@l8totheparty That was me and my brand new bottle of DDG eye serum I’d just purchased last week. Nearly tore my bathroom apart looking for it. Found it the next morning while putting sunglasses in my tote bag. It was in my tote bag. I NEVER TOOK IT OUT OF MY BAG AFTER I BROUGHT IT HOME. And it’s in an orange box, so it’s not exactly easy to look inside a big black tote bag and not see it for 2 days—unless you’re me, I guess. 😄
Even if you repurchased your Brow Whiz, I hope you find the original one you bought. Then you’ll have a backup. 🙂
I juuuuuuuust found it. Lol. Already repurchased earlier this evening, of course.
@l8totheparty HATE when that happens! Same thing happened to me with a ABH brow brush. I remember getting it but I don't remember putting it away and I haven't seen it since. It's been about 8 months now so I'm going to just order a new one already and give it up 😞
*Walks into M.A.C., wow I like that Liquid Lipstick ON THE GIANT FLOATING LIPS OF THE POSTER ADVERTISING the Matte Liquid Lipstick, I wonder which one it is, i’ll Just go ask*
—> Oh that’s not a liquid lipstick shade we carry, or even a lipstick shade we carry.
* I’m staring at her like she’s speaking a foreign language
—> It’s like computer generated, not real.
*Pardon?
—-> Yeah it’s not a colour we sell. It’s computer generated, for the ad.
* It’s computer generated for the LIQUID LIPSTICK AD?
*head-desk* MAC is known for offering a large variety of shades for all of their cosmetic products. Which marketing exec thought it would be a great idea to use a computer-generated color instead of a real shade in production?
You should have taken a photo of the poster and posted it here -- we would have had fun trying to dupe it. 😉
That's the perfect gif for this situation! Whyyyyy would they not use one of their own colours??? At least use an existing colour. @GG84
@GG84 The humorously worst part of this: lipstick is the product MAC was originally best known for. Lipstick put them on the map. They continue to have many lines/finishes/shades of lipsticks. If ANYone can create a shade of tangible lipstick instead of tease folks with an imaginary digital shade, it’s MAC. So... 🤯
@GG84 That makes NO sense whatsoever! Advertising a lip shade that doesn't exist in a makeup store....okay? Oh the bright side, I learned something new today so thanks for sharing 🙂
omg @GG84 Why would they taunt you with a lipstick that doesn't exist in their advertisement!?
@sprocketta Right?!? I just kept staring at her. And she kept repeating the computer generated bit like it was the most obvious answer. At the very least suggest something similar!!! I left and went to Sephora.
In-store shoppers seem to get the sh*t end of the stick. I prefer to shop in person so I can swatch and see in real life. My stores never have samples. All the good promos for Sephora and Ulta are online and you get samples with your online order. And then there is cash back for shopping online. Ebates sometimes offers cash back on at Sephora in-store, but VERY rarely and the in-store is less than the % online. I don't want to shop at the store and have to walk out and order online later. How can you be sure your eyeshadow palette won't arrive broken? It just seems SO unfair.
Thanks for the recommendation @MelD31 I'll have to give it a shot. Do you have a referral code so you can get some credit for it? Or is the app not like that?
@sprocketta that is so sweet of you to think of that. They do give referral codes, mine is https://link.dosh.cash/MELISSD189
@sprocketta I understand your frustration. You're trying to be a responsible shopper, and you don't get the goodies while doing it. I kind of figured the online shoppers get better perks because the companies are making sales without having to pay the expenses of having a brick and mortar store in those cases. I'm quite certain the workers at the stores don't like that either; they have quotas to make in a situation that is inferior to online shopping (except for seeing products in real life.)
@sprocketta Ulta has online order pickup now. I haven’t used it yet but you just reminded me to try it, mostly to make sure my Ebates cash back will apply correctly as an online order.
I’m half surprised Sephora hasn’t started order pickup yet. I assume the pickup store location could pull in-store stock together for my order (unless I order something they don’t carry and must order themselves), just like Nordstrom does. I hope that’s what Ulta does.
None of if this makes the in-store cash back situation better. But it might be a way to kinda count an in-store purchase as an online order.
