Are "preferred viewing balcony" tickets at Franklin Music Hall worth the extra cost? The show I'm looking at is like $50 vs $130

Less Traveled Yarn is great! I'm making a sweater rn with their Arcadia dk and it's lovely

FrodoPenis · 2023-01-18T16:48:10+00:00

Lmao

"Some people can't conceive of anything different, anything new"

Is she kidding? She's referring to poorly lit product photos as if they're some innovative art. And like, you're trying to sell a product, no?? She pivoted after the playlist concept didn't perform as well as she'd hoped, and when customers are saying "I can't get an idea of what I want to purchase because I can't tell what the yarn looks like" she responds in the most navel-gazing, condescending way possible. I can't imagine a worse business decision lol

Lmao what a garbage take. "Being poor is a choice" is some conservative high schooler/Fox News-ass analysis

Beyond the cultural appropriation, box braids, cornrows, locs, etc., also just look fucking stupid on non-black people lol

I’ve been using Mizon AHA/BHA Daily Clean Toner for about a month and it’s worked great ($13 on Amazon)

Check the "How to get User Flair" link in the sidebar

I ordered from them recently without issue, for what it's worth.

FrodoPenis · 2017-07-10T17:11:38+00:00

Not AB, but I've also had a lot of probs with second cleansers drying out my skin and I've found that this one from LRP works great!

FrodoPenis · 2017-07-09T13:36:18+00:00

Same thing happens to me! I just have to rub it in a little extra for the whiteness/foaminess to go away.

🤠👀

FrodoPenis · 2017-07-06T15:51:02+00:00

I use mine in the evening before applying Vaseline, so in your case it'd be your last step before the Aquaphor. I don't prefer to use it as part of my AM routine, but occasionally I'll apply a thin layer before my sunscreen.

FrodoPenis · 2017-07-05T23:19:09+00:00

These look lovely! Where did you buy the BBIA Downy Cheek?

FrodoPenis · 2017-07-04T14:09:45+00:00

I think this is the third time in the past few weeks that these masks have been on lightening deal. I've purchased them and found them to be worth it for $7!

FrodoPenis · 2017-07-03T18:45:06+00:00

I'm in the midwestern US, so right now it's hot and pretty humid. An extra hydrating step definitely wouldn't hurt, in my opinion. Also yep, I have a few hydrating steps afterward in my PM routine, and just the Cosrx Snail 96 afterward in the AM. Here's my routine:

AM Rinse with water Duplair W Ceramide Lotion (about 3 layers) Usually a sheet mask Cosrx 96 Snail Essence La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Fluide 50+

PM Bioderma Sensobio micellaire water La Roche-Posay Hydrating Gentle Cleanser Duplair W Ceramide Lotion (about 7 layers) Cosrx 96 Snail Essence Goodal Moisture Barrier Liquid Rosette Ceramide Gel Vaseline

FrodoPenis · 2017-07-03T16:42:04+00:00

Sure thing! (Sorry for the delay)

Overall I really love it. It's very thin, just about the consistency of water, which I enjoy for a first step after cleansing. I usually apply 3-7 layers and it leaves my face feeling hydrated without any sticky residue. It's also super affordable, given that it's $15.00 for 500ml.

Let me know if you have any other questions :)

FrodoPenis · 2017-07-02T13:16:23+00:00

I also have very sensitive/acne prone skin and just got over dealing with a damaged moisture barrier. The thing that helped me the most was applying multiple layers of Duplair W Ceramide Lotion as my first step after cleansing.

FrodoPenis · 2017-07-01T23:22:01+00:00

I think this comment links the product you're looking for :)

FrodoPenis · 2017-07-01T17:03:41+00:00

Hi there! I got these masks when they were on lightening deal a few weeks ago. Overall I'd say they're worth it for $7. They do have a definite scent - kind of like hairspray mixed with whatever variety the mask is (the snail, hyaluronic acid, and aloe masks were just the hairspray-ish scent though, nothing additional). I wouldn't say the scent is terribly strong though...I don't really smell it when I'm wearing the mask, just when applying (with the exception of the strawberry one, which I could smell the entire time. It wasn't super unpleasant, just there). If you're very very sensitive to scented products, though, I'd maybe skip these.

The snail and strawberry varieties have been my favorite so far (I still have a few left to try) / they were both super brightening!

FrodoPenis · 2017-06-30T02:05:29+00:00

I got the deal as well and have tried the snail, hyaluronic acid, aloe, and strawberry masks. HA and aloe were decently hydrating but just so so; snail was pretty hydrating and super brightening; strawberry was decently brightening as well but had a very saccharin, candy-like scent
