[Quasiquixotic]

I like Merry Iris, but not as much as I feel like I should given its colors. But I LOVE Sunnie. Wowie!!

Photos tomorrow in the light.

Oh that merry iris is so pretty!! It does look a bit darker than on the website. Too bad they went out of stock before I could get one :( Maybe during the next sale

[Arete]

I'm definitely getting a merry itis now. I thought it neh in the site pictures, but its gorgeous in yours, held!

[Crystawni]

Oh, it is pretty, Hele. You can see the depth of yumness. And the Sunnie one is rich, Quasi. Me likey.

[JadedByEntropy]

:agape: i'm going to love my merry iris! what size is that one? XL or Mega?

[Quasiquixotic]

Mine are XLs. Judging by the beads, so is Hele's. :wink:

[Hele]

^^yep, i only buy XL, Mega is too big for my head size! That Sunnie flexi is one of the ones i *almost* bought!

[AspenSong]

Ahhh! Now I realllllly want my flexis to show since I got an Iris. How on EARTH did those get to you guys so fast?!!! I just got an email this morning that mine shipping Today....and I was crazy and stayed up until 1am to get my order in first thing too! lol

[Arete]

At first I was like, I wonder who she's talking about, been then I realized I think you mean ME. :oops: Wow, I never thought I'd be anyone's hair idol. I feel honored. Thank you so much this made my day. I'm gonna hide behind the couch now. :couch:

Eta: @Christine-O.

[Willowyn]

For those of you who know me and my hairtype (OK, and yes, my hairtoy weaknesses) from other threads, will a Flexi-8 stay in a ponytail or half-up on hair like mine? They look pretty, but are they any kinder to hair in a ponytail or half-up than a "Made In France" (good) barrette? I keep thinking that if it's snug enough to not slide down, then it's not going to be any better for my hair than one of the older barrettes I already own and like. Thoughts?

[JadedByEntropy]

thanks Quasiquixotic,
I can't wait for my XL to come in. that does look big enough to put updos up with. :D

I almost got the sunni too, but gold doesn't go with (green) ash brown i dont think and i'm not to fond of the combination. but those orange beads! aaagh! if it was silver....

Me vs my purse: :slap:

[rags]

Willowyn, yeah I think it will stay for you - if you get the size right. And I don't recommend the dangles for a first purchase - they can tangle for lots of people, including me.

To me, they are kinder than some barrettes, but about equal to my really good, older French barrettes. The difference for me is that I like them in half-ups, and I can't find French barrettes small enough for half-ups for me. I don't wear them a whole lot for ponytails, but I thin they are different than the barrettes in that case They make kind of a hybrid between a pony with an elastic (round) and the flattened pony you get with a barrette, so it's a bit of a different look. I just don't find that they hold as well for me as I like (for that matter, night do barrettes).

What I love flexis for, and use them for mostly, is half-ups (they are PERFECT for half-ups, and so pretty!) and buns. I actually don't have to make mine very tight to hold the half-up; they just hold up by some unknown alchemy. :p

[Alaska98]

Ahhh! Now I realllllly want my flexis to show since I got an Iris. How on EARTH did those get to you guys so fast?!!! I just got an email this morning that mine shipping Today....and I was crazy and stayed up until 1am to get my order in first thing too! lol

This! I ordered about 4 hours after the sale went live. My tracking number is showing "pre-shipment." :shrug:

[Sparklylady82]

Still waiting for my first order....and then I have another order coming. Hope they come this week! It left the departing post office!

[Adiro]

Hele and Quasi, lovely lovely flexis!
I love the sunny one, too bad I didn't notice it when I ordered....
I also ordered a merry iris, I am a bit disappointed that it's " so black" it looked lighter on the web site... I have a crimson joy or whatever is called the last December one , in black metal, and because it's black I don't like it very much....
( and otherwise I got myself a ladybug (it was a must for me...) and a green dragonfly, because I always wanted to day one of those...)and yes, some iris pins too, to try them...

[Eilliania]

My first Flexi shipped on the 1st, but my tracking number doesn't work. How long does it usually take to start showing where the package is? I'm from Europe, if that makes some kind of difference.

Thanks. :)

[Theobroma]

My first Flexi shipped on the 1st, but my tracking number doesn't work. How long does it usually take to start showing where the package is? I'm from Europe, if that makes some kind of difference.

Thanks. :)

I'm in Europe too -- in my experience, information starts showing up within about a day, but it isn't always terribly useful except to indicate that the parcel's progress while still in the US is slooooow. (The status of my first Black Friday parcel currently reads "shipment in transit to destination", which is really amazingly specific, right?)

And once it's left the US all bets are off anyway, because whether or not any more tracking information shows up seems to depend on whether the postal workers along the processing chain actually update it. I've received parcels before which, going by the tracking info, never actually entered my country. :shrug:

[Quasiquixotic]

I was frankly surprised when hubby brought them home last night. My tracking said estimated delivery Friday. I have no clue how the hitched a ride on the Tardis and got here so soon. I wish they would teach all my packages that trick.

I officially love the Sunnie flexi.

Thank you all for the oohs and awws. I can't wait to see your beauties. I'm hoping to get some action shots today.

