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!!!

Group is really just another term for the subforums/topic divisions we had before, but they weren't quite so prominent/flashy; they weren't pushed or promoted the way they are here. There were subforums for skin care, makeup, hair, etc but everything still showed up on the main feed (except the Off Topic section IIRC...I think that one was filtered out).

Groups are useful if you want to drill down and find info specific to a certain topic, but they aren't meant to declutter or filter out stuff from the main feed, if that makes sense? (To put it another way, every single post *has* to be part of a group, so filtering group posts off the main feed would mean the main feed is ultimately empty.) 

Mods have said they are working to filter CS posts off the main feed...that would be a huge help. Hopefully the question thread takes back off as well. Skincare 101 and Makeup 101 would be great to dig back up too!

I agree with everything you said 100,000%. It has really surprised me how much changing the layout has altered the feel of this place and the complete shift in what I see on the main feed. It's disappointing, for sure.

I also think that Sephora is now promoting the community more by integrating it to the mobile site and the app, and that has brought a veritable flood of new users...folks that just want to treat this like IG or FB and post all about themselves and move on. That crowd doesn't search for their own answers...they demand to be spoonfed, so they post yet another thread asking if they should buy Subculture, or should they get Naked vs Sweet Peach, or HALLLP OILY SKIN or whatever other thread title I've seen a thousand times.

I keep trying to get my bearings and be OK with the new format, but it's so hard to like being here, even though I miss this place. 😞

@RGbrown I think by renaming the topics "Groups" there is the impression they need to be filled up with info. Like we're starting fresh with content. Where that isn't the case. This new format seems to encourage a lot of repeat posts, "look at me" posts, the unfiltered CS posts... It's just too much. Way too much. It's frustrating. It's taking away from the experience we had previously. I've tried so hard not to complain about it but I'm almost at my breaking point. I hate coming on seeing someone create a fake account to be mean, people begging for attention, the constant "THIS ISN'T HOW YOU TREAT YOUR BEST CUSTOMERS" entitlement, etc. BT used to be an escape from that, BIC is becoming it. I'll be out of the country for a week and a half and during that time I won't be logging on. We'll see how it looks when I'm back.

I really hope they figure out filtering customer service off the main thread! Seeing 20 posts a day on people getting the wrongs samples is not ok

What's my beauty pet peeve tonight?  Popcorn!  I was happily munching on some while I was doing some straightening up and all of a sudden my mouth felt funny. Because the front half of one of my teeth had split off. Oh joy. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning. I see a crown in my future - and not the pretty sparkly kind either. 😞

[darkiceis]

@jozkid Oh no! Tooth pain is one of the worst. Good luck at the dentist.

[blueviolet21]

Oh DRAT. This has happened to me before (I was born with literally the worst teeth ever) and I feel you. I was eating cranberries when my tooth broke in half and I remember it vividly. I'm sorry!!! I have had problems with popcorn too. Ugh. I'm sorry. I hope your tooth is fixed as quickly and painlessly as possible, sending you all the good vibes for tomorrow 😕 @jozkid

[jozkid]

@blueviolet21  Thanks for all the good wishes! I appreciate it!

[Beadshopgirl]

Ouch! I hate dental stuff. I hope it's an easy fix!

[jozkid]

Thanks so much @Beadshopgirl

Oh no!!!!!  So sorry to hear that, girl!    😞  @jozkid

I'm giving you a sparkly crown to help you feel better! 🙂

@jozkid  Tiara Tuesday sounds fabulous!!!!  You should do it! 💗

[jozkid]

@Tamara76  It's so pretty!  I always wanted to institute "Tiara Tuesday" at work. Wouldn't that be awesome?

[suzyo]

@jozkid That's awful! I hope it isn't causing too much discomfort, good luck at the dentist 🙂

[jozkid]

No, it's actually not painful. It just feels weird. I think it split along an old filling. I'm less worried about going to the dentist than I am about not being able to work on the house tomorrow. I finally convinced my hubs to take some time off so we could paint one of the bedrooms. That flies out the window now 😞

When I accidentally swallow some lip plumping lip gloss or when I go too heavy handed with dark eyeshadows 😥

[heartsmyface]

I can't access my own page:( 

[heartsmyface]

Blah!  yuck!  

Your name makes me go squeeeeee!!! @SpaceLlama

[SpaceLlama]

yeah.. it's quite the unpleasant feeling. Your name is adorable as well, btw 🙂

[heartsmyface]

Ahhhhhh! So many new threads!  What's the point of even having threads if everyone is going to just create their own for any little thing they want to say? 

[blackkitty2014]

Thank you @heartsmyface.  Also i want to shout out to @ElleElleG.  She was patiently informing ppl that "it is already in x thread" for the last couple days.
