Hello Beauties, we've noticed the amount of new Beautylish members here which is wonderful.This is a bit of info for the NEW & Classic's members. Please keep up with your threads,this helps prevent them from getting lost in the mix of other threads down the rabbit hole.

Please show Courtesy and reply with Thank You. Members take the time to help out on a thread and that's the least you can do. :)
This will also help your thread from being ignored by members who have noticed you don't go back to respond on threads you post or say Thank you.


If you have multiple question's Please feel free to type all question's on ONE thread instead of making 4 threads scattered and can't keep up with.


Stay Beautiful and remember a Gracious Spirit is the Best form of Beauty. :)

Thank you for posting this. I, too, sometimes feel a bit butt hurt for trying to help and gotten a no response back :(

I think it's awesome that you're addressing this because it makes members want to continue to offer help!

Alma thank you for once again addressing this subject. Let's hope that it will make an impact this time!

Thanks ladies :) Let's hope this will help encourage all to be more active on threads and be polite. I feel as though there is also a lack of conversation on threads, no one really takes the time to know each other here YET we all see each other on a daily on this site.Strange right?
Jackie I think it would be great to make just one thread with info about those same subjects that are repeated on a daily. I would also like people to be more honest on threads and admit not to know everything and be willing to learn. Beauty is a subject that is never ending so why not try to soak up as much info as they can.

Livi I hear you, it takes time to be able and try to help or find a solution for someone and give feed back. They could easily get ignored or told to look it up on google but as a beauty community I think it's great that this is a outlet for most to come and ask anything beauty related; Heck! I think most are lucky since this is a free site lol what most share from a Beauty business point could easily be charging for feed back or insight from a MUA or Cosmetologist or Esthetician.

Beauty enthusiast should feel like this is a place for all avenues and can be able to open up and learn from the masses of different Beauty experts and other Enthusiast.

Sabrina it would be great to make a impact and if anything read this all and think about it.:)


Look at my thread now,if this were a MOTD of highlight contour thread it would be poppin lol but sadly communication only goes as far as saying Cute! Stunning! OMG SLAYYYYY!!! Yaaaasssssss! Highlight ON POINT! Brows on FLEEK!!

Humor we need more of it :)

Great thread alma, a thank you or response is great to get when people make threads I have offered my help sometimes going as far as offering to swatch and show the product and I never get a answer and it irritates me and I never answer a thread by that person again I'm not saying that person needs to accept my help but let people know, no thats fine thank you or yes please are great thinkgs to read when someone is offering you help.

I'm glad this opened up a convo and thank you ladies for taking the time to comment. :)

I have been noticing this so much and it's nice to see I'm not the only one lol. I always go back and check what's happening with threads I have commented on and it can get frustrating when I realize I seem to bother more than the OP. it's not that I can give any amazing advice at all really but I always think it would be nice to see what happens with the little bit of advice I do give...so it would be nice if I recommend a product the person would come back and say whether they got it and if they enjoy it- even if they think I gave bad advice it would just be nice to know so I can learn from it too, but unfortunately the majority of threads are only being commented on for maybe 2 days and then it's all done which I think is a bit of a shame.

Jacqueline you addressed a point that I have to say really surprised me- I always say "thank you in advance", simply because I think it is a nice way of closing a post and showing my appreciation but I would still always come back and say thank you again. your point of view really does make sense though, I think I might stop doing that now, I hadn't realised how misunderstood it can be, in fact I made a little thread a couple days ago closing it with those words but no one ever answered, so I might give that another try with better wording. :)

Thank you Deborah for your feed back. It's good to know other's do notice this as well because that really shows it is a on going issue that needs to be fixed. :)

I've been waiting for this to come up and I'm so glad it did!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽

Lol Thanks Elica I guess you noticed all that stuff too.:)

I too often say "thanks in advance" like Deborah, I didn't even think about how it could be taken as an excuse to be non-responsive!

I'm glad you said something though, Jackie. Maybe we can all brainstorm new ways to end a thread... "I look forward to your responses!"?? Or is that overly formal? Hmm...

But I'm glad this was brought up again Alma. I know I always try my best to respond to threads where people have engaged with me. I do often decide to not comment on a thread if I see there are a few responses and the thread author hasn't returned to say thank you. Honestly we all want our threads answered, and I think the best way to do that is to be active on them!

May 5, 2016

Alma M.

Absolutely right Jamie staying active on the threads will help bring in the traffic for great feed back and conversation. Brainstorming a new way to get attention on threads is a good idea maybe Jackie can help us with that or anyone have suggestions?

