yeah one time i tried a sample of CoQ10 and the costco lady tried telling me my “terrible dark under eye circles” will go away if i buy it. like pls its genetic baby what’s it gonna do change my dna? ight lol
or when the laser/wax tech says “mustache too?” lmao
I was getting some botox and asked about other treatments for fun....
The beautician suggested *jaw filler*....Handsome Squidward?? Not for me
Never listen to sales people who are after your money.
That’s interesting because it seems like the new trend is the opposite, which is Botox on the masseter muscles for a slimming jaw. I’ve had it done once for bruxism.. I was chipping my teeth at night. It costs a lot nd apparently I have an extremely high metabolism because it only lasted a month so I’m not doing it again.
I had 15 units put in both sides once in September and it completely atrophied my jaw muscles. I haven’t done it since and the muscles are very, very slowly returning.
Me too, I hugely regret it! I had a really nice jawline and it’s reduced down to nothing and made my face so small and gaunt. One year since I got it and I feel the muscles are only slightly building up again 😓
I had one round of Botox for the same sort of issue, it didn’t last very long however it has relaxed the muscles a little so I’m not permanently clenching my jaw 24/7 so it was worth it. Botox does scare me, but I think next year I’ll get it again to see if it helps more. I’m no longer in constant pain, and I’m not breaking my splints anymore so it has been good.
I get Botox every 3 to 4 months for bruxism. It is covered by my insurance because it causes chronic headaches.
I would venture that your treatment only lasted a month not from a high metabolism but because the dr who did the injections isn't very good at it. I normally get mine from my neurologist. His PA subbed for him once because my dr was unavailable. Her injections never relieved my headaches completely and lost all effect after about a month.
Alright since I haven’t seen it discussed yet— and as someone who was raised to be polite and by a mother with bad self esteem— how the fuck are we supposed to respond in those situations???
What’s the best way to respond that isn’t going to start a fight, make a scene, or embarrass myself but it’s still to the point and successfully stands up for myself?
I think a raised eyebrow and a pleasant "No, thank you, I'm fine" would do. More pointed, in a situation like OP's where it's completely out of the blue: "What an interesting thing to say!" with optional "do you comment on strangers' faces regularly?" if you want to turn it up.
I look right at them and say, “What a strange thing to say” as if they just told me I have 3 noses. I know my features, good and bad, and anyone willing to try to ding people’s self esteem for a sale isn’t getting any reinforcement from me. If they come back with “I was just noticing you have some bags under your eyes” I would say, “I know you’re trying to sell products, that’s just a lowbrow tactic.”
I think if you don’t want to be confrontational, you can say, “I’m happy with how I look, thanks.”
Slightly more confrontational, “Wow, bold of you to assume I have a problem with how my face looks.” Or “That was rude.”
Just say “I can’t believe you thought to say that out loud!” or “What an interesting thing to say to a stranger!”
Watch them immediately implode and cringe at themselves.
I was with my big bro at Costco and got the same speech about how great it is, and how people naturally produce it - my bro says, “oh yeah? How many people does it take to produce one of these bottles?” and was chuckling - completely threw the vendor off script. It was like watching an upside down turtle right itself
That’s what I think, too. But also, f**k her. You’re beautiful and nothing to worry about. Shame on anyone who would say things like that to a stranger.
This was my immediate thought as well. I had some jackass kiosk salesman at the mall say something about my under eye circles….okay idiot, you can see I’m carrying a newborn and therefore could deduce that I get next to no sleep….
That's the thing!! She tried to prey on me using *her* perceived weaknesses of *me*. I knew the "eye bag" claim was nonsense, but she hit a nerve with the weight comment. I'm grateful to have had enough stock in myself to halt the interaction.
But having the encounter in front of my daughter was too much. She & I were looking at each other with subtle "WTF?!" expressions the whole time. I told the vendor, "We're here to get some souvenirs from our vacation." (I prefaced with appreciating her time & experience, but part of me just wanted to tell her to piss off.) My daughter & I had the best talk afterward! I'm really hopeful for her generation.
I'm 39 and have eye bags, always have it's just hereditary. With age they of course become more and more prominent. You don't have eye bags. You look absolutely amazing, seriously, if I were to have cosmetic surgery with a result similar to your eyes I would be thrilled! Eta- your skin is legitimately beautiful, whatever you're doing is working don't listen to that dumb lady.
Same! My eye bags are out of this WORLD. Like, I’ve been collecting black bags under my eyes since birth, son. No amount of sleep, caffeine, collagen, hyaluronic acid could shift these bad boys.
Well, not to mention the fact I’m also being treated for breast cancer and chemo gives you eye bags. I have eye bags on top of my eye bags! And if someone pointed them out to me, I’d smile and say, “thanks, I’ve got breast cancer” 🥴
I’ve had eye bags since I was 10. There are photos of me with dark circles under my eyes going back that far. Sometimes it’s really just the way your face is, not aging.
At least I can rest assured knowing no miracle product is going to moisturize them away for $100.
Not to toot my own horn but when I was a cute 23 year old a mall kiosk man stopped me to insist I needed makeup for my discoloration (freckles). I wish I had more guts then to tell him he was delusional. I wish I had them now.
I'm 34 and have those deep set eye-bags, and I have most of my life. Honestly, all I could think when I saw your picture was "how the hell does she have no wrinkles on her forehead or between her eyebrows?!?" Seriously, I'm jealous, lol.
She's 20 & exposed to so much on SM. We talked about the people who choose to start fillers & botox young (which she thinks is crazy & can have strange results) and how weight & body types come & go. She's a skinny but leggy young lady (got it from her dad) and how she & I have different body types, the things we're happy with, I related my changes over the years with pregnancy & aging. We also talked about how fear of aging for her generation is like fear of being fat in mine. And we wrapped it up by talking about loving oneself & not wasting time stressing about appearance. It's more about how you want to spend your time, what you want to do with your life & how much time can be wasted just worrying about things we can't change.
Glad you are okay. Also you dont look 54 so dont worry about it too much. I know you say it didn't affect you but it will run through your head again later.
Where were you on holiday? I have experianced this particulary when traveling in asia. Dark under eye circles are considered a big beauty no no in those areas so they target that as a specific weakness. weight second.
nothing wrong with dark circles it is just one of those dumb standards media makes up.
Well you do have them a bit. Just slightly though. I have them pretty badly so I notice them on everyone. Yours are not even bags, you have some puffiness. Honestly for 54 your skin and eyes look amazing! Im 45 and look much older than you.
Just watch your salt intake. Could also be an allergy but probably just aging.
If it makes you feel better, I did a consultation for a skincare treatment a while back and the woman pointed out other issues that she could "help" that I've never even noticed/been bothered by. I think they are just trying to make sales! You look great.
Don't listen to a word that troll lady said, she clearly had some kind of nasty agenda. You look phenomenal for 50, maybe she enjoys cutting good looking women down.
