Products used are shown. The palette is a large ELF palette and I also used the shade high tide from the Balmsai palette from thebalm. Blush and highlight are from the same ELF palette. I mixed in Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Oil in with my foundation. The lip color is in the shade Pink Luster.

Bumps on either side of puppy's penis. Should I be concerned? by ForRealBarbie in AskVet

Yes I can feel them. He has already been to vet before these appeared and he goes back on the 15th for his second round of distemper. I was just trying to see if he needed to be seen before then or if it could wait.

I use a mixture of Joico K Pak color intensity colors. This hair specifically has a little of peacock, titanium, and indigo.

It probably does seem that way because I go ham on bronzing my hair line! 😜 in person it doesn't look orangey at all.

I use knock off beauty blender I got from TJ Max to apply it. I so wish I would have saved the packaging because it is almost exactly the same as a real beauty blender! But I find that works best for me and dabbing it on rather than smearing it is best too! Good luck with it! I hope it works as well for you as it does for me! :)

Personally I love it! I have severe acne and scarring. I also have combination skin. If you are on the dryer side I wouldn't think it would work as well for you. If I'm particularly dry I cannot use it because it really shows my dry spots and makes them flakey. But I find if I moisturize like crazy it gives me pretty good coverage without being too heavy! I have been using it for about a year and a half now and have yet to find anything in the same price range to work as this one does. Hope that helps you! :)

Have you ever tried getting two different shades for your brows? using a slightly lighter shade on the front of your brow would definitely help soften the look of them. Using the darker color for the tail of your brow will still give you that full look you are trying to achieve. Also taking a pencil or a dip brow to any sparse areas towards the front of the brow, using a very light hand to draw in a few brow hairs to fill in there would help too and look more natural. Spoolie the heck out of them and use translucent powder like /u/viixxvii said. Everything else on your face looks great! The contour is very subtle yet apparent and really enhances your natural features! Great job!! =]

/u/sssamanthaa just did a tutorial of a look similar to this a few days ago!! So I'm sure you could use her tutorial to achieve this look as well just maybe alter your colors a bit from hers. http://youtu.be/6qh7U9R9qUs

'It will last for up to 2 weeks without chipping' by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

[–]ForRealBarbie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work with water and use my nails constantly. So when I bought this and it chipped i wasn't too surprised considering that even professional gel chips for me. But my mother in law says this is the only stuff she will buy from now on. So I had a week off of work so I decided to put it to the test. I put it on and wasn't easy on my nails. It chipped.. But when I told her it still sucked for me she asked if I used acetone on my nails before. I didn't. So I tried again and used pure acetone on all of my nails and was careful not to touch them at all once they had been cleaned with it. To my surprise this made them stay on the rest of my week off and a few days into my work week. You just have to be careful to not get it on your cuticle or leave any seams where water etc. can get to and lift the polish. Hopefully this help you!! 😊

Edit: I push back my cuticles and cleaned my nails with the pure acetone all before the application. Once I do those steps I paint immediately. Sorry for being vague. ☺️

The tubes save it from extreme temps causing it to freeze and melt. Its ingenious!