[Shorty89]

now this is a pretty one!

http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab76/heletwo/20151202_201725_resized%20800x449_zps1q7mjapr.jpg

bad indoor lighting picture, it was dark out by the time i got the mail. I'm really proud of myself, this is the only one i bought in the sale! I was also really surprised i had no trouble with the site, i bought it maybe three hours after the sale started.

Now I'm sad that I didn't get that one. :P I'm still waiting on mine. They're shipped but I don't remember how long it takes for them to get to Canada.

[StellaKatherine]

Now I'm sad that I didn't get that one. :P I'm still waiting on mine. They're shipped but I don't remember how long it takes for them to get to Canada.

Yeah, I wish I had ordered that one as well :( It is so beautiful!!! :crush:

[StellaKatherine]

Anyone would remember if there are any sales after Christmas ? I mean , usually :D

[parkmikii]

Anyone would remember if there are any sales after Christmas ? I mean , usually :D

I was thinking about the same thing..
I did a quick search and it looks like they had a 10% sale on Christmas in the past ^^

Willowyn, I have very fine slick as ice delicate hair, and my XS flexi holds a pony all day without damaging my hair. I couldn't quite believe it. Totally sold.

Eta: @Christine-O.

Of course you. Your hair is simply, well...:agape:

[TrapperCreekD]

Maybe my pretties will arrive today? My tracking has been frustratingly silent, the last event was two days ago!


Everybody's flexis looks so pretty!! :crush:

[Sparklylady82]

Mine are at the post office...in town!!! Hopefully today

[two_wheels]

I got mine. Excitement!!!!!
Except I ordered an xs festive leaf and received an xs fall harvest. Sigh.
Hope they can put it right. It's the first time anything's gone wrong for me and I can see how it can happen (the name makes you think it would be a leaf).

[rags]

I got the second order I placed, the second day of the sale - but haven't received the first order yet. :lol: Wonky and weird shipping this time around! :p

And I'm in the group that thinks the Iris is much more lovely in the pics here!

[AlyBlu]

Still waiting! Photos look great.

I'm very happy! Still figuring out how to use them. The lwb wants to go crooked! Ha!

Hope I get my second order soon.

[eadwine]

Just yesterday a lot of my hair came off again so I am back from tailbone to little over BSL.

My bun didn't work anymore, hair too short! But reverting to the old technique and of course the power of the flexi I managed.

Here's grace!

http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o518/eadwine/Haarspul/bun_2.jpg



My ladybug should be here very soon. The other one's tracking still doesn't work.

[AlyBlu]

Eadwine, any particular reason for the haircut?

[Kiwibird]

Your Merry Iris looks great Mele. :)

[Adiro]

So many beauties, ladies
Sparklylady, I particularly love your red stone flexi! Eadvine, y,our hair looks fabulous even shorter and the grace flexi is beautiful!

Darn, I don't need any more flexis, but now I really want a scarlet red one...

[eadwine]

Eadwine, any particular reason for the haircut?

Nope. Just that it was needed :)



Eadvine, y,our hair looks fabulous even shorter and the grace flexi is beautiful!

Thanks!

[KittyBird]

Gorgeous, eadwine! Glad to see that the flexi-8s still work for you at this shorter length!

My ladybug is still far away, it hasn't left USA yet according to the tracking, so I had some fun with two of my L flexi-8s instead. I made a disc bun and clipped each loop down with a flexi. The result was a nice, messy bun with sparkly accents on the sides. It holds so well too. I think I might have tried this before, but it must have been long ago. It's an awesome way to wear smaller flexis :D

I miss the time when flexi-8 did custom orders.. I have so many flexi-8 designs I'd like them to make for me. :(

[lapushka]

It'll grow back, right Eadwine? :) Pretty. It's a little bit of adapting where the bun is concerned, I'm sure, but it still looks equally lovely!

[eadwine]

It sure means adapting.. when swimming it constantly came loose LOL I'll be glad when that one flexi is here!

[Sparklylady82]

[Kaya]

Gee, all these photos of lovely Flexis are making me doubly impatient for mine! Especially the Merry Iris! :mail:

According to my shipping confirmation/tracking info e-mail, 'shipping label has been created' despite being shipped on Nov. 30th. :rolleyes:

[lillielil]

Merry Iris is just about the prettiest thing I have ever seen! This is the first time I have really been tempted to buy something when I have a legitimate need to stay in time-out.

Here's my 'do today - french twist held with a S Copper Rose and two rose You-Pins (at the top of the twist, mostly hidden in this picture)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/geobabe/hair/c493f856-a570-4137-8857-9e4cb98db573_zpsce2zmm0z.jpg

[RebekahE]

I bought two flexi-8's recently. The small for half-ups fits fine. The large however will not fit in my buns. I contacted Lilla Rose and hope to exchange it. I had debated between the large and medium for my buns and the large doesn't even fit! lol

[JadedByEntropy]

Beautiful KittyBird, SparklyLady, and Eadwine!!

I'm thinking I should return my Merry Iris, it's catching my hair - a first for a flexi - the two times I've worn it...:hmm:

they're sold out in that size

That is so cute! :D

Thank you! I'm very pleased with myself for doing something other than a LWB today.

[eadwine]

Has anyone else had it happen that a tracking number didn't become available or took DAYS? It's been three now and still "This Tracking Number could not be displayed:"

[two_wheels]

Eadwine my recent order took 5 days before they shipped it. Unusual- maybe lots of people ordered and there is a backlog?

