You can try GooGone @sister13   You can get it at pretty much any hardware or paint store. Try it in an inconspicuous place first to make sure it won’t mess up the finish

[sister13]

I know, I probably even have some, but I why on earth should I have to?? Haha, I was just so annoyed! 😍😍😍 @jozkid

@sister13   Oh no- it's not even the gummy kind that you can pick off, minuscule piece by minuscule piece.

[sister13]

Exactly! It’s horrible! @Ispend2much6 💕💕💕

[eshoe]

I know the feeling all too well, sorry🤨

[sister13]

Haha, thanks @eshoe ! 💗💗💗

The bad weather across the country is causing many of my orders to only have labels created but nothing is enroute nor have the estimated delivery dates updated.

[JessLess]

Oh my goodness, I thought I was the only one... I have an order from Nordstrom that hasn’t budged in days, it’s making me so anxious!!

@Loretta55  My Sephora order just updated to be delivered on Wednesday.  I hope the liquids will be okay. I got an order from Nordstrom’s during the last snow storm and so many things were frozen but seemed to thaw out ok although I’m worried the mascaras may be a loss since last winter every mascsra that froze was worthless it seemed. But they were free at least. 

[Loretta55]

Oh No @Indy701 , sorry about those mascaras. Perhaps Nordstrom will give you a replacement. My two Ulta orders were placed to take advantage of the Beauty Break and the Skintuative promos last week. My Talbots order just arrived at Fed Ex this morning with an ETA of Friday.

[Indy701]

@Loretta55  That does seem like a while for Ulta. Hopefully you get it soon.  

[Loretta55]

I received both shipping notices within 24 hours of placing both Ulta orders @Indy701. Hopefully it will update soon.

[Loretta55]

Update, tracking of my Ulta orders never updated but both of my orders arrived yesterday afternoon. Both orders shipped from the Indianapolis warehouse. Thankfully both orders arrived intact.

Thanks for the scare Ulta!

I’ve really enjoyed being an active participant in the Lucky Bags this year, but I’m getting major fomo on items I was interested in but never bought, didn’t receive on my own bag, but am seeing it in others! I’ve been able to make a couple trades, but am striking out trying to grab some others I’ve had my eye on. Mainly Norvina and Jouer! I’ll probably just buy a few things eventually haha. 

[Indy701]

@alexasteph I didn’t get one but I’m looking and thinking if I got the perfect mix I would have loved it. 😂 Someone posted in the deals too good thread about Jouer’s 50% off sale. None of the lucky items seem to be included but I did get a lip set for a great price.

I know this post was a while ago...hopefully you will see it...what's "lucky bags" and where and when can you get them?!

[heartsmyface]

@Justjamey Lucky bags are mystery bags that beautylish puts out every year at the holidays to get rid of old stock.  You usually pay $70-$150 depending on which bag you choose and they contain well over $300 worth of product.

Beauty pet peeve because of story but general pet peeve - people's lack of common sense.

I'll preface by saying I will use Sephora testers but sometimes I wonder if I should. I had a work dinner so instead of going home and driving back over to the other side of town I decided to swing by the mall.

I stop into Sephora to browse around. I'm walking down the main aisle and see a girl in the Fenty section using the gloss on her lips. Like straight from the tube, no applicator. But no, it gets better. She then proceeds to wipe the applicator attached to the product over her hand several times. I don't understand why. It wasn't for a swatch. It looked as if she was trying to "clean" it off on her hand. An employee then walks past me. I probably have the "what did I just witness" look and asks if she can help me find a product to which I mumble "No, I'm just browsing."

So hindsight, should I have said something to the employee? Should I have tried to stop the customer once I realized what she was doing? Why should I even be worrying about this? It isn't some special beauty etiquette you need to learn..it should be COMMON SENSE.

I think globally we all have different levels of comfort with germs and sharing, and in the US we are particularly sensitive to this sort of thing. I had my makeup done at Sephora in Paris and the artists didn't use disposable applicators; they applied everything to me directly from the products, including mascara without cleaning or disinfecting the wand. I was a little shocked initially, but after looking around I realized there weren't disposable applicators around, just tissue and cotton. I adjusted to their normal. Although I do think you could say that if it is a cultural thing, they should make themselves aware of our norms here and adapt.

@ShortErica ... your peeve makes me think about something I saw earlier this week.  I was at TJMaxx and saw a woman (early 20's) and her mother shopping around the beauty area.  As I made my way around the area I saw her opening a few boxes, no big deal, I get wanting to make sure that something you're looking at hasn't been opened or used. Then I notice her swatching a too faced bronzer and showing it to her mother saying she doesn't want it but it does look pretty.  Then the same happened to a KVD metal crush and she started talking about not being into MAC anymore as she started swatching a MAC palette.   Like WTH? I wonder if I should have said anything as I stood there and stared with a dumbfound look on my face.  Like other people don't want your fingers in something they want to buy!

[ShortErica]

That is horrible that someone would intentionally use and ruin a product for someone else they had no wish to buy @missjeanie. Why do these people think they are so much more important than the rest of us and they can just do what they want? So gross. I think I might have to become "the annoying old lady" @WinglessOne claims she is and speak up when I see this happen again. It's sad that I have to say "when" and not "if."
