The girls haven't been behaving! Victoria Secret resized me to a 36 DDD!! I'm like n0o0o0o0o0o

Also, VS bras are kind of crappy anyhow! I'm in the bazonga club and I swear by Wacoal - they're the best fit for us voluptuous ladies and built to last for years. Don't worry too much about whatever size you get fitted for…you'll always look best and have the support you need in a bra that fits perfectly, so the size on the label ain't no thing!
OK, i know this is OT, but... I wear bras with underwires to help keep the girls looking up (my first bra was a 32 C and now i'm older and bigger). I don't wear the same bra every day, but even so, after maybe 2 months or so of wearing a bra, a ferking underwire breaks (ouch! they are sharp!) or an end begins poking through the channel. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? It's driving me bananas

Yeah, i'm afraid it'll look like mustard on me. I LOVE mustard - i usually have at least 5 different kinds in my fridge. I used to eat it out of the jar with a spoon when i was little.

But i'm not planning to wear it on my cheeks!

I still need to moderate half of her comments, not sure if I will delete them! Basically she said 'you're very pretty, when I think that we have the same age but you look more like a woman, I thought you were in your 30s'. In french it was : ''tu es super jolie quand je pense qu'on a le même âge mais toi tu fais vraiment femme. je t'aurais plus donné la trentaine :$''. Anyway, funny how she live in such a tiny and depressing place, is it bad that it make me feel better? lol
What a b****y thing for her to say! Definitely jealous. Backhanded "compliments" like those just sound insecure and rude!

I have worn bras with underwires my entire life and I do wear them for more than a day (of course not a hot sweaty day! I am lazy but I am not dirty lol!) but I have never had that problem. I think it might be an intrinsic manufacturing fault, if it is always the same brand. I personally find that Triumph bras are very comfy and last for yeeeeeeears. I don't think I have tossed a Triumph bra ever in the last 10 years.

Nah I highly doubt that Honey Jasmine would look anything close to mustard. If anything it might be more orange but so far I haven't seen a single ugly swatch of it (though I guess if it was really ugly, nobody would ever post a photo.) I am pretty sure that someone will gladly take it off your hands if you don't like it. By the way, how did you ever stand eating mustard with a spoon? Sometimes when I eat a sandwich with a dollop too much, my nose just burns. It's kinda like eating those wasabi pea snacks. It burns and I want to cry but I LOVE it!

Every few months? It's gotta be the brand. I'm a 28FF and these heavy things aren't breaking wires. Haven't had a wire slip out since high school. A few got wonky, though, back when I used to dry them. I wear only Freya and Fantasie, but have one Curvy Kate. How did this topic come up? LOL

That happens to me too (with all different brands), and I'm afraid I haven't got any suggestions. I usually poke the underwiring back in and sew the hole up, and I find that works fine - I'm a broke grad student and can't afford to spend £30 on a bra every time the underwiring makes a break for freedom. That would definitely make a hole in my makeup budget. ;)

I just want you to know that underwire breaking in a bra is a common problem among me and all my friends that wear bras with underwire. Not in every bra but, often enough. You are not alone.

RS on the cheeks, SS on the lips. I really like both colors, I think the only other thing I need to pick up tmrw is flamingo.

You are the best!! I can understand how some shades might not be appealing to someone, but when I don't like a colour I don't leave a comment on the blog, I don't even read the review! lol I think she's just trying to hurt my feelings (or she's really dumb), she left more comments today and one of them was about how I look older than my age. Who say that kind of thing? I was born with the wrong skintone LOL, I can hardly wear what I want when I'm my natural skintone (NC15), but with selftanner I can wear almost anything!! Hahah I told her that I love my orange lippies because they go so well with my skintone and are so trendy right now! lol Did you like it?? That's what I was thinking too, but then I saw the comment this morning about my age, wtf?
Isn't that weird? I can wear any colour now, but when i tanned to an NC30, i was much more limited. Weird!
Argh Sweet and Sour is doing the thing that some pale cremesheens do where it goes on all clingy to dry bits on my lips . Even when they're exfoliated!  What am I supposed to do?  Maybe a lip liner?
Make sure you're using a lip balm beforehand, and let it sink it for awhile before blotting it off and applying the lipstick.

That used to happen to my mom with VS bras. And she isn't very busty either. But every single bra she wore, she'd reach down to tie her shoes and POP! The underwire would snap in half on one side only.

I should say that this is only relevant if the underwiring begins to poke out, not if it breaks. I haven't had that happen, so I don't have anything to add about that.
