Oh no, I'm sorry.
I really don't know what to say other than my thoughts are with you and I can't even begin to fathom how hard this must be for you. Thinking of you and your mother.
I'm so sorry to hear that, @PeachTwist. Sending good thoughts and prayers to you and your mom.@jennifae, I wouldn't feel too bad. At least you did not pay full price for the items you got. It sounds like you thought out your purchases so don't beat yourself up too much for it.
Sounds like the stress shopping is a common theme around here. I've been really depressed the last two months and I go through spells where I want nothing and spells where I want everything. It's hard staying in control sometimes.
True. I think that's why I got backups of the brow pencil. It was only $15.25, and it was in the cute RiRi rose-gold packaging (compared to $20.00 in regular packaging).

There is also the chance that the nerve damage that has been done is permanent so she may not regain the feeling she's lost either.
We'll get through this though. We get through every hurdle thrown our way. This is just the biggest one yet. We can do it though. In the mean time, I'll wrap a shit ton of presents.
I'm sorry to read this. If it helps, your mother seems to be going through what my FIL went through. He had the surgery, and it helped tremendously. He still does his excercises and wears compression socks, but it's way better than it was a few years ago. I hope everything works out for the both of you.
Peach, I'm sorry you have so many health worries, and now your mother, too. My thoughts are with you both. Sounds like the presents are a concrete way for you to show how much you care, when you don't have any control over the health issues, so don't beat yourself up over it. Wrap those presents with love, and go easy on yourself.
Isn't Vibrancy Eye supposed to be joining the Lightful range, or am I remembering that wrong?
Ugh, that sales associate. :shock: I wouldn't fret too, too much: the brow pencils and gel were a need, and you saved some money. Think of the perfume and the lippie as treats, perhaps? You did do very well this month, and there's still December to go, so you can still finish strong!
Oh, Peach. :support:
That sound like a really rough patch.
Peach you and your family are in my prayers. I really hope things get better for you and you're able to enjoy a wonderful holiday season, stress free. :hug:
Thank you so much for always being supportive. You're awesome! :frenz: Yeah, the sales associate didn't even greet me, and instead of offering me any assistance she passed me by and positioned herself by the door (like a security guard) as if to make sure I didn't run out with anything. Then when I was ready to checkout, she said she had to go to the back room for the stock but clearly hesitated as if she didn't want to leave me by myself. As I paid for everything, she checked my ID (which is fine) but she looked at it suspiciously and stared at it as if to make sure it wasn't fake. I don't know. I tried to ignore those things because it could be just my perception. Plus I was there to shop, relax, and have fun. What did upset me was... when I called and asked her about their exchange policy and explained that the brow gel was only 2/3 full, she flat out told me that she checked it before I left and that it was 100% full which is obviously a lie because she didn't open any box to check any of the products. Otherwise, she would've seen that it was noticeably less than a full product. Why lie and make me feel like a liar? I asked her if I could go back on Monday for an exchange. She told me I had to go back that same day (Saturday). I explained that I won't have a ride until Monday. She insisted I had to go back that day if I want it exchanged for that reason. I just bought $210 worth of products. Did she think I was trying to scam them for a $12 brow gel? I let my Mom borrow my car for the weekend, and it wasn't worth asking her to drive back for a $12 brow gel, so I called again and spoke with the assistant manager this time who said it was no problem that I could come in on Monday to have it exchanged and that it was "probably just miscommunication". No, I don't think so. The sales associate was obviously giving me a hard time for whatever reason.Ugh, that sales associate. :shock: I wouldn't fret too, too much: the brow pencils and gel were a need, and you saved some money.

Couldn't have said it more clearly!The sales associate was an a-hole to you. I just hope she was having a bad day and isn't always like that.
That's such bad service, sucks to be that sales assistant she must be a sad person to be that much of a tw#t! But hold your head up high getting it sorted because you're in the right and they're in the wrongThank you so much for always being supportive.

Tan and Rose are beautiful, you'll use them a lot.Thanks for all the love and support, ladies. I really appreciate it.
I was naughty and purchased the Objects of Affection pigment set in the Red/PInk. It was £26 and the MAC "size to go" pigments are £10 each. I've always wanted Tan, Rose & Heritage Rouge so I'm happy with the purchase getting those 3 of the price of less than 3 "size to go" ones plus 2 others. My only MAC purchase in a while though.
I agree!
