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!!!

 OMG yes @sister13 that bothers me too. The worst is when it's one of my cats' hair, and it's so fine that I CANNOT see it. But it's ticking the inside of my nose or my cheek. Drives me nuts!

Newest pet peeve..

I enjoy writing reviews on products and posting them on the product page for others to use to determine whether they want to buy. And I 'get' that everyone has different things they are looking for in a product.. that face mask might have broke me out but left the next person radiant...

BUT, what grinds my beans is when I leave a very thorough step-by-step review of my experience with a product.. and someone votes it UNHELPFUL. 

Unhelpful? wtf. 

I think people are using the unhelpful button as the  DON'T AGREE button.

Kinda related, I wish all reviewers would be specific as to which shade(s) of lipstick/eye liner/eye shadow/etc they purchased. Telling me the product is great or awful without specifying the color drives me bananas, because some colors apply better than others from the same line, so the reviews for some products seem all over the place but they make more sense when I actually get a chance to test the products myself and realize that yes, some shades apply like a dream while others are patchy as all get out.  /endrant

@Insomniacmuffin Well first off, thanks for writing reviews in the first place.  I used to write reviews but kind if stopped as I realized I didn't trust most of them over an actual conversation on BT (BIC).  

Now I'm curious as to whether people liked my reviews in the past.  

Maybe be your down votes were because you weren't helpful in enabling the decision they'd already made,lol?  Who knows.  

[k617]

I actually have never gone back to check if people find my reviews helpful... but I have definitely marked many reviews as unhelpful, mostly ones that say "great product!" Ok, SOOOO it's great...but how and why??Or ones that say "broke me out". OK, SOOOO it broke you out, but what's your skin type? Were you using the product correctly?

[unfungirl]

@Insomniacmuffin Ugh! I hate that! Honestly the only review I would mark as unhelpful is if someone posts something completely unrelated to the product. 

[JayJayyy]

@Insomniacmuffin you are so right about people thinking thumbs down = disagreement! Those are probably the same people who write reviews before a product is released about how excited they are 🙄 It's especially grating when you really take your time to formulate a well-rounded review.

I go a while in between Sephora shops, during which time I salivate over dozens of products I swear I'll buy next time I have spare money/gift cards. Then I finally do a Sephora shop and get so overwhelmed by the sheer number of things I want, I'm basically paralyzed. It'll take me days, sometimes even a week obsessing over my cart. Which pallette? Do I need another pallette? If I put this back, I can get this... I didn't even know THAT was released! I'm terrible.

@RoadRageBarbie That has happened to me before - sometimes too many choices are a bad thing.  But look at it this way - you can always try and return!  Plus, once you (someday) have a bigger collection, then you hopefully won't be craving every collection out there.  🙂

[playingdressup]

I was excited to try one of my favorite limited edition shadows over a white base... And I got partway there, until I noticed the shadow is missing! Where has it hid in my unruly collection?! Why do I always leave things randomly around the house?! I'm sitting here sulking with NYX milk pencil all over my lids and a bright yellow crease. Argh.

Still no Kat Von D thread 😞

[veronika23]

@suzyodid you see it's back up 🙂 A bit of a mess but it's there!

Thanks for the Tag!

Alright spammers...

[darkiceis]

These are the mods before, during and after work yesterday.

[lyravega]

Are you friggin kidding me?!!!

[sydtomato]

Here we go again...

[lyravega]

Oh, c'mon! Not tonight!

[angel7594]

Yeah, I'm outta here. 😠

[ElleElleG]

Well that explains those short bursts of spamming we got late last night/early this morning...

Spoiler

This is beyond ridiculous at this point.  I know the mods have had to receive some type of notification(s) of reported posts & the volume of reported posts & mod tags should've indicated there was a serious problem.

I apologize if I'm extra crabby.  While it was my choice to try and help out this is the 5th day of large bursts of spamming on the boards, most of which have hit late night early morning.  To wake up after    < 3 hrs of sleep  & see that it's still going full force is extremely frustrating.
