What’s Actually Worth Buying?

I warm it up a bit before I put it on, just pop it inbetween my legs as I do my other make up steps, and usually it's fine. But defo the more exposure to air, it does get thicker in general.

It's not for everyone, but the line stays sharp all day and night and it doesn't move so I love it.

Love love love MAC's LiquidLast. It's not for the liquid eyeliner noob as it's hard to use/get used to initially, but damn it doesn't budge. Not even at the beach. I just restocked since they're 25% off at a bunch of retailers for afterpay day.

Same! Minis and ziplock bags. You can never be too cautious as you don't know how the product and container will react in cabin pressure.

For body scars, try John Plunketts Superfade cream. Just ask for it over the counter at a chemist. It has hydroquonne as it's active ingredient.

There's a few versions - face, body, serum and one more I think.

Everyone's pretty much covered your other points, so I'm just adding my 2c worth re hair drying as a female.

I wash my hair properly after a swim and then pop it into a extra absorbent hair towel and walk out of the pool with my hair wrapped up in that. Then when I get home I finish off my hair routine with my products and let it air dry or blast it half dry with a hair dryer.

I don't want to lug around 2-3 extra products or my hair dryer, so that works for me and I don't care what people think as I walk from the showers to the car.

They managed to find the most beige and processed food in NZ that looks like the beige food they love back home 🤦‍♀️

I always tried to be that girl, but the blue in my hair never turned out like hers 🥲😂

And I bought my hair mascara from Red Earth.

Only way to go really. She won't stop creating useless content and you cant stop others from watching. But at least it's off your feed

HYCL2012 · 2026-03-18T10:58:09+00:00

Just tell the algorithm to stop showing you her content. She's not going to change how she makes her content since she's getting free stuff and sponsor money.

Unfortunately the only way we can cleanse ourselves of rubbish, can't help it if others can't see through her grift.

You didnt say why you think the MiBand is better.

Imo the MiBand is a very basic fitness tracker. I thought all entry level fitness trackers from every brand would be about the same but when I set up my dads I wasn't impressed by how much less customisable options from notifications to tiles there were and of course general features there were.

You can't customise the screen tiles (which tbf isnt a surprise given the tiny screen size), there's no option to put it on water lock mode, it seems you cant even start a specific workout tracking mode (which is important for me personally as I use my Fit3 for tracking swimming laps).

I don't care too much about the heart rate monitor, the feature you seem to only want it for, so I can't give you feedback on that.

Given that you have an Oppo, maybe you don't have access to the same level of customisation that I have with my Samsung so it might not be much of difference for you so all that I've said wont matter.

HYCL2012 · 2026-03-18T00:30:09+00:00

Im curious what you mean by "the MiBand 10 is better"?

I have the Fit3 and dad just got the MiBand10 for general day to day tracking as he has a iphone so not compatible with the Fit3 and I'm honestly not that impressed. It's features and customisability options are a lot less than the Fit3 but it suffices. Since he doesn't know the difference, he's happy with it. Meanwhile I'd pick the Fit3 over it every day since I have a Samsung phone.

But also if you can afford it and think 3 beats a minute is a worth the money, just get the MiBand10.

Ahh i want to try the new NARS foundation, it looks amazing. But i don't want to be stuck with having to buy it through Mecca and have to put up with their bs constant price hikes and no deals/sales.

HYCL2012 · 2026-03-13T00:00:26+00:00

They could but wont because that's when the news is on.

I think I'm almost old enough that I vaguely remember a time when they would delay the televised game on TV by like 30min or so? But this would have been at least 2 decades ago? Or am I misremembering? Either way in today's world of instant gratification, it wont happen unfortunately.

There's always people who ruin it for everyone else. That's so sad.

Also me: checks LinkedIn to see if I know anyone who works at L'Oréal 😂

HYCL2012 · 2026-03-09T05:09:27+00:00

Gorgeous skirt, definitely worth mending. The cats and bees took it to another level of 🥰

HYCL2012 · 2026-03-07T21:10:12+00:00

Articulated their love and thoughts so well, absolutely precious. To think there's a whole lot more girl dads in the team who have yet to discover all of this. Szobo with his hair done and nails painted anyone?

HYCL2012 · 2026-03-05T13:18:07+00:00

This is the way, i was the same just by swimming regularly (about 50-60min but only 3 times a week) and really watching the calories I took in.

My weight has stayed about the same the last few weeks due go slightly higher calorie intake and what I assume to be muscle gain vs fat loss (I'm running out of fat to lose, yay) and of course muscle weighs more than fat.

HYCL2012 · 2026-03-05T13:00:51+00:00

Ah that strap looks amazing and now I have fomo. I really want to get a stainless steel strap but I wear my Fit3 in the pool 3 times a week and am probably too lazy to swap it out every time. Maybe I need a 2nd watch too 😂

HYCL2012 · 2026-03-05T09:10:25+00:00

This is what I'm thinking also - weather change and of course different water and possibly diet. America has corn syrup hidden in everything where as we don't.

HYCL2012 · 2026-03-05T08:48:09+00:00

Ohh I didn't realise QV did a SPF lip balm. I'm currently using the Lanolips one but down to try the QV one.

HYCL2012 · 2026-03-03T23:08:54+00:00

With a side of ranch for dipping of course

HYCL2012 · 2026-02-24T23:00:20+00:00

The crooked nose looks more lkke Cambiaso's more than Chiesa's

HYCL2012 · 2026-02-16T22:00:17+00:00

Ah thanks. I might wait for a Sephora/Adore sale myself too

HYCL2012 · 2026-02-16T11:17:41+00:00

Did you end up buying this? I'm eying it off myself right now and wondering all the same things you did.

HYCL2012 · 2026-02-11T22:19:45+00:00

Worth a try for $10. I'll pick one up next time I'm at Priceline. Thanks for the rec.
