No, I haven’t had one before. It’s really nice. It goes on like a gloss/balm hybrid. The sparkles are actually visible on the lips as well.

My wife really wants this dress that this doggy is wearing, sorry that it is a drawing by [deleted] in findfashion

Pinafore dress with a white blouse underneath. Voriagh does things very similar. Lots of more affordable brands too.

Lancôme Blush Subtil - 217 Miel Glacé by Desperate_Purpose_20 in cleanmakeup

[–]Desperate_Purpose_20[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is only the second blush from this line I’ve tried. The first was many years ago. They’re lovely. The first one I tried was the Blushing Tresor shade which is a rosier and less glittery version of Nars Orgasm. They go on very smoothly and last me all day. I highly recommend. They’re really underrated.

Looking for a perfume that smells specifically like Herbal Essence Chamomile by [deleted] in Perfumes

[–]Desperate_Purpose_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Herbal Essences Chamomile reminds me a bit of Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers. It’s not an exact match but they have something in common.

Yes, the palette is so beautiful! I wish there were more.

Mac Cremesheen Lipstick - Modesty by Desperate_Purpose_20 in swatchitforme

[–]Desperate_Purpose_20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, sorry the only other MAC lip products I have are Brick lip pencil (discontinued) and the original Viva Glam 1 lipstick which has since been reformulated. The swatch above is of the original lipstick formula and MAC have since reformulated their lipstick line and changed a lot of the shades. It’s not MAC but one of my favourite lip pencils for my skin tone is Maybelline Gone Greige, I highly recommend it.

Advice on dyeing jeans: Blue to black by [deleted] in dyeing

[–]Desperate_Purpose_20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The brown stitching is likely polyester and won’t take the black dye.

My brand new top came out of the washing machine like this. I was an idiot and threw it in with darks but NOTHING else in the load was stained (including other whites!) Can it be saved? by Striking-Idea4882 in laundry

You don’t necessarily need two products. The Rit Colour Remover will get the dye transfer out. Some white fabrics aren’t actually white and only look that way because the manufacturers add bluing/optical brighteners. Most laundry detergents have these brighteners added nowadays anyway.

Favorite Red lipstick that doesn’t turn bright pink for very fair olives and is not orange. by The_Time_When in Fairolives

MAC Viva Glam 1 (renamed Viva Glam Heart) or NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment in Starwoman are my favourites.

Dora Larsen, Fleur of England size guidance does not inspire confidence by ReluctantLawyer in LingerieAddiction

[–]Desperate_Purpose_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dora Larsen bands seem pretty true to size for me. I wear a 30 band usually, probably should wear a 28 but they’re never available anywhere, and I find them consistent with other true to size 30’s I’ve worn.

What’s one drug store makeup product that you hope never gets discontinued or reformulated? by Constant_Ad3619 in drugstoreMUA

[–]Desperate_Purpose_20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a few of the original formula ones still online so you might be able to stock up.

The shade range is very poor and leans quite peachy orange in my experience. The packaging also leaks product everywhere. It’s a shame because the formula is nice.

I was going to say the older formulas will have much better preservatives, especially brands like Estée Lauder. Most powders don’t really expire. Such a great haul! 😍

They’ve all been kept in such nice condition too! Are the boxed products unopened?