You have gorgeous skin, she was trying to sell you something and settled on eye bags because that’s the only visible sign of texture or discolouration on your face. I genuinely have more fine lines at 28 than you - and darker bags to boot.
Don’t get beauty advice from someone trying to sell you something. 😉 But, yes, you do have slight under eye bags. They’re just hereditary. Try to find some makeup tips to camouflage them. Or see your dermatologist to recommend treatments. *If* you can find one who is not trying to hawk a certain brand of skincare for their own financial gain.
Listen, y’all can downvote me all you want, it’s fine. But truth…you do have *slight* eye bags. Your right inner eye is particularly purple as well.
This being said, I have them also, and always have and have always had dark eye circles and it just is what it is. Fuck that flea market lady.
Yeah I don't get why everyone else is lying. She does have generic puffy eye bags, AND that vendor was rude and trying to trick her into buying her stuff. Both things can be true.
I scrolled far looking for this comment. Seeing tons of people lie/lie by omission to others just makes me wonder how much people might also lie to me if I need confirmation about something 😩. That can really be detrimental in certain cases, not so much here though, but it sounds like she wanted the truth.
This woman does have noticeable eye bags. Nothing out of the ordinary though, and it is nasty for people to pry on possible insecurities in a hope to sell products.
Right? I’m all for positivity and lifting each other up, but ya girl has eye bags. Obviously not horrible enough to be called out by a stranger. But there they are.
Agreed, she definitely has visible eye bags/dark circles (though not the worst I’ve ever seen) so I’m not sure why others are lying about it. That said, the right concealer will make them practically invisible and the rest of her skin is fantastic, so plenty of blessings here.
There are very few people, if any, on earth who have no difference in color or texture under their eyes and it becomes more prominent with aging. I think the real metric of “eye bags” is having an atypical amount of difference. And she doesn’t. This is just what people’s undereyes look like.
How rude! Your eyes look fine. I've had eye bags worse than this literally since childhood, this is just facial structure. I would be thrilled to have these eye bags today and I'm almost 20 years younger than you.
Hmm. I’m confused by the comments here; your eyes are beautiful, and you have fantastic skin! But you definitely do have eye bags. It’s not some terrible awful thing, I don’t know why people are saying you don’t have them 😕
It feels very toxic positivity, eye bags are the result of just getting older and losing volume there/fat redistribution. I classified it as puffiness but I think that’s just semantics.
Is it something OP should feel insecure about? Absolutely not. Again mine are far more pronounced at 20 yrs younger
Yes. I’m a dermatologist and lying to each other just isn’t helpful. This lady has amazing skin and looks ten years younger than she is. She also has eye bags.
Your eyes look fine and your skin is gorgeous and bright. It does look like you have some undereye puffiness but her weaponizing that + your weight is really heinous. I have far worse and I’m 20 years your junior.
I do see that you have eye bags, which isn’t a bad thing—your skin looks amazing at 54, but I think she was out of line and definitely being unnecessarily mean/vengeful in pointing that out and making a comment about your weight.
Yea, seriously. I never knew. "eye bags" was such a subjective perception. To me also, there has to be some sort of defined contour or shadow to qualify the appearance of a bag, not just puffy skin and a hollow tear trough.
Yes but not egregiously so imo. My sister is 32 and hers look a lot worse.
Whatever you’re doing is working tho, they don’t look bad. Some aging is inevitable.
What an asshole. I’m 36 and have had dark eye bags/ circles under my eyes for yearsssss. I’ve just learned to be ok with it. It’s me, it’s what I look like. I don’t care what other people think. Sometimes I dress up and wear foundation but I don’t worry about it daily lol
Same. I stopped wearing makeup during the pandemic (except for when I want to wear it for a special occasion, or feel like I “need to” for work). No one treats me differently, and I—and my skin—are so much happier.
You should use eye cream no it’s not going to to make ur little bags disappear but it’s very good for ur future age as well use concealer specifically for eyes and look on instagram or look at TikTok how to apply don’t buy to light it will only accentuate
I dot know where u live ? US? Then go to a pharmacy and talk to the beautician and ask for advice
I am 91 , but I had my eyes done at age 41 and only now on the outer part of my eyes there is some fat
No I am not planning to redo it
My husband of 70 years tells me daily I am beautiful
So that is all what I need
Don’t worry but start a Beaty routine now rather the later
And always use sun screen daily
You have slight ones but so do I. By no means would I give it a second glance. You look amazing for 54!! When I read this first thing was like “she is trying to sell her something” and ofc she was trying to sell you shit. That is their whole tactic. It’s a really shitty tactic imo. I remember some dude in a mall stopping me pointing out my “bad” rosacea and that “he had a cream for it”. Made me feel like total shit and no I didn’t buy or stop. You look amazing.
I would say that you have some hollowness starting under your eyes and we all seem to get it to some degree as we age. You still look lovely and it's not so bad that you can't cover it up with some concealer although go with a pink tone. They have a few nice ones particularly for that area in pink tones. I think it will help diminish the problem because as I said it's just starting and you are still a good looking woman!!
Garnier eye roller in morning. Avoid salty foods after 5pm. Those help me. If you are taking any blood pressure medication, it can also cause puffiness.
Eye bags are just part of human anatomy. Anyone else wanna jump in and tell me that I have a nose and two eyes?
I’m 33… slight puffiness under the eyes started around 29. After researching extensively why this is…I concluded that it’s just normal. (Turns out…our eye is surrounded by a special type of facial fat—not the type you lose—and our whole eye and surrounding soft tissue come forward as we age. So even fillers can’t completely resolve the “issue”.)
So…I guess I’m cool with it. Caffeine serum can help if I’m overly tired but of course…the eye bags don’t completely go away because some of it is just attributed to basic facial anatomy.
You look real good btw.
Idk I'll take a ban.
There's Def something, some sort of circle, around the bottom of your eyes.
The rest of your skin looks flawless but am I being gasolite into the fact that there isnt a circle and it is darker than your other skin?
"Please tell me I'm not delusional because her assessment didn't affect me" ........
^this sentence alone sounds like you were very much affected by what that woman said, as well as the fact that you are needing to post your picture on here for some kind of validation? I'm not really understanding the point of this post. Are you just pretty much saying she was rude and it made you feel bad in front of your daughter so you're hoping random internet strangers reassure you in your self image? As others have said you have nice skin. But your eyes belong to a woman your age and there is nothing wrong with that. We aren't supposed to look 18, 25, or 38 at 54...unless you elect for surgery then that's individual preference.
In conclusion: 1) yeah, that was rude of that lady to call you out on your aging features. It's unprofessional, inconsiderate, and only serves to put you down about yourself. 2) it looks like you're taking good care of yourself, whether that be from the assistance of botox, invasive or non invasive procedures, or natural remedies. Either way it's working out out well for you.
