That is a very soothing palette you’ve assembled @angelKiss24🤩

[angelKiss24]

thanks @eshoe! I picked up a few during the sale...but because all my singles were stored differently...I didn't realize how much I actually had until I rearanged it in this palette. Crossing my fingers for another deal 🤞

[eshoe]

Me too, @angelKiss24. Still missing the highlight and complexion brushes to finish my collection.

Biggest Pet Peeve is the lack of representation in advertising. Cis, trans*, non-binary, ALL people should feel welcome, included, and fabulous! Inclusiveness is really important to me. I’m a cis woman, but I want to hear from all types of people and most importantly, I want for everyone to feel included and appreciated for their beauty.

[Tamara76]

I agree!  Lovely sentiment, @ElleDamarius! ❤️

The Influensters have changed their ways. Look at Glamglow Good In Bed...the majority have changed their verbage to say "I was chosen by Glamglow" "I received from Glamglow" etc.

I flipping HATE Influenster reviews.

How is it possible that I always seem to run out of my varying sizes of expensive skincare products at the exact same time? This time being Christmas time, too. 

[CakesCakes]

@elise222 Yes, you’re not alone! This happens to me too during the holidays and also right before I travel.

This isn’t my biggest pet peeve because I love pretty packaging but as someone who has way too much of everything - it’s annoying when the packaging for something is unncessarily large or bulky, or when they’re a weird shape 😂 how do I store you!! Plus from an environmental perspective it seems a waste 😰

example: 

L to R: Becca powder 2.5g, laura mercier powder 3.5g, cover fx powder 4g, too faced powder 35g 😂

[rockstargina]

Yes!  I just recently organized all of my products, and found it really annoying trying to store a lot of these items.  If I can't see what I have or store it neatly, it's probably not going to get used often.

[cianni]

@rockstargina Haha exactly! If I can’t put everything in the same category together, whatever is separate always gets left unused 😰A little unrelated, but I had this problem with my MILK MAKEUP - Lip + Cheek - Werkhahaha because I couldn’t figure out whether to put it with the  blushes or with the lip balms and tints 😂 I don’t think I’ve even used it partially because it’s never where it should be 

[rockstargina]

Ahh, that's a whole other problem!  Things like this give me such anxiety lol

@cianni I thought the same thing last night—specifically about skincare and setting powder jars—while rearranging some of my shelves. 😄 

By Terry and Beauty Bakerie use the same size jar. Becca’s slightly bigger than both.

Hourglass is probably the worst offender in my bunch. It contains just 0.5g more than the By Terry powder! [EDIT: “... more than the By Terry powder,” not Beauty Bakerie.] I keep this full size in backup storage and use my Hourglass mini at home instead. 😂

And skincare jars... the Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb and Dr. Jart Water Fuse jars are pretty, but also unnecessarily big and bulky. I’m annoyed enough to transfer some of those products to travel jars, keep the full size jars in the fridge, and just refill the travel jars as needed. (I already do that with my YTTP moisturizer, but only because I bought a full size before my DS was empty.) 

[rockstargina]

I feel the same way about belif aqua bomb.  Excess/bulky packaging (and it also makes it seem like there is more product in the jar then there really is).

[WinglessOne]

Exactly, @rockstargina: Belif’s project jars could (and should!) be so much smaller. 😂 Now that Eye Bomb’s become my primary eye cream, I’ve had to make room for it on my skincare shelf... which, along with the stupidly huge Dr. Jart moisturizer jar, made me relocate all my skincare. Though I guess this works out well for me in the end anyway, because the new location is conveniently right beside my sink. But I’m still going to use small travel jars for some of that stuff instead of their full sized giants. 

[cianni]

@WinglessOne I’m going to have to start migrating full sized things into smaller containers as well!! I wonder why they do that. I’m thinking bevause the same sized container is used for different product sizes? And just a new sticker is added to the bottom 🤔 who knows

[WinglessOne]

@cianni I assume it’s mostly for marketing purposes. The more attractive the packaging, the more appealing the product. Lots of people fall for nice packaging, especially when it seems to contain more product than it really does. I can’t call that outright deceptive because product amounts are printed on the packaging, so it’s not like folks aren’t aware of how much they’re really getting. But it’s still a tiny bit shady. 😄 

[cianni]

@WinglessOne On the bright side it’s so much more satisfying to pan a bigger container, even if there’s less product than it looks like should be in there 😂

[MissPuff]

I have no self control 🙂 No seriously. Colourpop has free shipping today and ALSO restocked the Disney Princess line. I absolutely have dupes for all 4 lux lipstick princesses I want, I spent an hour this morning looking at online swatches to further convince myself that I DEFINITELY had dupes...

And I just clicked Purchase. No. Self. Control.

And now this leads me to another pet peeve...hearing about a deal + restock I would have missed (intentionally...I'm avoiding many emails and the deals threads lately). Cart loaded...must walk away. Thanks for nothing :p:p:p:p
