don't have many blue swim items. Trying to extend my tastes. Plus, I want to match my lemon bottom so it has to be a nice medium shade of blue otherwise too bright or too stark is Nono
No, it is darker than Cancun Blue (going by just looking on my computer). I would not pair Majorelle Blue with Lemon, but that is just my opinion and I do not have a plain yellow swim piece to put with it. Putting it against Yellow Dot could be throwing me off, but I am not sure.

Quote from SHCLucia :
From my artistic perspective, i interpreted Deep Blue [37G] as another shade of indigo that appears more violet than blue. nod

i have Spa Blue, too. Smilie i skipped Coral Blossom, Purple Punch, & Neon Hot Pink halter bikinis...i own bras + matching panties in Tropical Punch peach, Neon Purple, & Wild Pink. bounce
Of course, colors are subjective, which is why I reference with "my opinion". I do see how you can get purple from Deep Blue; however, I loathe the color purple in all shades. When I look at Deep Blue, I do not see purple. My Spa Blue has shimmer, which I love. I also love Coral Blossom. It matched a ton of other colors. Neon Hot Pink matches a lot of colors too. Most of my pieces from this season are mix & match. The only bottoms without tops now are a black and a white. Definitely getting a black top to go with the black bottom so I will have a sexy black bikini. For the white bottom, I am waiting for a color that I do not already have to speak to me.

ugh, so i noticed they charged me shipping on a recent order as well. i think it's happening on orders with backorders. maybe this is their new way of dealing with backorders, because it seems to only be happening to the orders that had backordered items in them. i am no longer going to add backorders in my orders anymore - this is ridiculous. Annoyed i am so fed up with having to call them to get these charges corrected! and then if you do happen to return the item, you have to call them again! Annoyed

Is it the orginal shipment or when they ship bo or both?

I need to look at my beauty order invoices.

This kit is back at sephora. Email and site says it's new but I bought it befor Christmas. Didn't stay in-stock long then.

It's pretty awesome!

it's both. it looks like they gave me a negative adjustment for that shipping charge, but i'll bet if i return anything i'll lose that adjustment. Annoyed that's what happened with something i just returned.

Wow! Looks like an essay answer, as many of these posts are (over here), lol..Thanks for sharing with me your commentary and point of view!

i didn't know they made a shiny Spa Blue. They used to have a Shimmer Summer Sky blue.

i've gotten in the habit of matching my vs bikini top and bottom colors..i enjoy looking at the complete outfit 'cause i am too short (5' 1/2") and wish i was taller.

In my opinion, some of my own bra + panty outfits look weird when i mix different shades of the same dominant color / color scheme. Depending on the availability of color~style preferences in stores, i don't have the perfect match for every panty or bra...Drats! Surrender

Ah, my mistake. I meant to say Sour Yellow, but I know you adverted from Sour Yellow because of the word "sour." It's just a really nice light yellow. I wonder if I should chance it with just a top...and then see how it goes. I really want a set like this [victoriassecret.com], but the Almafai blue is just too bright. I don't do bright. So I'm hoping that Majorelle Blue would work nod

I've thought about keeping up with what I spend on clothing and such for an entire year. I know that I'd be so mad at myself laugh out loud.

Mad Going to have to call VS, one of my backordered swim items was charged $5.99 shipping.. I ordered with free shipping for a REASON! Ughh.. they need to fix their web programmer or whoever is responsible for codes working, then not working, extra charges, etc..

And, what if I wasn't even checking my bill, what if I actually TRUSTED them to ship it without a shipping fee, as the code I input was for... I'm glad I check my orders and my shipment emails..

i only choose "Just a few left" / "In Stock" items, and someone or something tacks on hideous Shipping fees regardless of whatever Free code i use.
i could make a laundry list of normal--(previous & current)--Free Shipping codes they've screwed up this year ("Processed" and "In Process" stages with\without phone calls to remove holds\release orders).

It does not need to be "Backordered" necessarily for them to mess things up for us. i appreciate everything CS reps do for us, and yet, i hate wasting my time just to fix it / finalize it.