[Eilliania]

Has anyone else had it happen that a tracking number didn't become available or took DAYS? It's been three now and still "This Tracking Number could not be displayed:"

It's the same thing here. And I got the notice that my order was shipped on the 1st.

[Zesty]

lillielil, that is so so pretty!

My tracking number took a day or two to even register as existing, and then it didn't update for three days, then it suddenly was in town with tomorrow as the delivery date. :shrug: I guess as long as they get here at some point...

[eadwine]

Yeah.. I am just not used to the thing not getting recognized. It always became available within 24 hours, not this one though.

It'll get here I'm sure. Ladybug is in transit to this country now, just waiting on the other one that I need for swimming, which is the one I am talking about now lol

[AspenSong]

They're HERE! My Chenoa and Merry Iris showed today! Action shots tomorrow when it's more light out! Love them both but man...the Chenoa, I super love it. It's southwestern looking, which is very me and I just love it.

[cat11]

My Flexis arrived too.. I wore the XL sunflower today..no pics yet though. :) I was amazed at how fast they came.

Got to jump on the photo bandwagon. Here's today's 'do: one XL Hoot with a pair of minis as side accents. Because there's no such thing as enough owls! :D

[lazuliblue]

The ladybug is so cute eadwine.

I really love the look of the chenoa AspenSong, I might end up getting it :lol:

My flexi is in transit to the UK, it's the 'colours on parade' which I have wanted for ages!

[eadwine]

Looking good Theobroma!

Minis look huge on my head :lol: I sold them both.

[rags]

Eadwine, the ladybug is adorable on you!

Theobroma, those owls are gorgeous on you, and I agree - never enough owls! :crush: (and you're an evil enabler. I did end up getting a Hoot because of you. :lol: )

[Theobroma]

[Alaska98]

I'm thinking I should return my Merry Iris, it's catching my hair - a first for a flexi - the two times I've worn it...:hmm:

Mine get caught more often than not. I keep on wearing them because they're pretty - just know I have to be careful when I take it out.

[Shorty89]

My tracking number isn't working. T_T

[eadwine]

How long's it been since the order? Mine took three to four days to get active.

[Zesty]

I got my order. I'm not keeping everything. The Salernos unfortunately either snagged my hair or the center didn't lay right, and the bobby pins were so tight they were (sadly) impossible to use. So these are the ones I'm keeping (and I love them!):

http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n120/Paisley_Love/mini%20copper%20rose%20flexi%20braid_zpspkcazqkw.j pghttp://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n120/Paisley_Love/French%20twist%20copper%20rose%20u%20pins_zpsl3cvj sak.jpeg

Please focus on the pretties and forgive the hasty hairstyles. :p Anyway, I think I need a L copper rose now, I love these so much.

[lapushka]

Ooh I love that braid, Zesty. A tiny flexi is such a nice way to complete a braid. :)

[Theobroma]

Those are beautiful, Zesty!

The bobbies really are tight... but on the upside, that means they'll NEVER fall out! I find I have to be really careful when taking them out, though, or they'll take some hair with them.

[Zesty]

Thank you, lapushka. I've never had a flexi small enough for a braid, but I loved the way it looked on others. I'm happy with the effect. :) Not sure what's going on with that picture though, it looks sort of pixellated and weird on my screen.

Thanks, Theobroma. I really couldn't get along with the bobby pins. I have long nails and I just felt like inserting and removing them would endanger either my hair or my nails no matter what. :shrug: It's a shame because they are very pretty. (As an aside, I couldn't see your picture with the Hoots, but since everyone else wasn't having trouble I didn't want to say anything... Is it from your LHC album and it's set to only friends or something?)

[AlyBlu]

Oh mine just got here! Finally!

My order arrived Friday and I'm so in love with the Marrakesh Romance I wore it for two days in a row. They accidentally sent me Mega thistle - at first I was a little disappointing because man, that thing is huge, but it works nicely as a bun cage and I just discovered it will hold a Helix bun, so I think I'll keep it.

http://i.imgur.com/w0Ib9iJ.png
It seemed so tiny, I thought it might be suffering from odd sized FOTM-ness but I compared it to my native filigree and it's the same size.

I wish I'd had a ladybug now! :p

[rags]

I love that ladybug, Eadwine!

TrapperCreekD, all of those are gorgeous, but the blue is outstanding! (Of course, i have a very serious blue prejudice, so.......:p). Still, they all look great in your hair and I like the Thistle worn that way!

LisaLong4Life, that Sapphire Ice is stunning against your beautiful dark hair! It makes the perfect canvas for it!


Ok, a question for all. Does anyone store their flexis bent around anything, as though they were in hair? Or does everyone store them flat? I'm considering wall storage for mine, and that would mean they would have to stay bent, and I'm unsure if that would be good for them or not? Because my bun is to teeny even when I'm not shedding that they really don't have to bend! (especially my minis, which I only use for half-ups). So - how do you all store your flexis?

[eadwine]

I hang mine on a knitted thing, all horizontal. Thinking of something new though, but that is how I do it now.

[Theobroma]

Mine just get piled in a drawer, so the 8's aren't permanently bent. Though I doubt it would harm them, since that's some serious wire they're made of. I ruined a set of needle nosed jewellery pliers trying to mod one. :O

[two_wheels]

After some major collection pruning I'm trying to rethink storage so everything is visible. Latest madcap plan is floristry foam in a little box then stand forks and flexis up in that. We will see.

