PinkCouture Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi guys, has anybody tried on some of the swimwear particularly the bandeaus? I'm thinking of getting the Very Sexy Strappy Bandeau: https://www.victoriassecret.com/swimwear/bandeau/strappy-bandeau-very-sexy?ProductID=6078&CatalogueType=OLS In my case, I only buy VS panties and PJs.I bought some new beige briefs from the sale, but I gotta say, at my store, it was really hard to find them. All they had left was thongs, thongs and more thongs. When it comes to bras, I find the quality subpar and the prices too high. I mean, for 40-50 bucks, the least I expect is for them to actually fit me. In my experience, I found Calvin Klein and Agent Provocateur to be more well-fitting. Sure, they're more expensive but they have pretty awesome sales too. Yes. VS Swimwear are ok. Nothing special---overall typical and average. You could probably get similar items that are better quality elsewhere. I personally don't like bandeaus b/c I prefer a style that is more supportive but that's just me I remember VS used have push-up bikinis with removable padding. It's a shame they got rid of that style I don't get many of my bras from VS anymore. I usually get them at department stores b/c they are slightly less expensive, better quality, and they usually have more of options & styles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foofur16 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I agree, there is only so many neon leopard bras one can buy. Seriously are they really that popular? I'm slightly interested in some of the Valentine's Day collection, although a lot of them seem Agent Provocateur rip-offs, but who cares about originality these days?

PinkCouture Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 ^ I have a couple of neon leopard print bras It depends on the pattern and the tone of the colors. Some [neon] leopard prints I agree are tacky like the ones they sell at F21. Not just AP but also items from past seasons of other brands like Passionata, La Perla, Wacoal, and Natori. VS often does copy the style and technology of other brands. They might modify it a bit but its all basically the same.The brands are usually ones not available in the USA.

foofur16 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 There's nothing wrong with a bit of neon leopard print , but season after season, it does get a bit redundant. Too bad VS no longer has a line with Intimissimi. It's not as SEXY-oriented as VS and their stuff are a bit more stylish. They've recently started shipping in the US so if you like them, check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCouture Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 ^ I hear you Yeah, I am on Intimissimi's email marketing list. Glad they are part of the US market again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clauds Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I want to get the hoodie with Angel wings on the back but damn it's nearly $70 wtf? Are they crazy? o.O I had it already but it got stolen and I remember it cost me a lot less than that, VS needs to stop it with the over pricing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toodarnhot Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think I've bought maybe two or three things ever from VS or Pink at regular price. I just wait for their 60% off clearance sales, because there's never anything I get "need it right now!!!!" excited about from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clauds Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I don't live in the US tho so I have to get whatever I want online or in my yearly trip to the US and the stupid hoodie is not in sale and I don't have coupons right now so by the looks of it I won't be getting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RafSecret Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Usually I always order VS stuff when they've got the Secret Reward cards offers, then I use those codes, make my next order cheaper (and usually tend to use it during a sale). It worked out pretty well the last time I ordered stuff, I managed to get a bandeau special, free panty, free bracelet and one of their coupons that they sometimes give out when you order stuff (they're usually like a $10 one) If it's any help there are two options in the clearance area where there's hoodies with the wings, they're $40, however their sizing for the styles are pretty limited so if you're lucky and are that size then it's sweet for you (Y) If not, damn.

PinkCouture Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 ^ Sometimes you could find pretty good deals on eBay if you are patient and willing to spend time to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katchitup Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 VS has some great deals when their stuff is on clearance. I wanted that hoodie with the angel wings too, I see now its only left in an extra large Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clauds Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 They have it!! They have it in black and the only size they have it's my size Thanks hun, I owe you one Glad to have helped! With that kind of luck you should go for the lottery Clearance stuff at VS is a bingo of luck! They literally had just my size in the black one with silver wings which is the one I wanted. I always complain about never finding good stuff in XS that sells cheaper but this time it was actually a blessing They do have some good deals in Clearance but almost never the stuff I want and when I do it's never my size lol, I'm hoping they'll have some discounts when I'm in the US. Fingers crossed cuz I need a bunch of new bras, panties & leggings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiika Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The only thing I have of VS is a splash perfume xD! I bought it in the airport when I was in Mexico hahaha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clauds Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 ^ El Dorado has VS beauty products I think, I've been there and they have them. Overpriced but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiika Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yeah, and there are beauty stores in malls at Bogotá, Bucaramanga and Medellin... I think, but we don't have something like that in Quilla, u.u'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RafSecret Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Usually VS has quite a few airport stores, I went to the one in Hong Kong and it's basically their standard airport store. It has the beauty stuff, maybe some phone cases + little bags, and those 7 for $26 panties or whatever which are brighter than my future A lot of my friends buy me some of the stuff when they go overseas which is awesome. Although it's usually a scent that isn't my thing (I have too much Love Spell for my liking). Their nicest scent for me would be Aqua Kiss. They literally had just my size in the black one with silver wings which is the one I wanted. I always complain about never finding good stuff in XS that sells cheaper but this time it was actually a blessing They do have some good deals in Clearance but almost never the stuff I want and when I do it's never my size lol, I'm hoping they'll have some discounts when I'm in the US. Fingers crossed cuz I need a bunch of new bras, panties & leggings. Talk about luck Usually it depends on the season on whether the stuff in clearance is good or not. It usually was in my experiences because it's the stuff I wanted (which was hoodies, tops and sweats). Enjoy the shopping girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clauds Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 So this week they had this free bra w/any Pink purchase And because I can't say No to free stuff I ended up going inside to 5 panties to get the bra Which lead to getting a bag & two bras because I have a shopping problem, but I also got the beach tote for free so yay that. The Seamless Pink panties are awesome and extra comfy (Y) And the sports bra I got for free (it sells for $19) it's awesome too. I just got off from a 24 hours flight wearing it and it was comfy and perfect for the occasion, it's a tad big but other than that it's awesome, me likes.
