Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@veronika23 Products that contain menthol - especially lip products!  I just tried on Buxom Full-On Lipstick in Las Vegas and liked it enough to purchase, and would have tried other shades...but it doesn't  tingle -- it almost stings!

RE: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

Pet peeve of this thread is clicking on a photo comment and then when closing out of the photo--the thread scrolls all the way back to the top 😣

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

So another recent peeve of mine is when someone is trying to push their product on you..

An acquaintance of mine got into her own sales of R+F products (they are the once who created proactive). Duhh it makes since she has to make money, but just posting pictures without giving away some samples to try, it makes it sooo annoying.  I try all of my products before purchasing them.

 

Pushy sales people = annoying 🙂

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

It's so strange to me how people can expect their acquaintances to spend $150 on an eyelash treatment or $300+ on a skincare set. Okay, yeah, I'm Rouge at Sephora and platinum at Ulta, but at least of something really doesn't work for me, I'm able to return a product guilt-free and not have to tell a friend who sold me hundreds of dollars of skincare that, "Oh, sorry, that set really doesn't work for my sensitive skin." What happened to the days when we could support a friend by buying $25 worth of Avon sunscreen/bug repellent and some fun costume jewelry? That seems far more reasonable to me!

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

Well that's why apparently they have money back guarantee... I mean this is too much hassle for me.....at least

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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. 

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

 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? 😕

 

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

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

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! 

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@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.  

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@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.

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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

 

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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. 

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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 😞

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

😄 😄 😄

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

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?!?
