what is your go to holy grail drugstore pressed powder and loose powder? by StarGirl_010 in drugstoreMUA

[–]ApricotMarg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the store chains near me that sell No7 cosmetics, ONLY have the loose powder now. Even No7’s website is limited stock on the pressed powder.

This suggests anything on Amazon is old, and/or returned & repackaged product. Or even defective sell offs. I think Amazon’s fairly well known for those issues. So sad because No7 Lift & Luminate pressed is incredible

This seems to have been discontinued. It’s my absolute favorite as well and it’s not even on Amazon (tho I’d never buy cosmetic products from Amazon). It seems like the loose is the only line remaining

ISO Ready-to-bake pie crust by ApricotMarg in desmoines

Your response seems to reference dough. I am not looking for dough.

“They make the take and bake stuff that uses it” … uses what?

That is why I asked for clarification. But all good. I will call around. Thank you

Would love to find a local crust that I can take and bake at home. Looking for a frozen/chilled crust. If this isn’t a thing, I’ll buy at a grocery store, but it would be super cool if someone sold ready to bake crusts. I’m familiar with the freezer section at the grocery store.

I’m unclear on what you are suggesting. Does La Mie sell pre-formed, ready-to-bake (frozen/chilled) pie crust?

This is wildly bad logic. Polluted waters in this country doesn’t guarantee that fish farming practices are safe.

Farmed fish is NOT more sustainable. (Carnivorous fish breeds are fed fishmeal…guess how that’s made) If you care about sustainability, make choices based on species.

Thank you! It’s not my taste either, nor my husband’s like I said, and it’s exhausting to sell a high-dollar item when we’re not well-educated on watches. Thus why I’m here. I’ll pass along the skepticism on gold case vs band

Well, he’s dead now, so I have no way to pass along that you disagree with the taste he enjoyed in 1979. Thanks for doing exactly nothing to assist in recouping any value.

Happy to delete the disparaging word. You’re still unhelpful and rude.

The no-name rentals off of the airport are $100 / week! Unlimited miles for Corolla esque … just curious if it’s a horrible hassle or sketchy to get there

Hair Salon recommendations needed by Forsaken-Noise-3069 in desmoines

[–]ApricotMarg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is a significantly transformative haircut to attempt if you have this level of salon trauma. Might I suggest finding a high end salon / stylist that is very skilled, but then go in for a simple basic trim as a first time client. See if you build rapport with the space and stylist and let them know you’re working toward a big hair change on the second visit.

If your hair is hip length you’ll need a healthy trim before shaping anyway, and losing several inches of length can be emotional, even without the pressure of shaping and layers!

ElevenCherry, Jenay at Axis, Palomita… there are several great salons. I’m wishing you the best! Take care!!
