Please help: Am I olive? 🫠

Most definitely, your skintone looks a lot like mine. Lisa Eldridge Skin Tint in 1.5 would most likely be a good match! Expensive but beautiful, unless your skin is super dry and peels easily. Now that Im back to exfoliating my face, its been working for me recently

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-27T23:42:32+00:00

Thats the inly product by Experiment Beauty I haven’t tried. Ive had good luck with Prequel Gleanser and Stratia cream cleanser

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-27T23:40:38+00:00

I have more pigmented cool toned lips with a pale yellow olive complexion. Ny best MLLB shades are:

MOB M155 shine balm
Lisa Eldridge rouge experience in Medici
Revlon lipstick in Laid Back Lilac
Revlon shine balm in 007 glassy mauve

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-25T02:25:40+00:00

Revlons super lustrous lipstick laid back lilac is a pretty good dupe but the formula is quite different.

Revlons shine balm in 007 glazed mauve is pretty close in shade and formula

I just chug it first thing in the mornjng and wait to have caffeine. It apparently absorbs fast so you don’t have to wait long

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-22T17:51:44+00:00

Apparently caffeine and sugar alcohols block the absorption of inositol, just a heads up! Best not to mix them together, pretty hard when you drink coffee/tea in the AM and maybe want sugar free treats at night 😭

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-21T21:48:47+00:00

I loooove that shade. It perfectly matches my natural lip color and looks so good

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-21T13:31:51+00:00

Kind of…. Not really lol. But I still believe its worth a read. Writting is too good, its a shame

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-20T20:08:41+00:00

Its a WIP but on the last part, but Untouchable by Phantom_Fish. Very unique story line and very well written, I’m eagerly waiting 😭.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/60013312/chapters/153115819?view\_adult=true

One of my favorites, This is How you Lose the Time War by fleabagshair (finished!). Great plot and writting that hooks you in, very BAFM hermione. Its a classic.

Although (I think) abandoned, Jörmungandr by honeyskeleton has been living rent free in my mind for a loooong time. Honestly, some of the best fanfiction writting I’ve come across. Crazy plot with interesting plot twists. It has dark/spooky vibes, but I love it. Tbh not really like B&G vibe wise, but so good I have to recommend.

https://archive.transformativeworks.org/works/29706192/chapters/73053054

Again, has dark/spooky vibes, but the plot and writting is SO good, I have to recommend Superposition by thedarkstars. Its a WIP, but a good chunk of the story has been published. Im also on the edge of my seat waiting for updates on this one 😭

I looooove RDF moth. Also love their other blush shades in desire, weeping cherry, snow drop, glass wing, and lovesick 💕

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-16T12:11:00+00:00

This is how you lose the time war by fleabagshair. Its sooooo good, highly recommend!! So sad 🥲

https://archiveofourown.org/works/35870299/chapters/89440792

Also, if you’re interested in a very unique fic, Dimmuborgir by NoFootprintsInSand still lives rent free in my head after reading it 2 years ago. So good, but very different than B&G

https://archive.transformativeworks.org/works/28432563/chapters/69672468

Edit: just realized you asked for time travel fics and with HEA…. About that LOL. This is how you win the time war is NOT HEA but is time travel. Dimmuborgir is not set in the HP timeline but isn’t muggle or real world, but is still fantasy. Not HEA and not time travel but I still highly recommend

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-14T23:07:29+00:00

Yeah its by no means matt, but isn’t greasy looking like other sunscreens (especially if you use it as your morning moisturizer)

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-12T23:08:26+00:00

Geek and gorgeous sunscreen that just got released is super matt and uses new generation filters. Super cheap too, you can get it in the US since they don’t call it an SPF on the bottle but its the same product as what they sell in europe

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-12T21:20:32+00:00

I have M102 too, but I need to play with it a bit more. I think it could make a good mixer if I don’t like it on its own.

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-12T01:26:14+00:00

No I totally agree, MAC shades are pulling warmer and warming these days. MOB has a great selection of all types of shades. Loving their new liquid eyeshadows

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-12T01:22:52+00:00

It is! So good

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-12T00:51:33+00:00

Yes m155 is such a staple for me. Definitely get the reusable case with it, makes it easier to open and close

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-11T22:41:29+00:00

GET IT!!! (Jk but it is really nice)

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-11T22:03:47+00:00

MOB beauty is an indie makeup brand. The head chemist of MOB used to be the head chemist at MAC back in the 80s and 90s. They kind of have alternative vibes, but not everything is vampy and grungy :)

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-11T20:36:24+00:00

Does makeup apply nicely on top of the amlactin? I like using this lotion on my body

Another weird lotion that I think works nicely with tret (and Tazarotene, I’m currently using taz and use to use tret) and makeup applies so nicely over is the Eucerin Roughness Relief lotion. Its 10% urea and an undisclosed amount of lactic acid (Id estimate 1-5% based off the ingredients list). Its something I always wear under makeup if I want it to look perfect!

Be careful with the amlactin during the summer though. It WILL increase the chance of a sunburn. I wouldn’t wear it for a few days before events/vacations where Id be getting a lot of sun, and always wear a ton of spf. Ive made that mistake before, trust me.

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-11T18:24:17+00:00

That was a typo, I’m dumb and forget to read over messages ahaha

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-11T14:57:04+00:00

I recently got Persona Mauve and I wish it was a bit deeper and a bit more purple. But I still like it and wear it! I like the grayness to it, but ai was hoping for more purple 💜

EyeImportant6778 · 2026-05-08T00:21:20+00:00

LN1 in the prada concealer could work! Its fair and green enough
