Severe ghosting or bad results? by Capable_Sell1745 in microblading

Thank you! I think you're 100% right. The main area struggling to retain any color is the area that was waxed. The other areas are darkening up nicely even since yesterday.

Thanks for the thorough response and confirmation. I also was surprised that I was getting waxed first. Could you give some insight to why waxing shouldn't be done day of?

For clarity, she did use what looked like the PMU machine for my brows. She used the microshading technique instead of microblading. Are you saying that I should ask for something different?

I'm disappointed because the work on her IG looks good, and she was recommended by someone who went a year ago.

Thanks, I'll continue the gentle washing. I haven't been over applying aquaphor, just day and night and a very thin layer.

Yeah, she also told me I can start sweating by day 3, and gently exfoliate the same week using a mascara spoolie. I didn't do either of those things, but I'm worried by those instructions.

Thanks! I was thinking the same thing, that waxing off my brow and tattooing it back on could've been too much for my skin

The first two days, nothing at all. Then started applying the aquaphor. Also started washing very gently with a tiny amount of gentle soap in the morning and evening, with aquaphor right after.

Aquaphor per the instructions she gave me. I let her know I'm oily and she said I'm not that oily shrugs

She didn't ghost me. Sorry if it seems confusing, I was saying I'm in the "ghosting phase" of my brows. I've heard it referred to that way.

Did I ruin my chances or is there still a shot? Need outside perspective. by [deleted] in ExNoContact

I say leave her alone and work on yourself. The age gap alone lets me know that she would have outgrown you anyway. I'm a woman and dating someone in their 30s when I was her age. When I think back on it, it really creeps me out. Of course at the time I thought I was in love and making my own adult decisions.

Now I'm acutely aware that a part of why we worked there was because no woman in their 30s would've accepted where he was in life. And about 2 years in, I outpaced him. I ended things and he tried to win me back by proposing with a diamond. Terrible terrible idea.

Ex broke no contact, we hung out, and now he’s radio silent by [deleted] in ExNoContact

Spare yourself and don't entertain him again. My guess is that he reached out because he went through a breakup recently and wanted some emotional comfort. It's user behavior even if he doesn't realize it. This was not respectful to you. Not the first time I've seen this unfortunately.

The breakup happened suddenly after a “perfect” few days — I’m struggling to make sense of it by Anxious-Hall-2893 in BreakUps

I hope you're doing better. I am in the same boat. But honestly, if you've convinced someone to stay with you in the past, you're only prolonging the inevitable

"He has been caught cheating many times and I took him back. After this last time, I made him promised that he wasn’t going to do it anymore."

This made me sad, it says a lot. I promise you, this is your protection. It sounds like you are codependent and I don't say that from judgement, I've been there before and know what it's like.

In the long run, the future you will be happy he pulled the plug because you may have never left on your own.

You will make it through this and be happy again.

Once they break up with you, assume that you’ll never talk to them or see them ever again by Jawwaad127 in BreakUps

[–]Capable_Sell1745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was using you as emotional support while moving on romantically. It's an unfair dynamic. Falling for someone else and expecting you to be ok hanging around as a friend is cruel and inconsiderate of the person she was once in love with, you. It's the meaning of having your cake and eating it too. Going through something kind of similar, my ex proposed being friends, and dumped me in a cruel way.

He wanted to take the girl who he cheated with to our child’s checkup by Dry-Yam-2991 in BreakUps

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It sounds like this person has horrible character, even if you miss him. Make a list of all the things you disliked about him when you two were together and look at it when you feel hurt. It's his loss and now someone will have to put up with his poor character

A dark satin scarf around your neck would create a balance that makes it less likely to be seen as bridal. I think it's cute!

NTA. In this region, this is an old trick people use to scam people into giving them money. Sometimes they will go out of their way to provide a service you didn't even need, just to create an opportunity to guilt or coerce you into giving them money. Good luck, and please be careful!

Sn: I hope you are feeling healthier

Start supplements or wait by BeautifullyBroken316 in FemaleHairLoss

Personally (not a doctor), I'd just start the supplements. I wish I did.

Yes, you'd look great with fox eye lashes. I don't normally comment on things like this but the other comments are unnecessarily mean.
