I get annoyed when a skincare product makes my makeup sticky, or when an acid toner causes my squalane oil to pill badly.

When you order a palette when you are not at home to double check....i now have 2 Tom Ford Suspicion palettes. Good thing they are my go to colors🙄🤷🤦

@sonnydee I've done this!!!!😂😂

@sonnydee I keep a folder of pics when I post in the haul thread and there have been several occasions I was fixing to order a product again, only to look back and see I already purchased it.

I spent at least an hour painting my toes last night starting with theNail Inc. Superfood base coat, watched t.v letting that layer dry, Nails Inc. Unicorn nail polish, same letting that layer dry, then top coat letting that layer dry. This is someone who has only regularly started painting toes during quarantine. Didn't even think twice when I put the foot peeling booties on tonight for for the first time and left them on an hour. Took booties off and the duh moment kicked in 😟 cute toes turned into ruined mess 😡 Guess who's going to the nail salon this week 😉

@Luvstravel Oh no!

@Luvstravel oh booooooo!

When skin care products have fragrance and colour dyes in them. Its really annoying because I always look at the ingredients list of everything I buy, and many products will have so many really great skincare ingredients, but then there is added parfums and colour. It is so unnecessary and causes irritation, toxic hormonal effects, and increases the risk of cancer.

Cutting my finger in the shower trying to open shampoo and conditioner bottles!  The funny thing is, I was trying to depot a bottle of shampoo into a liter bottle to avoid such an incident.

[Loretta55]

That is the worst @greeneyedgirl107! Hope that the cut was not too deep.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Loretta55 It's not too bad.  I was mainly worried about having to apply styling products, blow drying and flat ironing with the cut, as I find band aids to be clunky during those tasks.  It was all right - it's happened a few times before over the years 😛

[Loretta55]

I have not used a flat iron in over 10 years @greeneyedgirl107 . It is difficult maneuvering styling products and styling tools while wearing band aids.

@greeneyedgirl107 

Good on you for buying litres. I get bored too easily, especially of shampoo. I switch up my shampoo every other week lol 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@GG84 I bet you have quite a stash!  🙂

[Loretta55]

My complaint is that I was applying my Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Serum 1 oz and with no warning I was unable to get anything else to come out. Of course, I had no back up. I wish that Murad could possibly add something to their products that give you some kind of warning that you are towards the end of the product. I would have purchased another bottle but of course we can not just go to the store at this time so I will have to wait for the delivery.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Loretta55 Yes!  That sort of thing drives me crazy.  I have no idea how much I have left on my First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair® Hydrating Serum.  And I ran out of my FIRST AID BEAUTY - FAB Skin Lab Retinol Serum 0.25% Pure Concentrate over the holidays, and had to rush out and get one -- luckily Dermstore had a sale.  

I guess I could keep a diary of approximately how long it takes me to go through products, but I'm a little lazy for that!

[Loretta55]

I thought that I had a back up but I only had a back up of my daytime serum @greeneyedgirl107 .

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Loretta55 I don't keep much skincare back-ups, but I certainly do with hair.  It's gotten to the point where if I "only" have five back-ups, then I need to re-stock.

[Loretta55]

I am testing products while trying to replace my DevaCurl products @greeneyedgirl107. I don’t know if I am too fussy but I have not yet found something that wows me.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Loretta55 I imagine that would be VERY hard.  When I find a hair product I like, I rarely switch it out for another.  I couldn't imagine having to find suitable replacements.

[Loretta55]

I used ALTERNA Haircare CAVIAR Anti-Aging® Replenishing Moisture CC Cream 5.1 oz / 150 mL @greeneyedgirl107 yesterday ,but my curls feel looser. On to the next product.
