My UPS guy is really nice, but he teases me about my Sephora and Nordstrom boxes. I usually do not have any makeup on when he arrives, so one time he asked what I do with all the makeup since I am not wearing it! LOL. I just laughed and said I have a hoarding problem. 😄

He meant no harm with his comment to me I think; but it is awkward and annoying when others make judgy comments about purchases.

[LolliLove]

Same feelings here. I know he didn't mean any harm, but I shouldn't be in the position of having to justify what I'm buying to a complete stranger.

[myumew]

What.. That's so rude and personal. I've never met my UPS/USPS/FedEx guys in person (they usually drop off packages at my door and flee), but I've had instances at my previous apartment complex where I had to pick up packages from the front desk. Since it was "so often" I always felt like they were staring me down lol and they made remarks like, "you again?" 😶

@myumew @LolliLove My regular UPS guy always seems to show up just as I'm getting home from work (which can easily vary by 2-3 hours from day to day) so we have a nice rapport.  😊

Sephora comments aside, he is super sweet, and was very concerned about me after he noticed dents in my car from an accident last year and then again when he saw me hobbling behind my son on crutches this afternoon.

My mail carrier is the same way! 😊

I live in a pretty big city, so it's really nice to have such friendly encounters every day.  💗

[LolliLove]

@Tamara76 Aw, that's really sweet! I'm glad you are less cranky than me.

[LolliLove]

I don't usually meet mine either, I just happened to see him out the window while I was cooking dinner, so I opened the door while he was walking up.

With all the packages I get delivered I'm making sure the delivery people have jobs.  That's how I look at it if they get irritated. Just doing my part.

[LolliLove]

LOL! Oh, he definitely wasn't irritated. He just thought he was highly amusing. I used to get the same type of thing when I worked retail - middle-aged guys loved to show me how funny they were. (spoiler: they were not funny)

[Tamara76]

So rude! 😞 @LolliLove

My UPS guy is cool, but around Christmas time, he asked me if I work for Sephora since I get so many packages from them - lol.  🙂

Happy Birthday, BTW! ❤️

[LolliLove]

Thank you! I clearly treated myself a few times....lol.

My orders also are taking 3-4 days. According to the site, if you order on a Monday am it will arrive by Wednesday end of day. My products are coming Thursday or Friday. When I called I was told it can take 24-48 hours to process. What? How can they manage a 2 day shipping promise?

[Anonymous]

Hm the site still says "And" for me (at least on the special offers pages)

Thanks everyone!

I had a tube of mascara at the perfect consistency and it was working wonderfully for me the last 3 weeks. NOT TODAY. You spend about a week getting that thing exactly where you want it, enjoy perfectly painted lashes for a while, then everything turns on you. Ugh.

[makeupobesessed]

Happy birthday fellow Aquarius!

[Tamara76]

Ugh!  This is the worst!!   😥  @alexasteph

[alexasteph]

@Tamara76 Then I live in denial and still try to make it work when it's obvious that tube is done for and I just need to toss it.

[CRAZY4MASCARA]

@alexasteph Happens to me too! I have so many mascaras yet don't want to get ride of the one lol

[alexasteph]

@CRAZY4MASCARA Given your username, this doesn't surprise me in the slightest 😅😂🤣

Another Beauty Pet Peeve today (I am on a roll) this time regarding Sephora

I placed an order last night and redeemed the TWOLIPS  promo after waiting around for a decent $35 promo for days..

I thought two lip minis for a $25 buy in was more useful to me than the $35 GlamGlow or EL perks. 

Got my shipping confirmation this morning and the lip balm was not listed. I check the site and now the wording is changed from an "and" to an "or."

Very obnoxious. Its relatively minor in life however it bugged me so much today that I sent an e-mail to customer service. 

Spoiler

 promo e-mail:

website tonight:

[Vineetha]

I received my order with the promo today and it had both UD as well as the Fresh Lip balm included! Wonder if they changed it later on because of stock issues/popularity 

[DaintyDiva]

That is sneaky of Sephora 😞

I'm super bummed too right now. Today I finally got the shipment confirmation from an order placed on the 13th. It was supposed to arrive today, but it hasn't even left the origin city. Double bummer: they canceled my Glamglow promo because it was oos by now. I'm sure if they had packed it when I placed the order, I'd have gotten it 😕 Triple bummer, I actually use glamglow and really wanted that promo 😞