[rags]

Ah, the "pile in a drawer" had been my strategy, and it seems to work well for my larger clips - but my minis are just getting sadly neglected as they just get in a jumble and I end up wearing the same two or three that are in front all the time. And as I have more minis than any other size - that is sad!

I actually purchased this to hang them on https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1090282175 but the "hair" is very coarse yarn, and is braided quite tightly, and it's much too large around to fit a mini. My mediums still have to flex to go around it. So I was considering making something like ti with a much skinnier braid. I'm mostly afraid that if one doesn't get worn for a while, it will stay flexed and not conform back flat? Hmm....

Theobroma 0_0. That is some strong wire then!

Two_Wheels, I already have four vases for some of my forks (the dymondwood ones live in a storage box to keep the light out). I've no room for any more vases and need to go on the walls! :lol: Yes, I'm a hairtoy addict. No, I don't care. This is AFTER major pruning!!

[AlyBlu]

My xxls hang on hooks, everything else is organized by size in light protective boxes.

Rags, I make no apologies either for my hairtoys!

[JadedByEntropy]

Oooh they're shiny and cute inside. I thought it was patent red, but i really like that detail

[eadwine]

I actually went back and looked at the store images, it does show clearly, but to me it did not at first sight. I loved seeing this upon arrival!

[lazuliblue]

Ok, a question for all. Does anyone store their flexis bent around anything, as though they were in hair? Or does everyone store them flat? I'm considering wall storage for mine, and that would mean they would have to stay bent, and I'm unsure if that would be good for them or not? Because my bun is to teeny even when I'm not shedding that they really don't have to bend! (especially my minis, which I only use for half-ups). So - how do you all store your flexis?

I store mine flat. Because my collection has grown rather a lot, I am in need of some new storage boxes though! I'd quite like a way to display the flexis, I've seen some people who hook them onto things and that looks nice.

TrapperCreekD those flexis look lovely, and I don't think the thistle looks too big at all.

My colours on parade arrived this morning! It's really pretty, especially when the sunlight hits it. I'm saving it for Xmas (along with fall harvest and hoot).

[Kaya]

Finally cracked and sent Lilla Rose an e-mail about my order. The tracking information has been stuck on "Shipping label has been created" since Nov. 30th. :( I'm worried something has gone wrong, or the package got stuck. Normally, I've had superb shipping time from them the last two times I ordered.

[Theobroma]

Today's twist, featuring Grace you-pins:

Right-click and select "view image" for a less blurry view. The board blows up my pics to more than their actual size for some reason.)

[eadwine]

I hope it'll get sorted soon Kaya!

Good idea to contact them, I've never had one take that long. I am sure that they will be able to help.

[Kiwibird]

You all look great with your new Flexis.

[StellaKatherine]

How many days does it usually take for package to arrive to Europe ? I did not get the tracking number, but the status is " shipped" . Just interesting how long could it take....

[eadwine]

It depends. Usually it'll get there within a week, or two.

You will get a tracking number in your email still I'm sure. If not, mail them and ask for it :)

[Lisa Long4Life]

Thank you rags:) I keep mine in a shoe box at the moment (with other hair stuff), I am up to 3 now - with 2 more on their way. :cool:

StellaKatherine the first of mine from this order arrived in 10 days (to the UK) but I think it usually takes 2 weeks. :)

[AspenSong]

Just a little FYI for Merry Iris owners - Watch your gemstones! I put mine on today and the second it flexed slightly, one of the big center gems popped right off. =( And sadly it went somewhere and I can't find it, so I guess a return will be in order now. =/

[AlyBlu]

Absolutely stunning!!! Theobroma!

Not good! What size?

[AspenSong]

It's a Large, AlyBlu. Totally bummed. But LillaRose got right back to me with a label to ship it back, so I'll get it replaced.

I've gotten hairsticks with that same type of flat-backed gems, and they are very fragile at being pried on. I glued my hairsticks back together a good bit-luckily catching the gems when they break. Be super careful with that type of sparkle.

[Theobroma]

I'm wondering how much the tracking info is worth on international transactions.

My first package has allegedly been "in country" since 4 Dec. No updates since then. Which doesn't surprise me all that much because the 4th was last Friday and Tuesday (8 Dec) was a public holiday here, so one would expect things to be moving more slowly while lots of people take advantage of a four-day weekend.

But... my second parcel was updated as being "in country" at 5:32 p.m. on... 8 Dec. So am I to take it that the postal workers were on the job on a public holiday, but left the older parcel to sit around anyway? It doesn't seem to make much sense that I can see!

ETA: Aaaand... parcel No. 2 has arrived, while parcel No. 1 is still nowhere in sight. Grr.

[Cornflake]

My Youpins arrived! I love them both so very much :o. The centerpieces are bigger than the ones of other Youpins. I really like how the black nickel hides in my hair!

[Theobroma]

Beautiful, Cornflake!

I stared long and hard at the Winter Celebration you-pins myself, and I'm still tempted. But I went slightly crazy buying Flexis during the last sale, so I really, really shouldn't! :D

[rags]

Oh, Cornflake those are gorgeous!