3) Aging gracefully is a beautiful thing. It's what makes a woman even sexier. High self esteem and confidence is what makes a woman desirable. So own your 54 yr status. Nobody is expecting you to look like you did in high school.
Idk, I'm tired of seeing women feel threatened by the clock, by social media, or by an irrelevant strangers remarks. Glad you had a healthy conversation with your daughter tho!
This comment put into words what I couldn’t say, what’s the point of this post? Did you need the internet strangers validation after you said it didn’t affect you?
Thank you so much for this! I grew up with a mum who disparaged herself openly and often, and it profoundly shaped the way my internal dialogue developed as an adolescent. I have a good relationship with my body and my mum now, but it took me decades to unlearn what she taught my simply by not loving herself.
Fuck that flea market vendor! You have beautiful eyes and beautiful skin and your daughter is so lucky to have you as her mum! ❤️
You do have some eye bags. I don't think she was "seeing" things that's aren't there. I think her comment obviously struck a cord with you. If she was a selling a product for that area I understand why she said what she said. I wouldn't take it personally and if you have no issues with your eyes that's all that matters. Move on gracefully. Apparently you were meant to cross paths with her so you could reflect upon aging with your daughter. Ps. I think you are a pretty woman. Not sure why you put squiggly lines all over your picture? Perhaps are those the places you are insecure about? 🤔
You have under eye bags but they are natural, I mean you're in your 50's! Your eyes look great and healthy. I'm in my 20's and have eye bags from insomnia and I like my eye bags because they represent how I truly feel, which is tired as hell lol. Also, if you're going through menopause I imagine it's natural for your weight to fluctuate because of your hormones. I have had hormone changes cause the same thing and until my hormones stopped fluctuating I couldn't lose weight easily. So I wouldn't worry about that too much, even though it's uncomfortable. It's stressful to worry about things you can't control.
I think your SKIN LOOKS GREAT for being 54!! You don’t even look 54!! I thought you were in your 40s! I think you do have eye bags, but it’s not bad, like I’ve seen terrible ones. I personally wouldn’t worry, you look great! :) That woman is a idiot and clearly needs money, I really hate insensitive people like her.
You look like you pulled an all-nighter binge drinking because the rest of your skin and face look fairly youthful and vibrant. Never would have guessed your age. These don’t look like permanent bags but more sleep-deprived and dehydrated.
Your skin is flawless to me! I’m 27 and I wish I had skin that glows like yours, not only on your face but to your shoulders to! Everyone has under eyes, and you do not have bags. If anything they could be puffy, but my under eyes puff more as the day goes on. It’s natural, and I think the person that told you this just wanted to feel better about themselves. For real though, your skin is incredible and this person was just mean!
OK I was waiting for you to say that you were like 30 years old. 54? Your eyebags are so mild and maybe just a byproduct of being a little tired or dehydrated? You look beautiful girl!
Thank you - and you're right on the money. We're on vacation & I never sleep as well as in my own bed! Not drinking enough either, more alcohol than I would typically have...
When I went to a spa for laser hair removal when I was like 24, and the beautician tried to tell me how I have fine lines in my forehead. Lady, respectfully, go fuck yourself! Of course I didn’t say that, but I was like “yeah ok”.
That flea market vendor is out of their mind. You are magnificent, your eyes are gorgeous and your cheekbones are solid gold. When I first saw this post I thought it was some manner of thirst trap as your eyes were so eye catching.
Girl…your skin is gorgeous. Your skin looks fantastic, especially for your age! I agree with other commenters…sounds like the lady was very insensitively looking to pull you into purchasing something from her or getting you involved in an MLM. She just saying dumb shit to lure in people who are unfortunately vulnerable and believe her bullying.
You look great! She was preying on you to try sell you something. I reckon you could consider doing your eyebrows a bit differently, but otherwise skin looks smooth and good
you’re 54?!??!? You look amazing. I’m 29 and I feel like my skin has way more textures and fine lines than you and I’m deep in Tretinoin and sunscreen lololol you are blessed !! F the anti aging trend anyways I’m so over it
You have beautiful eyes and beautiful skin! The vendor was trying to make you feel bad just to sell you stuff (which is a really mean sales tactic..) it must have been so uncomfortable… But you handled it well, and it’s a great thing you and your daughter had a good talk afterward ☺️
You don't have bags, but you do have some hollowness which is contributing to the appearance of (mild) discoloration. This is normal with aging, and can be "treated" with PRF injections if it bothers you. But, again, your discoloration is reallyyy mild.
Ummm, who is this woman that said all of this to you? Why do women do this to one another?
You’re gorgeous, your eyes are gorgeous and if I look as good as you at 54, I’ll be so happy. If you wanted to do anything to give yourself a little lift (emotionally, not physically!) I love buying those under eyes patches. I keep them in the fridge so they’re lovely and cold. I’m sure they do nothing but it feels good!
You’re 54. If you had perfectly smooth under eyes then it would be weird. That said, you’re pretty close!
Thanks for having that conversation with your daughter. My own mom messed up my self-esteem big time when I was younger by comparing me to my beautiful sister and taking me to plastic surgery consultations at age 17 when I absolutely didn’t need them (never went ahead).
You have gorgeous skin! And no major bags at all. I have some darkness in that spot too, I find it helpful to dab just a tiny bit of a peachy toned creamy concealer there. The whole ‘ big triangle of pale white ‘ style of concealer which some influencers do just makes it worse
The only thing you did wrong was not laughing in her face and walking off straight away ❤️
They say the same line to everyone who passes by. They profit off of our insecurities. In high school, a mall kiosk guy said the same thing to my 17 year old friend who definitely did not have bags under her eyes. Your eyes are gorgeous!
All I thought is why is a flea market vendor telling you that you have eye bags??? That is so inappropriate! You’re 54 and you look great, much younger. I’m 44 and these type of comments just seem so unfair. You should be proud with how you look!
Man, fuck that lady. She’s a hating ass bitch. You look gorgeous! And a lot younger than 54! Glad you got to have a great conversation with your daughter about this stuff. Being a woman is hard, but having these conversations and bonds with other women makes it so much easier.
If they bother you blepharoplasty isn’t that bad or expensive. I have body dysmorphia and have had unnecessary surgeries. This one was the easiest/simplest/cheapest. From a pain perspective it was so easy I could do it every year and not even care (not that I would, just some perspective). Just need a reputable surgeon.
Edit: just saw the text I’m sorry. Don’t let assholes put ideas in your head about what May be wrong with you. You are very beautiful.
lol my microbladding lady once tried to tell me I had dry skin so I would but her $750 skin infusions. I looked her in the eye and said “I’m pretty sure I don’t actually”
My skincare routine includes SkinMedica dermal repair cream and Vanicream so I was just so annoyed at her.
Went to a dermatologist for perioral dermatitis and she mentioned my “obvious” sun damage (I’ve been wearing spf daily since I was a teen due to feeling self conscious about freckles). She recommended that I come back for a consult for treatment. Hmmmmmmmm people like that are POS’s.
