Hey Ragers and Ragettes!
Oh. My. God.
It is the second of March but snowing.
What the actual fuck????? I’m
wearing a black and beige jumper dress, my fleece lined black leggings, my knee
high black 5 inch stiletto boots with my fuchsia pink lippy. It’s seriously a shitty day.
Well the past 7 days have been crazy! I got together with Suzanne on Thursday and
took her out to lunch as it was her birthday.
Suzanne is looking fab!!! She has
had a makeover and not that she wasn’t fab before, but daaaaaammnn!!! She looks stunning!!!! We had a laugh, a great catch up and I left
appreciating her more.
When I got home, Simon told me that we were going somewhere –
he was very vague. He put the
information in the sat nav and before I knew it, we were in the Wirral picking
out a Bengal kitten!!! Yes, we have
added to our furry family. She is a diva that is for sure!!! She’s inquisitive and sweet!!! It takes time getting used to as she tried to
steal my dinner off my plate. She’s a
prinnie indeed!!!
The big issue though, has reared its ugly head in the last
24 hours.
If you are a woman living in Britain, you have probably
heard of a makeup brand called “Younique”.
This only came onto my radar last year when I started getting forcibly
added to groups on Facebook. Then my old
hairdresser (that cleaned my hair up and styled it into my cute pixie crop last
year) who went on maternity leave, added me into a Younique group. As I liked her, I decided to purchase the 3D
Fiber Mascara that she was promoting on her group page. She said it was better than false
lashes.
I received my mascara.
The packaging was nice. I tried
the mascara (which cost me £21) and...well, I’d rather spend £19.50 on my
benefit roller lash mascara, thank you very much! I have tried fiber lash mascara before, from
Too Faced and I didn’t like it. This one
was utter shite. And by the way, if you
want lashes that look like falsies? Wear
false lashes! I prefer having my false
lashes on, personally.
Anyway, I soon forgot the mediocre mascara then a friend of
mine on Facebook, Diana, started selling Younique. I was added, yet again, to another
group. But this time, it was
different.
I like Diana. She is
a pretty woman with an engaging smile. I
have had great conversations with her. I
didn’t realise that there was a monster in the making.
She sent me a message happily discussing Younique saying how
happy she is! This makeup is amazing,
Betty!!! I told her that I had bought
the fiber lash mascara but I wasn’t too impressed with it. She didn’t seem to take that bit of
information in. So, again, to be nice, I
bought a £21 eye shadow from her. Little
did I know that this was going to set off a chain reaction of craziness.
When I was in America, Simon and I got caught up in a
downpour while at the zoo. I posted a
funny picture of me looking like a drenched mess, mascara running down my face
(but my lippy was perfectly in place!!!) and Diana commented, “Awwwww babe,
bless you...get to somewhere warm and have a hot drink......Next time wear
Younique”.
Wow.
The eye shadow was delivered when I was away in
America. When I got back I eagerly
opened it and....it was a lumpy scary looking gun metal grey cream eye shadow.
Then the messages began...Betty, did you receive your eye
shadow? Yes Diana. Have you tried it yet, Betty? No, haven’t had an occasion to try it.
Then every other day, the same messages. Betty, have you tried the eye shadow. For fuckssake! Honestly!!!
No, Diana, I have not tried the scary looking over priced shitty eye
shadow!!!!!! (Keep in mind a paint pot
eye shadow from Mac is £16.00 and that shitty eye shadow was £21.......)
Every time I posted a selfie, Diana messaged, or commented,
are you wearing the eye shadow and fiber lash mascara.
NO I AM NOT WEARING THAT SHIT!!!
Then she asked me about hosting a virtual Younique
party. I politely declined. Diana didn’t take that too kindly. She tried emotional blackmail on me, but when
you have a crazy Italian Mama like mine, no amount of emotional black mail will
work on me.
Then Suzanne told me that she decided to start selling
Younique. Oh.
My. God. I almost clawed my eyes out!!!!
But as the weeks went on, Suzanne decided that she didn’t
want to sell it.
Then my real issue with Diana started.
Basically, Suzanne was selling under Diana. Diana only cared about Suzanne when she
signed up to sell Younique. After that?
Diana lost interest in Suzanne.
She basically stopped being supportive or contacting Suzanne.
Let’s get something straight here, Ragers and Ragettes. You mess with me, that’s one thing, but if
you fuck with my best friend or my family?
Oh dear...what a mistake to make!!!
Suzanne did her research and selling Younique is basically a
pyramid scheme. The makeup is over
priced. Yes, the thought behind it is
great. It empowers women, which I am all
for! From all the lovely daily updates
that Diana puts on her statuses about how great the company is, if you want to
sell Younique, go for it!! I encourage
you to follow your dreams. But please,
DON’T BE A DICK. Don’t add me into
groups. Don’t bully me into trying to
buy more. Don’t emotionally black mail
me into buying this.
Then a “friend” that I haven’t spoken to for ages contacted
me out of nowhere....and why did she want to meet up for lunch? She wanted to introduce me to a fabulous new makeup
brand....Younique.
Since the beginning of January, I have been added to 12
Younique Facebook groups. I have had
enough.
So I am going to make this easy: I AM NOT INTERESTED IN YOUNIQUE. I DON’T WANT TO BUY YOUNIQUE. PLEASE STOP ADDING ME TO YOUNIQUE FACEBOOK
GROUPS. I AM HAPPY WITH MY MAC, BENEFIT
AND PEACHES AND CREAM (That’s a boss makeup brand, my new favourite!) THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.
And breathe. Now that rant is over, I am going to leave work
to go and buy my new fittings for my bathroom.
(I’m changing from monochrome to fuchsia)
So until next time, Ragers and Ragettes, keep your heads and
standards high and your heels even higher
Lots of love
The Fabulous Betty Rage xxxxx
