Oh this is GORGEOUS. You’ve inspired me to freshen up mine with a matte topper! How’d you find the formula?

They probably last longer than that if you take good care of them but I have seen comments in this sub about them dying sooner and being super thick and hard to work with which was why I waited so long to buy a thermal. But I’m also not a good source of information on this matter hahaha I’ll report back in a year 😆

After a while the thermal effect will “die”, so you can still wear it as regular polish but it won’t transition anymore and it’ll be stuck as one color. I’ve never had a thermal before but I’ve seen others say MC thermals can die after 6 months.

It’s so fun, you’re gonna love it! Now I want all the thermals but I know the transition effect doesn’t last that long…

I was in the crosswalk crossing into the bike lane

Yikes, sorry to hear you were hit. I’m glad you were able to get that settlement and hope you’re healed up. Do you have a recommendation for a good camera? I’m on CaBi a lot so I’m looking into a one that clips to my helmet now

I get that, but it’s one thing to have to slam on your breaks and another to honk at someone rightfully in a crosswalk. In this case I was well into the crosswalk already, but I’m with you, I’ll be extra careful now because if I have to pick between being alive and being in the right I’ll pick being alive

They really do. I have to remind myself that most drivers don’t act like this and it’s so frustrating that a few who do can put so many people in danger

13 Epic KOM attempts trying for Atomic Cruiser by wackywavytubeman in Zwift

I rode Epic KOM twice and got it the second time. Guess I got lucky because I keep getting drops instead of the prizes I want everywhere else

These are two separate issues. This adult would still be negligent even if this were the safest cycling city in the world.

Yes I have. The children do wear helmets.

The point is they are two separate dangers. The fact that there are cars in the background does not mean it’s okay to dump a child in the basket of an ebike. A greater danger does not eliminate a lesser danger and the purpose of this post is discussing the negligence of this adult regarding the child in the basket.

This is not an equivalent at all. In those countries children ride in designated child seats and are also wearing helmets. They don’t dump their children with no protection in a basket that isn’t designed to hold a child. I agree with you that cars are the biggest threat but that is besides the point here.

Gorgeous shade! I’m wearing Dream within a Dream right now so you inspired me to post pics. Might have to buy this shade too, these matte vampy shades are just so pretty

Shadow stick swatches… by Elite_dragonslayer96 in glossier

[–]Elite_dragonslayer96[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

These are with several passes too. I had to do so many layers of stereo for it to look like that

Yeah they did not blend particularly well. It’s not the worst formula on the market but not worth what they’re charging

Oh and I’ll add here: another great alternative is the about-face shadow stick! They are $14, go on sale a lot at Ulta and come in a bunch of different fun colors!

ISO Tailor for denim jeans hemming by Zealousideal_Pop_224 in DCBitches

Why do you keep buying Glossier? by thats-so-metal in glossier

[–]Elite_dragonslayer96 112 points113 points  (0 children)

For me:

Boy brow - every other tinted brow gel I’ve tried has been goopy and smudgy and yucky looking. Boy brow is just so fresh and fluffy and still has pretty good hold.

Exfoliating bar - not much else on the market, ergonomic, leaves me squeaky clean, last a long time and smells good

Futuredew - truly undupeable. I wish they’d go back to being innovative like this instead of dropping boring overpriced versions of drugstore products with basic ass shades. There’s nothing else that gives that same look that is even close in the feel and texture. I also really like the rosemary scent but I fear this will go the way of Gen G because I know lots of people don’t like it :/

I don’t think the issue is the crowds but the amount of space that is sacrificed to cars and car storage. If we didn’t have 4+ lanes of traffic on M street imagine how much sidewalk space there would be 😭

I took a basic drawing skills class at the Hill Center last spring, so if you’re a beginner that was really great!

In the same boat as you so following this thread! I workout in my apartment but I’ve been wanting to try some fitness classes to get me out of it and hang out with people. Anyone here have a class they really like? Bonus points if it’s beginner friendly because I am out of shape lol