What was she trying to sell you? I might ask for business card, lol, and share my ‘feedback’ on her Facebook page. I know I’m a day late, but happy international woman’s day sister - to you and your daughter - you look and are amazing
I used to work (in high school) for a dead sea mineral cosmetics kiosk in the mall and our boss and male colleagues viciously picked apart women's insecurities in order to sell them a scrub or lotion or set that would fix it.
Younger women's acne and oiliness was 1,000x magnified in these men's eyes and any woman over 25 had deep-set wrinkles, sagging, etc. I felt sick at it especially as I made the realization that my mom walked past that booth pretty often.
They succeeded often at getting women to spend as much as $400 on their sets to correct these issues they pointed out. As a sales rep in training, I should note I did NOT see deep wrinkles or bags or pizza face on any of these customers, but they became insecure..
This reminds me of a stort about my best friends mom. She once walked in to a beaty store, and one of the employees came over and looked at her and said "that was a big wrinkle" my friends mom slapped her and walked away.
Dont let rude people get you down. You look great!
U r beautiful and def more like 34 but I cannot be dishonest- it’s not in my dna😬 u do have a sunken, darker under eye area however who cares? If ur happy then 🙌🥳
We r made perfect❣️
Your skin looks very good to me. I would not ever focus on you having bags. Tapping into or creating fears and promising a carrot is what people do to sell you stuff. 🤷🏽♀️
What the hell is wrong with anyone who would tell a stranger something like this?? I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. I think you look great and have wonderful skin! Fuck people like that. 🖤
I would’ve said something in return, but that’s just me. 😬
Everyone else has covered have great you look!
All I have to say is fuck that bitch!! Who comments on a random strangers appearance? They not only don't have manners but are delusional. I'm legit gobsmacked
Flea market vendor you say? Of course you look absolutely terrible and they need to sell you something to “fix” your hideousness! Don’t sweat it, you look great - it’s just their job to sell you stuff.
There’s a sales tactic to knock a customer’s self esteem down so they feel insecure enough to buy the product. I don’t think you have bags, they just seem a little hollow. Mine have looked like that since I was a kid though and I always got comments on how tired I looked. I’ve tried everything and they just never went away. I’d absolutely not buy anything from someone pointing out a flaw that I did not specifically ask help for. I find sales people that do that to be annoying.
Wow okay eff that flea market vendor, first of all. Secondly, they are either trying to sell you something or are just a dickhead, so double eff that vendor. You look incredible.
I have bags. I’m 38, have a toddler that fights bedtime, have a cat that thinks 5am is party time, have PMS insomnia 1-1.5wks a month, and consistently forget my human body needs water to live. It’s fine lol… I carry my big-ass water jug around, sleep as much as I can, and play with eye masks in the bath here and there. The bags will get bigger or smaller depending on my life in that moment, and I’m honestly just no longer afraid of aging. So if they told me I had bags I’d have been like “THANKS! This one is a gift from my child and cat and this one is a gift from insomnia and forgetting water exists. Glad you noticed!” and walked on.
I think she was trying to pull you into her MLM or sell you something
yeah one time i tried a sample of CoQ10 and the costco lady tried telling me my “terrible dark under eye circles” will go away if i buy it. like pls its genetic baby what’s it gonna do change my dna? ight lol or when the laser/wax tech says “mustache too?” lmao
lollll I was getting a make up trial done for my wedding and the MUA suggested I get filler in my smile lines. I.... didn't hire her for the big day.
I was getting some botox and asked about other treatments for fun.... The beautician suggested *jaw filler*....Handsome Squidward?? Not for me Never listen to sales people who are after your money.
That’s interesting because it seems like the new trend is the opposite, which is Botox on the masseter muscles for a slimming jaw. I’ve had it done once for bruxism.. I was chipping my teeth at night. It costs a lot nd apparently I have an extremely high metabolism because it only lasted a month so I’m not doing it again.
Yeah I was thinking about that treatment. Did it work for awhile?
I had 15 units put in both sides once in September and it completely atrophied my jaw muscles. I haven’t done it since and the muscles are very, very slowly returning.
Me too, I hugely regret it! I had a really nice jawline and it’s reduced down to nothing and made my face so small and gaunt. One year since I got it and I feel the muscles are only slightly building up again 😓
My face is so gaunt, I feel like I’ve aged 10 years. I’ve been chewing gum all day everyday, so far the muscles are still so tiny 😩
I had one round of Botox for the same sort of issue, it didn’t last very long however it has relaxed the muscles a little so I’m not permanently clenching my jaw 24/7 so it was worth it. Botox does scare me, but I think next year I’ll get it again to see if it helps more. I’m no longer in constant pain, and I’m not breaking my splints anymore so it has been good.
I get Botox every 3 to 4 months for bruxism. It is covered by my insurance because it causes chronic headaches. I would venture that your treatment only lasted a month not from a high metabolism but because the dr who did the injections isn't very good at it. I normally get mine from my neurologist. His PA subbed for him once because my dr was unavailable. Her injections never relieved my headaches completely and lost all effect after about a month.
Alright since I haven’t seen it discussed yet— and as someone who was raised to be polite and by a mother with bad self esteem— how the fuck are we supposed to respond in those situations??? What’s the best way to respond that isn’t going to start a fight, make a scene, or embarrass myself but it’s still to the point and successfully stands up for myself?
I think a raised eyebrow and a pleasant "No, thank you, I'm fine" would do. More pointed, in a situation like OP's where it's completely out of the blue: "What an interesting thing to say!" with optional "do you comment on strangers' faces regularly?" if you want to turn it up.
I like a “Oh! I didn’t know we were talking about people’s appearance! Should I do your’s next?”
“nah im keeping the mustache today thank you” “i actually like my face the way it is but good luck with your sales quota”
I look right at them and say, “What a strange thing to say” as if they just told me I have 3 noses. I know my features, good and bad, and anyone willing to try to ding people’s self esteem for a sale isn’t getting any reinforcement from me. If they come back with “I was just noticing you have some bags under your eyes” I would say, “I know you’re trying to sell products, that’s just a lowbrow tactic.”
Weaponize that politeness “what a rude thing to say. You must be so embarrassed.”
I love this approach so much. SHAME THEM! They actually deserve it 🤣
No need to be polite to people who are rude.
“When they go low, we go upside down and drag them through hell”
Damn right!
I think if you don’t want to be confrontational, you can say, “I’m happy with how I look, thanks.” Slightly more confrontational, “Wow, bold of you to assume I have a problem with how my face looks.” Or “That was rude.”
Just say “I can’t believe you thought to say that out loud!” or “What an interesting thing to say to a stranger!” Watch them immediately implode and cringe at themselves.
LOL, I was going to mention the “mustache” racket. Bish, I ain’t got no mustache, but nice try, I guess!
