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

Oh man I feel you @lovelykatya 😞 ! She'll probably do a party with samples to try there if I had to guess. Once you've been to one of those types of parties you've been to them all lol.

 Macy's, specifically with buy online pick up in store function.

 Recently I bought a small Clinique item from Macy's using the said feature. I didn't have a chance to pick it up during the allotted time, so I simply assumed that it would be processed as a return and that I would get a refund. I never received any email about not picking it up (usually they do email if more than a week passes by without picking up the order), so I casually checked my account, and surprisingly, it was marked as picked up on a random date. I never even set my foot in my local store recently! Called the 1-800 number right away and got it taken care of, but I thought it was just super shady.. Granted it was a small item (~$20), I'm debating whether I should bring this matter to someone at the store. Am I being too petty? 😕

[candyrivera]

Definitely bring it up! This is not petty at all.

[NarNarNars]

Thanks so much, @candyrivera and @jesscheems! I ended up going to the store and reported the incident today. The supervisor I spoke with was very courteous and took this matter quite seriously. Thanks again for your input, ladies! 

[jesscheems]

Oh wow that sounds shady! I would report that!!

[heartsmyface]

@NarNarNars  Not petty.  That's actually quite concerning.  How many people does this happen to? And who would know to pick it up?  It sounds like an employee issue.  

[NarNarNars]

Makes sense, @heartsmyface. Thanks much for your input- will definitely discuss this matter w/ someone at the store.

[lippieaddict19]

@NarNarNars Not petty at all! That's crazy that that happened, especially since I'm pretty sure you're required to present a government ID to pick up an order. I would definitely contact the store and let management know because it is very shady.

[NarNarNars]

Thank you for giving me the reassurance, @lippieaddict19! Yeah, the ID requirement was precisely why it made me feel so uneasy. Craziness!

[blueviolet21]

Oh no! Hopefully you were able to replace it, I'd be so mad if my cat broke any of my skincare!  @myumew 

[jozkid]

@veronika23 my cats were never as destructive as my children. All they ever really did was take the decorations off the Christmas tree. 😄

[moxiepancakes]

My kitties have a a deep seated desire to murder nail polish. 

[blueviolet21]

Oh yes!! My cats also steal decorations from the tree, lol. And one of them is a makeup thief. She will steal small compacts like single eyeshadows and blushes if I leave them out on my vanity. She also loves to grab small brushes out of their containers, bat them down the hall, and chew on them. I realized that she absolutely loves compacts (like from Chanel, Dior etc.) that come in a velvet pouch and would 100% steal those, so I always toss the pouches out now. 

[myumew]

Omg that's adorable @blueviolet21 haha, I think it's cute when cats have that hoarding behavior. I haven't seen it in my cat yet. 

My cat loves to knock things off of my vanity. I had several serum and other skincare bottles break and spill all over the place 😞

[veronika23]

😄 😄 😄

[PreppyBeauty28]

Okay here's one. I've gotten a few mascara minis (the Too Faced BTS, Marc Jacobs O!Mega, BB Smokey Eye, etc.) that I've just fallen in LOVE with -- only to find that the sample size outperforms the full size! For example, the Too Faced BTS full size mascara always transfers from my upper lashes to my under-eye, but the mini stays put all day, even in 100 degree weather. What's up with this?!? 

[heartsmyface]

@PreppyBeauty28 Full sized mascara usually takes too much product in the wand so you're in fact applying too much to your lashes.  A swipe of the bristles on the mascara spoolie with a lint free nail pad will take off the excess and help with better application.  

[Nerisai]

I've heard that this is because the minis dry out faster, and IMO, a dry mascara goes on way better than a wet one

[jozkid]

So @blackkitty2014 why do they always go for the most expensive irreplaceable stuff, huh?

[heartsmyface]

I just bought baby locks.

[unfungirl]

Oh no!! I'm so sorry @heartsmyface!! My dogs have destroyed shoes/makeup/clothes before too 😲
