Beauty Pet Peeves 2

[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!!!

I wore wayyyyy more makeup last year (foundation, concealer, brows, the whole shebang) but when you wear a dark lip (NYX soft matte lip cream in copenhagen) guys just HAVE to comment it looks scary, or asks me why I wear so much makeup -_-

On the other hand, I got tons of complements and definitely am less self conscious about wearing darker colors.

Ha, some guys still think we only wear makeup to please them, huh? I haven't attempted super dark lipstick yet, but I'm currently obsessed with dark nails!

I am so upset right now. 

I bought an ABH highlight from Mercari. The pictures were of a real one but I got a fake in the mail. I contacted CS they sent me a return label. Printed and shipped it off. Waited waited waited. Got an email that because I didn't return the item the seller was granted the transaction. I replied explaining that I sent it off the next mail day and it shows delivered. Waited some more. Then they claimed that I did not send it within 3 days of receiving it there was nothing they could do. I got the fake Friday, got the shipping label Saturday, then Sunday and Labor Day PO was closed. So I don't get my refund:(

Did you pay through paypal or your credit/ debit card? If you paid PayPal, go ahead and contact PayPal now. If you have tracking showing it was delivered back to the seller you should be good.

 if you paid by debit card, if you don't receive a refund within 15 days you can contact your bank and dispute it.

Wow, that is some serious B.S. 😞 I'm sorry.

[StephaniLynn]

Today has not been a good day for me:( I emailed them back so hopefully they can work something out. 

[Asche]

I really hope they refund you the cost without putting up a huge fight. It seems completely absurd that they get to keep your money after sending you a fake product. That is totally unacceptable. 😞 

[StephaniLynn]

@Asche Thank you. I hope they do too, I can't help that they didn't send the return label until Saturday afternoon then for it to be a holiday weekend too? 

No where did it state that there was a time limit to send it back either, but in the rules it clearly states that no counterfeit items are allowed:/

[Asche]

I don't understand the logic at work. How are you expected to mail it back in 3 days if it was a long weekend?! The weekend alone was 3 days, and the post office isn't even open on the weekend. That is an impossible task. You'd think the time period would apply to business days only, especially considering it's so short. I hope that somebody on the other end is logical/reasonable. If fake products aren't allowed anyway then the seller really has no argument (imo at least). The whole situation is so outrageous that I'm angry on your behalf. 😞

I should have known better than to have my boyfriend join me for an impromptu stop at Sephora. He does not like makeup shopping; and is often surprised by the cost of certain items. A good reminder to me why this should remain a solo mission. 😄

[heartsmyface]

Mine knows everything!!  When he leaves me at Sephora he knows to be quick or I'll end up with a full basket😛

That is my face when he comes to fetch me though.  It's a standing joke that I run away from him and hide when he comes to get me so I can get in some extra browsing minutes, lol.

My husband quit shopping with me once we got married. I guess he felt he didn't have to take that bullet anymore. lol

[Haleyhale]

I feel like my hubby is oddly(but nice) about my makeup, maybe because he is into skincare because of his own acne issues in earlier days. He gets that it goes on my face, and I will pay whatever to not make me break out. Still though I use the excuse, if I do not use (certain brand) or whatever, I will break out in hives and allergic reactions to justify new purchases. Ah well. 

[wheeeee]

Yea, you can't tell men the whole truth!  They don't understand. 

When I buy my Latisse I just tell the hubs they are my eye drops and we have to pay the $100 because the insurance doesn't cover it.

He doesn't blink an eye.  But, if I told him what Latisse really was.......well, that is another story.  hahahah! 

[Tamara76]

Same!!!!  My hubby insisted on joining me Sat. afternoon while my daughter met up some friends at the mall.  We enjoyed a late lunch together, but I ended up cutting my shopping short after he commented on how much everything cost... I don't think he had a clue how much things cost!  I stuck to window shopping until my daughter was finished with her friends.

@angel7594,  

Solo, I'll second that!  🙂

[Asche]

Aw yeah, I can relate to this. My boyfriend likes to make awkward comments as well. Like loudly mocking the photos at the displays. -__- Once I bought a couple of eyeshadow brushes and when the cashier said the total he said something like "what are they made of?! Gold?!"

He seems to feed off the dirty looks the SAs shoot his way. One of these days they're gonna kick us out! 😄

[angel7594]

LOL! My BF makes lame embarrassing comments about products; or will sing to the music playing, dance, or do some other weird thing to ensure the trip is short.... 😄

[JiMi2006]

Going in for a makeover and I keep getting tips on how to cover up my freckles and how to fake a crease on my monolid eyes. I like em fine, thank you very much! 

[Haleyhale]

Well...f...my purse was stolen tonight at work. I lost credit cards, id. But also Nars Anita and Rikugien! My favourite nude lips. I'm so peeved at everything right now! 

[tsavorite]

@Haleyhale,

 That's so awful! On the bright side, it's very bad karma for the thief!