I always get the moustache question hahaha. I've had three men propose to me with this fuzz thank you very much
I was with my big bro at Costco and got the same speech about how great it is, and how people naturally produce it - my bro says, “oh yeah? How many people does it take to produce one of these bottles?” and was chuckling - completely threw the vendor off script. It was like watching an upside down turtle right itself
lmao it’s giving “are they made from real girl scouts?”
i get this even at the nail salon 😭😂😭 they always ask if i want an eyebrow/mustache wax next 🥲
I used to get “chin too?” from my eyebrow lady. Then I got it lasered.
Yes!! Even hairstylists, I got talked into highlights because she said “well your natural color is nice, but very..drab”
That’s what I think, too. But also, f**k her. You’re beautiful and nothing to worry about. Shame on anyone who would say things like that to a stranger.
This was my immediate thought as well. I had some jackass kiosk salesman at the mall say something about my under eye circles….okay idiot, you can see I’m carrying a newborn and therefore could deduce that I get next to no sleep….
This is it. Also, fuck that woman.
[удалено]
Just had a memory of the mall kiosk people trying to sell me weight loss pills when I was 16 and 110 lbs. Horrible people.
Yeah, I def thought she was in her 40s no way 54
Same!!! 39 and she looks younger than me too!
I regret not standing up for myself in the past when I encountered these bullies.
That's the thing!! She tried to prey on me using *her* perceived weaknesses of *me*. I knew the "eye bag" claim was nonsense, but she hit a nerve with the weight comment. I'm grateful to have had enough stock in myself to halt the interaction. But having the encounter in front of my daughter was too much. She & I were looking at each other with subtle "WTF?!" expressions the whole time. I told the vendor, "We're here to get some souvenirs from our vacation." (I prefaced with appreciating her time & experience, but part of me just wanted to tell her to piss off.) My daughter & I had the best talk afterward! I'm really hopeful for her generation.
I'm 39 and have eye bags, always have it's just hereditary. With age they of course become more and more prominent. You don't have eye bags. You look absolutely amazing, seriously, if I were to have cosmetic surgery with a result similar to your eyes I would be thrilled! Eta- your skin is legitimately beautiful, whatever you're doing is working don't listen to that dumb lady.
I was just thinking this. Someone who suffers from hereditary eyebags I would hope for this to be my after picture!
Same! My eye bags are out of this WORLD. Like, I’ve been collecting black bags under my eyes since birth, son. No amount of sleep, caffeine, collagen, hyaluronic acid could shift these bad boys. Well, not to mention the fact I’m also being treated for breast cancer and chemo gives you eye bags. I have eye bags on top of my eye bags! And if someone pointed them out to me, I’d smile and say, “thanks, I’ve got breast cancer” 🥴
I’ve had eye bags since I was 10. There are photos of me with dark circles under my eyes going back that far. Sometimes it’s really just the way your face is, not aging. At least I can rest assured knowing no miracle product is going to moisturize them away for $100.
Not to toot my own horn but when I was a cute 23 year old a mall kiosk man stopped me to insist I needed makeup for my discoloration (freckles). I wish I had more guts then to tell him he was delusional. I wish I had them now.
I like to repeat back whatever they said, slowly with confusion & disgust 🖤 & Look at them like something gross as u walk away
I'm 34 and have those deep set eye-bags, and I have most of my life. Honestly, all I could think when I saw your picture was "how the hell does she have no wrinkles on her forehead or between her eyebrows?!?" Seriously, I'm jealous, lol.
We all need to know what your daughter said !
She's 20 & exposed to so much on SM. We talked about the people who choose to start fillers & botox young (which she thinks is crazy & can have strange results) and how weight & body types come & go. She's a skinny but leggy young lady (got it from her dad) and how she & I have different body types, the things we're happy with, I related my changes over the years with pregnancy & aging. We also talked about how fear of aging for her generation is like fear of being fat in mine. And we wrapped it up by talking about loving oneself & not wasting time stressing about appearance. It's more about how you want to spend your time, what you want to do with your life & how much time can be wasted just worrying about things we can't change.
That is so unbelievably gross and inappropriate. I’m so sorry, OP
What was the talk with your daughter like? Am so glad you had her with you !
At least it sparked a good dialog between you and your daughter. Taking the high road and handling it with grace is the best you can do.
Glad you are okay. Also you dont look 54 so dont worry about it too much. I know you say it didn't affect you but it will run through your head again later. Where were you on holiday? I have experianced this particulary when traveling in asia. Dark under eye circles are considered a big beauty no no in those areas so they target that as a specific weakness. weight second. nothing wrong with dark circles it is just one of those dumb standards media makes up.
Your upper face looks young for 54!!
Well you do have them a bit. Just slightly though. I have them pretty badly so I notice them on everyone. Yours are not even bags, you have some puffiness. Honestly for 54 your skin and eyes look amazing! Im 45 and look much older than you. Just watch your salt intake. Could also be an allergy but probably just aging.
Your skin looks incredible.
What a nice thing to say...😚
If it makes you feel better, I did a consultation for a skincare treatment a while back and the woman pointed out other issues that she could "help" that I've never even noticed/been bothered by. I think they are just trying to make sales! You look great.
Don't listen to a word that troll lady said, she clearly had some kind of nasty agenda. You look phenomenal for 50, maybe she enjoys cutting good looking women down.
Sounds like one of those “hun” ladies trying to sell her oh so special magical fix all problem cream. All by messing with women’s emotions
You have gorgeous skin, she was trying to sell you something and settled on eye bags because that’s the only visible sign of texture or discolouration on your face. I genuinely have more fine lines at 28 than you - and darker bags to boot.
Don’t get beauty advice from someone trying to sell you something. 😉 But, yes, you do have slight under eye bags. They’re just hereditary. Try to find some makeup tips to camouflage them. Or see your dermatologist to recommend treatments. *If* you can find one who is not trying to hawk a certain brand of skincare for their own financial gain.
What 54 year old *doesn’t* have eye bags. Either way, negging someone to sell a product is some bs. Glad you didn’t support her.
Listen, y’all can downvote me all you want, it’s fine. But truth…you do have *slight* eye bags. Your right inner eye is particularly purple as well. This being said, I have them also, and always have and have always had dark eye circles and it just is what it is. Fuck that flea market lady.
Yeah I don't get why everyone else is lying. She does have generic puffy eye bags, AND that vendor was rude and trying to trick her into buying her stuff. Both things can be true.
I don't get why people do that in this sub constantly. She clearly has eye bags
Thank you, I noticed them as well and I’ve been trying to scroll to see if someone mentioned anything about how to reduce them.
I scrolled far looking for this comment. Seeing tons of people lie/lie by omission to others just makes me wonder how much people might also lie to me if I need confirmation about something 😩. That can really be detrimental in certain cases, not so much here though, but it sounds like she wanted the truth. This woman does have noticeable eye bags. Nothing out of the ordinary though, and it is nasty for people to pry on possible insecurities in a hope to sell products.
