Saying it isn't that serious honestly is a huge insult. You know it is just that serious because you're on here with the rest of us, not getting any sleep, stalking this place or that place, visiting 5 different physical stores, waiting 3hrs in a waiting room all for nothing. Clearly it
IS serious.
Collections like this bring out all sorts of people will their own experiences and perceptions, obviously we will disagree, argue, be catty and whatever else. How the heck else do you expect a bunch of people to act? Like everything is all smelling of roses and pretty sparkly pixie dust being sprinkled around like life is genuinely all good, all the time?! Not gonna happen.
We should be able to come here and not feel used that we share information with each other and have people come here to solely read that info, take it and run! Of course this can be seen as dramatic but when you want something and are tying to be nice in helping others it gets extremely annoying to constantly miss out.
There are plenty of forums, private and public who go through this ALL the time and we are no different. I'm sorry if people feel like we are rude and dramatic and whatever else but to see someone solely make an account to bash people and our opinions is what makes the experience here crappy.
I wish I could just lock up this section but I don't have the power. Maybe soon that will happen but I can't do it.
Rambling at this point, but feel free to pm me if needed.
I completely agree with you! I just take issue to people assuming that new joiners are just here to be selfish with the information that is shared here. I joined to contribute and to share information as I am able, and because I have a strong enthusiasm for cosmetics. And we are all subject to the same rules and restrictions of the site. There are people who have been here a long time that have obviously created bonds and friendships and have an understanding for things that some of us newcomers do not, and there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that. But damn, everyone on here was new at some point, and some of the commentary here can give the impression that being "new" is a bad thing, and that you are not allowed to have certain information. So far I've had nothing but good experiences on here, but I have seen some nonsense as well. It's hella easy for words to be misconstrued or taken out of context on a computer screen. But at the end of the day, it IS just makeup, and we wouldn't all be here if we didn't share a love (or at least a strong like) for it!
