New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Express to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.

Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

Ugh, those vneck camis are not the ones I was thinking of! I like them still, but they're different. Not as soft. Stretchier. Tighter but xs still fits me, phew.
I got a few of those v-neck as fillers. They're not bad. I guess I was hoping they'd be like the regular camis. I don't like how they cling with that kind of material.

That's possibly more than I've thrown out! Crazy Most of the ones I've tossed are so dry they feel like they're dragging thru the lashes. Teehee

Comfort So sorry to hear about the pain, hope you make it to the beach this weekend to relax. Weather is gorgeous right now, has been yucky all week.


I should try your layering technique with the shadow first, then liner. I found that's my only use for the black shadows UD sends in their palettes is to set and blend my liner.
Thanks for the well wishes.

I got a flyer for that tote. It's super super super cute! Gonna stock up on a few for myself Big Grin

I've got sparse eyelashes so anything dragging through sounds like it would create thickness!
I have been trying to tightline, but I've had a difficult time, not sure if it's because when I do do it, lashes are just falling out left and right and not sure if losing the few eyelashes I have is worth tighlining? Plus, I'm usually in a rush, so I figured no point really, right? It only really looks good if I do it slowly and not when I'm pressed for time shake head

laugh out loud I see I'm not the only one who saves all their VS mailing baggies. They are awesome! So lightweight.

Roll I wonder that too.. and then I see that I'm shipping to a guy and I think, "Is it the wife buying from the husbands account, or am I selling my used bras to a dude!"
Oh heck ya High Five I don't really believe the shipping bags are being recycled when I put them in the recycle bins anyway... I just wish the Express bags weren't so dang branded. I can't repurpose those... but they're quality. The latest VS bag I got today is a different material... I hope it holds up, it feels thinner and has some texture to it.

Oooh my gosh, I sold a panty to a dude and he had some name like "sissypanties" or something. I thought that might be lingo I was not familiar with and sure enough... that's what "Sissy Panties" are... women's underwear for men! EEK! laugh out loud Good for him. As long as I don't see them on YouTube or Instagram laugh out loud

Yeah, it looks nice - and more subtle with the branding. Smilie


Ahh. Yeah. It drags through them and then flakes off. Have you tried Latisse? My friend got me some and I don't want to use it on my lashes b/c apparently it can change your eye color... I might try it on my eyebrows tho Scratchhead


Oooh tightlining! I haven't been able to do it . When I've tried, the liner seeps into my eye juice and I see it floating around :mess:

Sleepy2 I'm exhausted... marathon cleaning session before my aunt gets here tomorrow morning. The kind of aunt that scrutinizes your cleaning Messed Up Hope you are all having a good weekend Smilie

FYI - Express Booklet codes expire at the end of today $75/200, $10/30, $30/90, $40/120


Update on the camping trip with newlywedszilla: After we got back last month, trip expenses were tallied and divided it up amongst everyone. We never heard anything from them, but finally got a check in the mail on Friday. Now get this...not only is it 2 weeks late, it's also $50 short Facepalm. No note explaining it or anything. When asked, they said decided that they didn't eat as much food as we did, so they cut out the shopping trip where we bought the propane and dry goods we all used. Censored So... we were just supposed to eat $50? We had already paid the other guy so now we have to get some money back from him???? We fronted almost $600 for the trip, not including our flights. F#@%Q$%holes.

They also said they didn't feel like they were being heard during planning and therefore hesitated to speak up during the trip. WTF? They wouldn't shut up and roll with anything, the whole trip was a constant fight with their nagging. If that's hesitating to speak up, then I'd hate to see no hesitation. shake head I'm pretty sure they're confusing "not being heard" with not getting their way.

Completely horrible travel companions.. I guess that officially nixes them from future trips with you and your hubby. Really rude. Not only that, but it takes time and energy to itemize expenses, I should know... it's a task when I divide things up with my sister, she takes the time to make an excel spreadsheet and I know it requires formulas for her to input... At least they paid a portion vs not paying at all... Mad What comes around goes around.. Wink

I'll upload a pic in a few, but it looks like a white canvas tote with blue (as in SlickDeals Blue laugh out loud ) stripes. Gold Grommets holding a rope handle. Large postal-looking VS stamp on it in pink/red reading VS IN PARADISE with love and VICTORIA's SECRET.

