@vidademel I think pat is coming out at Sephora on oct 18

[androqueen]

when liquid lipsticks are advertised as long wearing and waterproof but never dry down and are gone in an hour 😤

[MissPuff]

@androqueen Along those lines, any makeup product that advertises itself as all-day, 18hr, 24 hr, etc...it's never true and I'm calling shenanigans on companies actually testing these claims 🙂

My current pet peeve is how makeup brands throw so much shade towards each other lately. It's too much, and I don't wanna support someone who thrives off of tearing apart others.

[lmi82]

I couldn't agree more! It makes me so sad to see brands that I like stoop so low. *Cough* MUFE *Cough* 😞

[ZombieMetroAnt]

😉 "still ashy" 😂 @lmi82

Haha, gotta give Rihanna some major props for that comeback. @ZombieMetroAnt

One current pet peeve: foundation matching. Does anyone ever feel like it's the exception, not the rule, to be matched correctly? Anytime I let someone match me these days I always get into natural light and think NEVER AGAIN, lol. Maybe it would help if some of these places had better lighting in their stores but Idk.

@blueviolet21 I've never been matched by someone else. I think the silver lining in being as pale as I am is that I don't have to guess too hard which shade to get. I just try the lightest color and if it's too dark I move on lol.

LOL That's actually me too @suzyo! I was just regretting... not doing that lol! I tried to grab the lightest shade and this guy talked me into letting him "match" me as if he and I both didn't know I would be the lightest color or nothing lol. Then a week later I fell for it again. This counter lady said, "oh, you have a tan, you can pull this off," and somehow I believed her. (I do not have a tan-- or at least, not a particularly significant one.) Sigh. I suppose my pet peeve should be myself then.

[suzyo]

Oh no @blueviolet21 I would say high pressure sales people would be the peeve here 😉

[melanito]

Mine would be Sephora discontinuing the palest shades of foundations and concealers. I just found out they're not going to carry rms uncoverup in 000 anymore. most foundations are too dark for me and then you find one that works and its discontinued. grateful i can buy this elsewhere. but why truncate another brands shade range?

[cindyvonlovely]

Or they say "partnerships", like we all know that means sponsors.

[shimmerbait]

Oh another peeve: how so many PR or guru people refer to a new product as "I'M SHOOK!!!" No, you're not. It's just another highlighter or contour shade or eyeshadow palette. Save shook for when you win the Powerball, I won't begrudge you for that! Is shook the new fleek? I can't wait for it to be over.

[quspork]

I'll sit here with you. That phrase is like nails on a chalkboard for me. 

[ZombieMetroAnt]

this...

[gonerogue]

When your Play! box has been sitting at the post office down the street from your house since MONDAY and it traveled to another city 20 miles away instead of coming to your house so now you won't be receiving it til NEXT Monday *pulls hair*

[toodywoody]

when workers at any store ignore you... plain & simple ignore.. or they follow u around like common criminal. customer service.. anyone heard of it??

[Seymore3]

For anyone getting the Huda Beauty desert dusk palette, the shade cosmo really is a loose glitter,my parcel came early this morning ad I was holding it up side down to look at it while still in bed and managed to decorate myself and my bed with most of cosmo.I did manage to put a good bit back in the pan but such a mess first thing in the morning.

[angelKiss24]

When you walk into a makeup store and the sales associate follows you THE ENTIRE time pointing out what you're looking at by telling you what it is and how wonderful it is....I mean, "thank you, I didn't know I was holding an eyeliner/cushion foundation/blush/mascara.............OMG.I.HAD.NOOOO.IDEA what any of these are and what they do!! How silly of me! Silly American!!" This happened to me at every single makeup store in Seoul last weekend. 😝😝😝 Needless to say, I did not buy a single thing that shopping trip 🤷🙅🤦