And I'll just quote Theobroma up there. I did a bit of damage during the sale too - but now I really want those Winter Celebration ones! They were in my cart and got taken out during the sale as I was trying to cut down some, LOL. Enabler! :p

[Theobroma]

Actually I have to revise what I said about the tracking somewhat.

The parcel I received today -- which contains my pair of mini Winter Celebrations with one altered to be a lefty -- was actually the first one LR sent out despite being the second order I placed. (Tracking still says it's "in country", though, so the tracking info remains pretty useless at any point after the shipment has entered the country!)

With luck their XL mate will show up tomorrow... *crosses fingers*

[Willowyn]

Theobroma, when you say altered to be a lefty, do you mean that the "hinge" would be on the left so that's the side you'd insert the attached stick from, and that the point and latch would be on the right?

ETA: If yes, then Arete's pic is of a lefty??

[Theobroma]

Exactly, Willowyn! That's the only kind of "customisation" they currently do (I'm still hoping for actual customs to return at some point, though). To get it done, you place the order, then email them with the order number and ask for a lefty clip.

I've done this twice now and have had no problems. (I'm a righty, but I've developed a taste for using two Minis as accent clips on either side of my bun, so for some designs I need one of them to be a lefty.)

[Willowyn]

Cool beans. Thanks. I haven't taken the plunge, but I HAVE been inspired to break out a couple of my good French barrettes so I can do some half ups occasionally. I also think it may be time for a substantial trim. I'm at MBL, and it seems I never wear it down any more.

Oh joy! Mine arrived today 😃 Was unsure about the sizes and ordered 1 in mini, x-small, small and medium. And after trying a few different styles, I might have to ordet 1 in large! Didn't think I had to as my hair is Apl and not that thick. Small is perfect for ponytail and xs for a braid. Medium works for a french twist and a sort of lazy wrap, but not for my everyday messy bun-style.

Oh well, luckily my bf just said "You can always order more" ☺ Now I just have to figure out which one to get!

My Flexis came today! I guess USPS just didn't scan the package, like at all, while it went through the system. :rolleyes:

Anyways, they are even more gorgeous in person. Two Colors of Parade, one L, one XL and three Merry Iris, one L and two XS. I'll try to post up a few action shots this weekend. I'm already wanting to get an Merry Iris in XL! I love the colors! :inlove:

Is there any way of knowing if they will restock of the Merry Iris you-pins? I'd love to get some, but scared they won't come back after selling out. :(

[Arete]

I find my package doesn't get scanned when shipped from Lilla Rose until after delivery. It'll say it's still in CA for the whole time until I get it and it's delivered, and then the tracking's updated.

I'd pay the cost difference of course.

My two Simple Bands in gold arrived yesterday. Ordered on the 27th of November which was the day of the latest sale I think. I'm in the EU but no problems with customs. Now for the fun part, trying to post photos for the first time : ) Let's see... Well, yay for really huge pictures. I can probably fix this somehow if I weren't too tired. Anyway, this is just me putting the Flexis at the end of my "going to bed braid", one Small and one X-large.

In the meantime, here's my stash--in nature, and lounging inside on a couple of my dresses (playing spot-the-flexi). The Winter Celebration (https://shop.lillarose.biz/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20856&CatalogueID=211&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=109.110), Merry Iris (https://shop.lillarose.biz/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20765&CatalogueID=211&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=109.110), Hibiscus Sea (https://shop.lillarose.biz/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20284&CatalogueID=211&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=109.110) and Hibiscus Sunset (https://shop.lillarose.biz/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20286&CatalogueID=211&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=109.110) are all mediums, and the Simple Band Black Nickel (https://shop.lillarose.biz/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20005&CatalogueID=211&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=109.110) is mega. Action shots to come when I wear them for WEO.

And bonus comparison shot of similarly coloured flexis (sorry about the light reflecting so much in the Merry Iris!):

Got my package, but my May- Grace flexi had an odd stick. Am exchanging that one sadly.

Heres my Medium Merry Iris. Hard to get a properly lighted picture on my dark hair. the second is the XL celtic knot in black which i'm in love with.

Update on swimming with a flexi: *thumbs up* Never had to redo the bun. I went in with the bun applied dry, and no need to redo it while I was in the water. Very happy alright!

[Crystawni]

Oh, yay, eadwine! I've always had success with mine, too. Actually, it's the only thing that will hold my hair, even when diving and swimming underwater.

[eadwine]

Yep.. until now I didn't dare swim with a flexi, but this simple one I am ok with for that :)

[Adiro]

So many beuatiful pictures !

I wish....

Well my package arrived yesterday, finally, and on top of being charged $29 in customs for a $72 order ( bah, these Canadian customs just don't want to let anybody get happy, ever! Almost 50% extra in custom fees, c'mon!) so on top of that ( no I don't blame anybody...) one of my u pins in merry iris is bent out of shape, with the decoration laying along the legs.... I just wrote to lilla rose, to see what happens, I hope that they cover the shipping back, because really they packed it so poorly, just in bubble wrap...

Anybody has experience with international returns?

Ugh, sorry your you-pins were mangled. Bubble wrap is fine for Flexis, but seems like tempting fate with the pins!

To answer (sort of) your question, the one time I received an item I wasn't happy with, I got in touch with them and specifically asked about the logistics of international returns. They replied that they'd send me a replacement and not to bother returning the faulty item.

