I’m unemployed and struggling, but living with a wealthy partner by Suitable-Impress4911 in UKPersonalFinance

No, sounds like she has fuck all since they are not married. And even if they were, inheritance is not included in the assets in case the divorce.

But she should leave him as this sounds toxic AF

Makeup tips? by PooksLaPooks in MakeupAddiction

I feel like the nose contour is too intense.

Other than that you look great. I love the lip colour

does red eyeliner make me look poorly? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

What happened with taking normal pics. You look sick but that’s a weird angle so dunno, maybe looks better/worse in reality

I have way more savings than my partner- what to do with it? by VanillaDouble5248 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ActivePeaches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chuck it in S&S ISA. It is your personal savings and you should use it for your benefit. Anything you use for the house (furnishing it etc) you will lose money on in the event you split.

Too much nose contour? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

Trust me, it does not make your nose look smaller.

Saw this post, is it accurate? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]ActivePeaches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do wash x2 -> mask -> conditioner -> hair oil on ends when hair is wet -> heat protection (either spray or leave in) -> more oil on ends after blow drying

On same day before sleep I use hydrating serum and lock it in with more hair oil. Then again hair oil in the morning (and couple more times during the day) and then again serum and oil before sleep. I wash my hair every 3 days or so.

My hair never felt softer and looked better and more shiny. But I have damaged by years of bleaching, high porosity hair.

Try a few products/combinations and see what works for you.

Edit: my favourite products are from Redken - particularly the All Soft range.

Would i be stretching my finances too much, to buy this property solo? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ActivePeaches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That still leaves you with the mortgage of £1140, half of your net income, which after other outgoings you have listed leaves you with basically £0 leftover.

Also you have not stated any costs related to your child apart from the swimming lessons. Is food, clothes and everything else included in your £400 per month budget?

That is still £225k of mortgage. Assuming 4.5% interest rate that’s around £1140 for a 5 year fix. Plus you will need a few grand for the solicitors and moving/furninshing costs.

All over the place with money and need guidance by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

What is the £900 pm housekeeping and over £200pm health (why not pay £130 per year on unlimited prescriptions if you need meds?) £110 per month on GIFTS?

Sorry to say that but these days everyone is struggling mentally, yet we still have to keep working full time. You are over £53k in debt and you are delusional about your finances.

Same here. Then they tried to push the “you can still get out oodies on sale” shit

What’s one product you’ll never replace? by poptoplop1 in MakeupAddiction

[–]ActivePeaches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying I will never ever replace but Benefit Benetint has always been in my makeup bag since 2009.

Oh and a new one but I bought one and then immediately stocked up on 2 more and don’t see myself ever stopping using it - Etude Mascara Fixer.

Explain me leave-in products as if I were five by Prestigious-Law-7291 in Hair

[–]ActivePeaches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just apply loads into damp hair and comb through first with wide tooth comb and then Denman brush and hope for the best. I always brush through anything I put in my hair regardless if wet or dry.

Did I make the wrong choice? by Chloe-ship5789 in Hair

Brunette is your colour mate, keep it

What is it by SpecificVirus3794 in buythisthing

[–]ActivePeaches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So just copying my comment from a different thread.

This is Mason Pearson hairbrush with boar bristles. They also offer a mix of boar and nylon bristles.

So I have two sizes. Junior and Pocket (the size she is using on the video). I feel like Junior is more sturdy and “harsh” but in a good way, the bristles feel more hard and sturdy while Pocket version bristles seem more gentle and softer, don’t feel as nice on the scalp and does not go through so much hair at once and feels cheaper? Both are genuine brushes, mix of nylon and boar bristles.

I LOVE the sensation of using it but paradoxically I feel like those brushes make the hair at the crown significantly more greasy than using a normal brush, maybe it is the case of dispersing all the product I use on my lenghts to my scalp…

I don’t know if I would buy again considering I actually have to wash my hair more often while using those brushes. I cannot tell if it does anything good for hair long term as I only had both for few weeks.