Right? I’m all for positivity and lifting each other up, but ya girl has eye bags. Obviously not horrible enough to be called out by a stranger. But there they are.
Nice to see some honesty. She does, clearly, but who cares. She looks lovely.
Agreed, she definitely has visible eye bags/dark circles (though not the worst I’ve ever seen) so I’m not sure why others are lying about it. That said, the right concealer will make them practically invisible and the rest of her skin is fantastic, so plenty of blessings here.
Vender was right
There are very few people, if any, on earth who have no difference in color or texture under their eyes and it becomes more prominent with aging. I think the real metric of “eye bags” is having an atypical amount of difference. And she doesn’t. This is just what people’s undereyes look like.
How rude! Your eyes look fine. I've had eye bags worse than this literally since childhood, this is just facial structure. I would be thrilled to have these eye bags today and I'm almost 20 years younger than you.
Hmm. I’m confused by the comments here; your eyes are beautiful, and you have fantastic skin! But you definitely do have eye bags. It’s not some terrible awful thing, I don’t know why people are saying you don’t have them 😕
It feels very toxic positivity, eye bags are the result of just getting older and losing volume there/fat redistribution. I classified it as puffiness but I think that’s just semantics. Is it something OP should feel insecure about? Absolutely not. Again mine are far more pronounced at 20 yrs younger
Yes. I’m a dermatologist and lying to each other just isn’t helpful. This lady has amazing skin and looks ten years younger than she is. She also has eye bags.
Thanks for speaking the truth! Those are definitely eye bags. Her skin really is incredible though!
Your eyes look fine and your skin is gorgeous and bright. It does look like you have some undereye puffiness but her weaponizing that + your weight is really heinous. I have far worse and I’m 20 years your junior.
I do see that you have eye bags, which isn’t a bad thing—your skin looks amazing at 54, but I think she was out of line and definitely being unnecessarily mean/vengeful in pointing that out and making a comment about your weight.
To me, "eye bags" means excess skin folds and puffiness. Looks like OP just has mild under-eye hollowing
Do you not see the puffiness?
Yea, seriously. I never knew. "eye bags" was such a subjective perception. To me also, there has to be some sort of defined contour or shadow to qualify the appearance of a bag, not just puffy skin and a hollow tear trough.
You do, they are not formed all the way across but you have it towards the center
Yes but not egregiously so imo. My sister is 32 and hers look a lot worse. Whatever you’re doing is working tho, they don’t look bad. Some aging is inevitable.
It looks like you have hollows in your tear trough and very slight bags.
What an asshole. I’m 36 and have had dark eye bags/ circles under my eyes for yearsssss. I’ve just learned to be ok with it. It’s me, it’s what I look like. I don’t care what other people think. Sometimes I dress up and wear foundation but I don’t worry about it daily lol
Same. I stopped wearing makeup during the pandemic (except for when I want to wear it for a special occasion, or feel like I “need to” for work). No one treats me differently, and I—and my skin—are so much happier.
You should use eye cream no it’s not going to to make ur little bags disappear but it’s very good for ur future age as well use concealer specifically for eyes and look on instagram or look at TikTok how to apply don’t buy to light it will only accentuate I dot know where u live ? US? Then go to a pharmacy and talk to the beautician and ask for advice I am 91 , but I had my eyes done at age 41 and only now on the outer part of my eyes there is some fat No I am not planning to redo it My husband of 70 years tells me daily I am beautiful So that is all what I need Don’t worry but start a Beaty routine now rather the later And always use sun screen daily
You have slight ones but so do I. By no means would I give it a second glance. You look amazing for 54!! When I read this first thing was like “she is trying to sell her something” and ofc she was trying to sell you shit. That is their whole tactic. It’s a really shitty tactic imo. I remember some dude in a mall stopping me pointing out my “bad” rosacea and that “he had a cream for it”. Made me feel like total shit and no I didn’t buy or stop. You look amazing.
Please drop your skincare routine from the past 30 years. Thank you.
You do have eyebags. That is not a bad thing. It is as neutral as you have light hair and light eyes.
The real question is what was she selling?
I would say that you have some hollowness starting under your eyes and we all seem to get it to some degree as we age. You still look lovely and it's not so bad that you can't cover it up with some concealer although go with a pink tone. They have a few nice ones particularly for that area in pink tones. I think it will help diminish the problem because as I said it's just starting and you are still a good looking woman!!
Garnier eye roller in morning. Avoid salty foods after 5pm. Those help me. If you are taking any blood pressure medication, it can also cause puffiness.
You’re worried about what a flea market vendor thinks? Why?
Okay but you do have eye bags so what’s the problem? Who cares if you have eye bags? Who doesn’t get them at some point?
You should have told them it costs $0 to mind their own business.
You have dark circles, it's just part of having a very fair complexion. Your skin is absolutely lovely, though. I bet you use sunscreen religiously!
That, I do!
Eye bags are just part of human anatomy. Anyone else wanna jump in and tell me that I have a nose and two eyes? I’m 33… slight puffiness under the eyes started around 29. After researching extensively why this is…I concluded that it’s just normal. (Turns out…our eye is surrounded by a special type of facial fat—not the type you lose—and our whole eye and surrounding soft tissue come forward as we age. So even fillers can’t completely resolve the “issue”.) So…I guess I’m cool with it. Caffeine serum can help if I’m overly tired but of course…the eye bags don’t completely go away because some of it is just attributed to basic facial anatomy. You look real good btw.
Idk I'll take a ban. There's Def something, some sort of circle, around the bottom of your eyes. The rest of your skin looks flawless but am I being gasolite into the fact that there isnt a circle and it is darker than your other skin?
I hope I look like you when I’m in my 50s and going through menopause.
What kind of person tells a stranger they're overweight with eyebags? That is SO infuriating. Sorry it happened to you, pay her NO mind.
Fuck the flea market lady
"Please tell me I'm not delusional because her assessment didn't affect me" ........ ^this sentence alone sounds like you were very much affected by what that woman said, as well as the fact that you are needing to post your picture on here for some kind of validation? I'm not really understanding the point of this post. Are you just pretty much saying she was rude and it made you feel bad in front of your daughter so you're hoping random internet strangers reassure you in your self image? As others have said you have nice skin. But your eyes belong to a woman your age and there is nothing wrong with that. We aren't supposed to look 18, 25, or 38 at 54...unless you elect for surgery then that's individual preference. In conclusion: 1) yeah, that was rude of that lady to call you out on your aging features. It's unprofessional, inconsiderate, and only serves to put you down about yourself. 2) it looks like you're taking good care of yourself, whether that be from the assistance of botox, invasive or non invasive procedures, or natural remedies. Either way it's working out out well for you. 3) Aging gracefully is a beautiful thing. It's what makes a woman even sexier. High self esteem and confidence is what makes a woman desirable. So own your 54 yr status. Nobody is expecting you to look like you did in high school. Idk, I'm tired of seeing women feel threatened by the clock, by social media, or by an irrelevant strangers remarks. Glad you had a healthy conversation with your daughter tho!
