@sonnydee I completely get it! I had an underground crater forming on my face last week and my hairstylist said " Have we ever put an all over color on you, because you are having a lot of grays pop up " 🤬 but it's so true. I've noticed more popping up weekly 😳

ugh same...I pluck them, but every time I go in the bathroom...there's another one sticking up!!  I'm too young for this lol!! 🙄

When I decide to do my full make up and people say “wow, you look so pretty TODAY” or “wow, I didn’t even recognize you” ..... and it’s a weird backhanded compliment that I don’t know how to respond to. 🤦🏼‍♀️😩🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[danielledanielle]

@lindseyyfaye, I sometimes like to respond to that with "thank you, I bathed today."

[tjffc]

@lindseyyfaye Right!

[lindseyyfaye]

I’m glad you understand lol 😂😂 @tjffc

Anyone else get spam liked by someone? somone filled up pages of notifications liking stuff from years back even.

[Guessgal]

If it's from the Hello Calm Feedback thread, that would be me 👩 I recently purchased the mask so I've been reading up on everyone's reviews again and hearting ones I hadn't seen previously 🙈 @Blackwhiskey 

[Titian06]

This has been happening to me, @Blackwhiskey .  The notification says something about posts or threads (don't remember which) being merged.

[WinglessOne]

@Blackwhiskey Heh, that's happening to me, too. I assume it's a newer BIC member who's just now rolling through some of the longer popular threads and liking posts along the way. 

[suzyo]

@Blackwhiskey  That hasn't happened to me. Was it just one person? I dunno, that's so odd. I've seen new accounts creating threads just saying "testing" and when I look at their activity they will be following random people, and just don't know if I should report things like that or not. I always wonder if they are more intelligent spam accounts because this forum seems to be in a never ending battle with spam.

[Blackwhiskey]

Yeah just one person but theyre probably new and scrolling

This is must meant to be light-hearted.  I have had three people at work comment on my "no makeup" look.  Two didn't recognize me with my hair up, mask, face shield and no makeup.  Two asked me if I used to wear glasses.  I totally fessed up to the difference - No Makeup!  I don't wear a lot at work at all, but I do my eyeliner, mascara and fill in my eyebrows.  I can totally see how people would've recognize me.  It's all in good fun 🙂

[lindseyyfaye]

It’s insane how eyebrows & lashes can make such a huge difference 😂😂 @Anonymous7

I only wore eye makeup for the last couple of weeks @greeneyedgirl107 . I had a facial with extractions to get rid of some of my pimples and my skin had scabs where I had deeper pimples. I wore complete makeup for the first time today. I am noticing that my skin has become very oily this summer.

 I can’t believe that many people commented on your lack of makeup!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Loretta55 I'm glad you were able to get some skincare done on your skin while wearing a mask.  That's true multi-tasking.  It gave me the opportunity to incorporate to try a product that I ordinarily would have dragged my feet on.  So, at least you and I found the silver lining!

I didn't mind the people commenting on my lack of makeup.  But it was funny that my color coded healthcare clothing and physique didn't tip them off on who I was (that, and the name tag - LOL!).  I must say that I had two nice comments from people on my team.  While I don't wear face makeup to work, one girl sd my skin "looked perfect" and another said that she couldn't tell the difference between me with and without makeup.  I also had a client tell me that she loved my eyebrows (back when I was still doing them before work) which was super observant since I was wearing goggles and she has cognitive deficits.  

[Loretta55]

I still feel the need to wear lipstick even though nobody sees it @greeneyedgirl107 . That is too funny that even though you had your name badge on some of your coworkers did not recognize you.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Loretta55 I love that you are still wearing lipstick!!!  

[Loretta55]

I am wearing more tinted lip balms than before the pandemic @greeneyedgirl107.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Loretta55 Those will probably keep your masks tidier inside than lipstick - smart move.  Pre-pandemic I was interested in some Ulta brand tinted lip balms.  I wanted to re-swatch them but never had the chance.  I guess I missed the boat on that one!

[Loretta55]

There is always a sale on those @greeneyedgirl107 . If if you do not like them at least you will not be out too much money.