I don't know whether this is the norm. At one point I did hear they were working on setting up an address in Europe for us to send returns to, but I'm not sure whether anything ever came of that. They may have been unaware that international postage within Europe can vary so much by country. It's probably cheaper for them just to write off the odd clip!

[Crystawni]

*raises hand* I'm just doing my first one now. At first I was sent the wrong info for a return/exchange after emailing them (it was for the US, not international) . And then I was meant to print emails, receipts and other stuff out, and scan stuff, and, and, and... no printer or scanner, and none nearby, so naaaaaaaah. Not happening. I have to pay the return shipping (I'm re-using the envelope my order came in) and they'll reimburse up to $4 US if I put the postage receipt in with the package... Well, it costs more here to send, so yay, and the package will be sealed, so they'll have to be content with the stamps and stuff ON the package that shows what I paid. All because they sent me the wrong item... And that's not factoring in me getting to and from the post office (have to organise transport due to waiting for parts to fix my car), and filling out Customs Forms (with ID). Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Good luck, Adi! It's a shame your You-Pin was flattened, although judging by my own package--no fancy Lilla-Rose bags or anything this time, just a zip-lock bag in the padded envelope--I'm not surprised. And those fees of yours! Wow! :(

ETA: There was both a US addy, and a European addy (Germany) to do returns to on the PDF I was sent.
Aaaaand I won't be getting my You-Pins sent to me until after they receive the wrongly-sent flexi from me. So, I'm looking at a month or two before this is finalised. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :rolleyes:

[Zesty]

Wow, I'm sorry so many of you are having trouble. Hopefully things will go more smoothly than you think. They really should start using boxes, I've found it odd that they only use the bubble mailers. Especially for international packages!

Now I'm slightly nervous about mine, but I guess it's a whole different ballgame having things shipped in the U.S., plus the free exchanges thing here.

[Theobroma]

Crystawni -- oh, yuck. International buying is all very well until something goes wrong, and then it very quickly becomes a very big pain in the neck!

From my perspective it's good to know, at least, that there is a German address for returns. I can probably just about send a Flexi across the border to Germany for the same postage that Flexi charges for sending it all the way across the Atlantic. That's how crazy shipping charges are in Europe...

Adiro, a thought about the flattened pin. Is it actually damaged, or could you rotate the topper back to its proper orientation?

I'm asking because I didn't like the angle of the topper to the pin on my Grace set. It was 90%, which looked a bit odd when worn, so I gently tried to rotate the toppers a little and it worked. They aren't soldered in place, there's a little jawlike hinge on the topper that grips the top of the pin by pressure, so perhaps you could try twisting it back to its proper position. You might have to re-tighten the jaws with a pair of pliers afterwards if the jaws have worked loose from the initial squishing and your attempt to twist it back, but in theory this could work.

[jennareid]

If they sent you the wrong item then THEY need to pay for all of the return shipping, or suck it up and let you keep it. It's basic customer service. I'd kick up a stink about it.

[eadwine]

In this case, yes I agree with jennareid.

[Theobroma]

If they sent you the wrong item then THEY need to pay for all of the return shipping, or suck it up and let you keep it. It's basic customer service. I'd kick up a stink about it.

Yes, good point. It was their mistake, not yours, Crystawni!

[rags]

I agree with the others, Crystawni - they should pay entirely for the return shipping as it was their mistake!

Your others are very lovely, though! I can't wait to see that hibiscus in your hair particularly. I think it will be stunning!

[Kiwibird]

I sent a Flexi back in October. It was a Fantastic! in m. There was something on the CP and I used a hankie to remove what ever it was and the gold came off and they offered me immediately a new one. I accepted it and it was no problem at all. I sent mine back to Hamburg, Germany and within 4 weeks I had a new one. Have to say that I live in Germany.

[KittyBird]

Agreed. Lillarose made the mistake, so they should pay for it.

[samanthaa]

All the flexis in this thread are so beautiful! I was so inspired that I bought my own—my first ever hair toy! I got a small copper rose and so far have used it only to secure a Jamie Leigh bun. Loving it so far, though my scalp doesn't exactly enjoy the fact that I'm wearing my hair up so many days in a row because of it...

Here's a picture (sorry for the blurriness—I have such trouble trying to take photos of my own hair):

http://i.imgur.com/yjiprzN.jpg

I think I'll get a larger one for my next purchase. I have pretty thin hair, but bunned I think a medium or a large will hold quite well.

[Crystawni]

Well, thanks to the encouragement both here and the hubster, I "kicked up a stink"--well, voiced my concerns before bed last night, and received a lovely response this morning. My You-Pins will be sent ASAP and I get to keep the flexi as a gift for me, family or friend. :D Thank you all for prying the screaming voice from my head to my fingers! And thank you, Lilla Rose!

I have tried all my new flexis in my hair, but no pics until I wear them "properly". Gotta say I love them all, though! Aaaaand, I can now wear a medium as a ponytail holder (size small is my norm, but my hair has sprouted...).

As for recent action pics on here, samanthaa, your copper rose is a stunning first hairtoy for you! Just perfect! Really perfect! And I LOVE the Merry Iris on morrigan, Kaya and JadedByEntropy (and the Celtic Knot!). Theobroma, the Winter Celebration is so elegant on you (as are your You-Pins shown earlier!), and KittyBird, your ladybug is sooooo enabling (after eadwine totally reeled me in with hers...)!

