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

Aww I'm sorry to hear that! Honestly, dealing with USPS is the worst 😞 Just recently I had an important package go missing and no one can do anything about it. The tracking says delivered but ??? phantom delivery.

When your credit card gets hacked. On a holiday weekend chock full of sales. And the new card won't arrive until Wednesday because of said holiday.

I hope that bleepity-bleep-bleep enjoys his/her rental car on the other side of the country. 😥

@RGbrown this won't help for this time, but if you have a card that generates new numbers for authorized users, you can add yourself as an authorized user and have a backup card in case something like this happens. I have backups of my Amex cards on my account by adding myself as an authorized user and when I had to cancel one of my cards due to fraud, I just used another one of my cards on the same account with no problem while I was waiting. This will not work for some cards like Chase since they give the same account number to authorized users.

This happened to someone close to me recently so I get what a pain in the bleep it is! So sorry to hear this happened to you and at such an inconvenient time,

fingers crossed everything gets sorted out quickly for for you ❤️

[AMK721]

Oh no @RGbrown sorry to hear that happened to you.  Just remember Karma.

[veronika23]

OMG NO!!!!!!  I am so sorry @RGbrown 😞

[Mcakes]

Oh no 😞 Sorry to hear this @RGbrown 😞 I just don't understand how these kinds of people sleep at night. Truly terrible, I hope you don't miss out on anything too good! 

[darkiceis]

That really is something to really be peeved about. Sorry to hear about that.

[annypoo]

I'm sorry to hear 😕 This sucks regardless when it happens (but def doesnt make it any better during the holiday weekend). What goes around will come around. 

[ShopgirlM]

Awww so sorry this happened to you, @RGbrown

I had it happen from Target during that huge fiasco several years ago and also from a gas station. 

For the the gas station one, I lived in charlotte and someone in Virginia was using my card. I actually called around to the merchants that I got from my bank and I had video of the lady using a card she made with my number. I told the cops and they didn't do anything even though I did all that work. 😞

i hooe you get that resolved. What a mess

I must post in this thread today.  

I have retail therapied to Kingdom come of late.  Finally it is the bloody weekend - which means I am home in daylight, I have got enough sleep, and I can try all the makeup and skincare to my little hearts content.

It is POURING RAIN!

There is no light outside.  None.  And all my various colour products look 50 shades of beige.  They are not beige!

In fact, they are red, orange red, blue red, kinda blue red, purple red, brown red,fuschia red, red, the other red, pink, and violet.

Can I threaten the Sun into showing itself?  I dunno, but I will try.

**** *** Sun!

[Annalily11]

This rain has been no stop! I want to try a bunch of fun summer fashions and looks on my days off but NOPE. Just rain keeping me inside.

[blackkitty2014]

Ah... send you lots of virtual hugs!!! @greenchilli. Hopefully the sun is out soon.  We are in 100+ degree weather over here.  Too hot! 😉

[CRAZY4MASCARA]

I had a sample of the Too Faced mascara remover (melt something) and I can't find it!! I feel like I've looked everywhere!! I've been looking forward to try it but now can't. I'm also thinking that the moment I stop looking for it, I'll find it ☹️

[liv545]

I know it's been mentioned but when you're asked which samples you'd like sent and noooooooone of the ones you get are what you requested. I buy things all the time based off of samples and it's super annoying to be looking forward to trying a particular item and then get some random man cologne or whatever. I know it's a silly thing but ugh. 

[tsavorite]

@liv545,  

We are talking about Sephora samples here, right? This is a big pet peeve for me, too!  Sometimes I don't even request samples anymore, because I know that I won't even get one of my requests.  

They apparently aren't even trying to give the correct samples from the Salt Lake City warehouse.  Ever.

[liv545]

@tsavorite I did this long rant and it now won't let me edit the initial reply to tag you 😂😂 

[liv545]

I just got my packages from when Saint/Sinner was in stock and the Roloxin mask. Not one!!! Of the samples was correct. And I didn't get the origins promo. I was fuming. I really wanted to smell Sinner on me 😭 I have this thing with refusing to return items(it's a twitch) so the samples are super freaking helpful. Like why even let us pick!?! Ugh. First world problems I know but it's ridiculously annoying when you're looking forward to a sample as much as the order and BAM Philosophy Purity......again. 

[tsavorite]

@liv545,

 I feel your pain and I agree with you.  It's not an exception anymore, it's a rule for me to not get any of the samples that I request from Sephora Salt Lake City warehouse.  Almost all my orders come from there.

[liv545]

@tsavorite  I wonder why that is? Like has anyone ever weighed in on why it went from being accurate to all over the map?  I feel for you, I really do. Getting samples that nobody wants super frustrating. It's like what am I even supposed to do with these? But maybe that's what the warehouse is thinking too?  Like darn it, 😂 we have to unload these samples somehow. Who's the unlucky winner today?

Extremely disappointed in NARS' decision to no longer be cruelty free.
