(Let me add that this is otherwise an amazing concealer!)

Yuck, I hate that, @sister13!

I sold a bundle of 5 items on Poshmark which is the largest sale I ever had.  The buyer gave me 4 stars and stated that I advertised the products were unused but some of them clearly were used.  None of them were used!  Two were even sealed.  I'm bothered by the 4 star rating but way more upset by the false accusation.   I messaged the buyer and asked her which items she thought were used, that I assert that I was truthful in my listing and that I want her to have a positive experience.  I guess we'll see what happens.   I'm sure this is common but I'm new to selling online and too sensitive,  I guess.   🥺

Hi. @greeneyedgirl107 I'm not new to selling online.. mostly my kids clothes...and it still bothers me if i get a less than perfect rating especially if it has nothing to do with my items, like ship time. Its only happened a handful of times.. But if they are going to be dishonest & unfair like that, I feel like I don't want them as a customer so I block them. They can still see what you are offering but can never talk to you or buy from you again.😈 Hope this helps

When you’re attempting to find a new liquid foundation and have to go through the dreaded trial and error of color matching!!!! Especially when you have to let the formula fully dry down every time to see if it oxidizes and still matches your undertone 🙄

Mascara smudges on my lower lashline - ESP when I didn’t even apply it to my bottom lash! I do a lot of show/stage/on camera makeup so day to day I exclusively use clean beauty, primarily RMS products. I have yet to find a mascara that does not react poorly to the coconut oil based UnCoverup, even with various setting powders. Any mascara recs, clean or not, welcomed.

@KEPMKO use a clear Mascara over your black mascara once the black has had a minute to dry down;)  an eyebrow gel would work as well.

@KEPMKO  Omg this is my biggest Pet peeve too. I’ve been loving Tower 28 Beauty MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara Jet  I react to almost every mascara I try and this is my go too when I take my son to swim lessons and I never have smudge or black around my eyes with this mascara. I hate when I have mascara and my eyes just randomly irritated and runny.

I used to wear bright red lips regularly. One day, approx 4-5 years ago now, I was wearing red lips, a new NARS one I believe. Felt great. After work grabbed a couple drinks and some food. Went into the bathroom and saw I had a streak of read on my forehead. And my cheek. I don’t know if it had been there for 30 second or 30 min or 3 hours. But my beauty pet peeve is when we don’t tell each other we have lipstick on our face ! Or our teeth ! This shook my decades-cultivated lipstick confidence and I’ve rarely worn lipstick since. (That said, it did lead me to my current favorite formula that I’ve stuck to for years, Bobbi brown balm lipstick or whatever it’s called)

[harleymmmm]

Jemly,I agree w/ you which is why I tell my friends & even Strangers quietly & politely .

[heartsmyface]

@jemly   if you’re feeling antsy about wearing reds yet you really want to, try a lipstick top coat to make any lipstick transfer proof.  

 

[heartsmyface]

@jemly   I want to believe it’s because no one’s actually paying much attention to our faces and they’re too self absorbed in their own thoughts but yeah, that bothers me as well.  There’s no one who wouldn’t appreciate being informed of a makeup malfunction.  it’s not polite to say nothing when it’s an easy quick fix.  

[Mellmars1185]

@jemly I would want someone to let me know if that happened to me. That would be very surprising. Maybe a long lasting lippie would get you back wearing lipsticks again? If you miss it I say keep wearing them 💞💄

[ather]

@jemly  I agree. I don’t wear red lipstick for that reason unless I’m with my husband who will tell me. Why don’t women support women more?? 

[lmiri]

This is the same when I have "a bat in the cave"...I always tell people secretly they have something in their nose!! It's just not right keeping such a secret

[arlenekim]

Sneezing right after applying mascara 😣 especially with allergy season around the corner

[gonerogue]

@arlenekim I suffer from year-long allergies and HATE when this happens. When I feel a sneeze coming on while my lashes are still wet, I always slip my fingers under the lashes so the mascara gets on my fingers and not my face- works like a charm!

[itsfi]

@arlenekim, this!!! Ughh! Allergy season really does a number on any makeup I wear on my eyes. 😔 I look forward to the weather warming up, but not for the allergies that come with it.

[Krismorganj]

EASY. This has happened to me a few times now due to my adhd and just moving too fast lol. 

I have dry skin but I sweat easily due to hormones. So I have to use hydrating primer and matte foundation or the other way around. The days I move to fast and use a matte primer and a matte foundation I go outside and realize I look and feel like a crusty ghost. Skin dry face dry everything just DRY lol

[Lorrie380]

“…a crusty ghost…”

Great way to put it.  😊
