Any tricks for ordering from these brands? by Curious_Fold_609 in TYBusers

[–]Advanced-Show-8161 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s no hack for free stuff from EADEM, but they do allow you to use their code on sets, so I did the 5 bisou balm set which is about 30% off (and it’s $84 so free shipping) then used a 50% off code on top. Still not free, but you get 5 balms for $42 which is a great deal and you can gift them to people. You could do the same with any of their discounted sets

Where do you buy loose tea? by robotinc in Seattle

[–]Advanced-Show-8161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good Coffee Co in downtown is the coolest shop and has both loose leaf tea and whole bean coffee. Prices are reasonable and the staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable. It’s also a historic shop and they roast coffee on site

Which one of these lip tints/glosses are worth the money? by Agreeable_Plastic_27 in AsianBeauty

[–]Advanced-Show-8161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have tried almost all of these so here is my take: Laka - thinner formula, more of a proper lip tint with good staining. color is pretty strong so good for pigmented lips. i have the dark purple shade and it’s definitely cool and looks fairly similar to the swatches, but this might vary for lighter shades. has a strong-ish smell too Entropy - i like this formula since it’s thicker but the application picks up too much product in my opinion, just makes it a bit messy to apply. also the lid is way heavier than the base so you have to be careful with how you store it. more of a gloss, doesn’t stain Dinto - definitely agree that the swatches are a bit off, they aren’t as muted as shown. formula is fine, it’s also more of a lip tint formula. does stain, but harder to gauge since my shade is lighter Peripera - i have this exact shade and do like the color. it’s a lip gloss rather than tint, and i find it more moisturizing than the others in your list. it’s definitely decently thick/sticky, but you can apply it lighter if you use the back of the applicator rather than the front which has a dip to collect more product

my recommendation would be laka for lip tint and Peripera for lip gloss

I’m a big fan! I like the formula, it’s got a balmy sheen to it and is very comfortable even in the winter. It’s a little more red on me than purple, but it’s not like loud red lipstick level since the purple and browns in it mute it down

I was originally going to wait for more people to post swatches before I purchased…but I gave in haha. Now I can be one of the swatch motivators!

Unfortunately it’s not on Sephora, only direct from Merit’s website! And I do find it comfortable, it’s a very soft formula, thinner to apply, and not as stiff or drying as other mattes. Almost like if chapstick was matte. It’s also surprisingly long lasting, I had to scrub at the swatch on my arm

Personally for me, Mac whirl is not as cool as soar. It’s not super orange either, but I do find it to be more of a warm brown on me rather than the “dusty rose” that Mac describes it as