I always wonder if it's worth it due to the time involved. SH is making me think it is. Big Grin



Good idea! I can learn a lot from you girls. nod I have bras I wore pre-weight loss than I need to get rid of. Selling to get money for new bras sounds great. If I listed them, I probably would have priced them cheap BIN. Thanks for sharing your experience.



Is this the way you ship bras? Just curious, so I'll know the best way to ship, if I decide to sell mine.
I ship mine using the padded flat rate envelopes, I love to ship almost anything in them. On eBay you can get a discounted shipping rate, and you can have the mail carrier come right to your house if you ship priority. But the envelopes are taking forever to get to me. I need to ship out a clothing auction someone won on fri., hoping the envelopes would get here Sat. No luck in that wishful thinking. :/ the items would fit in the envelope and save me $5 in shipping. Oh wells, spending more to ship out in the am.

what do you use to line and/or tightline? i can never get anything to stay on waterline/tightline so i usually don't bother - i've found the pen liners are the best for quick and easy line on upper lash line. i use japanese ones you can find at japanese grocery store or one of those asian beauty supply shops - i heart my k-palette one and dolly wink is supposed to be really good.

v-neck camis - i'm keeping them bc i like not having the shelf bra, but i was hoping it would be like the v-neck cami without shelf bra from last year - they had a satin trim and were rayon or something... a very comfy material. this new one is a bit clingy like you said. oh well - it's only going on underneath stuff anyway - i can deal.

also, i think you recommended the wine-chilling bar that goes inside bottle of wine... there's one over at livingsocial right now and with the 10 off 15 code for today it's only $9 shipped. no idea if this company/brand is any good but it's a great deal! just FYI.. the code makes the deal. (also discover cb if you have it is 10%)

EEK! at sissy panties!

I've tried different eyelash enhancers/growers, but if it makes my eyes feel like they're burning, not sure if that's worth it? Scratchchin I have Revitalash and the Tarte Multi-eye one. My eye doc was very hesitant about me using Latisse. She said the derms prescribe it instead of optometrists and once they have problems with the eye, then patients are referred to optometrists. She did say that those appear to work though. Maybe I'll whip out my tubes and give them a try again.

Yeah, I've had eyeliner in my eye juice and eyeshadow in my eye juice as well shake head Eyeshadow flakes hurt!

Comfort about the terrible newlyweds. I hope you guys never have to see them again.

I use UD's 24/7 on my waterline. Staying power is okay only because my eyes water like crazy all the time. I've also used Tarte's Emphaseye [sephora.com]. I find that that one gets into the lash line really well because of the small tip. I don't use this often because I don't tightline often. I also think this looks better on the waterline.

I've never used a pen liner before. That might solve the problem.

I'm not quite sure which one nerdi is talking about, but this is theone [uncommongoods.com] I've given to DBF before. He likes it. Said it works well. It's just those freezable ice things in an ice pack made to fit into the wine. I think the only downside was as it melted, it would kind of dilute the wine.

I got these Welt pencil skirts [express.com] in 0 and I'm not sure if I like how high they are. I know in the model's pic, it doesn't hit her knee, but I think it's kind of weird that it doesn't when I wear it. I got it in 0 and it's about 3" above my knee. It doesn't come up as high as it does on the model on it. It doesn't look inappropriate for work, but I'm not sure if it's too tight. I'm going to try it in a Size 2. Maybe it won't look so tight and it would look like it does on the model. But if it's Size 2, I'm afraid it would turn as I walk in them. When I get the 2s in, I may actually have to take a picture and ask you girls to help me decide.

yay for Photo!!! Big Grin

that's one of my favorite skirts from express. our sizing disparity is so weird! i have the 0 and it fits me - 2 was way big on me. strange how shorts fit us the opposite way with me liking the 2. the 0 skirt turns for me... but it's ok - i just pull it down a bit and it's not as bad.

i don't find it short for me.

i hope it works well. it sounds promising - there's an attached wine pourer and the chill stick doesn't melt into the wine.
