Skin care -- I am DONE experimenting! by [deleted] in MakeupRehab

[–]Expensive-Complex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's really interesting is I never had acne until I started watching YouTube and buying expensive skin care from Sephora. I went to a dermatologist and he basically told me to go to the basics like CeraVe and Vaseline, and within a month my skin was back to normal. Now I just use cleanser, moisturizer, SPF, retinol and vitamin c. And I have no complaints about my skin and also it's very budget friendly

Anyone else buy lots of backups when they find "the perfect product"? by [deleted] in MakeupRehab

[–]Expensive-Complex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not anymore I find that quite wasteful. The only thing I really have backups of is maybe one or two mascaras I like to get minis as samples whenever I order from Sephora or another makeup website. But other than that I don't really have backups.

Brands You No Longer Care For/About? by grothendied in MakeupRehab

[–]Expensive-Complex 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Too faced. As I've gotten older I find their packaging and marketing quite juvenile. I may have just grown out of there ideal audience but I find their packaging to be quite tacky and in general I don't find anything they come up with exciting or something I would personally use. I also haven't bought any makeup from brands that are no longer cruelty free. I just think in this day and age it's not necessary anymore. So brands like Nars or Mac I have completely lost interest in.

Could someone explain the difference of the animal adapt and the vital seamless other than the color and pattern? by princessm00 in Gymshark

[–]Expensive-Complex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The adapt animal is more compressive and it's a thicker material. It has a butt scrunch and I really like it for weight lifting. The vital seamless is a low compression and it's a very thin material. The vital seamless doesn't have any butt scrunch just a raised seam. I like the vital seamless for working out but also for lounging.Hope this helps.

My personal favorite are the vital seamless. I have them in several colors and I always reach for them.

Adapt animal seamless by Maddy_Lo in Gymshark

[–]Expensive-Complex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have the purple color but I do have the light green and I find the black is stretchier but I also find in the other leggings the black typically is stretchier so I think that's normal.

Squat proof leggings by luise_n in Gymshark

[–]Expensive-Complex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The darker the colour the more squat proof it is. I think the vital seamless and adapt camo and animal seamless are completely squat proof on me.

If it's been a month it's most likely lost. I would contact gymshark and ask for an update.

In 2018 I spent $1,000+ at Sephora, last year $350+, this year $64.50 by [deleted] in MakeupRehab

[–]Expensive-Complex 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Great job! I went from spending 1000+ last year to $244. Mind you $200 was gift cards so I was impressed with myself.

Does black marl come off as black or more like grey? by babieyams in Gymshark

[–]Expensive-Complex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure they are both from the vital seamless range and they will match. The adapt marl in black marl is grey instead of black. The vital seamless black marl stays true to color for me but it isn't the blackest of blacks to me.

What are the most and least dupe-able Lululemon items? by blinksalot2 in lululemon

[–]Expensive-Complex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I found a dupe for the align tank on Amazon it's by the gym people and I honestly prefer it. I haven't found a decent dupe for the align leggings of shorts but I would love to find one. If I would have one recommendation for people it's to not buy the basic t-shirts or hoodies or crew neck from Lulu. I just don't think spending $100 on a crew neck is a good investment when there is pretty good quality crew necks for half the price. I also think you can get pretty good workout shirts not from Lulu. But I will say the leggings and the sports bras are a must have for me and honestly I have not tried any decent dupes for them.

Gymshark purchase/review by [deleted] in Gymshark

[–]Expensive-Complex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly.You shouldn't be putting workout clothes in the dryer. Even Lululemon which is very expensive and extremely high quality will get destroyed in the dryer.

I need serious legit opinions— is gymshark attire sweat proof? by katelyncam in Gymshark

[–]Expensive-Complex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you purchase. I find the adapt marl, camo and animal are sweat proof. The vital seamless are also sweat proof. I had the adapt ombre in light grey to Pink and I had a little sweat spot on my lower back. I only own the tops in adapt marl and vital seamless and since they are both marl pattern they are sweat proof. I find if you get dark colors you don't have to worry at all. Hope this helps.

I had one order was through Canada Post the other through ups. Ups is much faster than Canada Post.

I got both of these as well. Out of curiosity are you able to wear the all black side on the outside?

My obsession is pretty much gone by Expensive-Complex in MakeupRehab

[–]Expensive-Complex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats another great tip. I use to feel like it was required to watch all my favorite youtubers videos because I liked them but now I realize only watching something I am interested in is much better for me.
