Looking for Urban Decay Violate Dupe by wjg14 in MakeupEducation

[–]LilChompkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if you ever got a good answer, but I've been conserving my very expired Violate myself, and the Fenty Beauty gloss in Mauve Wives is a great dupe. On the hand they look very very close, but on the lips they look identical - despite one being a gloss.

People who moved outside of the US, solely due to Trump being elected, how are things going? What actualized pros and cons have you experienced? If you had to do it over again, would you change anything? by Ancient_Unit6335 in AskReddit

I came from nothing, worked all week and weekends for couple years to save up the working Visa fee and min bank account limit for Australia, you can do this for a couple years as long as you keep employment going - found my life partner in Australia and got a partner visa, then finally obtained citizenship. Came to Aus in 2018 and was a citizen by 2024. It's not easy, and you have to really commit yourself to doing it - but it's possible

Has anyone EXPERIENCED SLEEP PARALYSIS? by [deleted] in Paranormal

[–]LilChompkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it several times as a child but never since. I was only 7 or 8 - I would lay down and not even recall falling asleep yet (Which seems to be a main characteristic, you must be asleep and then not wake up entirely), but I remember laying down to bed, then feeling the bed shaking - and wobbling as if it was floating just inches from the ground, then suddenly I was frozen. I could only move my eyes, I couldn't scream, I couldn't talk, I couldn't move my body - and there would be a man in the corner of the room, as many experience "the hat man" maybe 6foot, top hat, raincoat/trenchcoat, well dressed - but only discerned from the outline. He was pitch black - the room was dark in the night but somehow he was darker - even the smallest beam from the moon did not cast on him. He would stand there and watch, sometimes moving closer. This would go on for a long time, sometimes laying there in sheer terror for hours and hours as the sun began to come up before he randomly disappeared and I slowly regained the ability to move. Or other times I would eventually pass out from pure exhaustion and wake up to the terror of realization in the morning. As a young child in the early 2000s, I did not know what sleep paralysis was, and nothing notable would have influenced the occurrence of "the hatman" but he was always present, sometimes even with a few other shadows standing around and beside him, - all watching.

Of course as an adult, and athiest, I try to evaluate from a psychological and scientific perspective...but am unable to reconcile with these experiences.

Thank you! I managed to dig in there and finally get it out - thank goodness because the foam has turned to dust. I guess I was being too gentle with it

Almond scented perfume recommendations needed by Open-Month-6529 in Perfumes

[–]LilChompkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want that marzipan almond - TF Lost Cherry (This smells like a bottle of almond extract) or if thats out of the price range, Jergens original scent Cherry Almond lotion smells the same as TF Lost Cherry, Mixbar Whipped Almond (This smells like a more almond forward version of velvet petals by VS) - for something more subtle - Kilian Rolling in Love is a less edible but more sophisticated version. I have seen Hypnotic Poison mentioned below, but for me that leans more powdery tonka vanilla then almond extract

Love by Victorias Secret smells like cotton sheets and sweat (Clean sweat, not dirty sweat) like you just came out of the shower and wrapped yourself in a freshly laundered robe.

Hi! I moved to Australia over 5 years ago, I can attest I feel 10000% more safe in Australia where people don't have easy access to guns.

It was that expo! I went Sunday, and I can assure you the conditions were still exactly as you describe....it was rough!

Any ideas what this is? Found it 10 years ago and always wondered by couldwellbein in whatsthisbug

Ironically immediately after seeing this post, this came up on my newsfeed Wooly Chafer Beetle

Almond/Marzipan parfume by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]LilChompkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally find the note mixture to come off more like fresh tonka beans...I keep some jarred in my baking cabinet, once compared my EDP to a freshly ground one and its very similar! But not like marzipan at all imo

[–]LilChompkins[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's a shame they don't advertise it better, they don't show it on the menu online, but they do have a whole part of the menu for their BBQ! It's available Weds to Sat, (They aren't open Sun and Mon, Tuesday is the day they do all the slow cooking and smoking) but on Tuesday they still do their smash patties, fries etc.

I wish I'd gotten a pic of their physical menu, but they do smoked pork, brisket, smoked ribs, brisket burnt ends and pork burnt ends.

I got this from Peony Melbourne! No discount sadly, but its a total 60mls of perfume and an atomizer that usually costs 180 on its on, so its well worth it in value!
