Beauty Pet Peeves 2

[veronika23]

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!!!

@veronika23 Thanks! 😊 I will be down for about a week. I have always been interested in the laser treatment....especially right at this moment lol!

[veronika23]

@angel7594 hope the week goes by fast for you so you can get to shaving those legs 😄 😉

If you ever look into it remember that not all machines are made the same and that you would be better off going to a derm or a highly skilled place instead of a beauty spa.  I know plenty of people that it barely worked for them... Also saw horror stories of people being burned 😕 I'm happy that years later it's still good.  I mean I have those baby blond hairs here and there but that's pretty much it.

@veronika23,

I hope it goes fast too! 😄

Thanks for the advice about laser treatment. I would definitely go through my dermatologist, that is frightening about people getting burned! 😞

[veronika23]

@angel7594 I know it is! I always find it's best to leave things like this to the derm rather than a beauty spa.

I feel ya...smooth legs are definitely a priority in my life 🙂

This is all me...annoying myself...I am the biggest advocate with speaking with your wallet to companies. I really value & love Ulta's reward program 1000x's over Sephora's. Yet I've already re-rouged for 2017 and haven't re-Platinum'ed!!! What gives?!?

Oh, and the worst part is, I've intended NOT to re-rouge since the program started... 😞

I am in the exact same situation and I re-rouged months ago. I'm only close to re-platinuming thanks to the point multiplier on Monday, but I had the same thought when I checked my status.

The main reason is that Ulta doesn't carry my favorite brands (Bite, NARS, etc). Their mid-range is very limited when you compare it to Sephora.

[PaletteAddict99]

Yes @kso1225 ulta is definatly missing the high end and designer makeup brands. Ulta seems to be more on the capitalistic marketing plan; supply the masses. They carry what is in demand by the largest part of the population. The average person isn't buying YSL, Dior, Marc Jacobs and she may not even know Bite and Nars exist.

[JenniferOhJenny]

I'm close to re-rouging but I re-platinumed months ago. I think it's because, for me, Ulta is more of a place where I can play around and try new things that aren't too expensive - drugstore mascaras, bath products, things like that. I also tend to buy things for my daughters there. Sephora is my place for buying the pricier items that I've researched and am pretty sure I'll love.

[PaletteAddict99]

@JenniferOhJenny I completely agree

[heartsmyface]

Everyone is making me feel super guilty!!!! I Rouged a few times over this year.  Still doing better than last year at least. 

[wheeeee]

This is my statement.

Spend $957 to maintain your VIB Rouge status through 2017

I need MAJOR shopping inspo to Rouge '17!  I hope all the SF, Holiday and Hair kits are fabulous! I have close to $500 in Sephora gift cards......so, C'mon!!!

After 10x, I am $89 away from making Platinum '17 and already have 3,000 reward points. This is due to Ulta carrying DB this year. I don't really buy much make-up.

[Annalily11]

I always want to buy from Ulta instead of Sephora, but the Sephora free flash shipping always gets me, and I prefer to only buy one or two small things at a time instead of huge hauls. If Ulta offered a program like the Flash shipping sephora would probably never see my money outside of the brands exclusive to them. 

[misscg]

I've noticed this as well. I've hit rouge again but still have about $250 to spend to re platinum. I love ulta's rewards system but I'm a little lazy to surf their website and only shop during sales. I missed the 10x the points and am kind of kicking myself for not shopping just to shop lol. I reasoned that I didn't need to spend money just to earn money to hoard for ulta, when I really should spend that money on my kids for new school gear. 

However....there's a new one about to open up where I frequently shop and there's no Sephora there so that's alllll about to change lol. I'll probably hit platinum just for that reason alone.

[notcreative]

I'm opposite. I already hit Platinum before 10x points and spent over $100 more during the event. I am a little over half way to Rouge, so Ulta has more of my money so far this year.

[StephaniLynn]

I haven't re-rouged nor are-platinumed. I can say I am close to renewing my platinum status than I am rouging. 

[H216]

@StephaniLynn I think this is truly #goals for me. I don't need the stuff I have/get and hardly even use a tenth (maybe even 100x's less than that) what I have!

[StephaniLynn]

@H216 I am just over halfway to rouge. By this time last year I could have requalified 2x. Definitely cut back this year. 

At ulta I'm about $100 away from platinum. I would rather re-platinum than re-rouge lol. 

[Anonymous]

I realized why I haven't re-platinumed...because I've been using my Ulta points to get FREE stuff I ACTUALLY WANT

No joke, I'm pretty sure I've actually bought close to $500 dollars worth at Ulta but have truly only spent around $250.

[H216]

@Anonymous yeah I'm in the same boat except I'm hoarding my Ulta points. I've got 5k something so plan on doing major damage during the holidays. 

[KatieKabam]

Cool brag, though! haha!

Ulta totally rules. I hope they don't ever change the reward program.. it's pretty perfect as is.
