Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@itsfi I went to place an order at Dermstore just the other day, and was saddened to learn that there is now a minimum of $35 in order to qualify for free shipping.  I understand why, but it was still a downer.

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@greeneyedgirl107, that's a bummer. It's available on amazon, but only as a pack of 2 or 3, or in a bundle set with other skincare products. 

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@pocketvenus it’s definitely not on the same plain, but Henne has a pretty great lip mask. It’s different than the Bite, and the Laneige. It’s a little earthy but lasts. You can get a sample on their site, to test it out first, too.

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@eshoe Thanks for the tip!  ❤️

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@eshoe hey thank you for the share about this lip mask balm.

 

I saw that you changed your avatar, and this one's still eating noodles, i like noodles too lol 🤗🤗🤗.

 

 

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@Emy10 you’re welcome! I tried a couple of their lip scrubs and like those as well. Lush has my favorite, but Henne’s Nordic Berries is fantastic, too.

 

Ha ha yes I couldn’t believe I found that little character eating noodles! It makes me smile, ☺️

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

I really miss the old lip mask formula (though I thankfully have some tubes that are going strong) and Cin Cin from their luminous creme formula.

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@Kaylabr So glad you stocked up! Such a pretty shade ❤️

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@pocketvenus ugh Bite Beauty lol. I never got to try the lip wipes I wanted. I'm also still bitter I didn't get my zodiac lip stick.

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@Samtian The zodiac lipsticks were such a cool set and idea!!!!

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

I really did like the French Press glosses and the previous lip mask formula.

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@danielledanielle I regret not getting more from this set. I loved wearing Vanilla Latte and then dabbing a little of Fenty's Shawty in the middle of my lips for a bit of an ombre effect.

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@pocketvenus @danielledanielle I regret it too! I have French Press and Salted Caramel and should have gotten more. Haven't worn them in a while, but I recall not getting much coffee from the scent or flavor. Someone in a review compared the smell to something like "old peanuts," and I could never get that association out of my head! 

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@danielledanielle @tastelikewater Oh wow! I smelled coffee but I know there can be differences in how people perceive taste so many smell is like that too? The wild thing is, scientists still hav eno idea how scent works, there's only a bunch of theories.

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

Old peanuts?!?  🤣 @tastelikewater   IMO it smelled like coffee, and I love coffee.  I still have one that's semi-used and one halfway done so there's that.  I wore one to my F-I-L and weirded out one of his dogs, so maybe he smelled old peanuts?

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@pocketvenus  I'm still peeved that Bite went in so hard on the meaningless and misleading "clean beauty" gimmick. I wonder if they've had lots of trouble reformulating all their lip products to "clean" formulas, or if the delay's due to financial issues or something else... I don't live near any of their Lip Labs, so I don't know what they've been doing on that front. Hmm. Since Bite has so heavily rebranded themselves as "clean," they're kinda stuck with that theme now. I'll be ecstatic if the whole "clean beauty" fad dies—but I think I've ranted about that in this thread before. 🤣 

 

ANYway... I miss Bite's lip liners and Amuse Bouche lipsticks, even though their bullets tend to bleed/feather on me. (Eh, easily prevented with liner and/or lip primer.) Kale was one of my favorite lip shades ever, and I'm sad I might never be able to buy it again. 

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@WinglessOne Yes, all-natural is a pretty useless term in fragrance too. The bulk of perfumes in this category definitely smell like there are synthetics in there ha ha.

 

I can totally imagine you rocking Kale while wearing Anubis or T Rex 🙂

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@pocketvenus "All natural" in general kinda cracks me up. Apparently there's a difference between "all natural" and "clean," though I'm not completely sure what it is since neither category has an industry standard definition, let alone US government certification. Anyway, some of those "all natural" fragrances do seem suspicious! 🤣 

 

Kale is fun to wear when you wanna pretend you're a short-armed dinosaur stomping through the middle of a burning tar-laden swampy orange grove. 💚

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@WinglessOne Yes, it's such a dodgy term. I'd rather have safe synthetics on my skin than like, burny essential oils. I think what tends to work best is a mix, kind of like getting that ultra comfortable cotton and elastane blend, just nice to have that extra give 🙂

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

When you don't read the ingredients well enough at first and you discover your "hydrating" toner is just full of witch hazel 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. No wonder my skin has been off this past 2 weeks.

Re: Beauty Pet Peeves 2

@haleyvvvv Oooooh my skin hurts for you! Hope it recovers quickly!
