[veronika23]

The other thread was getting too long and difficult to load! 

So what are your beauty pet peeves? What grinds your gears? Share your stories!!!

Oh my god, THAT'S what those are called! I had no idea! They have burrows all over my schools campus and  they are huge and terrifying and chase me everytime I walk by one of their "holes" ugh omg... I'm so sorry. @moxiepancakes

[wheeeee]

wow!  Take care.  Does not sound fun.

Hearing someone refer to the Too Faced Hangover primer as "Hangover X" drives me crazy. Why must I be so nit picky? 

[wheeeee]

Based on their cutesy packaging I see Too Faced as a brand more for teenagers (even though some products are very nice for all ages) and I also hate the name 'Better than Sex' mascara.  

No need for that.  Let kids be kids. 

[AllysonJo]

I agree, @wheeeee. You can't have products with names like "Boudoir Eyes" or "Better Than Sex" on the shelf next to a palette in the shape of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or that comes with stickers.

OMG @AllysonJo you're hilarious

[Annalily11]

There's definitely a bit all over the place with their marketing, though I feel like their prime target tends to be late teens to early tweenties. Not too old to stop wanting cutesy things, but old enough to also want risque thing (and old enough to no longer think they're too adult for cute things XD).

Can't or shouldn't? 😛

[AllysonJo]

This former English major should have known better, @GennX. 

[wheeeee]

LOL!!!

[makeupobesessed]

Why, what is Hangover X?

[AllysonJo]

The packaging has an x after the R. It's just a play on words: Rx means prescription. 

[Tamara76]

Hangover RX is an awesome primer, regardless of the name ;).

Ebates NOT sending cash out checks. Poor communication, well if you can even call "no communication" communication. 

Irritated beyond belief. 

Long story short:

-Saw my check was issued on the 10th. A week later it still hadn't arrived. Contacted CS and wanted to confirm which address the check was sent to. (I had moved and changed my address preferences prior to August).

-CS rep told me their process is to wait 21 days. He did NOT even tell me where my check was sent. 

-21 days later, STILL no check. Contacted CS

-Took 4 days to respond. They asked where to send my check -_- 

-Now they're telling me I have to wait until Oct 9 to see it. 

WOW.

[quspork]

Ugh. I hope you get your check sooner than that. I stopped using Ebates years ago because of their shenanigans. Now I use other cash back sites that usually offer a higher percentage back.

[veronika23]

Wow as if!  I seem to always have good CS... but that's ebates Canada.

[Julia526]

Wow, that stinks. Ebates hasnt even been working for at all. Two large orders through them and not one registered to the site. Been months since they've worked for me

[Julia526]

My hair tye snapping 😞 Recently, my hair decided to thicken up a lot, so i misjudge my hair tyes. It gets frustrating.

[rockstargina]

The worst!  I go through so many hair tyes.

[AllysonJo]

I'm fairly convinced that the NARS blush that I received from beauty dot com is a fake. 😞 Super bummed, hopefully they can reimburse me the 20$. 

[AmdSeph]

Would they not get into trouble for selling fake items? Legal issues? I know, here in Canada, counterfeits items cannot be sold as "the sale and production of counterfeit goods is a crime".
