Unfortunately, there are far too many women who try and return - over and over and over.<br /><br />As for drugstore makeup, there is so much wonderful "stuff" to buy. I just bought two new Maybelline shadow palettes tonight. Can't wait to try them tomorrow!Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-54119851029196704652010-06-22T16:57:28.908-04:002010-06-22T16:57:28.908-04:00i do not think i ever made a return on any beauty ...i do not think i ever made a return on any beauty product. but then i was also very lucky to have worked at a department store for some time, so i always had an opportunity to walk over to the cosmetics counter and ask for a sample of the product i was interested in. nowadays i mostly stick to drugstore makeup and find that it works just as well. i do think that it is absolutely appropriate to beUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919700453496161899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-53503628943510917482010-06-19T19:18:41.308-04:002010-06-19T19:18:41.308-04:00Hey there, Marcia - thank you!

I'm not talking about bad reactions, I'm talking about the people who think it's alright to buy it, wear it for a few days, and then decide they don't "need" that color. Those are the people that make us all look bad.MarciaFhttp://www.beautyinfozone.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-34139240457309207972010-06-19T17:41:24.370-04:002010-06-19T17:41:24.370-04:00Hi Clarisse,

One was smelly (the odd Becca one), I had an allergic reaction to another (had vitamin A in it), and a few were misrepresented. That's it!<br /><br />Love hearing from you!Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-75910322137082055452010-06-19T17:27:12.147-04:002010-06-19T17:27:12.147-04:00Very interesting review: I have made a few bad cho...Very interesting review: I have made a few bad choices (I was younger..) and accepted to purchase foundations which were too dark for me or eye-shadows which I did not like after all on my eyes(plum, purple etc..)

They give the good ones a bad name.<br /><br />I'm curious, since I love Orgasm Illuminator...what don't you like about it? Is your skin dark, medium, or light (approximately)?<br /><br />Since it's basically sealed, you can probably work a trade with a friend who has a mistake purchase. <br /><br />Aside from that, Sephora is good Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-29494041618879273012010-06-19T16:50:55.743-04:002010-06-19T16:50:55.743-04:00I so very hate to return product...But some stores...I so very hate to return product...But some stores do a lot of melodrama, when it comes to giving out sample.

That's probably because so many drugstore products are sealed, and there's no way to test in advance. They do have sample packs of the higher-end products, such as Lierac and La Roche-Posay, but none for Maybelline or L'Oreal.<br /><br />Then Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-17096501645139180592010-06-19T12:35:01.296-04:002010-06-19T12:35:01.296-04:00Thanks Charlestongirl - I agree whole-heartedly to...Thanks Charlestongirl - I agree whole-heartedly to what you say!Fab Over 40https://www.blogger.com/profile/03788512116933371359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-12810030559941386982010-06-19T12:22:44.107-04:002010-06-19T12:22:44.107-04:00My opinion, Blythe:

But what about when a product works well for other people, but your skin/hair/whatever has a bad reaction to it? It's not your fault that you can't use it, it's not the company's fault either, is that a justified return?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549806868816861138noreply@blogger.com