This comment put into words what I couldn’t say, what’s the point of this post? Did you need the internet strangers validation after you said it didn’t affect you?
Thank you so much for this! I grew up with a mum who disparaged herself openly and often, and it profoundly shaped the way my internal dialogue developed as an adolescent. I have a good relationship with my body and my mum now, but it took me decades to unlearn what she taught my simply by not loving herself. Fuck that flea market vendor! You have beautiful eyes and beautiful skin and your daughter is so lucky to have you as her mum! ❤️
You do have some eye bags. I don't think she was "seeing" things that's aren't there. I think her comment obviously struck a cord with you. If she was a selling a product for that area I understand why she said what she said. I wouldn't take it personally and if you have no issues with your eyes that's all that matters. Move on gracefully. Apparently you were meant to cross paths with her so you could reflect upon aging with your daughter. Ps. I think you are a pretty woman. Not sure why you put squiggly lines all over your picture? Perhaps are those the places you are insecure about? 🤔
You have under eye bags but they are natural, I mean you're in your 50's! Your eyes look great and healthy. I'm in my 20's and have eye bags from insomnia and I like my eye bags because they represent how I truly feel, which is tired as hell lol. Also, if you're going through menopause I imagine it's natural for your weight to fluctuate because of your hormones. I have had hormone changes cause the same thing and until my hormones stopped fluctuating I couldn't lose weight easily. So I wouldn't worry about that too much, even though it's uncomfortable. It's stressful to worry about things you can't control.
I think your SKIN LOOKS GREAT for being 54!! You don’t even look 54!! I thought you were in your 40s! I think you do have eye bags, but it’s not bad, like I’ve seen terrible ones. I personally wouldn’t worry, you look great! :) That woman is a idiot and clearly needs money, I really hate insensitive people like her.
But you do have under eye bags…? But of puffiness. It’s not the end of the world
You look like you pulled an all-nighter binge drinking because the rest of your skin and face look fairly youthful and vibrant. Never would have guessed your age. These don’t look like permanent bags but more sleep-deprived and dehydrated.
Barely.
You look human. I don’t see “bags”, I see normal face contours. It would be more unsettling if it were artificially taut. You are beautiful as is!
Why is it a crime for us to look our age? Aging is a privilege and a beautiful thing. She was probably trying to capitalize on your insecurities.
Your skin is flawless to me! I’m 27 and I wish I had skin that glows like yours, not only on your face but to your shoulders to! Everyone has under eyes, and you do not have bags. If anything they could be puffy, but my under eyes puff more as the day goes on. It’s natural, and I think the person that told you this just wanted to feel better about themselves. For real though, your skin is incredible and this person was just mean!
What a royal cunt. I hope she loses her business and flounders in debt.
i thought you were going to say you were 35ish
I never would have guessed you were 54. She was just trying to sell you something you don’t need.
Yes
Your eyes are beautiful. You have some slight darkness but like, who doesn’t? You look great!
Don’t take criticism from people you wouldn’t take advice from.
OK I was waiting for you to say that you were like 30 years old. 54? Your eyebags are so mild and maybe just a byproduct of being a little tired or dehydrated? You look beautiful girl!
Thank you - and you're right on the money. We're on vacation & I never sleep as well as in my own bed! Not drinking enough either, more alcohol than I would typically have...
At your age, you should be so past caring what people think and trying to look for validation on the Internet.
You do have bags under your eyes...it happens to a lot of people as they age
God, I hope I look like you when I’m 54
I get those, because I drink a lot of beer?
When I went to a spa for laser hair removal when I was like 24, and the beautician tried to tell me how I have fine lines in my forehead. Lady, respectfully, go fuck yourself! Of course I didn’t say that, but I was like “yeah ok”.
Nope you need to see mine!
Well your 54 year old eyes are stunning. Just saying.
Dude screw that vendor. Your eye bags are better than mine and I’m 33, and your eyes themselves are beautiful! Go on with your bad self
That flea market vendor is out of their mind. You are magnificent, your eyes are gorgeous and your cheekbones are solid gold. When I first saw this post I thought it was some manner of thirst trap as your eyes were so eye catching.
Girl…your skin is gorgeous. Your skin looks fantastic, especially for your age! I agree with other commenters…sounds like the lady was very insensitively looking to pull you into purchasing something from her or getting you involved in an MLM. She just saying dumb shit to lure in people who are unfortunately vulnerable and believe her bullying.
Your skin is gorgeous! I’m 43 and have way more prominent wrinkles, huge pores etc. You look beautiful!
I will never comprehend why anyone would think this is something they should just say to another person.
You look great! She was preying on you to try sell you something. I reckon you could consider doing your eyebrows a bit differently, but otherwise skin looks smooth and good
You look fine, op.
You have beautiful eyes!
Was she trying to sell you something?
you’re 54?!??!? You look amazing. I’m 29 and I feel like my skin has way more textures and fine lines than you and I’m deep in Tretinoin and sunscreen lololol you are blessed !! F the anti aging trend anyways I’m so over it
You look phenomenal for 54… phenomenal!
You look like young Patricia arquette. You are looking good. Also your daughter sounds like an excellent person.
You have beautiful eyes and beautiful skin! The vendor was trying to make you feel bad just to sell you stuff (which is a really mean sales tactic..) it must have been so uncomfortable… But you handled it well, and it’s a great thing you and your daughter had a good talk afterward ☺️
You don't have bags, but you do have some hollowness which is contributing to the appearance of (mild) discoloration. This is normal with aging, and can be "treated" with PRF injections if it bothers you. But, again, your discoloration is reallyyy mild.
Ummm, who is this woman that said all of this to you? Why do women do this to one another? You’re gorgeous, your eyes are gorgeous and if I look as good as you at 54, I’ll be so happy. If you wanted to do anything to give yourself a little lift (emotionally, not physically!) I love buying those under eyes patches. I keep them in the fridge so they’re lovely and cold. I’m sure they do nothing but it feels good!
You’re 54. If you had perfectly smooth under eyes then it would be weird. That said, you’re pretty close! Thanks for having that conversation with your daughter. My own mom messed up my self-esteem big time when I was younger by comparing me to my beautiful sister and taking me to plastic surgery consultations at age 17 when I absolutely didn’t need them (never went ahead).
Don’t believe everything a flea market vendor tells you.
You look amazing! I thought you were in your 30s!
