When influencers who have lip filler promote “plumping glosses” 

[greeneyedgirl107]

My flat iron may be on the fritz.  I use T3 Lucea 1 ½” Professional Straightening and Styling Iron (I think it's actually the one inch).  I've never like the digital component and I never touch it...not for like 3.5 years.  I bumped it, and can't get it to increase heat.

I'm frustrated because all the sales will be over when I get around to looking into a new flat iron.   Idk what kind to buy.  I don't want the same one.  Ghd had declined in quality compared to what I bought well over a decade ago. And I tried a babybliss years ago and wasn't impressed. 

Plus, I just got a slightly different haircut and wanted to emphasize it with a sleek look...

When your foundation pills or looks cakey

Being at $40 or $48 when a direct site only gives free shipping at $50...and also not free returns.

@greeneyedgirl107 some of these shipping thresholds are putting me off ordering. YSL has 30% off the site but the shipping threshold is $100 🙄

[greeneyedgirl107]

@makeitup305 oh my!  I had heard about the sale but never imagined $100 minimum.  I think some of these brands are too elitist. 

[makeitup305]

@greeneyedgirl107 I think shipping costs have just gotten too expensive overall so if they do a deep discount they want to get their money's worth. I understand when it's an indie or smaller brand but big brands no.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@makeitup305 agreed!!!

[peculiarzmakeup]

Totally with you on this one! @greeneyedgirl107

No one really does this anymore but back when people highlighted the tip of their nose 🙈

[Beadshopgirl]

Agreed! It looks so ridiculous, especially on middle aged folks like me haha!

Ah, the Rudolf the Reindeer look!

The fact that my thin eyebrows won’t grow back for this thick, fluffy eyebrow trend

Buying a gorgeous pinky-nude lipstick, and having it turn orange on me. Grrrr. I’m looking at you, Hourglass Oasis. 

[Harobedb]

I have very pigmented lips, so every light lipstick either doesn't show up at all or looks like I'm wearing a white crayola. Just out of frustration, I tried covering my lips with various coatings, like a very light covering of foundation or an under eye concealer. I didn't stick with it long enough to perfect it, but it DID work in enabling a light pink lipstick to finally show up on my lips and be true to the color swatch.

@Beadshopgirl - This happened to me with CT Pillow Talk lipstick.  It turned a peachy yellow.  It was very unattractive!

[heartsmyface]

@Beadshopgirl  Like orange orange?   Or super warm nude?  

[Beadshopgirl]

@heartsmyface Like Peachy-orange. I can make it work with a liner. I can actually swatch it on my hand and watch the colour change.

Doing your makeup and feeling less pretty/like “yourself” than you did before lol

[heartsmyface]

@desireeeeam   Ha oh no!  I’ve experienced this!  🫣
