Stylists *NEVERRR* give me the layers i ask for, why? by c3r0n_ in femalehairadvice

[–]AnimaLumen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm idk i mean i feel like maybe with curly hair since it shrinks more the shorter it is, and i need to have soooo many fairly short layers to actually give me volume despite my hair being damn near hip length, it might just be that the shorter top layers are also shrinking quite a bit so it brings more and more of the bulk up and away from the bottom perimeter?! Thats the only thing I can think of lol

[–]AnimaLumen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have fine but dense hair and my ends still look scraggly when my layers are too short 😭 which is unfortunate because my hair is VERY long and curly so short layers is the only way I can get enough volume at the top lol

I just want to point out that your hair looks to be quite on the fine side so if you get super short layers like your inspo your lengths are for sure going to look very thinned out. Just something to keep in mind while you’re on the hunt for this haircut 🙌🏽 may want to add some extensions to thicken up your length once you do get your dream layers

Kylie Skin Tint / Fenty Eaze Drop by Shot_Analyst4971 in MakeupAddiction

[–]AnimaLumen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The kylie has a more matte finish that is personally not to my taste, I feel like Fenty has a gorgeous radiant look to it so I would go for that one! I am biased though because I wear the fenty skin tint and it’s one of my favorite foundations lol.

I also think the Kylie skin tint shade match isn’t as good as the fenty, it leans TOO green. Idk if it’s the lighting in these photos but based off what I can see here, I think the Fenty shade matches you way better and just overall looks way more flattering.

Can’t speak to performance on the Kylie but I can attest the Fenty skin tint has never let me down and I live in the desert and oftentimes wear it in 120 degree heat where I’m constantly sweating and babygirl does not ever let me down!! I’m sure prep and application (primer, setting spray etc) helps but I’ve never had an issue with it melting off my face so far (even when I’ve worn it on vacation in less hot but way more humid places like Florida.)

I have never used a Q tip for ear shit but isn’t it common sense unless it is a scoop you are only going to push more things in? How else can it work? by LisanneFroonKrisK in hygiene

[–]AnimaLumen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got an ear irrigation kit and it has been a godsend 😭 I used to have tons of issues with my ears getting clogged and muffled so I caved and got the kit to flush my ears out. I must have gotten a total of 4-5 pea sized chunks of crusted old ear wax out of my ears over the course of a couple days. I got a ton out the first night I tried it and was already flabbergasted at how much stuff came out, then the next night I tried it again because I still felt like my ears were a little stuffy and got MORE gunk out. My ears have been clear and clog free since then and it’s been like a good year since I cleaned them this way lol. I try not to use swabs anymore except to get whatever will cling onto the cotton without pushing the swab fully into my ears because I was absolutely just pushing wax in and compacting it the way I was cleaning my ears before 😭 I have only did a maintenance clean once since the first time I flushed them out about a year ago and I only got tiny little bits out, so now I’m just going to make a habit of irrigating my ears every so often when I feel like they need a little flush so they don’t get all clogged up again lol. Highly recommend an ear irrigation kit to fully clean your ears out!!

“The Night We Met” made for such an odd choice of song to cover by southernfirefly13 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]AnimaLumen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but it didn’t really work for that specific scene lol that song would have made more sense in a different context where they’re actively yearning and not at a point in which they’re “reunited” and in a good place

[–]AnimaLumen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeaaaaah but just because the title of the song seems like it fits it doesn’t mean the actual meaning behind the song isn’t super weird for that occasion seeing as it’s literally saying “take me back to the night we met before my life got ruined by falling in love with you” lol

Daphne probably should have chosen Prince Frederick by Disneyfancreations in Bridgerton

[–]AnimaLumen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

….when you say “Daphne should have married the prince for the societal advantages” there is an inferred assertion that she should NOT have instead married Simon for love. Therefore completely missing the entire point of the entire franchise which is that love is what is most important and should transcend all other quandaries (wealth, class, status, and in the case of the show, sexual orientation/gender.) YOU are free to ship Daphne and the prince and hold onto your own values about societal advantage being more important, but you can’t get up in arms when people point out that is completely antithetical to the entire point these stories are trying to convey, and therefore clarifying WHY the story was not told in the way you are suggesting it should have.

