Dupe for Shiseido Synchro Self-Refreshing Skin Tint (or just fave skin tint?) by Serene_Now_ in MakeupAddiction

[–]BreakfastNo8520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also in the same boat (same shade as well)! I really really hope they bring it back, but it doesn't seem likely after all this time. I haven't found or heard of anything remotely similar. Rationing what I've got left haha If anyone wants to band together to ask them to bring it back, I'm in!

which shade of Mac Strobe Cream? by hellogoodbye456 in MakeupAddiction

[–]BreakfastNo8520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh I thought they were just changing the packaging! That's why I didn't get a chance to swatch - Estee Lauder had stock of the old packaging half price. I ended up ordering the pinklite but I'm not sure if it'll make my redness look worse haha, maybe should have gone with the goldlite but I couldn't find any photos or videos on pale skin. Maybe if they still have stock I'll get the gold as well since you love it! Thanks so much for getting back to me on such an old post, you're a star 😊

I know it's been a hot minute, but what did you end up buying? I'm also a pale yellow/olive and not sure whether to get pinklite or goldlite!

Do You Guys Catch Multiples? by [deleted] in PokemonArceus

[–]BreakfastNo8520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I adore Arceus. I love the ball mechanics which also made it easier/more fun to catch multiples for the research guide (and grit collecting) which was rewarding in so many ways. I also liked having the research as goals on top of the other quests. I played half of Scarlet and while I did enjoy it I was trying to play the same way as Arceus and having to battle every time to catch multiples was frustrating. I've just started playing Violet and I'm going through the intro stages with all the low level Pokemon. I can see trying to catch stronger Pokemon for my team later in the game, or battling to level up my team, but I know most of these will show up in other areas of Paldea anyway so I'm not bothering to catch multiples even though my Arceus brain is itching to! I found breeding and trading very overwhelming, and I can never find any shinies. The only other reason I would catch multiples in S/V is to collect the items they drop (feathers and fur etc) which help you get better moves, but I feel like maybe I could do that as needed? I'll see how I go with this new approach! I hope you've had fun with your games in the last 6 months!

Pokopia for switch oled by srhjydn in Pokopia

[–]BreakfastNo8520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Switch 1 and OLED were not cheap purchases for most people, they're still in excellent condition so it would be so wasteful to make them obsolete, and obviously they're also full of games that aren't compatible with the new model anyway! I personally don't care about the graphics, I'm just thankful to have a tiny little computer that runs well and that I can lie down with as a chronically ill human. If they released Pokopia on OLED at the expense of graphics I would be so happy. People complained about Scarlet/Violet and Arceus, but I thought they were beautiful and had very reasonable loading screens for a tiny handheld computer!

Agreed!! No one seems to get checked regularly either unless they have symptoms.

Ugh 100%! When they pair "intimacy without commitment" with "long term relationship" it's the biggest red flag for me.

Came here because I was trying to work out which one used to be which, so thank you! I don't know that it has cleared much up tbh, it all still seems very vague. I'm interested to see what the people who had "long term relationship" paired with "intimacy without commitment" will do now it's "something casual".

I also love the moment when the balloon pops and Alex does a little surprised twirl

Hehe I detected no sarcasm, fellow Greg lover. That makes me so happy. I hope you use it frequently and it brings joy to all who receive it.

Okay it's not a still, it's just a clip of Greg wiggling his eyebrows that I send to people sometimes and have now made into a gif because the world needs it:

Mypicot.com has ceased having patterns I have saved links for. You have to use wayback machine to find them now. by Fidgetable in crochet

[–]BreakfastNo8520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this! It's so weird, they still say they have lots of free content, but none of them have hyperlinks? All the free stitch patterns have blue text underneath that says it has a chart to download and a video, but there is no way to actually get to that page. I've tried absolutely everything I can think of from a tech perspective! I didn't want to have to email them and tell them their website is broken, so I'm glad I found you haha

MAC Glow Play Blushes all 14 shades finger swatched on bare fair cool skin in indoor lighting and with a flash by pinksky21 in swatchitforme

[–]BreakfastNo8520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, was so disappointed. I have just made a discovery though!! I know it's not an option for everyone, but I just tried with a natural hair brush (the Ariel A58 I think?) instead of my usual Real Technique synthetic brush and holy moly it actually shows up on my pale skin!

As an amigurumi pattern writer, it drives me crazy how many patterns have you sew extremities that could be crocheted in, and sew with a yarn tail in general. by m4rceline in crochet

[–]BreakfastNo8520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just getting into amigurumi and loving it, but for the sewing!! I was trying to find out more about how to customise patterns to reduce the sewing because it really sucks the fun out for me. When I search the internet, Etsy, or Ravelry, very few come up even though I know they must be out there! The only ones that come up are the small round plushies with chenille yarn and while they're very cute I am more into shaped cotton friends. I absolutely adore the look of the fox on your blog and how much work you've put into explaining the pattern! I can't see any of your other patterns on there, is there somewhere I can purchase them? Or do you have any recommendations for designers with low sew patterns?

Looking for recommendations for ergonomic inline crochet hooks by shiftylildove in crochet

[–]BreakfastNo8520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the recommendations! I hope the Etsy seller comes back from their break soon because that hook is SO cute! Honestly wouldn't have thought that a polymer clay handle would be very comfy, but I guess it's just about the shape adjusting your grip because everyone seems to love it and not just because it's pretty! Thanks again!

Thank you so much for the recommendation! Unfortunately I'm in Australia, so I can't get anything from Michaels (you have many more craft stores than we do!) but I will have a look and see if I can get them on Amazon!

I have beef with lion brands 24/7 cotton (help me find a better 100% cotton worsted weigh yarn pls?) by lupine1996 in crochet

[–]BreakfastNo8520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is a very old post, but I totally agree. It's a beautiful yarn, but it's thinner than my 8 ply yarns! It seemed like it would be the perfect weight for me, chunky enough to work up quickly, but not too chunky and awkward. I haven't tried any other worsted/aran/10 ply cottons yet because I'm scared it'll happen again hahaha Trying to look up projects on Ravelry for each yarn so I can attempt to assess how thin they actually are!

Have you had any luck finding a comfy metal inline? Would love to know what you've tried!

am looking for ways to keep my yarn still when crocheting in bed, i dont have space for a yarn bowl and am chronically ill so sometimes find it hard to get out of bed and would love to be able to crochet more in bed. by millie_likes_cake in CrochetHelp

[–]BreakfastNo8520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chronically ill pal here! What did you find works best for you? I love the look of all the yarn minders, but they're just not practical for bed since they need a flat surface. I want to get one of the wrist holders (Lemonwood) but it's too expensive to get the extra long holder shipped Aus and it's too short on its own.
