I hate it when you're in a good mood and then someone just has to come along and jack it up.

[@]Melrose[/@] I saw the lipstick queen lippe you got--- was that from Barneys? It's totally different the one I got.... I didn't know Medievel was a tinted balm which I paid I think $28.00 for... I've heard a lot of good stuff about the lippies... I do have a lippie from Poppy King the founder of L/s queen and I love it. It was JCrew exclusive
The one I got was from ulta but barneys does carry them as well. You are right, some seem very sheer like a balm but the $45- $50 ones seem to be extremely pigmented and very hydrating as well. The ones in the velvet rope collection are really pretty as well. I also bought another one called Let them Eat Cake. It's like a lipstick version of mac's Rags to Riches dazzleglass. However, once I got it home, I discovered the tube was totally broken. I couldn't even get the lipstick out of the case! Once I messed with it a bit, the plastic bullet inside the metal came out and I saw that not only did I have a lipstick case that completely non functional ( broken in 3 places) but it was used as well! YUCK!!! I don't understand why I seem to have this kind of bad luck/ issues with Ulta :(

Ewww... They sent you a used one!?! That's so gross! I hope they send you a new one ASAP! Were you able to use the 20% off coupon? You definitely have had bad luck with Ulta lately...didn't they ignore you in store one time and when your husband went--- the SAs were fawning all over him. When you get your replacement please let me know what you think of it

No, I bought it in store! I probably should have ordered it, likely would have had better luck. And yes, I did use my coupon. It was such a disappointing experience. It just reminded me why I've avoided Ulta. Too many bad experiences. Well, that AND the hubby incident, lol.

I'm not a fan of Ulta either, especially after hearing your experience. I just think Sephora is a better store. Better selection, better customer service.

:lmao: yes, totally gross! I couldn't believe it. Well, the sad part was I actually could believe it. Wasn't that surprised really. Took it right back the next day.
That is so gross! I'm sorry you've had such bad experiences at Ulta.

I agree. Sephora is usually better staffed and provides better customer service. I cannot say that about Ulta. I don't shop at Ulta often but I have not been impressed when I had gone there.

Although I do hold a grudge against Sephora for not hiring me. They didn't even call me in for an interview. Ulta did, though.

And I have plenty of experience!

I'm sorry to hear that. Sounds like that a manager who was devoid of professionalism and courtesy.

Maybe? I dunno. I never saw anyone in person. i applied online. I mean, i have over ten years of retail experience including management experience. I'm way over qualified for a simple sales associate job. Whatever. I don't really want to work retail anymore, too much standing on your feet.

OH! This reminds me. My school had a teacher quit and I can't restart my Esthetics program until January. I'm bummed. I was hoping to start in November.

Bummer. It would be nice to have some time off, right?

I'm sorry babe. Keep your head up. Hey she/he may have quit but you retained what knowledge you learned. That means you'll be better and better :)

Sorry about that :( but hey it's their loss and something better will come along. I know you're bummed about your program but look at the bright side- time off during the holidays. January will be here before you know it. Wishing you the best :heart:
