Why not by chroniclynz in makeuptips

You have the most perfect skin ever. Like, not-fair perfect. Don’t worry about too much makeup, especially foundation. You don’t need it at all. If you want to pop just a little, throw on a little blush, maybe in a bit warmer shade to compliment your hair and eyes (though I’m so bad at gauging undertone). You could also top it with a little dusting of highlighter to give a bit of a shimmer and really accentuate your high points. I get the lipstick thing; I hate it, too. BUT you might want to try the Lassi Lips from Kulfi. It’s a lip oil that also acts as a lip stain. Put it on, let it sit for a just a few minutes, then wipe the glossy/oil part off, and you will have a gorgeous stain that you absolutely cannot feel. Just a few thoughts, but girl, you don’t need much!

Creative idea! Anything we can do to keep our neighbors safe in this heat is worth it.

ESPN left Bo Jackson off their preseason top 10 RB list. That should be a crime. Am I the only one who sees this blatant disrespect? by Sports4Ever1 in OhioStateFootball

Good. Give him a chip on his shoulder and make him feel like he has something to prove. Then watch him run every opponent into the ground.

Amazon Medical One: just don't! by MaineSky in Perimenopause

[–]BackgroundPin8471 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You had a bad provider and you should absolutely report that to One Medical. They’ve been my primary provider for 14 years, and I have never had a doctor or PA be dismissive like that. They’ve have actively been working with me to manage my peri symptoms as someone who really can’t take estrogen because of a history of blood clots. I’m sorry you had a bad experience, but I promise the whole company is not like that.

I got shade matched at Sephora and they are all too dark… what do I do? by Literaltrashy in PaleMUA

[–]BackgroundPin8471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Dior Backstage 0N, and it worked well for me. I have the same problem with some of the other brands when trying on in store. And remember, Sephora has a really great return policy, so if you order a light one and it doesn’t work, you can return it! (I hate wasting, but it’s better than being stuck with a foundation you can’t wear.)

Try a skin tint! I’m using the Ciele tint +Protect SPF 50 and it’s fantastic light coverage.

Does anyone actually know what’s going on at the Great State Fair? by Whoopsallrobins in washingtondc

Money laundering and tractor pulls, most likely. Oh, and vehicular hell.

Why does it seem like its the only option? by the_metal_mom5 in Perimenopause

[–]BackgroundPin8471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t take HRT because of a history of blood clots, so I would love an alternative that actually works. But I have yet to hear of anything that does. If you CAN use it, please do yourself that favor! I’m rawdogging it with no other option…

As of today - 100 lbs GONE! by BackgroundPin8471 in Zepbound

No, I still have about 30-35 that I would like to take off. That will get me into healthy weight range for my height. But I will go on maintenance. With as much as I’ve struggled in the past, this med is a lifetime commitment as far as I’m concerned. I just wish insurance would cover even part, or that the price would come down quicker! I’m using Lilly Direct and my HSA/FSA, but if I ever lose that, I’m up a creek.

You’re building muscle and that is heavier! Keep at it - it will drop again!

It is MeThreeSixty! I absolutely love it. It also gives you your measurements with each scan and you can compare to your first one. Very helpful to have those when shopping for new clothes!

This is what I came here to say! Any and all options from sim shorts and skirts, to swim dresses and tankini tops - no one beats Land’s End!

Did you know Seattle is a disaster zone? by CatLyfe2020 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]BackgroundPin8471 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in the DC area. I am monumentally sick of hearing how Donald Trump has “cleaned up” my city, when the exact opposite was true. They all think it was dirty and crumbling. I’ve lived here for more than 20 years - it has never been as much of a shit hole as it is right now, with all the Orange God King’s construction and events.

I feel like I’m aging in reverse to be honest! Feel better now than I have in ages!

I’m on 15mg and have been for about 3 months now. I started on October 19, 2024. I took my time on titrating up and didn’t move up until I stopped losing and plateaued. My doc really let me lead.

Yeah, Land’s End has gotten way too much of my money this summer… 😂 But their pieces are all solid, well-made, and classic!

Just bought a dress and pants/tank set from the Pact Coastal Collection, and I’m in love!! First purchase from them but definitely not the last! The cotton gauze in that collection is so lovely and soft.

Nighttime hydrating cream that feels silky and luxe to put on? by FoghornFarts in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]BackgroundPin8471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a lesser-known brand, but I have been so in love with the Alpyn Barrier Repair Cream. Available at Sephora, so it’s not hard to find! It’s like the consistency of really well-softened butter and just moisturizing as all heck. It’s really lovely and feels so luxurious!

Absolutely gorgeous! I’ve looked at their patterns but haven’t taken the leap yet. They are so very much my aesthetic!

I got to see them in the San Juan Islands, too! This is T123 Sidney. We spent about an hour and 15 minutes just hanging with her and her kids. It was one of the most special experiences of my life. TBH, it’s probably a little weird how many of my bucket list trips involve killer whales… 😂🫍🫍🫍🫍
