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!!!
@whitepolkydots, that is so so kind of you to offer! 🙂 Let me PM you quick.
That's so incredibly nice and thoughtful @whitepolkydots!
Oh no! Sorry 😞
Trying to find good lighting for a selfie and failing -___-
Mystery Bags. Finally got my Ulta mystery bag the other day and it reminded me how much I hate them. I always get the duds. Evey. Single. Time. It gets pretty infuriating after a while, especially after seeing pictures of what other people received. I should just stop getting those types of promos. 😞
Mine is when people have all this high end makeup and 1) they're using old and crusty brushes that have never been washed and/or 2) they just throw everything in a dirty makeup bag (including unprotected brushes) to just rattle around o_O
That sounds more like a human pet peeve instead of a beauty pet peeve 😉
When people use BeautyTalk to benefit themselves (using unique promo codes without commenting/heart-ing, using other people's pics, etc.) but they never contribute to BeautyTalk...
@prti I've never understood why people do this. What does it say about your abilities as a blogger to create content if that content is based on the theft of information from BT and other sources.
@trishavt I know, right? I don't mind people finding info from BT or other sources but the least that person could've done is contribute to the forum. For 2 years she could've shared reviews, posted a good deal, or even just "heart-ed" more than 1 comment. She came back every year to get info about the Sephora birthday gift. I'm pretty sure if someone didn't call her out, she would've just come back again at the end of 2018. Don't get me wrong, I'm open to newcomers on BT but I just don't like people who take advantage of others. You can't just leech off of other people. It's give and take. Not give or take. :S
Sorry for the rant and sorry if I went overboard. It really bugs me and I'm feeling so petty today LOL.
@lyravega PM'd you 🙂 I don't read blogs either but that person triggered me to make this post lol
You've brought up a lot of good points @prti and I would not consider your comments to be a rant because they are legitimate concerns.
When a person comes to BT or any other forum and takes information there is a sense of "loss" because the people that work hard to maintain this forum feel someone has taken advantage of their work. People put varying degrees of time, energy and thought into every post on BT. Thats why giving credit where due is a sign of respect for those that post on BT.
Also, not contributing shows there is no desire to participate in the forum other than to take and re-blog information from BT. This goes against the sense of community that BT is known for fostering.
I'll end on a positive note. Whatever information bloggers steal is not as important as the community we have on BT. That's something special you cant find on a blog. All the people that post honest reviews, swatches, product release information and tons of other information blow all the other beauty blogs out of the water.
@trishavt I wholeheartedly agree with you on your last paragraph. I love to hang out on BT because people are so nice and helpful. I get to see swatches, read genuine reviews (glad I didn't join the Too Faced white chocolate chip palette hype :P), enjoy some memes (:D), and get updated on promos and new releases. I am thankful for all the people who have made contributions to BT 🙂
@prti It's ok. I understand your frustrations... I have similar ones and keep biting my tongue because you know... yeah I'm gonna leave that as is too LOL 😄
@veronika23 Hahahhaha! I think I'm going to go grab a drink to calm myself down 😉
...using multiple unique codes and coming back for more because you know... a billion wasn't enough.
I love the addition of the boxes in the photo @Insomniacmuffin!! 😄
