Bring back Vanilla Noir. I actually love this scent, lotion, and cologne. It's a smokey, incense vanilla that doesn't cloy or aggravate migraines.

Love Ulta, but love Sephora more for their free samples!

Great customer service, returns, great sales, and great cafe in store.
Also I LOVE the free perfume samples, love them!

I've been burned so much by shopping online, but if you shop the sales at Nordstrom, or the actual full-price items, you can verify the quality and fit. I've never had a problem with their clothes---just buying too much of it.

Ive even bought work pants onsale or at the Nordstrom Rack, brought them into the fitting room, and the seamstress they provide will pin them depending on what shoes I plan to wear with them, and hem them for free or under $20, depending on where I bought them.

Sale items can be nearly as cheap as shopping online at a cut-rate place, BUT these actually FIT and look NICE. Plus, I can go get free perfume samples or try on makeup, or hangout in their Cafe--get the goat-cheese salad! And their coffee is great.

Also love their jewelry and perfume, which the husband gets me for Valentines. I feel more like it won't be a counterfeit.

Horrid customer service, very difficult to return items, deceptive photos.
WRONG size charts--totally off--been burned a number of times on that.
Crummy photos that when it finally arrives, you realize it's horrid fabric, horribly manufactured, worse than crappy Halloween costume fabrics. I've gotten several items that was like house paint on fabric, scratchy, and faded drastically after washing, or thin polyester pajama fleece used in something that appeared to be a flannel shirt.

Shipping charges on everything, most other websites will be free-over-$50.

Research what you are looking for on-line, and then consider IF it wouldn't just be easier to go to the local store or thrift store and try it on to verify FIT and Quality, plus it'd be FAR easier to return if it fell-apart. Plus most stores will give you cash back or credit equal to what you paid.
NOT SO with Zulily--it's very hard to return, or it gets "lost" in the warehouse and they don't credit your account. Or it's a smaller amount than what you paid. Make sure you photograph everything you send back plus keep your postal receipts so that IF necessary, you can enforce them crediting your account or refunding.

On top of that, most of the items can actually be found online CHEAPER & might be easier to return to the seller. It might be under a slight variation of the original corporate Manufacturer name, but it's the same product. But it takes time to find it.

At first I thought Quora was interesting, but then I got deluged with very childish, immature questions, VERY, VERY repetitive. (I found out that people get paid(?) to generate a trillion garbage questions.) Many questioners avoid searching for the same topic & existing answers--they want attention or $, and custom-written responses JUST for them. If you put in any links-to or quote from science-websites, they report you for "Spamming" & the answer gets hidden--the attention-seekers want responses more than quality information.
And due to the nature of the questions, shows that most of these immature folks don't have ANY human contact or experience. (Topics: love, romance, Bizarre or scary questions on What goes through the mind of the opposite sex, college life, human mentality, how humans operate, Shyness, Social Awkwardness, etc.) The questions and a lot of the answers say a lot about the writers: LOTS of self-obsession, isolation, catastrophizing, and especially fantasizing that they are "psychotic/sociopathic" like it's cool, asexual/gay/bi, incels & women-haters, suicidal threats, whatever. Many of the males have really nutty or scary attitudes towards females, and I fear for the women around them. And MOST of these immature folks will never seek help, or create or join a self-help group, or any other effort to make their lives better. QUORA: make it easier to flag repetitive questions, or flag Really Great Writers (to weed out the horrid or very immature or attention-seeking ones.) Make it easier to route all the thousands of "askers" needing mental health help to a centralized forum area with curated, quality help.

Tip for consumers:
Some good info, once in a while VERY funny or entertaining answers which SHOULD BE flagable for some sort of positive reward , but a lot of very sloppy allowing of similiar topics, and HORDES of isolated, overly-sheltered kids with self-made Asperger's autism.
