On top of that I only received one foil sample of the moisturizer & no dry shampoo.

What the heck? Really? 

Last month they only sent me one packet of the nail polish remover. I emailed them after finding out others got two, and they sent two in the mail. Worth a shot.

I'm still missing BOTH of my boxes. One hasn't updated since the 12th and the other went to a post office in New Jersey (I'm in California) and also hasn't updated. I just sent them an email. My Ipsy bag shipped later and arrived yesterday.

If you can figure out how to transfer them, YES

My box was expected to get here the 22nd, but showed up today. It's #23. I can post pictures later. nothing wrong with it,w hich is nice. The Mary-Lou is smaller than expected, but it is a magnetic case which is nice. The Mox Botanicals lip butter had a loose lid, but it was closed. I think they're just flimsy which is why they fall off in transit. My box had tissue and my perfume and mary lou were wrapped in tissue with a ribbon around it.

My box finally showed up today, #5 which I was excited about. The Eve lom cleanser is so tiny. I think it will be only one use /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The amika looks like a couple uses at least. I'm giving it one more month and canceling if it's like this again.

I did e-mail them telling them that nothing was wrapped, only received one moisturizing pack when I saw others getting two but no response.

Who knows when I will hear back from them. I called them today but seriously called about 5-7 times and no one ever picked up kept going straight to voicemail /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Good luck!

YES! And that goat milk bath fizz cube thing was great. It did wonders for my skin. I'm definitely ordering a load of those for this winter. The month before that, they sent out full sized Ellis Faas lip glazes. Their first few months were rough, very rough. But I'm glad I stuck with them because they are miles ahead of BB now!

I just got mine today!!! Again, even after the shipping email I forgot about it, but it came in like a few days!! Contents are meh, but I'm still pretty happy with it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Anyone with box 32 or the delayed shipping get an update?

I am supposed to get box 32. After spending 2 days in Jersey city it has now arrived in Denver. Hoping it will be in Phoenix tomorrow so I can get it by Saturday.

For the record, I am not ashamed to speak for myself and would not make a separate account to make a comment. I also am not in the habit of calling people trolls or other names. (I am, of course, assuming this is the implication.) I admit, I did notice this poster had only one post and thought it was an interesting way to debut as well. I also am sure that many will choose not to believe that I am being honest here, but I obviously have no way to prove otherwise, so I guess I will have to deal with that. I would truthfully probably assume the same if I were looking in from the outside.

That being said, gypsiemagic, I do see your point, and I don't think it's wrong that we disagree. I do feel that your posts were unnecessarily hostile toward me personally, but as you stated, it is easy to misconstrue tone. As I said, there were many things I didn't know before going into business. My intention was merely to inform, not to condescend or otherwise generate hostility. I apologize if that was the impression given.

I would be happy if the conversation did not continue further. I apologize to the community for unintentionally turning this thread ugly. Maybe we can turn it back around? Where's Jannie with the late-night hyper commentary?

^^ LOL I'M SORRY!!! I SPENT THE PAST TWO NIGHTS BEING NORMAL AND FELL ASLEEP!!! hahahahahahahahahahaha

Omigosh I missed some sort of drama llamas passing by::

< I don't think this is a llama but it's close so you guys can enjoy it.

Also this old lad::

Anyhoo, shaking butts aside, I got my box 3 two days ago and fell asleep before I could open it... I'm sad that my heart didn't race in excitement for this one, but like... I don't know. It's a sad sad box and I didn't even get to keep the turtle D:

I noticed some people are still suffering from the delays of ITP. I hope your turtles sober up soon and muster some energy to head in right direction!!

Also I noticed we were talking about boobies and I wanted to be part of the in crowd. Mine are 68 ZZZ's and let me tell ya... They're like swinging bowling balls off my chest! It feels like I got twin 20 lb babies attached to me at all times! I can't find anything my size so I by lightly used circus tents to sew my own bras. Gotta keep these girls buckled, ya know?

And this is an example of a tall tale told by a short person. But seriously? Lane Bryant is where it's at~ Those bras (by Cacique) feel like sturdy harnesses so that I don't swing my boobs too hard and accidentally dislocate something (strange paranoia: I'm afraid that if I run without my bra my boob with fall off... true story).

My boobs aren't that big. Just my band lol (40D-42C)

 

[hindsighting]

idk why my bb always takes so long to get here, michigan isn't that far from new york /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I always have to wait a few days past the 20th and I'm always spoiled because they send emails showing what I got before I even get it!

My problem is trying to find a 32D elsewhere since I'm trying to leave VS behind. I've looked at Kohls, JC Penney, Macy's, etc. They all start at 34. I've bought a few online at Maidenform's website, but I'd prefer buying a bra in person.

You might try GapBody! They have many 32D's, although not every style... and their 34Cs are a bit snugger in the band so they might work for you.

Right?! If you're a D+, you might not actually want padding! Heck, even if I was an A cup I might not always want padding! Many fashions are much easier to wear on flatter chests! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I thought that guy was the most awkward smiley until I saw the not one, but TWO sexy time ones.

I got my box 11 yesterday, it came the same day as myglam! I ended up liking my box more than I thought I would beause of the DDF cleanser. It's like 20 bucks worth of product. Everything else was tiny samples. The luna bar, three tea packets (i like tea though), dime sized lip gloss, foil packet of tint (i think), and some other cream. I did put I have hyperpigmentation in my profile and the cleanser with other cream was for that- so i guess that was taken into account at least. Either way I hope to see some improvement from them. 

 

[Missglammygirl]

At first I was disappointed with box#1's contents , but then in got it. a full sized Essie polish, a tasty Luna bar, the kiehls shower gell smells amazing and good size! Plus l love the texture and the smell of the lip gloss, wish there was more! The color is pretty too! The only thing I didn't care for it the daily serum. If you could switch that with the malin and goetz peppermint shampoo, drop in a foil packet if the grapefruit cleanser , and the color of the Essie to neo whimsical or lady like , then it would be a perfect box for me! Ps it's so hard to use this on an iPhone.

IKNOOOOOW I sit in leacture on MUT sometimes when I zone out, but seeing as I am not about to lug a 15" latop around (my longchamp tote is big, but its not that big!) I use my ipad, it is so obnoxious to reply, and don't even get me started on attempting a multi-quote. not happening

Ladies! Insider info...VS is starting to look into expanding their sizes for bras! Great news for us larger-busted girls!

I also love Cacique at Lane Bryant AND Frederick's of Hollywood makes GREAT large bras that are SEXY!

any idea if they sizes will include larger bust sizes in the smaller bands?

I love Intimacy, but their prices are definitely over the top. I go to the Chicago Watertower one and often find the same bras at the department stores there for a bit less. I have a small torso and large breasts, so buying bras is a nightmare. I love the VS undie coupons, but can't use the bra ones at all. Their smallest band is a 36 and I'm a 30/32

 I'm a fan of ASOS. I'm a 30ddd and they actually have PRETTY bras with matching knickers. Some under $50

She can squeeze them into 32DDD, a size VS carries, but the doctor made her shop at this fancy french lingerie store for this certain brand that "keeps breasts in the perfect natural position" so the implants can settle well. They are like $100 bucks a pop, she wears a 32E in those, which a european E is the same as an american DDD. fyi.

actually, it goes

d

uk and usa dd/ europe e

usa ddd / uk e/ europe f

uk f / g europe and usa

uk ff/ h europe and usa

They just have to make things more confusing >.<