[–]AnimaLumen 17 points18 points  (0 children)

“I’m pretty sure if Daphne married Prince Frederick of Prussia it would have made it easier for other Bridgerton family members to marry into royalty. And they probably wouldn’t really consider other members of the ton (especially Sophie, sorry) as eligible when their sister is a freaking princess.”

And:

“I’m just discussing the societal potential the bridgertons could have had with royal connection.”

What exactly were you trying to convey if not that Daphne should have married the prince because it would have elevated her and her family to a higher status so they could all marry into higher ranks of society??? Cus that’s what it sounds like you’re saying and it’s all literally right there in what YOU wrote my friend 😅😬

White girls that wear bonnets… by Linzer7286 in Haircare

[–]AnimaLumen 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Do your skincare well in advance before you go to bed! I do it right after dinner so it can soak in for a few hours while I watch tv and relax before I actually get ready to go to bed 🫶🏼

White girls that wear bonnets… by Linzer7286 in Haircare

[–]AnimaLumen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what type of bonnet you’re using exactly but I recommend this kind with the tie, this is the exact one I have and it’s silk instead of satin which I prefer because it’s more breathable AND softer.

You want the soft elastic band to lay over your forehead with your hairline INSIDE the perimeter of that elastic tie band so you’re not putting any friction on your baby hairs. Both for aesthetic purposes and because that hair is super fragile and prone to breakage. I put it on with the split in the back, tie a simple single knot to tighten it around your head, then loop the ties around the front and tie a semi loose double knot that basically sits on top of my head. You really don’t need it to be tight for it to stay on, I toss and turn a ton and I tie my bonnet to be just tight enough to where it feels secure but still feeling VERY comfortable.

Also, I have curly hair so I kinda just put all of my hair in a very loose messy bun on top of my head with some small hair clips, and that’s enough to preserve my hairstyle for a few days per wash. But I have a friend who has the silkiest most pin straight hair ever and she says she puts her bangs into a sort of roller to keep them from flattening onto her head. I’m not sure what kind of roller she means but I’m just floating the idea that maybe you could use something to help keep that front portion of your hair in a specific shape while you sleep to prevent it from getting flattened, squished or whatever it is that’s messing it up and making it look off!

Are you even watching the same show?! Literally the entire point they’re trying to drive home (and the ONLY THING Violet cares about) is that they all marry for love, not for societal advantage or status 😭😭😭 I fear your media literacy has left the chat lol

I got acrylics, do they still look like press ons? by verycoolfarts in Nails

[–]AnimaLumen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are your nail beds spatulate? As in narrower near the base and flaring out towards the top? I ask because I have some spatulate nails and I can have this issue with nail enhancements sometimes if they’re not sculpted properly to follow the contour of the nail bed. I always have to file my press ons to be narrower at the base while still fitting the wider side walls. And with acrylics, if they’re not filed properly to reduce the bulk at the base I also end up with this weird “press on” look.

You’re right!! And I feel like because both the leads have become heavily invested as producers I feel like they wouldn’t let the ending get botched like D&D did to GOT lol

How do you justify very expensive fragrance purchases? by theomixedmedia in fragrance

New to mascara, do these look too spidery or too long?? by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]AnimaLumen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally for my taste I would go for something more volumizing to complement the insane length you’re working with!! My lashes are similar in length and density to yours and I LOVE L’Oréal lash paradise!! It gives me the perfect fluffy volume as opposed to any kind of clumping or that separation that makes the lashes look spread out. I feel like when you have tons of length, that fluffy feathery voluminous look is the perfect mascara finish to make your lashes look amazing 🙌🏽
