I dont want to sound like a debbie downer about revitalash products, but just for everyone to be aware, I know the lash growth products can cause potential side effects (fat loss in the orbital bone area, darkening of eyelids). I used it for 6 months and my lashes got long, thick and so luscious after about 2-3 months, however some started curling in a funny, uncontrollable manner, and my eyelids got dark reddish purple (and my skin is quite fair). I ceased use because of this.

I'm not sure about the brow product, but I am curious if it would have similar side effects if used on the lash line?

I’ve read the same things as well. Sorry you experienced the side effects first hand!

Very curious about Revitalash/Neulash, but apprehensive as well. Anyone have a non-prostaglandin lash serum they recommend? I tried a conditioning one from Costco (Rapidshield) and it didn’t do much. Castor oil alone is super messy.

Weirdly, I could do expedited shipping, but I couldn't find anywhere to add/choose my double points.

In the app, Account——> Rewards——> Benefits Tab——> click on the first circle for “Personal Double Points Days”. May look different if you have triple point day

Have you tried the Zella 3 pack tab back fitness socks? $15.90 on sale. They’ve never ever slipped down into to my shoes. They’re great.

I agree with you about those particular Zella socks. Check out the 3-Pack Tab Back Socks from Nordstrom: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/6407467

Yes, I've tried Rapidlash and Rapidbrow. These don't have prostaglandins (as far as I know, although someone said they used to) and so far have worked, but take several weeks to notice. I also haven't gotten any eye darkening or other probs. Not sure Nordstrom carries; I buy mine at Ulta.

Curious about others experience. I've looked at my confirmation emails from my orders and here's what I have. My first order (placed immediately upon access on the 16th) says "arrives 7/30" above each item. My second order (placed five minutes after the first) does not specify any date for arrival and actually shipped yesterday. Another order placed on the 17th says "arrives 8/2". Is that just and arbitrary thing they do? To put an arrival date two weeks out? Does it seem weird to anyone else that the one without arrival dates has shipped? I did not expedite shipping this year as half my items weren't eligible and I didn't have any overly large orders (20+ items) as in years past. It seems to me like a really long time....

Yes same fabric content and everything. I should correct...the other shirt is $60 not $40, I used Notes too, which hopefully I can get back.

When you return your notes purchase they will just credit back the amount you paid that includes the notes. So $40 plut $20 notes they would refund you $60.

If anyone was curious about the Dansko clogs: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/dansko-brenda-clog-women/5896920

They are comfortable right out of the box; I am definitely keeping them! The only call-out is that the tan color is much lighter in person than online (at least on my computer), which makes the distressing more "obvious." I.e. the toe is a deeper brown color than the rest of the shoe. Doesn't bother me but wanted to point it out in case that's a dealbreaker for anyone.

I normally wear a 42 in most European shoe sizes and I thought these were true to size in that regard.

I ordered on the 16th as well, regular shipping, and it had an estimated date of 7/30-8/2. My order is in transit and will be delivered tomorrow. Another item I ordered a couple of days later had the same delivery estimate but will be here Friday.
Someone theorized earlier that they are probably putting these extended delivery times out so that if they do get backed up with sending orders out, they have a larger window to get them filled. I think that's probably a safe guess. It might keep people from overwhelming customer service asking why their stuff hasn't shipped yet.

I’m considering those socks now thanks for the zella recommendation also staking the Celine sunglasses kind of want them. I mean I need to come out with a pair of sunglasses regardless because I have none. It’s just a matter of which I think would look best on me.

Has anyone tried on the Ted Baker black faux leather shirt dress? Any opinions? Is it too long to style over jeans? Trying to decide if I really need it…

Alright, so I took my break at work to hop over to Nordstrom (it's conveniently 2 minutes away from my office), and....

They got Reiss stuff in!

1. The Reiss Leah Coat- This is actually.... Awful . What a let down. I was looking forward to this SO badly. The material is thin, lightweight, super cheap feeling, and also wrinkles easily and honestly looks like something I could buy at Forever 21. I was so sad.

2. The Reiss Penny Rib Split Sleeve Dress - This was more beautiful on than expected, this went home with me. My true size small fit me perfectly. I will take a photo of me wearing this later once I get home. I am 5'10 and the fitted lower portion stops right above my knee. I like the color too - It's like a heathered taupe.

3. The Reiss Split Sleeve Top (is this also called Penny? I forgot)- This was okay. It is an ivory color, and I didnt find it as flattering as the dress so it did not go home with me. Fits true to size, but I feel it rides up due to the fitted lower half, probably because my hips are quite a bit wider than my waist.

You. Are. Kidding. Me. I had SUCH hope for this coat. Ugh. I managed to snag another one from Denver and have it being overnighted to me. What a let down. Thanks for the heads up though. Wish I had a Nordys 2 minutes away!

I got it . It was a size to big for me so I am reordering a smaller size . It is a good quality piece. I’m 5’8 and the length was good . It has a high slit on the side which I think would help styling with jeans .

Oh nooo! Maybe you'll like it?? But.. I dont think it's worth the money. I dont think I'd spend more than $100 for it. You know how any wool item, whether its a wool mix or 100% wool, usually is pretty heavy and almost felt-like? This coat feels like a strange acrylic/polyester mix. It's really bizarre and hard for me to explain lol.

Thank you for that info re: the posts.

Also, did your diamond studs arrive in a postage-marked UPS box within a postage-marked UPS box? Now I’m just being paranoid that these somehow aren’t the right earrings and someone switched them out in transit. (I mean, they ARE the right earrings. Probably. Maybe. Unless they aren’t. )

Yes they arrived in a ups box, within a smaller ups box. Strangely enough I did not have to sign for them (maybe COVID practices and all) but I was surprised to find the package of a $8k item on my lawn (seems the driver just threw it over the gate, not even placed on the porch like usual). Anyway, back to you: I’m sure you got the correct earrings!

Hi ladies - has anyone purchased or is familiar with the kwiat Diamond earring studs that are part of thr sale every year? I went into thr store Thursday looking to buy the largest size, thr 1.5 carat studs. They didn’t have them in store but one of the associates was very nice and helped me order them. They just arrived and they look like they came directly from the vendor. I’m looking at thr invoice and the size says 1.4ct stud, with no other information (quality if Diamond or platinum vs white gold). Anyway I realize the description online says “carat size is approximate”, but a full 0.10 seems far off from the approximate range, would you agree? I paid just over $2,000 to upgrade from the 1.25 size. I feel somewhat cheated that the $2k only got me another 0.15. Would you return and insist on receiving a pair that is closer or at the exact 1.5 size? So disappointed, especially after waiting all day and evening for ups.

So back to my earring saga: all I got from customer service was “we are very sorry you are disappointed and please feel free to return the earrings in store or by mail”. Nothing about giving me the wrong item or finding a replacement pair in the correct carat size to exchange. Although she was very nice, I’m actually disappointed once again. I believe what I’ll do is contact the in store SA who helped me order them. She gave me her business card. I believe she has mondays and tuesdays off so I will need to wait until tomorrow. Thinking of just returning altogether. I don’t know if they are worth the time and hassle.