[Zesty]

samanthaa, Copper Rose is my favorite, and it looks stunning on you!

I'm glad you got it resolved Crystawni, without having to kick up *too* much of a stink. :)

[eadwine]

I am so glad they sorted it for you!! That is the service that I am used to.. and sorry for the reeling hahaha ;)

[Crystawni]

:D Me too, eadwine (if I had your dark hair, I would've jumped at the ladybug already--it's perfect for you!) and Zesty (did you pull the trigger on getting a large copper rose yet to add to your blooms?).

[Obsessed1]

They're cute. I need to experiment with different hair accessories

[Adiro]

ladies, thank you for advice

i did get a reply that I have to ship it back and they will cover up to $4 of the shipping cost ( duh, canada post is $8.13 for smallest package without tracking or $15.60 with tracking...) now I'm supposed to have extra expenses in shipping it back too.. i just told them that shipping is more expensive than what they are willing to cover but they didn't reply back....

Theobroma, thank you for advice...one clip is definitely soldered in place, cannot be moved or bent at all. the "wrong" one I can see the little hinge but the flower is having so much "play" that it doesn't want to stay in perpendicular position, like the one which seem soldered. initially it was fully flat along the legs... Of course I could put some glue and fix it, but still... paying so much for two pins, one would expect them to be good, not home fixed from the beginning....

Hmm. I had a closer look at my Grace pins and you're right, there's some sort of fill inside the jaws of the "hinge". I was able to shift mine slightly anyway, but I suppose one shouldn't bank on being able to do that on every pin!

Anyway, stay firm. If your order arrived damaged because the packaging was insufficient to protect it in transit, it's their mistake and you should not be penalised for it. Do you have a consultant? If so, I'd get in touch with her about the issue just to keep her in the loop and make sure you concern gets heard by as many people as possible who could make a difference. LR customer service has always been absolutely first-class, but I'm not liking this recent spate of asking international customers to pay return postage for being sent the wrong item. If this is the start of a downward trend in their customer care, we shouldn't just silently accept it.

[Zesty]

Crystawni, I definitely did on my latest order. I may have also considered another set of pins.

(And I got a mini winter wonder...)
(I may have bought matching pins...)
(And I couldn't resist a sunflower mini!)
(And of course I needed the sunflower pins too...)
(Don't look at me like that.)
(I have a problem, okay?)

[Kaya]

***A heads-up for those who wanted to get the Merry Iris You-Pins. (I've been stalking the webpage, hoping to order a XL Merry Iris...:o) Anyways, I noticed when I clicked on the you-pins, despite the sold-out banner striped across the photo, if you actually go to the product page, you can order them. At least, they show a count of remaining items in stock, which went down by three when I placed my order! :D So, I'm waiting for an e-mail saying that it was a website glitch and they aren't actually available, but until then, I'm happy! So get 'em while you can!***

An action shot of my XL Colors on Parade. I have it in L as well. The pin is a bit long on the XL, but it fits my bun better; I don't feel like it's just barely stretching to fit like the L. Guess it just depends on the bun. Love this one! And I'm getting used to the soft tinkling of the gem drops of the tail. :crush:

[earthybee]

That's so gorgeous Kaya :crush:

[b70]

My first flexis arrived last week - a montana in S, a elegance in XS and a fascinating in M. I love them! The XS fits a ponytail but slides out of half-ups, I'll need a mini for that. The S fits peacock twists and french twists, an an M holds twisty bunny things (my hair is noy yet long enough for proper buns). And they hold my fine slippery hair so well - my profile photo shows Montana in S in my hair after a days work :)

[StellaKatherine]

Why oh why I didn't get merry iris when I could :( Looks so stunning on everyones hair !!!! :crush:

[Eilliania]

Well my Hoot arrived 2 days ago. I can now understand why everyone like them so much. :D

It holds my hair well, and L fits well, imo at least. Now I need more flexis.

Everyone's pictures are beautiful. :)

[AspenSong]

Has anyone in the US experienced some super long shipping? I ordered my Charlottes Web the second it came back in stock and the tracking has shown it departed Compton, CA for 7 days now. No updates, no package has shown up....etc. Never has taken so long before and I'm kind of wondering if I should contact them because no activity in a week since it supposedly left on a truck, kind of makes me nervous. =/

I had a very similar situation with my last order. It was stuck on 'shipping label has been created' somewhere in California for the entire time it was in transit. I wrote Lilla Rose and they responded back to wait a bit longer. I kid you not, the package was delivered within the next day or so. Evidently, this year during the holiday, USPS can neglect scanning packages as they progress through the system entirely. :rolleyes: Add in the extended shipping times dues to the holiday rush, I wouldn't be too worried. But it never hurts to get in touch with LR s ust in case.

(Mind you, my orders have to go the length of the US and then some to the UK, but they are handled through the USPS the entire way. I usually have pretty decent delivery times, but this last one seemingly took forever.)

In other news, the order I placed earlier today has shipped. So either the Merry Iris you-pins are indeed in stock and they haven't updated the webpage, or I'm getting a different style entirely! :D

It's obviously a spider conspiracy. haha. Yeah, no change on anything and it didn't show today. Booooo. Hope we all get our goodies soon!

