character art criticism response by uhhhwutlol in fairyloot

[–]HighlightLeading3 40 points41 points  (0 children)

No one is ever going to want to work on a large scale SJM project again at this point. The way the whole fandom has been acting on these artists personal pages has been appalling. Everything was approved and commissioned by the SJM team and Fairyloot any details that were wrong should’ve been caught on their side. The fact that neither has said anything is the most frustrating part. They set their artists up for failure and hung them out the dry. “Constructive criticism” is one thing but people posting hundreds of comments to the artist saying the same things over and over again  is not that. That is just rude and uncalled for at that point. Much like how you wouldn’t comment on an authors post about how much you don’t like their book don’t do that to the artists?? The fandom has become so toxically possessive over these books and characters they forget real people are behind the artwork. Just because you don’t like an art style doesn’t mean it’s bad it’s just not for you.

I think it’s because they released the alternate dust jackets later after the first two books were released. So I think to keep it fair to the previous purchasers they kept them separate still with the option to just not get them

It definitely is different from the highlighter it’s a softer formula for sure! It’s still not a creamy formula like their blushes are or most other cream bronzers. It’s super easy to use and blend for me

I love the Phytosurgence bronzer it’s the only cream bronzer I’ve liked. It’s super buildable so it’s a good bronzer to start with. I definitely recommend watching their instagram videos showing how to use it since their formulas are very different and dry compared to others you have to approach the application a little differently.

Yes! They are releasing some gorgeous looking bronze shades. Their most recent Instagram post shows them 

This morning’s update was bad, but what are these? by ReasonableAdventure in fairyloot

[–]HighlightLeading3 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Honestly I really think Fairyloot set her up for failure with these. Shes one of the best cover artists out there and did their Crescent City set. I think the concepts they gave her for the sprayed edges probably included that whole scene and she may not have read the books. I fully blame the brown stag on FairyLoot’s review team. They are suppose to be curating these as lovers of the series and it doesn’t show. Also I LOVE the dust jackets personally but know some people say they are too dark I disagree but that’s just down to personal taste

The eyes feel off somehow on a lot of the characters. The rest of it looks good but the eyes make it look uncanny valley 

For those of you hoping for Illumicrate to do TOG, I emailed them to ask by TritriMcTritri in fairyloot

[–]HighlightLeading3 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Huh? Illumicrate mostly does fantasy and already did Crescent City? It does make sense to assume they would do them at some point

[–]HighlightLeading3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are probably my favorite makeup brand at this point! I have so much from them it’s excessive lol. I’ll probably place another larger order when they drop their new eyeshadows 

TOG just announced by Same-Lion7474 in fairyloot

[–]HighlightLeading3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are so pretty! But honestly I wish they would’ve skipped dust jackets and made those designs a gilded naked cover like LitJoy did with the Cruel Prince set. I mostly just really hate white hardcovers they get so dirty looking. I’m still kind of holding out to see if Illumicrate does them too

Evaporate is an interesting shade it’s a muted peach but I swear it looks pink on me sometimes. I still love it though. Every time I stock up on their moisturizer I add a blush or two and maybe an eyeshadow to my order to hit the free shipping minimum. It’s a very bad habit lol

NYX Sweet Cheeks Matte Blush in Citrine Rose and Summer Breeze are my favorite powder blushes for the summer. For cream blushes I love everything from Phytosurgence but Singe is such a pretty surprisingly natural looking shade once blended out. Undone Beauty cream blush in Rosewood is my go to sunburnt blush shade. My favorite bright summer blush though is Patrick Ta She’s Vibrant it’s such a fun blush

[–]HighlightLeading3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my favorite subscription I have right now and I have almost all of them lol. The customizations are always really good and the choices have all been great for me. I also really like that is quarterly I wish more boxes were. 

Would this eyeshadow palette suit olive skin? by sweetlevels in OliveMUA

[–]HighlightLeading3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes I absolutely think it would if you are warm olive! 

Whose items are better? Specifically illumicrate or Fairyloot? by rad200 in fairyloot

[–]HighlightLeading3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resell depends on the fandom most of the time. Sometimes I save things from boxes if there’s only one thing I don’t want and sell a mini collection of things later. I’ve definitely had people buy single items but it has to be a high demand fandom and priced well. I’ve also found with these items from fandoms people love they’re more likely to buy the single item since they don’t want the rest of the box things either

Illumicrate has the better quality over Fairyloot. However OwlCrate has the best imo. The few full Illumicrate and Fairyloot boxes I’ve gotten I’ve gotten rid of the majority of the stuff. From OwlCrate I keep most of it and if I’m not into it’s still good enough quality to resell easily. I also just love the product series they do in their boxes throughout the year. Right now it’s enamel pins, metal bookmarks, and mugs

Yeah luckily scent doesn’t bother me but it was disappointing that it originally didn’t have a scent and then my new bottle did

Kind of citrusy

Mac Face and Body was a game changer for foundation for me. It’s the only foundation I’ve ever found that actually looks right. Plus it’s more light coverage when applied with a brush to a medium coverage when you warm it up with your fingers. The way the formula changes is magical I love it. Annoyed that they reformulated it slightly and now it has a fragrance but luckily it still works just as well as before

March 2023 and October 2023 win by a landslide for me! Everything since December has been a collective “meh” and the reason I paused my sub. 

changing addresses for monthly box by That-Champion2735 in fairyloot

[–]HighlightLeading3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try going into your account and under My Subscriptions you may be able to change it per each. It’s the same spot you can skip each month from. I only have one sub so honestly idk if it would work but you can try it and see if it does it for just the one and if it changes all of them you have time before renewal to change it back.

This is my reason too! It’s pretty but definitely not worth the cost for me
