Feeling like having a bit of a moan....
I'm trying to decide how much I want to make peace with my local Sephora,
I think it's in my best interest to go to the VIB Rouge event tomorrow since waiting and using the 20% off online will make me pay duty (but will allow me to get samples). On the other hand, if I go to the Rouge event, I won't have to pay duty, but I'll have to sweat in a crowded store with my winter coat and I'll have to deal with the stink eye of the employees at my local store.
I need about $300 worth of stuff. I'm seriously contemplating paying duty to avoid this whole mess.

If you're the bigger person, you'll feel better about it! And its cheaper for you! Hopefully there are samples there too.

I've decided to do just that A girlfriend is coming over after work for a bottle of bubbles before stumbling walking over. It's crazy to buy stuff online when I live a few minutes walk from the flagship Sephora for my area. I work with inner city youth and criminals, I'm not normally easy to intimidate. I don't know why I'm being such a wimp about this. It's annoying me :/

It went well I spoke with the store manager at length, and apparently two of the employees who I was concerned about running into no longer work there. I only ran into one employee who makes me uncomfortable, he spent a bunch of time sucking up to me and trying to make me buy things I clearly didn't want. I think sometimes when employees see how much a client spends, they assume we will just buy anything. I ended up signing up for a class with him this coming Sunday. I'm trying.... Did you go to yours?

Did you go to yours? That's good! Glad you did it. I went to mine. I have a friend at work who wanted to go. I had used the promo code on two orders earlier in the day. Those things are already on a truck for delivery today. In store, I believe I got 2 things- an eye liner and lotion.

oh cool!!!!! That's fun! Whet did her makeup look like? I p'd say really clean and precise makeup; a neutral glam look with excellent application. I am not familiar with retail; do you need your SSN before doing the I9? He. It's the JCP manager that I have to interview with, so no makeup. xD But i did get the job (kinda), BUT I have to wait for the new Sephora manager to get trained (her first day was yesterday) and up to date and I have to do another interview with her. And she has to get trained for JCP and Sephora so he said it may take a month or two. But once she's in I interview with her and switch departments, so we'll see how that goes. I'm happy and 'eh' about it at the same time, half way in the door if nothing else. Any news? Do we have a real live Sephora employee in our midst?

CUSTOMS DUTIES make steam come out of my ears!!! A friend sent me a few samples with my Christmas present and marked that the content of the parcel was $200 worth of "samples" and beauty products. $74.60 worth of duty!!! Never ever use the word "sample" on something crossing the boarder and always undervalue. Bah! Humbug! SO grumpy about this.

Here's a beauty rant: was sitting on my bite agave lip mask on the couch (to warm it up because it has been in the mid 20's here) otherwise it is impossible to get out of the tube.
I get up to go do something come back and my lip mask is gone. My dog chewed it!!!
Luckily there was only one big hole and I was able to squeeze it into a container. Lol.

They eat the weirdest things! He's a big boy. He used to have this sock fetish. Like he would literally try and take your socks off your feet and eat them. He also (unbeknownst to me until he pooped it out on a walk) ate my underwear. OMG. I was horrified.

Rant: Damn boss working my nerve!! As for those no-buy people?! WTH they are a chatting bunch of ladies and from what I can see they buy more than the ladies who aren't even on a no-buy! Geeezeeeee!!! I dont understand people on " LOW BUY " threads AT ALL they are women with a shopping addiction who buy more than normal people do and the hauls and pics they post of their recent buys are insane they have more makeup than a sephora , ULTA or MAC store combined.I dont understand why those women would be buying anything at all especially if they cant afford it or if they claim to know they have a problem why not get help .They should be paying their bills or credit cards off or paying their rent not buying s*** they clearly cant afford.Makeup expires too you cant even use all that stuff they buy in a year so whats the point of having it.I got banned from specktra for telling people on a low buy thread to grow up and get help or become homeless with makeup on they cant afford lol.Plus everyone on that thread was encouraging people to buy stuff and they were no help they just made excuses for them saying aww its okay dear like no its not okay she dont have a job or any money apparently the last thing she needs is piles of makeup.

Snowstorms. All my Christmas gift orders which are coming UPS are delayed to the point where I wont get them before I fly to Asia tomorrow. Everything should have been here by the beginning of last week and I'm freaking out because I won't have something for everyone to open on Christmas. I really thought I ordered everything with plenty of time to spare and now I look like a hot mess.

I got all my orders except one which scares me because it said it shipped and I didnt get it yet but items that I ordered that shipped out later I received and this one apparently shipped early and its no where to be found I'am worried so I emailed customer service like twice about it I dont know where my order is.But we all know how customer service doesnt help you out so looks like I will just be anxiously waiting for my package to get here if it ever gets here lol.

Some of my stuff freezes in the cold temps lately. My Deva Curl cream container exploded because it froze inside the container. That plus the UPS guy decided it's too much to go up my tiny driveway and sometime leaves packages IN the driveway or on the mailbox. Hopefully nothing gets taken or driven over. How bad is that? Leaving stuff in the driveway.

Leaving stuff in the driveway. Ugh that stinks! My old driver used to leave stuff in our carport because he was nice enough to see, oh gee no cars at the house the owners must not be home. Now stuff gets left on the porch more often than not where it is much more visible. Plus sometimes if it is raining hard our porch gets really wet and I have come home to soaking packages (nothing got damaged inside). How frustrating!
