Will she shut up if I send her a gift card?

Is she absolutely certain she left it at your house? Did you actually see it there? Perhaps she accidentally left it somewhere else, but thinks the last place she saw it was when she was at your place. Maybe you should suggest that she do a deep look at her own place and it will magically pop up!

Is this a joke?? I can't imagine being the person who is nudging you about a damn make-up bag this persistently! I would love to call her on it and find out what the real story is (ie what's really in the bag).

Be honest, tell her you can't find it, and offer to replace the cost. Done.

This.

I wonder what else is in that make up bag?

why should she offer to replace the cost? OP didn't lose it, the friend did.

About 10 years ago I left my Trish McEvoy make-up bag at a dump hotel in my college town. I asked the housekeeping if they'd found it and they said no, so I sent a friend who lived in the town to give the housekeeping $50 if they could find it. The makeup (actually the brushes) itself was worth about $700.
All I'm saying is, maybe the makeup was expensive. I'd hate to have to replace all my makeup and expensive brushes at once.

Wow, $700!!?? Unless you are a professional make-up artist, methinks you need to step away from the cosmetic counter stat!

I mean, she calls, presumably a day or two after leaving your house and says it's missing. Don't you immediately go and look for it and call and let her know that it is or isnt there? I think you kept stand used her stuff and she's pissed. Perhaps you owe her a gift card?

I'm not sure inunderstand what you're saying...

She spent the weekend at my place and left on Monday morning. I left the country that same day and came back 3 weeks later. She learned I was back in town and called me.

I was already pregnant and could not wear anything. When she called I had just started packing and told her I'd let her know if I found it. I didn't find it and she keeps asking me if I found it.

Now that I have a FB page she keeps poking me and sending messages, commenting in the pictures asking about it. It's so annoying! I Judt want her to stop!

Not making a lot of sense.

You left town for three weeks, but when you came back, why couldn't you go look in the guest room and see if her bag was there?

And what does the fact that you were pregnant and couldn't waer anything mean? You were naked so you couldn't look for her makeup bag?

So you think maybe you had already started packing up the guest rom and accidentally packed up her bag, too? And now it is a year later and she wants to know if you have unpacked it?

Call her and tell her if she wants she can come visit, and help you unpack, as you are going through a lot of trauma with your baby's diagnosis and aren't able to get to it. If it's drugs she has in the bag she'll hop on the next plane or bus and come help you.

If she had really left it at your house you would have found it. Tell her it's gone and she needs to move on. Then change your phone number, she's nuts.

And block her from Facebook.

OP here... you guys got me thinking now... maybe there is really something else there... hm...

And to PP above me here, I mentioned that I could not have used up her make up because the other PP insinuated I used up my friend's stuff.

I had help packing so I was not the one packing the guest room or the bathroom she used.

Anyway, next time she calls I'll say I'm done unpacking and didn't find it and ask her to look elsewhere.

But what will you do when you really do finish unpacking and find it?! Find the secret compartment with the cocaine and sniff it yourself.

The friend didn't "lose" it, she left it by accident and trusted that the friend would be responsible enough to return it.

I figured that she meant that since none of her clothes fit her, she started packing everything even though the move was some time away, which plunged the house into chaos. I moved at 7 months pregnant but started packing at 3 months, boxing everything as I outgrew it.

If you ever have the opportunity, check out the Trish brushes made from blue squirrel hair. They are so soft. And I'm still using them 12 years after purchase. Good investment pieces.
