Mini Hiatus

Hey all.

Usually I try to update this blog a few times over the weekend, but lately I haven't really been up to blogging. I recently ordered a package from Makeup Geek and I was really crushed when I realized that despite saying "Delivered" on the USPS tracking site, my package was nowhere to be found in my apartment complex. I'm not sure what exactly happened. I don't know if it got mailed to the wrong address, somebody stole it, or it was a USPS computer error. I've been waiting for a week and still nothing, so it's unlikely to be a computer error at this point.

I haven't gotten in touch with USPS yet regarding this matter; I was actually planning on going tomorrow in person to figure things out. From what I read on the internet, USPS doesn't really do anything about lost packages. They just make you file a claim and usually you get no response back. I have heard that Makeup Geek has good customer service, so I'm hoping I can explain my situation and get some sort of refund, gift voucher, or have the products mailed to me again. I paid about $42 for a bunch of makeup I was SUPER excited to try, so it's a little disheartening that this has happened. It's put me in a really foul mood. Everytime I think about makeup now, I automatically go back to thinking about how I lost a $50 package in the mail and may not get my money back. I haven't watched any Youtube videos or visited my favorite beauty blogs in a while, which is saying quite a lot.

I online shop all the time and nothing like this has happened to me before, so I'm not sure what to make of it. I have a hard time believing somebody stole the package because my apartment complex is huge and it would be weird if my package was the only one stolen out of the 20 packages sitting in our lobby. It most likely was delivered to the wrong address, but I'm not sure what USPS or MUG would do about that. I'm crossing my fingers that MUG will be nice and re-ship my order, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Until I get the situation sorted out, I probably won't be blogging. As I mentioned, thinking about anything beauty or makeup related just makes me feel upset about the situation and my heart just isn't into it right now. A $50 package may not seem like a lot, but when you're a medical student with a bunch of loans, it means the world. Here's hoping I can retrieve my package! :(