Bahahahaha! I have the same problem, so a problem shared is, um... gone! Yeah. No problem!! :p Can't wait to see your pretties!

And Kaya, that's beautiful!

AspenSong, I can't comment on the slower US delivery, but I can say my tracking number didn't work AT ALL with my last order. And I don't even know if my You-Pins have shipped--I'm guessing they will just turn up... Adi, I hope they've responded to you by now. It took many hours before I heard back the last time.

Today I'm wearing my Winter Celebration medium flexi in a rough and low bun/flip kinda thing. :) Love this one (it also looks great nestled in the centre of a wrap bun, or with a French-twisted ponytail, or ponytail, or, or, or... Yeah, it's versatile!

I'm so excited to see this one so it makes the wait so much worst. I hope it's a fluke. Please post action shots. My flexi's action shots at APL are :confused:

[excentricat]

I've just gotten into the flexi craze too. And now I have 3.

As far as shipping, every package I have sent or received in the past two months has missed at least one scan, making it appear to be sitting around going no where. Very frustrating, but I hope your package comes soon!

[cat11]

I totally ordered the Charlotte's Web flexi in XL , too. I was really dissappointed when it sold out before, I was hoping they would bring it back !

$8.00? I shipped mine back for about $5. (From Western Canada)

[AspenSong]

My Charlottes Web showed today! Phew!
Which is funny...no tracking info on it and it showed today. A package from Quasi that said it would show today...no show. Crazy postal system!!

I still need to print all my paperwork and get my Merry Iris sent back for replacement. Keeps slipping my mind. =/

[Adiro]

Shorty, yes... It needs to be under 50g and to pass through their slot ( about 2 cm thickness) in order to go for $5.U Pins with a large head don't go through the slot.... I am guessing you shipped a flexi, not a pair of u pins.....

[Adiro]

Crystawni, thank you for your concern.... Yes they finally answere today.... After I sent another message yesterday... They said taht they would replace my pins and I don't have to ship back, ( I guess because they don't want to cover the mailing expense...)

And what a beautiful little flexi, The winter celebration is, in your hair!

[Adiro]

Wow, you are the perfect model for this clip! I don't think I ever liked this flexi more on anybody than I like it on you... So the tail gems are moving? Jingling? How cute!!!

Thank you, Adi, and I'm soooo glad Lilla Rose responded to you in such a positive way! Our mail system with non-rigid envelopes is the same with the weight and 20 mm slot (I gauge the size at home through a 20 mm hand-hold slot of my plastic bread board if the package is small enough. :p). The price hikes in postage after that small weight/size are ridiculous (at least here).

I've found mediums, instead of smalls, now hold my ponytail as I've had a bit of sproutage. Aaaand, as that's the case, a medium can also hold a lwb or other centre-held bun if it grabs the stem of the bun (ponytail-size) with the bun(ny)tail tucked and wrapped around that stem.

Still waiting - this is the longest I have ever waited on an order!

[Sparklylady82]

Wow, so I've been waiting for my 1/2 off and free items (i was a hostess) from lilla rose for three weeks. I was finally able to get my consultant to call them and they show my package was delivered to my mailbox on December 8... no where to be found. I still need to call the post office Monday but it looks like my stuff got ripped off. I was so excited...

[eadwine]

Aww noo.. I hope something can be cleared up at the post office :(

[AlyBlu]

Not good, hopefully they can sort this out for you!

[two_wheels]

I hope they fix it too!
Forgot to say but LR totally fixed it for me. I received the wrong item (xs flexi, wrong design) and they are shipping me the one I wanted and said to gift the one I received. Anyone in the uk want an xs fall harvest freebie?

Oh, I'm in trouble now. I love that on you, Crystawni. Something like that for a half-up would be so nice.

I hope they fix it too!
Forgot to say but LR totally fixed it for me. I received the wrong item (xs flexi, wrong design) and they are shipping me the one I wanted and said to gift the one I received. Anyone in the uk want an xs fall harvest freebie?

Thank you, Willowyn! I was worried the mega would be too big, but XLs don't cut the mustard over my cinnabuns, so had to give this a try! I went for a more understated look as it's so large, which I think the Simple Band Black Nickel delivers, as it has that black neutrality plus softness of colour that seems to play with the lighter hair colouring well.

Today's Flexi is Winter Celebration (https://shop.lillarose.biz/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20856&CatalogueID=211&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=109.110), large, holding a quad-coil LWB where the last coil is split to the left. The flexi looks sooooo small as it grabs the coils, but I like how the centrepiece pops.

Such lovely pictures...

eadwine, cute Christmas 'do!

Crystawni, your action shots are awesome as ever! I love the Winter Celebration in your hair and that bun looks so elegant and intricate -- is there a tutorial anywhere? As for the Mega, how do you find it holds when it goes all the way around the bun like a buncage?

I'm not sure my shed recovery has advanced to the point where my bun is firm enough to handle a Mega. The sheer weight of the pin could turn out to be a problem...

It looks like my flexi won't come here before Christmas :( So disappointing :(

Ahh! It's wonderful on you!

Lilla Rose does a really good job of putting me off nice Flexis lol. I really don't like that owl clip on the website but it always looks nice in "real life" pictures. I've noticed that with some of their other clips too. I've been convinced before solely by LHC photos.

I love how festive that is, eadwine! Pretty! You're jumping in the Christmas joy early this year. ;)
