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!!!

This is me right now, I've been violently shaking and banging the lotion bottle at my desk in hopes of getting something, ANYTHING, to move towards the pump.

I like it when male coworkers look over after hearing the racket that I am making and ask if they can help :D.

Spoiler

They could help by not using up all of my lotion. Seriously the guys are the ones that come by and use my hand cream all the time. The ladies at least ask and don't take enough lotion to cover a baked potato 😛

[angelKiss24]

Lol. They have no idea how much we spend on our lotions!!

Having to color match seasonally, le sigh.

I don't mind swapping out samples, stuff happens, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD never, ever, ever send perfume unless it's specifically requested, Sephora. If one of them breaks you essentially sent someone with allergies a freaking biological weapon. I'm gonna go throw up from my headache now....

[ElleElleG]

yikes sorry @bratknits I know receiving unrequested samples can be annoying but I've never considered how sending the wrong thing could lead to a bigger issue 😞

When a great gift idea hits you waaayyyy after the fact. I kept passing on the Naked Smokey palette when it'd go on sale for $27 because it didn't appeal to me that much since I had a lot of the colors, but now I just realized it would have been a perfect gift to pick up for one of my friends. Hope it goes on sale again. Even on sale it's a bit beyond our friend group's polite gift giving range, so I can't really justify getting it full priced as a gift, but now I sure am tempted.

Can I just put a general online shopping pet peeve here?

I've been waiting for the Rifle Paper Co. x Keds to be restocked, and I have never seem them on the Bay. Didn't think The Bay would get them since they're LE and we Canadians frequently get shafted on LE's 😞

Well, today I got the in-stock notification from RiflePaper.com and snapped up a pair right away... then I went to The Bay a few hours later and saw they had them too, and on sale!

With the poor CAD to US exchange rate, plus shipping...I paid almost twice as much to order from Rifle Paper directly. The ONLY thing that made me not cancel my Rifle paper direct order is that The Bay says the shoes are shipping from another store, and I wouldn't want to cancel my overpriced pair only to have the Bay also cancel my order...

ARGH!

On the bright side, I did order another pair from the Bay that I removed from my cart on the Rifle Paper site since I just couldn't bring myself to spend so much on two pairs of sneakers.

[Haleyhale]

😮 Just looked these up... holy cuteness! Which ones did you order?

Annoying about the shipping tho, Canada gets left out all the time grr..

[k617]

I got the Triple Decker in Wildflower from the Rifle Paper website, and then proceeded to order the regular Champion from The Bay! Currently both orders are still in limbo. Fairly certain I'll get my order from Rifle but it's questionable at this point whether The Bay will cancel my order....@haleyhale

[Haleyhale]

Love it! Fingers crossed it all goes through to delivery @k617

When you love pampering your skin but are often too lazy to do a full skincare routine. Another thread reminded me of this, but by not doing my full routine each night; my skin gets cranky so I pay for my laziness/tiredness. It gets annoying after a while of getting frustrated with my skin when I know why it is acting up.

Also, when a product looks like it would work well as a face product but is so narrow that I can't reasonably get a face brush into it. I know these are first world problems, but they still bug me.

[myumew]

I've been so lazy with my skincare lately 😩 and I've only been using moisturizer at night, gasp. LOL

[ElleElleG]

In the same boat as you all @KellW & @myumew  I've been slacking significantly with my night time skin care for a while now. 

[veronika23]

@KellWit's alright! This is the place to let out those little things that bug us 😉

[ZombieMetroAnt]

Getting a new badge for work resulted in a pet peeve....

[wheeeee]

hhahaahahah!   Tilt your chin down, eyes slightly up.  Then right before they take the shot......slightly turn your chin to your 'good side.'

Think Princess Di who was ahead of her time! 

Whatever you do don't lift your chin or look straight ahead!  lol!!! 

[mrsbaine]

LOL! HA! That's hilarious! But totally true! My trick with the badge dilemma is bringing dunkin donuts or some other treat with me to the badge office the day I have to go and then my appointment turns into a photoshoot where I get editorial rights before they print the badge. 🙂

[k617]

Ugh this is me! I just don't look great in photos compared to how I see myself...must be a mirror image thing.

The driver's license/passport ID is the WORST since I can't smile!

[angelKiss24]

Lol!! Literally me last Friday at the DMV for an unplanned driver's license replacement. 😝

[KellW]

@ZombieMetroAnt I once accidentally wore a foundation with SPF the same day I got my work picture taken. When I got my badge, I was so confused as to why I looked even more pale than I normally did, so I definitely feel this 🙂
