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!!!
@k617 I totally agree. I keep thinking maybe it's because I'm old and I hate feeling like that (because I'm not actually that old). But I just find myself skimming over the threads on the first page and they are almost all customer service issues that I'm not super-interested in, and then I give up. Trying to find the posts & people that I do want to read about is almost impossible, or maybe I just don't have the patience for it. Who would have thought that I would miss so many people that I didn't even know in real life 🙂 ? I haven't wanted to complain, because I know this must have been a lot of work and the mods are always great. I'm just a little disappointed, but hoping there are still bugs to be worked out and it will get better :).
Trying to do a wing on wrinkly eyelids. When did I develop wrinkly eyelids?
Ugh, me too. I never tried to do a wing until like 5 years ago, probably. And then, I keep trying to figure out if my eyes were ALWAYS this droopy, or if I could have once done a wing, if only I was young enough. I find myself trying to look at old pictures and figure out if there was ever a chance, lol. @heartsmyface
Ugh, ditto. Wings are tricky enough without having to account for a third dimension. And liquid liners can be finicky...a feathered look from it following the valley of the wrinkle in that split second before it dries is so not cool. Such a pain!
I thought Sephora was going to be cracking down on this. It's a pet peeve of mine too. I'm not interested in what you have to say if you haven't tried the product.
@k617 This also really bothers me, but I have to admit that I didn't know these were named after Buffy and now I feel like I have to go take a second look at them 😉

IKR! @lachaton
Reviews from people who don't own and/or haven't even tried a product are super frustrating, but that comment about Buffy totally piqued my interest, too. Now, I want to check them out! Maybe it was posted by a brand rep to get us buzzing about it...
This drives me nuts too. Or the negative "reviews" about a product being OOS or not launched at a certain time, etc. -___- Basically any review where someone hasn't actually used the product and is using the review section as a sounding board is a pet peeve of mine.
Foundation that oxidizes...*sigh*
This morning I FORGOT that my Clinique Beyond Perfecting foundation needs some mixing with a lighter foundation and lo and behold I look in the car mirror as I am going to work only to find myself looking like an Oompa Loompa and it is now too late to fix 🙂 Lesson learned, indeed!
The rear view mirror - love it and hate it all at the same time.

But it's the best for plucking eyebrows! @AMK721
@AMK721 It's like the honest friend that everyone needs but sometimes is not fun having around! I thought my foundation looked extra flawless in the bathroom mirror at 6am and at 8am it was 3 shades too orange XD
When a concealer sample is smaller than your pinky.
@veronika23 Pet peeve #3: when Sephora doesn't carry a product I think they should, so I have to buy it from another retailer and don't get the points!
Major pet peeve? When products in the tube look drastically different than applied.
Here's Colourpop Molly. I love this colour, but it looks nothing like it does in the tube.
It's a bright magenta-ey purple on my lips, and a soft dusty pinky-purple in the tube.
Ugh, that's the worst-especially when you're trying to match your lip to something! @k617
@k617 Even when you try making a face it still comes out nice. You are photogenic.
@darkiceis Full disclosure! I took a few and removed the ones that look crosseyed LOL
@k617 Colourpop is one of the worst offenders of this. I feel like a lot of their colors aren't consistent at all.