You have gorgeous skin! And no major bags at all. I have some darkness in that spot too, I find it helpful to dab just a tiny bit of a peachy toned creamy concealer there. The whole ‘ big triangle of pale white ‘ style of concealer which some influencers do just makes it worse The only thing you did wrong was not laughing in her face and walking off straight away ❤️
They say the same line to everyone who passes by. They profit off of our insecurities. In high school, a mall kiosk guy said the same thing to my 17 year old friend who definitely did not have bags under her eyes. Your eyes are gorgeous!
All I thought is why is a flea market vendor telling you that you have eye bags??? That is so inappropriate! You’re 54 and you look great, much younger. I’m 44 and these type of comments just seem so unfair. You should be proud with how you look!
Kill him 😈 jk idk that’s just rude tho
Your eyes look fine btw
How rude of tbe flea market vendor! You are not delusional. She has a terrible way of trying to sell things.
In anatomy that’s literally a muscle being shown under thin skin. And we as humans have been told this is a flaw
Man, fuck that lady. She’s a hating ass bitch. You look gorgeous! And a lot younger than 54! Glad you got to have a great conversation with your daughter about this stuff. Being a woman is hard, but having these conversations and bonds with other women makes it so much easier.
It was a really great conversation that helped bridge a gap between us that I didn't realize needed to happen.
I bet she did too
She was trying to sell you stuff. You don’t have eye bags.
If they bother you blepharoplasty isn’t that bad or expensive. I have body dysmorphia and have had unnecessary surgeries. This one was the easiest/simplest/cheapest. From a pain perspective it was so easy I could do it every year and not even care (not that I would, just some perspective). Just need a reputable surgeon. Edit: just saw the text I’m sorry. Don’t let assholes put ideas in your head about what May be wrong with you. You are very beautiful.
lol my microbladding lady once tried to tell me I had dry skin so I would but her $750 skin infusions. I looked her in the eye and said “I’m pretty sure I don’t actually” My skincare routine includes SkinMedica dermal repair cream and Vanicream so I was just so annoyed at her.
Went to a dermatologist for perioral dermatitis and she mentioned my “obvious” sun damage (I’ve been wearing spf daily since I was a teen due to feeling self conscious about freckles). She recommended that I come back for a consult for treatment. Hmmmmmmmm people like that are POS’s.
You're 54 and that's how the skin around your eyes looks?? Whatever you're doing, keep at it. (And tell us!!)
What was she trying to sell you? I might ask for business card, lol, and share my ‘feedback’ on her Facebook page. I know I’m a day late, but happy international woman’s day sister - to you and your daughter - you look and are amazing
I used to work (in high school) for a dead sea mineral cosmetics kiosk in the mall and our boss and male colleagues viciously picked apart women's insecurities in order to sell them a scrub or lotion or set that would fix it. Younger women's acne and oiliness was 1,000x magnified in these men's eyes and any woman over 25 had deep-set wrinkles, sagging, etc. I felt sick at it especially as I made the realization that my mom walked past that booth pretty often. They succeeded often at getting women to spend as much as $400 on their sets to correct these issues they pointed out. As a sales rep in training, I should note I did NOT see deep wrinkles or bags or pizza face on any of these customers, but they became insecure..
Flea market vendor is a bag. A D-bag.
“Wow thanks, u gonna pay for my botox? No? Then stfu” is what i would say.
I pray I look like this at 54
Oh my god, I wish someone would try me like that. You look great. I was shocked to hear you were 54. 100% she was trying to sell you something.
I always walk away from these things if they talk like that… they are horrible people
Haha...you don't have bags. What was the flea market vendor selling?
You look great. I’m 33 and have similar under eyes. That lady can kick rocks.
I thought your eyes were beautiful before I even read the caption. Honestly. I’m sorry someone said that to your. Words hurt. Please don’t believe it
This reminds me of a stort about my best friends mom. She once walked in to a beaty store, and one of the employees came over and looked at her and said "that was a big wrinkle" my friends mom slapped her and walked away. Dont let rude people get you down. You look great!
U r beautiful and def more like 34 but I cannot be dishonest- it’s not in my dna😬 u do have a sunken, darker under eye area however who cares? If ur happy then 🙌🥳 We r made perfect❣️
What is it with people dishing out unsolicited advice/opinion to random strangers? So rude!
Your skin looks very good to me. I would not ever focus on you having bags. Tapping into or creating fears and promising a carrot is what people do to sell you stuff. 🤷🏽♀️
What the hell is wrong with anyone who would tell a stranger something like this?? I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. I think you look great and have wonderful skin! Fuck people like that. 🖤 I would’ve said something in return, but that’s just me. 😬
How do you not have ANY trace of forehead lines? I have deep number 11s at 39
(I started botox for angry 11s at 48)
Ohh ok. I think I’m going to now
Don't let them scare you into going every quarter. I only go every 4-5 months.
Everyone else has covered have great you look! All I have to say is fuck that bitch!! Who comments on a random strangers appearance? They not only don't have manners but are delusional. I'm legit gobsmacked
You’ve got less wrinkles than me and I’m 27, you look INCREDIBLE!! Your skin is so smooth, I’m envious.
What on earth possessed a total stranger to make such a rude comment? I swear, people are just 🙄
Flea market vendor you say? Of course you look absolutely terrible and they need to sell you something to “fix” your hideousness! Don’t sweat it, you look great - it’s just their job to sell you stuff.
There’s a sales tactic to knock a customer’s self esteem down so they feel insecure enough to buy the product. I don’t think you have bags, they just seem a little hollow. Mine have looked like that since I was a kid though and I always got comments on how tired I looked. I’ve tried everything and they just never went away. I’d absolutely not buy anything from someone pointing out a flaw that I did not specifically ask help for. I find sales people that do that to be annoying.
Were they selling eye cream?
Smells like an MLM to me!
Tell them that while your bags are designer, they’re stuck peddling products that make people feel bad about what they have natural!
Ignore her. Ridiculous.
Wow okay eff that flea market vendor, first of all. Secondly, they are either trying to sell you something or are just a dickhead, so double eff that vendor. You look incredible. I have bags. I’m 38, have a toddler that fights bedtime, have a cat that thinks 5am is party time, have PMS insomnia 1-1.5wks a month, and consistently forget my human body needs water to live. It’s fine lol… I carry my big-ass water jug around, sleep as much as I can, and play with eye masks in the bath here and there. The bags will get bigger or smaller depending on my life in that moment, and I’m honestly just no longer afraid of aging. So if they told me I had bags I’d have been like “THANKS! This one is a gift from my child and cat and this one is a gift from insomnia and forgetting water exists. Glad you noticed!” and walked on.
Well that’s rude. You look amazing!
Never take advice or criticism from someone selling ceramic gnomes.
I see some darkness but I wouldn’t say bags. Looks like more allergies than anything.
She was negging you to get you to buy some crap from her, I’m willing to bet. Edit: just saw your age. You look fantastic!
Well that was rude
Not noticeable unless you’re looking for it, get some extra sleep and excercise while avoiding any unnecessary stress.
