When your so-called friends act like you're rich and should treat them more because you can afford to go to college, no student loans and still afford nice makeup and skincare.. Ugh! But they also travel, starbucks almost everyday, got the latest iphone, have expensive phone/cable/internet plans--all of which I don't do or have. I made sacrifices so I can afford my beauty "luxuries"/addiction plus with my sensitive skin that flares out a lot, I get picky with certain ingredients and textures. And I can't share my excitement of my hauls with them anymore coz they might feel like I'm bragging when I'm not. 😕 

On the other hand, I'm glad I found this community, I don't share a lot here but just reading your posts makes me feel better. 🙂

No judgement here, just love of makeup 🙂

[AmazingGrace333]

True! Thank you 🙂♥ ♥ ♥

Excuuuuuuuuuse me?!? I resent that! 😛

[veronika23]

Yeah I really these types of statement... those and the "I don't wear makeup I'm better than you attitude"... Why is it always some kind of competition. Can't people just let other people be and do what makes them happy... ugh.

this honestly has nothing to do with cost of cosmetics but level of skill 😄 ridiculous comparison seriously

anyway who cares buy Sephora because you like the brands and color or don't if you prefer only drugstore...it's not a competition

[AllysonJo]

Honestly though. I'm sick of being shamed for spending however much on my cosmetics.

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.

[Cupcakecandy]

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

[JenniferOhJenny]

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

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 😄

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!

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! 😛

[wheeeee]

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!

[moxiepancakes]

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.  

[tsavorite]

@moxiepancakes,

 I guess that you are swimming in Benadryl  right now!

[moxiepancakes]

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

[TriesToBoClassy]

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

[moxiepancakes]

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

[TriesToBoClassy]

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