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!!!
I feel confident that this has already been vented about before, but it's really annoying me today so I feel the need to vent.
I wish Ulta offered free shipping for Platinum OR atleast a lower minimum dollar amount than 50.00 for Platinum. I could even understand 25.00 or 35.00 being the amount that you have to have for free shipping for Platinum members.
I know shipping isn't that much.....but it's against my religion to pay for shipping. Lol. I feel that's money I could use towards something I want instead of just 'nothing.'
I tend to spend more money at Ulta than Sephora because I like their rewards program way better (getting to save money on things I actually want) but I think Sephora has a better deal as far as their shipping goes. Blah. 😞
thats why i haven't placed my nyx order yet, looking for the 20 percent discount to pop up so that my brain can accept the shipping cost.
LOL this is honestly why I shop there like twice a year. Sephora take all of my money!
I agree with you 100%. I actually shop at Sephora more because of their free shipping, even though I like Ulta's reward program is better and they have better GWPs. My online shopping at Ulta is limited to their 20% off promos or if they've put free shipping on a particular item I've been wanting to buy. They do this occasionally, like during 21 Days of Beauty, or when a new foundation comes out or something. If Ulta had free shipping, I'd definitely shop there more than Sephora. It's a silly reason to choose one company over the other, but when things get really competitive, especially in the beauty world when things so rarely go on sale, the $3-$7 extra on shipping can make or break a purchase.
sighhhhh, the shipping struggle is so real.
I agree completely, the rewards program & GWPs at Ulta keep me coming back for more. I don't really usually mind the whole 50.00 shipping thing, but sometimes I want to use my coupons (like this 5.00 one off 10.00 we just got) but I don't really need to spend 50.00 on anything at the moment.
No, I totally feel you, that little bit can make a huge difference, I agree.
I also feel Sephora's bday gifts are way better than Ulta's, but that's another thing.
Honestly, this is like my only pet peeve about Ulta! I definitely love their rewards program and I love ordering online, but I absolutely hate paying for shipping. So then I end up just trying to hoard items I want until there's enough to hit the minimum. but honestly, if they had free shipping I would order more often lol.
I agree completely. I love their rewards program and I love ordering online. I just hate the 50.00 shipping thing. I agree, normally it doesn't bother me too much, because there's always stuff I want / need, lol. Then I have days like today, where it's frustrating, because I don't need 50.00 of stuff.
but I will NOT pay for shipping, lol.
My only other beef is that their birthdays gifts aren't nearly as exciting as Sephora's. Other than that, I tend to prefer Ulta.

"It's against my religion to pay for shipping"
I feel this on a deeply emotional level. 😄
We don't have Ulta in Canada, so I'm a total noob when it comes to them, but I'm really surprised by this! Especially when I see so many American companies willing to ship free within the US. :S
I couldn't agree more, @CaityLaine! That quote is the best I've seen this year @Asche! 😂
Hahaha, I am just so strongly against it! Lol. Glad to know I'm not alone. 🙂
Yeah, most places will. I just think Ulta should atleast offer something different for Platinum members, but oh well. 😞
I don't use this brand but figured if someone have both, they may have a reason to be "peeved"
ughhhhh she is the worst, period. i am not surprised by this at all, and i have a feeling her CS will just ignore all these comments, and try to sweep it under the rug 😞
i have no idea how her company continues to be so successful based on her name alone, because i've heard so many horror stories about how terrrrrrible their customer service is 😕
Like us beauty lovers wouldn't have noticed...SMH. 🙄
Well I am not very surprised by this. Ugh. Can't she just go away now. Thank you.
Right? There is literally *nothing* this family could do that would surprise me.
@ZombieMetroAnt Thanks for sharing! So not cool! I think my daughter has Blitzen, but I don't think she has Spice. I just ordered her some of the Valentine products last week.... ugh....
ETA: My daughter doesn't seem too disturbed by this allegation...But I may hold off on buying any more lip kits...
Whenever there's a product but not a full ingredient list! I want to make sure my sensitive skin can handle it and I literally have to go to the ends of the internet just to find it!
This is a peeve of mine also. I have a couple of ingredients that I'm allergic to, and I can't buy something without checking first!
It's chemical sunscreens that I'm allergic to. I hate when I can't check the ingredients! 😞
Companies that either don't offer email subscriptions to let you know when a product is back in stock, or they offer the service, but don't actually follow through. It pisses me off because I don't have time to check twice a day to see if it's back in stock. That's why I want the "email me when back in stock" option. Grrr.
Amazon costumers that don't understand the concept of "product review" vs "seller feedback". They'll give one star to a seller because they did not like the product itself (how is that the seller's fault?), OR they'll give one star for a product because one of the 20 possible sellers in that page sent them a bad product, but they don't even name the bad seller 😕
