Triumph Lingerie Sample Sale Report September 2014

Hello lovelies,

Are you all enjoying Fashion Week so far? I never know quite how to chime in so I think I'll sit this one out. Instead, for the moment let's all turn our attention to the Triumph sample sale taking place at 168 Bowery this week. The sale will run from Friday September 5 through Sunday September 7 from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm daily. I already let you know about the pop up in the same space a few weeks ago and I was interested to see what they would do with the place for a sample sale. Well, enough padding, let's get on with it.

I'd say that pricing is fair for this sale given the sample sale prices at Natori, Hanky Panky, and Cosabella. Most Triumph bras aren't that expensive to begin with (you can find a lot of them retailing in the $50-$60 range) so this isn't the most dramatic discount but $25 is still an affordable price for a good bra. Everyone can't be Natori. I was informed that they would be replenishing the stock but that no new styles would be added. Both cash and credit cards will be accepted.

Bras are neatly organized by size and there should be no bra envy at this sale as most styles come in a wide range of sizes. As the little red tags are rather small, I thought I'd save some time and simply write out all the available sizes.

34 A, 36 A, 32 B, 34 B, 36 B, 38 B, 32 C, 34 C, 36 C, 38 C, 40 C, 32 D, 34 D, 36 D, 38 D, 40 D, 

32 DD, 34 DD, 36 DD, 38 DD, 40 DD, 42 DD, 32 DDD, 34 DDD, 38 DDD, 40 DDD, 42 DDD, 

34 G, 36 G, 38 G, 40 G, 34 H, 36 H, 38 H

All "homewear" is $15. Shirts, camis, robes, and pants range in size from small to XL.

Panties are $5 or 7 for $25. They are arranged in bins based on size also from small to XL.

Swimwear might be the best deal with items going for $15 and an additional BOGO Free offer. I mainly saw smalls among the one pieces but you'll have to check the tags. 

Triumph Pop Up Experience

Hi chickadees!

I usually don't do lifestyle/event posts like this because my life really isn't that exciting. I know. You're super shocked. However once in a while I have a pleasant if confusing afternoon and I want to share it with you. That's what happened last Saturday when I signed up for the Triumph Pop Up Experience on a whim. This is not a sponsored post. I simply signed up for the event and felt like reporting back to you.

I would like to thank Christina and Mina from The Village Beauty Lounge for a relaxing neck and shoulder massage and a very pretty pink manicure. My only complaint was that after she scraped the polish off my skin with her fingernail she didn't go back to do any clean up so I had to take care of that at home. Otherwise, it was a very nice, smooth paint job. I just asked for a polish change as I was in a rush. Obviously since I didn't do the manicure myself I can't write a review but I did get a free bottle of OPI Amourette Spotlight so I'll probably be reviewing it in the future. In the meantime, here are some swatches of Amourette Spotlight. She used two coats of polish.

 If you'd like to get your own bottle of Amourette Spotlight, Triumph is giving a bottle away with any purchase on their website over $75. Just use the offer code TRIUMPHxOPI. 

I was also able to have a bra fitting and to take a free bra home. I chose the Body Makeup Magic Wire Bra. After giving it a test drive, I find it to be fairly comfortable though the wide band can stab into my side a little if my posture isn't straight.

If you'd like to shop for Triumph lingerie for yourself in person and you can't make it out to storefront in Long Island, they are actually having a sample sale from Friday September 5th through Sunday September 7th at the same location at 168 Bowery. Hours are 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will covering this sale.
