Beauty Pet Peeves 2

The other thread was getting too long and difficult to load!

more of a general pet peeve but guess it's beauty related cause it prevents me from buying beauty products 😐

I was put on the wrong grant to fund my stipend (I am a grad student) and that meant that I was taxed for the month of september. Normally, I am not taxed when I am on the correct grant. Soooo i earned $400 less last month and didn't realize it until yesterday and I've been spending my normal budget for october. They are fixing the issue but possibly might not go into affect until November.

Hated it when we started getting taxed in the summer months 😞

I just received my most recent Sephora order and noticed that the packing slip was different! The samples that I picked arent even listed on the sheet, so I didn't get ANY of the ones I initially chose. Why even offer us the option anymore Sephora...

Anyone else?!

[StormedBlue]

Out of numerous orders I placed I have got one single order with right samples. I just toss them all into the bin. 

[imlostagain]

My last few orders with this new packing slip also haven't had the samples I selected. I did not have many problems before with getting the samples I chose, but I have not got the samples I selected since they have started with the new packing slips. 

I expect nothing less from Sephora anymore, It is just their normal.

I noticed it, @KatieJiang. My 2 last orders came with this new slip, but the samples in the box were correct. And I have had past orders that came with the wrong samples, even though they were specified in the slip.So I don't think the new slip actually changed the sample (dis)organization. It's some kind of lottery game, I hope they sent you at least a good one 🙂

Just found a woman selling Chanel boxes (the ones that come with your order, for free, when your order direct) for $20 each + shipping on Etsy.  And then she sells the ribbons that come around the box, separately! I can't help but feel she's taking advantage of people by selling for $20 something that's free and easily available. If she wants to get rid of her clutter, I think $5 would be a fair price - I mean, if the person is going to pay $20 +shipping, might as well buy a cosmetic and get a free box- from Chanel direct 😕

 I don't know why it made me so upset, at least she's not lying, like the people who sell Amazon's $10 costume jewelery, as "vintage" for $50 on Etsy

[wheeeee]

People sell the shopping bags, too.  I guess so that they can decorate.  Online you can see people framing this stuff.

I guess they want the logo.

There is this girl in Kijiji, always selling 10 foil samples for $25 "Firm" from Sephora. But she gladly puts "Value is over $50!"

-_-

[muttmutti]

Haha, I always see people do stuff like this and it annoys me so much! I seriously can't count the number of people on poshmark and ebay who try to sell the free sephora birthday gift for >$20. And there are people who sell the little samples you get with a promo code for wayyyy more than they're worth. But selling foil samples is a whole nother level of crazy! :')

[trishavt]

@DaintyDiva  You mean to tell me I could have sold those Chanel boxes instead of recycling them? And here I thought they were worthless and a waste of space this whole time! 😛

[DaintyDiva]

@trishavt You could have made a fortune 😛

I never had the courage to get rid of my pretty gift boxes. I got to the point where I have boxes inside of boxes inside of boxes ... 😄 lol

[veronika23]

Wow!  People sell stuff in the vintage section that isn't vintage??? I know I've seen some hand made pieces with stuff from places like Michaels but costume jewelry in vintage 😞  I love that section!

[DaintyDiva]

@veronika23, yes, the moxie of some people. I found out last year while I was searching everywhere for a brooch. A couple of vendors in the US were selling as vintage, those very cheap (but cute) brooches from Amazon (that ship from china)  😕 I recognized it immediately because I had one on my wish list.

[veronika23]

aww that's too bad 😞

[lipstick4soul]

I do kind of admire the audacity, lol. Maybe she will buy my stack of Chanel boxes for $10 each 😉

"vintage" on etsy is a little different in my mind since it is flat out fraudulent....

[DaintyDiva]

@lipstick4soul lol 😄 Maybe I should start selling mine for $10 (at least I'll have clear conscience that there is nothing for this price at Chanel's) and give her some decent competition. Can you believe she already sold at least 5 of those!

[lipstick4soul]

Wow? Really. I guess people will buy anything....

[makeitup305]

Trying to find dupes in my collection I discovered one of my TF Melted Mattes is MIA. No idea where it could be and it was pretty much brand new. So crushed.

[mishanyc]

Lost packages with UPS.  I did a live chat w a UPS agent to find out why my package hasn't been delivered and it's lost.  I was told to contact QVC and open up an investigation.  Yes, there are by far worse things in the world but I was looking forward to using my IT cosmetics brushes that I bought at a crazy sale price.  Hopefully QVC can help.

[mella900]

Oh no 😞 I hope your situation gets remedied and you can finally try your brushes out!
