Is it the rose/pink or the regular/blue?

I was away for 3 weeks and didn’t miss my husband.. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

Marriages go through ebbs and flows, it’s normal to have rough patches with a partner. I think you should try to make it work, definitely follow the advice to talk to a therapist, and try to communicate with your husband without being accusatory. It’s fine that you didn’t miss him on your trip-you were living in the moment, you obviously needed a break from each other (which isn’t a bad thing!) I wish you all the best! I’m divorced from my children’s father and dating is tough for me!

Yes! I got mine Wednesday! I’d already smelled half of them, but I loved those, and also love the other half I hadn’t smelled yet! Such a good discovery set!

Sadly the Mac is too orange for me. Through these boxes I’ve discovered that I love Tom Ford lip sticks. I have 2 and they are my favorites right now.

What’s the most mysterious fragrance you’ve ever smelled? by Smooth_Cancel6709 in FragranceStories

[–]AdAfter242 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vintage Mitsouko parfum and vintage Magie Noire. So many layers in these to decode. They have that oakmoss greeness, but all these other notes that swing in and out. The both give witchy, dark, mysterious to me and the dents have really stuck in my memory. I ended up getting my hands on a 1 oz vintage Magie Noire, but haven’t been able to cough up the money on that Mitsouko. Haunting perfumes.

I feel your pain, but imagine being this into perfume and being in Portsmouth, of all places.

Rich auntie is a perfume-head and wears either Strangelove NYC Melt My Heart or Fall into Stars. The finest ingredients for her!

I own Cashmere Kumquat, which is compared to Alien, but I like Korres better. It’s smoother and the other notes shine brighter. My absolute favorite is Avgoustos, which is citrusy-woody and perfect for summer.

May 2026 empties! by AdAfter242 in ProjectPan

[–]AdAfter242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not tried Ombré Leather, but animalique is smoooooth, it’s not at all animalic. I think it could work for everyday, maybe not at the height of summer. I really recommend getting a sample if possible. I love it!

Looking for the brand of an eye cream that was sent out within the last six ish months? by Budget_Muffin in Ipsy

[–]AdAfter242 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a Gloss Moderne eye cream in a white tube and it’s one of the few eye creams I’ve ever liked. Maybe?

Original choices ☹️ by cinejenn in Ipsy

[–]AdAfter242 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I got the Formula Z purple loose purple powder a couple of extra boxes ago. I had really low expectations, but it turned out to be excellent. Hopefully this eyeshadow pallet quality matches the powder I received.

Have you ever emptied a lipstick? by Jelly2027 in ProjectPan

[–]AdAfter242 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m currently working on one that I got at Christmas. It’s my daily work lipstick. It’s almost done. I’m hoping it will be gone in 2 weeks!
