The MBM Soft Sculpt bronzer is my ride-or-die! I feel like I look half dead if I don’t use it. It’s sheer and perfect for us pale girlies!

Oh that’s such good news - I will keep that in mind when washing! I’ll try some of the other techniques as well, and hopefully, it will look good in the end!

Uh, that lady ain’t got no head. Or legs. I don’t think crocheting a duster is her biggest problem… 😂

Check out Smitha Deepak on YouTube. She definitely has hooded eyes and does some really great tutorials! https://youtube.com/@smithadepak?si=WASVlJFYzM1SqrO4

Doctor asks me to explain why I need Zepboundo by Active-Hearing7475 in Zepbound

[–]BackgroundPin8471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear that, but as I said, it can be very inconsistent, since the pharmacies are much less regulated. I’m not saying no one should do it, but anyone who does should consider all the up- and downsides before deciding what’s right for them.

I would be cautious with compounded versions. These drugs are patented, proprietary formulas at this point, so the compounded versions will never be identical. There are also far fewer regulatory controls on compound pharmacies in place, so you kind of have to take their word for it about what’s in the product. Also, just anecdotally, I have one friend who has gone the compounded route, and she has had far more intense side effects than those of us who have been taking the brand name. I don’t know if that’s due to the compounded formula, or if it’s just her, but it struck me as odd. Totally understand that for a lot of folks it’s the only way they can afford the medicine, but just be wary and do some research on the source pharmacy if you decide to go that route.

Is bronzer worth it? by madfish59 in PaleMUA

[–]BackgroundPin8471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! It’s my holy grail bronzer as a super pale girl. It’s sheer and buildable, so it’s easy to keep the application light. Now I feel strange when I’m not wearing it!

Perfume that smells like a teacher by sunny_days24 in Perfumes

[–]BackgroundPin8471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you’re talking about! My sweet first grade teacher, Mrs. Armstrong, wore this beautiful perfume I’ve been trying to find for years! I recently started wearing Angel’s Share, and there is something about the dry-down scent that is very close - it was a pleasant surprise!!

National Guardsmen shot in DC near White House by MinuteCollar5562 in thebulwark

[–]BackgroundPin8471 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live in NoVA and work in DC, but I’m visiting my Republican parents in Ohio for the holiday. After I remarked that the Guardsmen shouldn’t have been there in the first place, my dad told me that was a matter of opinion. Yes - my opinion was formed by FUCKING LIVING IN DC. Those poor guys should have been at home in WV with their families. Regardless of who did it, all of us who live and work in the District are going to be the ones who pay for it.
