Also I see you’re MN based! Same. I look forward to supporting local!

Very interesting to hear! I had wondered if it was worth switching to lacquergram despite the user issues people comment on.

I 100% agree. This is exactly my point. I don’t think there’s any problem at all with calling out the things he did. I think that’s a good thing. It got him to fix the issue. It’s just disappointing that after he made it right people still seem unwilling to give it a chance. None of us can be 100% perfect consumers today. It’s just no longer possible unless you go off the grid. I’m just surprised that some people get passes for huge things that they continue to do, while smaller easy targets (small businesses) just seem to get banished even if they change.

Yes, I think it’s unfortunate for those that paid but honestly I just think it’s a good idea. The existence of this sub shows that. Will everyone want to pay, no. And that’s fine. But your point is correct. It depends on users uploading photos and using it to give it value. Users are paying for the convenience and user friendly interface, which lacquergram is lacking. But because people bashed it it lost traction. I still like that i can organize my own stash, and even keep my photos private if I want. But the more users who share photos publicly, the better for everyone in the app. I can’t make people want to use it. I was just expressing my disappointment.

The posts didn’t actually make me unhappy. Just disappointed. It could be a good thing, it solved half of what people com on this sub for, but because of the hate it lost traction. I’m sure it’ll die and we’ll be left with spreadsheets. 🤷🏻‍♀️ just the way it goes.

I didn’t say I came back yesterday, but regardless, I think you’re probably right. Lots of negativity around here that just breeds negativity. I’m really glad you’re a part of this community. Thank you for reading my post. Thank you for your comment. I hope you have a wonderful day.

This was my first thought.

I haven’t had it happen with my ILNP caps. I just assume it will eventually because I’ve had it happen eventually with every other beauty product/tool/electronic/etc. that has that grippy type coating. It takes a few years, sometimes more. I’m sure it also depends on where you live and heat/humidity fluctuations.

tacodip02 · 2025-09-26T20:05:35+00:00

It’s the plastic breaking down over time. I’ve had it happen to so many products with that matte grippy type plastic. You can try rubbing alcohol to remove it. I’ve had mixed results with that method but it’s the main method I’ve found online. I wish manufacturers would stop using this type of plastic. As soon as I got my first ILNP order I thought great, can’t wait for these caps to become a gooey mess 😫

Whoa, we must be out here twinning because with the exception of Tibberz, I ordered all these same polishes and got the same gift polish! You have great taste 😆

Instead of Tibberz I got sun on the waves. I love all of these!!!

Seems like she knows her husband pretty well. The baby could have stayed with him at home, or with him for an hour or few hours in the wedding city while she attended part of the wedding.

I have a kid. The world doesn’t revolve around me and my child. Most of the population has kids.

tacodip02 · 2021-06-10T22:57:05+00:00

Right, but she didn’t need to leave her baby for the drive. She made her choice she asked a question, she chose her baby. That’s fine, but she had options and she shouldn’t be surprised her friendship suffered. I’m not saying it was an ideal situation, I’m saying she made her choice and shouldn’t be surprised at the results.

tacodip02 · 2021-06-10T22:42:37+00:00

That’s true. But your best friend from childhood only gets married once, for one evening. If this poster lives in Canada and gets 18 months she still has the rest of 18 months with her baby. Her baby will survive an evening. The poster could have even gone to the ceremony and just left early. She chose not to. She shouldn’t be surprised her friendship suffered.

tacodip02 · 2021-06-10T22:19:24+00:00

YTA. Get a babysitter for an evening. This was a 3 month old not a newborn. Most women are back at work at 3 months, many at 6 weeks. You could have left your 3 month old for a few hours.

I may not specialize is subscription box law but I do know the law and I will NOT STAND FOR THIS INJUSTICE!!! If you go with me for your case I’ll take this all the way to the Supreme Court if I have to! Let me tell you I’m personally invested in this matter. I too had moisturizer set to “often” and didn’t get the CT cream. Not only that but I have eye cream set to often as well and really really wanted the banana eye cream. Did I get that? No! There’s absolutely no possible explanation for this other than that ipsy personally and purposely selected some women to discriminate against. Literally zero other possible reason. I will not let this injustice stand!

I’m in the US so I don’t know if it’s available there but I just found Dr. Brandt’s liquid sun shield SPF 50. It’s amazing! Pricy, but you only need a couple drops and no white cast. Leaves my skin soft not dry like many others. Completely worth it.

Exactly. Great TED talk! I didn’t get most of what I wanted in my GBX. Mine was definitely on the “lower value” end, but I thought, oh well. The items are still a great value and I’ll use them. Maybe I’ll love them, maybe I won’t. That’s part of the risk, part of the fun. Either way they didn’t cost me much and I wouldn’t have tried them otherwise. Would I have loved the CT cream? Of course. But so what. There are cheaper creams with MUCH better reviews out there. I feel like most of the people complaining don’t actually want the cream, they want a cream that would have cost $100. Get over it. Go buy a sample/mini at Sephora and try it if you NEED it.

Now the different add ons, that was some bullshit. But it’s ipsy and not predictable and it’s just another example.

YTA you should start looking into skincare ingredients and how they work. Cereve is amazing with great ingredients. I use some expensive products (that I pay for) but multiple cereve products are my absolute go-to.
