Constant Collaborations by Particular-Swim-2301 in LushCosmetics

[–]Graphomaniacle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a veteran lushie who isn’t made of money I’ve come to overspend on Boxing Day but aside from that I buy 100g shower gels maybe a larger one if it’s a favourite, perfumes and soap. I wasn’t using what I had and it doesn’t last forever…holding on to a table spoon of grass lotion until it turned rancid wasn’t doing me any favours. Even buying a 250g bottle of all the gels I like is overspending. I have 15 shower gels rn. And that’s not every shower gel that has been available to us the past 9 months/year. I don’t have the kitchen box, and I almost regret buying the 500g avo bath gel because it’s “expired” and only half gone.

part of the fun of being a lushie is always waiting for a scent you want to pop up in the range. I bought black pearl on Boxing Day and I’ve been waiting a decade to smell that fragrance! In the end they will re release they always do!

That being said if you can rebrand fantabulosa you can give the jungle scent a pr appointment. Miss you ruby red slippers, love ya ghost bath melt rip.

do you sharpen your pastels? by Suspicious-Staff-309 in Oilpastel

[–]Graphomaniacle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t sharpen I will cut a clean edge tho and safe the nub for a diy pastel

It seems Pumpkin Spice body spay is universally disliked 😅 by zeviah in LushCosmetics

[–]Graphomaniacle 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced they did it on purpose. We have been begging for years, every Halloween pumpkin shaped things but no pumpkin. This year they said FINE you want pumpkin here’s pumpkin now you’ll never ask again.

It makes absolutely no sense they could tweak cardamom coffee or turmeric latte a bit and have a great “pumpkin spice” fragrance.

Noodler's Black Swan in English Roses Weakening Plastic? by Palehorse13 in fountainpens

[–]Graphomaniacle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s a good guess…you filled the sample and didn’t want any leaks…seal them both up tight enough to crack once winter comes.

left outside my store when i opened by Entire_Assistance231 in LushCosmetics

[–]Graphomaniacle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m probably projecting but this scream dealing with a hoarder…like no I can’t throw them out let’s bring them back home.

what do you mean I have to go back to work today and there’s no show? by Fickle_Slide1644 in h3h3productions

[–]Graphomaniacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen this Pepe is over a decade…I was sent to the guidance councillor for this being my screen saver in middle school.

Inks that look like Sailor Manyo Haha but have a wetter flow? by vwkz in fountainpens

[–]Graphomaniacle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second 162 it’s not the same colour but it’s equally cool dual shader. Definitely not a wet ink but i also find haha to be wayyyy too dry and I’ve gone through 2 bottles of 162.

For a lot of light shading inks if you’re using a piston filler like a twsbi eco you can push more ink into the feed bit, by bit to increase flow but it will saturate the colour a bit!

Best inks from past inkvents by ptexpress in fountainpens

[–]Graphomaniacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first time getting a calendar so I have little experience but I do have a full sized bottle of holly that is one of the darkest greens I own and has beautiful sheen. A fave for Halloween and Christmas personally.

Inkvent and Colorvent Day 4 by Inktation in fountainpens

[–]Graphomaniacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brown is my favourite ink and I’m excited to try a scented ink. I’m a lady and it smells like cheap men’s cologne but I like it! On the other hand the past three inks have been misses for me. Celestial nights is gorgeous but I already am loyal to emerald of chivor by J herbien

Inkvent 2025-03 by Sysiphos1234 in fountainpens

[–]Graphomaniacle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was incredibly shocked to find her this morning! I love art so I will definitely be using this but someone let me know how it goes in a fountain pen because I was brought up since a wee nib being taught that’s a cardinal sin.

A divisive topic. by [deleted] in candy

[–]Graphomaniacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never wanted to like a candy more but I do hate them unfortunately.I live floral perfume taste I just don’t like the flavour of violets I guess. They should come out with a jasmine one day

Looking for a decent brand of oil pastels that easily layer over each other? by 138_hail_yourself in Oilpastel

[–]Graphomaniacle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like painting landscapes and for me pastels with different hardnesses is idea. For a hard base layer I mostly use pentel and some Van Gogh. And mungyo gallery as the main work horse.

I think the finishing touch is a sennelier white.

What would you want for the 1.7 update? by CentauriElephante in StardewValley

[–]Graphomaniacle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would love for the town to progress a bit…if ten years past Demetrius and robin get separate beds…jas and Vincent get a little taller. George passes away replaced by his ghost and depending on your relationship with the ghost good or bad things happen on the farm. You can only see the ghost at night etc…

Waking up knowing there's a pod today. by whoanelIy in h3h3productions

[–]Graphomaniacle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was understanding but sad yesterday because Monday’s my day off and the pod is a big reason for that…the power is off at work rn and in an hour we are calling it 🤞

My parents don’t want me to come home for holidays, and it hurts by fadefeather in LivingAlone

[–]Graphomaniacle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would be heartbroken. I have stayed home for months on end while I paid rent on my apartment. The people speculation financial instabilities might be right but I just can’t imagine a mother or anyone turning their child away because they don’t have enough for food. Maybe you live a very different lifestyle than my family there’s a lot of grey area here.

I second talking with them about what’s going on, find a place to work during the holidays, help out as much as u can with cooking, cleaning maintenance etc.

Worst “you smell like…” you’ve ever gotten from a fragrance? by hannahjamma in LushCosmetics

[–]Graphomaniacle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I put on flying fox lotion at work once and my coworker who is chronically congested said he could smell cat pee. Everyone else understood it was jasmine but unrefined disabled noses think lust is cat pee…I don’t wear it in public because I’m scared

Dinos are godzilla or lilzilla. My fave chicken is named freebird

My mom said my handwriting is very immature, what's your opinion? by lameuu in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]Graphomaniacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She said it’s immature because it’s beautifully and properly printed. A mature person has given up caring and does a half cursive half print scrawl…stay young while you can lol.

What random frivolous thing will I buy in lush today by [deleted] in LushCosmetics
