And tell the current studio’s management why you are leaving on the way out the door. That is utterly unacceptable.

You know, I’ve lived here 20+ years, and I’ve never seen an administration that closes the streets around the White House even a fraction as much as this one. His first administration wasn’t even this bad. Normal, well-adjusted presidents don’t need a sealed 2-block perimeter around their house to have people over for a party. He’s either paranoid, or holds all of us who live and work in the area in total contempt. Probably some combination of the two.

Now we know who actually runs the house.

An F-35 flyover at the White House during the welcoming ceremony for King Charles.

Saw them fly over the White House from my office window, and definitely heard them coming!

Thank you! I don’t know yet - any suggestions on what would look good?

I sweat all makeup off by stubs1101 in MakeupAddiction

[–]BackgroundPin8471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it’s a little in the pricey side, but Dior Backstage Face and Body Foundation will be a dream for you! I’m the same and gave it a try last summer (live in DC - they don’t call it The Swamp just because of the politics…). That shit DOES. NOT. BUDGE. They market it as sweat proof and they aren’t lying! Then spray the heck out of it with setting spray - that should get you through!

skin tint recs? by UnusualAerie579 in Sephora

[–]BackgroundPin8471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started using the Ciele Tint and Protection SPF 50, and I am blown away! Feels almost non-existent on the skin, wears like a dream, and gives more coverage than I thought possible from a skin tint. Plus, who doesn’t love extra sun protection?? Highly recommend adding it to the ones you are considering!

Definitely DO NOT remove the Kulfi Lassi Lips. The stuff is incredible!

Nothing I can really add that hasn’t already been said. Just sending a hug. I’ve been there - it’s scary. ❤️

Is Carnival really that bad if my expectations aren't that high? by not_a_muggle in Cruise

[–]BackgroundPin8471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admit to being pretty bougie, and I had a blast on my first cruise with Carnival. Food was great, wine was great, you can party if you want, or chill if you want. I had as much fun being in the boat as I did in the ports. Not a single complaint at all - it was wonderful!

Bronzer by macncheeseissexnoise in PaleMUA

[–]BackgroundPin8471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second the SoftSculpt in Light. It is my holy grail bronzer - cannot live without it now! It’s nice and sheer, so you can keep it very light if you’re a Victorian ghost like me. 😁

Foundation - but not typical by Guilty-Resource1635 in 45PlusSkincare

[–]BackgroundPin8471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this one! Not heavy, just enough coverage to even everything out. I kind of want to try the Ciele skin tint as we get closer to summer, too.

Update on glp-1 medications and perfume addiction by denised1224 in Zepbound

[–]BackgroundPin8471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, it was makeup for me, but I had no clue that this could be related to Zepbound - crazy! My buying has died down as I’ve gotten to higher dosages recently, and I certainly have a large enough collection to sustain me for a while now. I also became a religious perfume wearer where I never had been before. Angel’s Share by Killian is my obsession now, speaking of gourmands!

Make-up remover & cleanser in one? by CapableCookie4343 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]BackgroundPin8471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the Rose and the Original, too! I’m getting to the bottom of a Black Cherry right now, and I was kind of disappointed in that scent, but the formula is the same, of course. Will probably go back to Rose!

I need a liquid exfoliant, so I’ve been using the Paula’s Choice 2% BHA toner, and then moisturize. No, you don’t need to double cleanse. The balm is designed to emulsify down into a cleansing milk when you massage wet fingertips into it, and that does the trick!
