#3 is my all time peeve! I can appreciate a little shrink band for hygenic purposes but people-proof packaging is ridiculous! I have actually cut my hand trying to open some products! So annoying and soooo not necessary in my opinion.

Oh, #4 is one of my biggest peeves. I hate lipstick that smells and taste like a stick of perfume. I don't think the makeup manufacturers get the notion that no one wants perfume on their lips - yet so many brands add fragrance to their lipsticks or lipgloss.

I have been known to refuse to buy a product simply because it came in one of those thick plastic wrappers that you practically have to take an axe to it to get it open.

My latest peeve has also been all those drugstore mineral makeup lines with their own brush. They tend to make the container so that it works well only with the cheap product brush and not big enough to put a real brush in! Revlon's is one good example.
