Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

Peeve of the day: these Colourpop gel liners in the pencil form. I have two colors and they both flake so badly when I'm drawing them on. I have never had this problem to such a degree with any other pencil liner, especially supposed "gel" ones. Won't be buying these again.

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

agreed! I put in the things that didn't work for me thread-flake so badly and also break! It literally breaks of as I apply I am having luck with the metallic formula though I have overboard and find it nicely defines but isn't too intense like a black

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

Same - I only have one and I basically never use it. At least buying it wasn't an expensive mistake!

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

I posted about a week ago about some ebay person who opened a case with ebay against me, asking for a refund because she didn't receive an item sent almost 2 month ago. The item was shipped with tracking, which shows that it was delivered within a normal time frame.

 

Thanks to BTers' advice, i checked with ebay who told me that she didn't have a case. Having probably reached a similar conclusion, the buyer closed the ebay case yesterday by opening a Paypal case instead. Paypal checked the shipment history and closed the case in my favor. (Open and shut in less than 18 hours. I received the case opened & closed emails almost simultaneously for some reason.) So yay happy ending! Thanks again to everyone that commented 😄

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

Not sure if someone has mentioned this one: opening up your shipped package to find dirty or pre-used items when items should be new. Broken or shattered is one thing but used?? bleh! 

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

I've gotten a literal water bottle label/wrap-around that they put the brand name on plastic bottles sold in stores with in my package from Sephora, in the past. They could have at least sent the water bottle too, but noooo they just wanted to use my box as a trashcan! 😛

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

I had no clue cleaning my photo file was going to delete all the photos I posted on this board!  FUN!!! (not)

 

I have no face!

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

I  have bee stung lips right now... like stung by a real bee. It hurts so bad more than all the other stings on the rest of my body.  

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@moxiepancakes,

 I guess that you are swimming in Benadryl  right now!

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

Yep way too much benadryl, my coworkers find it excessively amusing. 

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

Holy moly, that sounds painful. Did you walk into a swarm of bees?

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

I was raking and accidentally hit a nest of cicada killers, they are a ground dwelling wasp like thing, the whole hive swarmed me.

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

Owwwww. I am glad you are not seriously hurt or allergic, but still 😨 I hope you get better soon!!!!

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

wow!  Take care.  Does not sound fun.

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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. 

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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.

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

OMG @AllysonJo you're hilarious

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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).

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

Can't or shouldn't? 😛
