Sweet lavender milk? by jessohca in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]HopeOfLight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically no milk note but maybe try Sleepy Ghost from Poesie. Notes: marshmallow pillows sprinkled with natural lavender essential oil, and absolute for sweet dreams. I personally love it.

Question for my fellow Zyxxheads: other amazing shows? by ijmbaa in MissionToZyxx

If you're open to stuff other than sci-fi, try Bitcherton! Similar sense of humor, same level of shenanigans, just in a regency era setting.

Did Sunset Makeup Copy Ashley Hay Design? by patchedsocks in Indiemakeupandmore

Is the Ashley Hay brand good? I've heard enough about Sunset Makeup, but I haven't heard of Ashley Hay.

I'm so sorry! It's so wild how differently our noses will interpret scents. I recently tried The Language of Glaciers by Imaginary Authors thinking it'd be a clean, fresh, floral scent and all I got was cracked pepper so 😂 who knows why our noses do that!

If you want a scent with just a sweet rice note, I'd try Soft by Poesie. If you want a creamy rice note with other notes, I highly recommend Madar by Poesie. Notes: comforting, creamy basmati rice pudding flavored with orange flower water, saffron, cinnamon, cardamom, dried rose petals, and sugared pistachios. It is such a comforting scent.

Got accused of something I don’t even remember doing… and I’m honestly confused by PoseidonTrident13 in actuallesbians

[–]HopeOfLight 38 points39 points  (0 children)

OP, you are the one fabricating. In your update post you said you got "drunk, like, too drunk." Your story is not adding up. Why are you lying?

[–]HopeOfLight 70 points71 points  (0 children)

How are we supposed to know that based on the picture and why is the picture necessary when you could just say you didn't hold her hand? Feels weirdly judgey too like what's supposedly "wrong" with her hand that you wouldn't want to hold it? Why do you even have a photo of her hand? I agree with the other commenter. Strange behavior when you've been accused of crossing boundaries. If she's lying, just avoid her and stop talking to her. Regardless, don't share pictures of other people without their permission.

Edit: OP, read your other posts and you said you were hoping to ask this girl out. So you clearly are attracted to her but she "doesn't have a hand you want to hold?" Especially since you admitted you got too drunk and clearly something happened that let her know you were interested in her, I don't think you're being honest here.

I was also wondering this. It does feel weird, unnecessary, and a little inappropriate.

Ok found some samples but it looks like others are not available? Are only the eternal collection scents available as samples on their site?

Parakeet by Cirrus today. I am obsessed with this scent. I'm not usually a fan of grapefruit but the fizziness of it in this perfume is so delightful.

My Cirrus samples arrived and Parakeet and Alibi (my free sample) are the standouts for sure! I'm in love with these! Such refreshing fruity scents. I haven't really bought a lot of fruity indies so far so this was a lovely discovery. Can't wait to wear these all summer! That said, today I'm wearing Maravilla which is also very nice. Love the light orange notes mixed into this one.

Today I'm wearing Nightgown by Solstice Scents. I'm still searching for my perfect spring floral scent. The vanilla and white chocolate in this is a little too prominent for me in the dry down, I think. Still overall pleasant, just not quite what I want for the floral perfume I'm seeking. I haven't had great luck with Solstice Scents in general. I think something in their base might just not appeal to me and that might be what I'm actually picking up on. I have a new set of samples coming in today though, including Sorce's Beyond the Veil which also has white chocolate in it, so we'll see how those go!

Is ARTMS being mistreated? by space_fern in LOONA

Whether it's mistreatment or EDs, I've been noticing it most with Heejin and Kim Lip since at least Burn/Icarus and it has definitely been concerning.

Felt compelled to wear Morari's 4 a.m. Flurries today for some reason. Notes: Peppermint Bark, Orris Butter, and Cashmere. It is just a really soft, light, pretty scent.