Maybe we can always go back to those threads that are abandoned by the author and just say your welcome and thanks to all that took the time to comment on so and so thread Lol ;)

May 5, 2016

Deborah S.

I have so many times taken great advice from abandoned threads and even though I wanted to say thank you and maybe ask something further I usually never did so because I didn't want to "take over" someone else's thread. now I see how that was the wrong way of approach, so thank you for bringing up the "saying thank you on an abandoned thread", that is a great idea and I will definitely try to do that in the future. :)

If this were a Facebook post or Twitter thing I would like a retweet this a million times! I'm one of those people that always checks up on threads I post on through the "following" tab - and I only comment on things if there aren't enough answers and I even try to go out of my way to search for threads that have zero responses because I've been in that position when no one responds and it's kind of disheartening when you have an honest question that no one feels like answering - but then you see the threads surrounding yours with a bunch of responses - so I think it would be nice if we could all just be a little more courteous and understanding of each other - myself included because I know I'm guilty of doing the whole "I'm right you're wrong" thing and I know I need to work on it and I'm definitely trying to keep in mind that this forum is all about opinions and everyone is entitled to theirs - but I don't like seeing people respond with "don't do what that person said because x.." Like why do people feel the need to do that? If someone is asking for suggestions we all have a right to give our suggestions and if you don't agree with it then that's fine - but you also don't have to belittle someone else's opinion just because you don't agree with it - I know I can be guilty of this too at times and I think it's something we all can work on to make this forum that much better :)

This is an excellent post! As a former teacher, I believe in modeling the behavior you wish to see. I also try very often to give people a break for their lack of a thank you, because there could be factors that kept them from replying promptly. That said, when it happens numerous times and I see that person is active in other threads, I don't waste my time anymore. I'm here to learn, to boost and encourage one another, not to be an "empty yes girl" in someone's online "squad". /end rant. lol

Overall, I think the members are beautiful, supportive and extremely helpful. I've learned so much from you and than you.

Alma M.

I appreciate this type of open honesty, thank you ladies. I think it's ok to ask question's on a thread if it's related to the subject of the thread or if someone suggested anything you may be curious about. This is what the talk forums is for, the more info and conversation on a thread the better. I do understand some may get caught up in life and get back to threads late but those I see make thread's and then go on other threads without going back to their own without any further dialog is pretty sad. Why make a thread you can't attend too? I also want to point out like mentioned above we can always agree to disagree without getting into Heated debate. I much rather hear reasoning for pros & Cons for a eye opening information that makes us think.

I've notice since making this thread a few members have went back to their own threads and said thank you to all that took the time to respond so that is a great start. I'm hoping this will continue and that everyone understands why everything was said. :)

You ladies have humor I like that. :) no more ghost members or Yes girls or squads lol

I am so happy someone made this thread. I am unfortunately guilty of not responding once. There was one I made about blackhead removal and I completely forgot about it. Now, I feel so sorry that I didn't get to thank anyone for the help you gave me. So thank you to the people who helped me. And I am very sorry for not responding. I will put in more effort to make sure I don't forget about the posts I make. :)

I love this thread! I always try so hard to be active on threads (whether they are my own or not!) but it seems that I'm sometimes more active than the OP! Love the idea of a consistent thread for a certain topic, think that'd really help as there'd be answers in one place. I think we should encourage putting MOTD threads (not the ones like Alexis make where they list how they did everything in detail - love it by the way Alexis!) but the ones where they just have a list of products and a photo. Also, I think we should encourage the use of the search function! Many threads could be answered using that.
I've seen recently that there are many threads, stuff like 'can you find me some summery outfits'. Stuff like that can be found on Google and Pinterest but people don't seem to look for answers elsewhere before making threads like that. I find a lot of people don't put a lot of effort into their threads either, I've spent many an hour of active searching online for an answer or answers for them. But I love Beautylish and the whole community, I've been here since 2013 and it's changed so much, but it's still fab! I've got so much love and respect for all of you

May 5, 2016

Diana T.

Yessss! The search function I feel like is so under rated and I feel like people rarely use it - but I know it's been known to bring up really old threads (like it used to bring up threads that were years old) but hopefully that's been fixed since it seems like older threads are getting deleted - but yea if people would search for a topic before posting the exact same one then a lot of their questions would be answered much quicker and it would save some of us "classic" members from repeating ourselves all the time :P.
