Beauty Pet Peeves 2

[veronika23]

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!!!

Oh wow that's insane. Nordstrom CS is quite amazing, so I'm sure they'll sort it out for you without any problem, but man.. I'm so sorry to see this mess!

That is so disgusting the stockings were used and mismatched! I am sorry this happened to you.

[DaintyDiva]

@angel7594 Thank you. You are right, the word is disgusting! I was just totally shocked when I saw it.

It wasn't even supposed to be stockings, just plain tights. I think someone just grabbed those nylons they keep out (so people can feel the fabric / color) and stuck inside when they stole the real ones.

[angel7594]

@DaintyDiva, It is appalling the theft schemes people come up with to cheat businesses, and unsuspecting customers who don't get what they have paid for (in the package). I've had really good experiences with Nordstrom customer service, so I hope this is made right for you.

[DaintyDiva]

@angel7594 and @NarNarNars The CS lady was very nice. Not sure she understood the part of the used stockings (I imagine it sounds weird), but she got that the tights never arrived really, so she said she would re-send them. I hope this one goes smoothly, I'm too anxious to deal with this... 

[NarNarNars]

@DaintyDiva Good that you are receiving the right pair. Hopefully the new shipment solves the problem for you once and for all. If necessary, you could voice your concern on their FB page-- perhaps posting a picture? Not sure if you are willing to do this now that you are receiving a new one, but if you want them to be really aware of this issue, it's an option.  

[DaintyDiva]

@NarNarNars I feel sorry for them, really. I imagine they too are a victim of this, so I wouldn't feel well vexing them publicly. But it's good to know of their FB page, I hope I'll never need it but it's always good to know. Thanks

Sheesh! Some people need more llamas in their lives... Just saying. ( Would benefit their beauty. So, it's beauty related. There. )

But...

Ok, something about this got me.  In honor of all the stolen photos and llamas (stolen llamas, or llamas that just made me smile)...

Unhappy with Sephora not giving us the 20% off sale yet Llama

Sheriff Llama matching hat to the new Bite lipstick release

Action hero llama looking for the right highlighter palette to catch the light (any BT recommendations for llama's coloring?).

And natural llama looking for an all in one neutral travel palette for out door looks.  Sorry...I'm bored...

@meganlisa

Did someone ask about what will be the best option for the lovely llama(s) coloring?

Depends on which lovely llama we're dealing with!

Outdoor llama is definitely a winter, action hero looks like a spring, sheriff is a summer and miser-a-llama is a fall. Now if everyone will please take out their copy of "Color Me Beautiful"....

[meganlisa]

@GennX You have a good eye for coloring!   I remember that book.  It's been years since I've seen a copy but now you have me wanting to take a look again!

[GennX]

@meganlisa

There's been a lot of additional 'stuff' added to the original 4 season "Color Me Beautiful" system, depending on which source you like best, there will be a minimum of 3 variants to each 'season' although there are a few out there I've seen with more and/or spin things a bit differently. Given that the first version came along in what - the 1970's?

And I've never been one to shy away from at least *trying* to help people asking "what colors do I look best in" kinds of questions, even if they get repetitive - but even I get to a point where I feel like I'm continually running into a re-bar reinforced concrete wall over someone who just doesn't want to accept that the one thing they refuse to consider changing (like their hair color being all one color and dark when it would naturally be doing what hair does as we age...greying!) is probably at the center of all their best colors confusion.

I can't find the llama song right now, I'll have to look some more in a bit when I've got more time!

[meganlisa]

@GennX I didn't even know there is a llama song!   

I should go back to the Color Me Beautiful system and take a look.  It's been so long.  My coloring is fairly neutral so easy (overall) but my daughter has totally different coloring and I never know what will work on her....

There are certain questions I've gotten a little tired of answering and certain debates I'm no longer willing to have.  But I think most of the time we help when we provide feedback!!!

Now I'm going to look for the llama song too....

[GennX]

Here it is!

@meganlisa

[meganlisa]

@GennX Love it!  Absolutely adorable.  The words are precious.  Thank you!  You made my day.  Want to bet I can't get the tune out of my head!!!

[GennX]

@meganlisa

It's definitely catchy. There are other llama songs but none quite like the original!

[meganlisa]

@GennXYou're my new favorite person!  It's just so fun.  Happy new year!!!

[GennX]

@meganlisa

Happy new year (even though it's a week into things now!)

[meganlisa]

@GennX Same to you!  Perfect timing.  My son has been home from school sick and I showed him the llama song.  Made him smile!  So I'm sharing!!!

[veronika23]

@meganlisahahahahaha LOL  stolen llamas??? Do you mean the pictures of llamas we take from google are stolen?

[meganlisa]

@veronika23 I caught only a glimpse of another BT picture argument and didn't want to get called out for stealing a llama picture from the internet.  These photos are genuinely borrowed!  But also credited!!!

My stolen llamas....
