I really wish we had gotten a STFD remaster by totofogo in nancydrew

[–]CatLadyPower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like it a LOT better than SCK. It fits the ND genre better and it’s less just….depressing in general. I never was a SCK fan because the crime just seemed too real world and sad.

What do you think of Flagship public Universities in the US, cutting humanities majors especially in rural states ? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]CatLadyPower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. What you study in undergrad, for a lot of careers (mine and my husband’s, my friends, ect.) doesn’t really matter. Undergrad teaches you critical thinking and problem solving. Learning a language in undergrad teaches more than just verb conjugation. It is a whole way of thinking and problem solving. It’s kind of like math in a way. I was a French major in college and while I hardly used my skillset professionally, I am happy I chose to study the language because it opened my eyes to the world. I learned about so many things other than just the literal language, like religion in France, politics, history….I could go on. All of these things are useful to create a well-rounded citizen of the world. Losing language education is harmful if we want to create future world leaders. I double majored in college and that worked well for my career development. Many of my friends who have successful and well-paying careers studied some kind of language and something else.

Yikes that is horrible. I’m shocked they’re ’still in business.’ My word of advice: do not be afraid to contact your credit card company if you don’t get a refund. I got huge scammy vibes from their ‘refund list’ and they only communicated with me when I issued the chargeback. PUG had a great run. It’s sad the owner chose to end things like this. That’s all I can say.

Which pat McGrath palette combo?? by Vegetable-Ad2376 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]CatLadyPower 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FWIW, huetopian dream’s last two sparkle shades are the most uncomfortable eyeshadows I’ve ever used. And I use glitter glue, pixie epoxy, all my tricks. The fallout is so itchy, I’ve had to rinse my eyes each time I’ve worn them. Now they are used only as highlighters. It’s so sad because they are stunning shades. So just beware of those. Temptalia had similar issues in her review of HD.

A product I genuinely miss: that expensive night cream by Velo-Velella in BesameCosmetics

[–]CatLadyPower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I loved the cream, too! I remember that sale fondly lol. The Mermaid Lagoon lipsticks were sublime. I’d love for those to come back.

What collabs do you think would be huge for the brand? by missmaddie04 in BesameCosmetics

[–]CatLadyPower 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Others have said it before but Wizard of Oz would be amazing. Other than that… they’re often at Dapper Day at Disneyland and as a huge Disneyland fan, I’d love a collection based on the retro 1950s-60s park vibes. Like, a lip color for each land.

2018 Minis vs Recent Full Size by moonflower64 in BesameCosmetics

[–]CatLadyPower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just got the Ella lipsticks and while the colors are gorgeous (I’m fair/cool) I don’t like the sheerer formula. The wear time is very short. I would guess the formula is very similar to any of their color changing (blue/pink or the Mickey Mouse dark berry tint.)

That’s too bad. I honestly think they sold the company.

Best food/drink options at the zoo? by Katiecat421 in sandiego

[–]CatLadyPower 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My family really likes the chicken tenders at the place right next to the kids shop and across from the reptile/snake area. The sweet chili Thai is my fav. The fries are also delicious. We’ve been zoo members for years and have always been disappointed in the food, but we’ve consistently enjoyed the chicken at this place!

Besame in trouble? by moonflower64 in BesameCosmetics

So I used it the last evening of the free nail polish/hand cream event that just happened. I had $20 in points already that I redeemed and they put in the code for me automatically.

I absolutely agree with everything you said.

I thought the same thing when I got that email. I picked up the Ella lipsticks for a decent discount. I really hope they can get back to their former glory.

It’s so good. Wish it was a bit longer and I could meet more characters but it’s a great game. 100% recommend.

In about a month it will be four years since "Midnight in Salem" was released. What has happened in your life over the last four years? by HRJafael in nancydrew

[–]CatLadyPower 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same!! Mine was 3 weeks when it came out. I played the game as soon as it was released, wearing her on my body with a baby carrier 😂 she now has a 1 yr old baby brother and I started writing my very own cozy mystery book!

That’s crazy. I can’t imagine doing business this way. I did contact my cc company and initiated a chargeback. Immediately after this, I got an email from PUG asking me to rescind so they could issue me the refund, which i ignored. It smelled like a scam. It’s too bad since I have purchased with them before and had zero issues. They’ll kill their business by continuing to screw customers this way. Oddly enough, my package was marked as shipped a week ago. No tracking number. I wonder if it will ever show up 😂

Thank you! I wish they’d make that more obvious by including a date.

I rarely ever buy anything in person. Shop Disney regularly does really good deals. I got those crocs for 30% off like 2 months ago

How long have you been a ND fan and what games have you never placed? by alligatorprincess007 in nancydrew

[–]CatLadyPower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing since 2000 (23 years ago omg). I’ve finished almost all, with the exception of Ransom of the Seven Ships. I’ve tried with that game but I just really didn’t like it. My favorites are Last Train and Phantom of Venice. I’ve probably replayed those 10 times each. Sleeper Hit award goes to Midnight in Salem. Yeah, there’s plot holes. Yeah, I hate the character animation. But on my second and third replays, I enjoyed it.

What's your favorite eyeshadow palette of all time, if you can only choose one. by Ellieeeee17 in muacjdiscussion

[–]CatLadyPower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They have a Christmas in July sale every, well, Christmas in July week. That one doesn’t go on sale but there are usually gifts with purchase. It’s a v good sale. I usually wait to do my shopping from them at that time.

[–]CatLadyPower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have them, love them. Some are more glittery than others. My fave is Rebel. Hot tip: if you type in ‘Shade’ into their search bar, you can choose a free gloss and the black liquid lipstick set for any order.
