The other thread was getting too long and difficult to load! 

So what are your beauty pet peeves? What grinds your gears? Share your stories!!!

You are saving money, as you only need to buy the pump once. Keep the pump from your old bottle to use when you get a new bottle of the product. I hate having to dispose of a perfectly good pump because the new one also comes with a pump. That old pump gets thrown out and doesn't even get recycled.

Using concealer as foundation !

Ugh, still this stupid Dior leaky situation! Still my favorite concealer at the moment but I remembered why I don’t like traveling with it! I had to scrounge to find an old napkin to be able to wipe this off and put back in my purse, I was panicking until I found one. Ugh, such a waste! 

 

[JoSometimes]

Oh no! What a mess! 😡

Good thing you found something to tidy it up with @sister13.

[Titian06]

I remember you mentioning that before, @sister13 .  I'm sorry it happened again!  Send your pic to Dior.

[Samtian]

@sister13 Oh I'd be so mad. 

[makeitup305]

@sister13 ugh, that sucks! I've been looking at this concealer, glad to know about this issue!

Just when I posted The Beauty Victory Thread (a positive counterpart to the Beauty Pet Peeves thread) , I have a pet peeve.  My workplace just re-instituted surgical masks.  Meanwhile, I just bought a bunch of new-to-me lippies, and am unable to try them out at work.  I find that work is a great place to try out products.  I apply in my car natural light, get to test it out at different mirrors in different lighting.  Can get different opinions, and really see how long the color lasts.  I have crummy light at home, when I leave work it's dark, and don't wear it for very long when I'm testing at home.

[Titian06]

I'm sorry to hear this, @greeneyedgirl107 !  I know what you mean.  I bought several new lipsticks; but until I returned to work, I didn't try them.  Wearing lipstick at home seems weird.  I only go in once a week, so it will take a while, but at least I get to wear mine.  I'm sorry you won't be able to wear yours! 😪

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Titian06 good to know others are having similar challenges.   This is another reason I don't like the 30 day return policy.

@greeneyedgirl107 Ughhh boooo! I remember that feeling when masks were mandatory everywhere (the mandates and lockdowns lasted really long where I am - I believe some places started making the requirement optional in spring 2022), and I missed lipstick so much 😩 the car/work test is a great idea though!!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@cianni thanks for the sympathy!

Definitely when a product says it is for acne but breaks you out after the first use 

[JoSometimes]

When you drop something and it breaks in a way that makes it unusable. I dropped my cuticle oil and the glass dropper shattered inside. I gave it a shake and could hear the shards rattling around inside. 😩

[EmmaWilli]

@JoSometimes That happened to me a month ago with my facial oil! So frustrating. 

[JoSometimes]

@EmmaWilli Noooo… 😭

[QueenMarceline]

@JoSometimes Ooof, I hate that. I feel your pain though, I'm so clumsy that honestly any makeup or skincare with glass packaging makes me nervous while I'm using it. 😂

[JoSometimes]

@QueenMarceline I thought the bottle itself would have shattered instead. When I picked it up and the bottle was still whole, I thought I was in the clear! And then I heard the rattling inside…

[QueenMarceline]

@JoSometimes So unfortunate 😥

[cianni]

The price increases! I purchased PHLUR Father Figure Eau de Parfum Travel Spray 0.32 oz / 9.5 mL and Evereden Special Delivery – Hydrating Bestsellers Kit in august. At the time, they were $26 and $45 CAD, respectfully. My Phlur unfortunately leaked (I didn’t see the reviews about the faulty packaging), so I figured I’d restock on both during the sale. The phlur is now $40 and the Evereden set it $66! Even with the 20% off they aren’t close to the regular price I paid less than 3 months ago, so I opted to pass on both 😞

@cianni That's just awful!
