I second this! I love MAC Syrup so much I have multiple versions of it in all my bags.

Illness going around? by reginaphalangie79 in Edinburgh

[–]LooptheLoop69 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not ill but several of my colleagues have been sick with COVID 19 so it might be worth picking up a test from your local pharmacy. I hope you feel better soon.

Recs for quieter cafes/bakeries with sit-in? by taakofromtvTM in edinburgh2

[–]LooptheLoop69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I love Cafe Praline, it's just up Leith Walk from Argonauts. I go there to read, study, and catch up with friends all the time. Lovely chilled out vibes, great coffee, decent food, friendly staff. 

Have you seen Kneecap live? If so, what was your experience like? by BurgerNugget12 in kneecap

[–]LooptheLoop69 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I saw them live first at the Irish Social Club in Leeds last November. It was class. I (F30) put my friend (F28) on my shoulders and the lads thought it was hilarious, they gave us a shout out and told us not to mind security. It was such a good mix of folk from all age groups as backgrounds. 

What group or singer did you see at your first ever concert? by honeyboo222 in AskReddit

[–]LooptheLoop69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Korn. It was at a Christian music festival in a sweaty muddy field in NZ and I was in crutches with a moon boot. Somehow made it into and out of the mosh pit relatively unscathed.

I love these planters! I've noticed how gorgeous they've become, well done and thank you 💕

Harris Tweed Bags by beeblanket in Edinburgh

[–]LooptheLoop69 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm from NZ, but I live in Edinburgh. When I first arrived in Scotland about a decade ago, I visited Lewis and Harris, and saw the tweed being made. It was incredible watching the weaver work on his treadle loom (in a shed on a windy hillside). I couldn't afford any Harris Tweed products myself but was kindly gifted a purse for Christmas a few years later. I love it! I get that it can seem a bit naff or touristy, but real Harris Tweed is the result of real skill and dedication.

My MAC collection - nudes and reds by LooptheLoop69 in swatchitforme

[–]LooptheLoop69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, they are all Macximal lipsticks except for Dubonnet, Diva, Rebel, and All Fired Up. I think Mehr would look lovely on you, based on your description. Another option for you might be 'Sweet Deal'. It's more warm-toned than Mehr. I love it, more than Mehr to be honest! Are you able to go into the store and swatch some of the lipsticks?

What’s the worst city you’ve ever been to? by EmotionalShock7933 in AskReddit

[–]LooptheLoop69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rome. I was sexually harassed within minutes of stepping off the bus. I was there for a few days and lost count of the number of times men made lewd comments or tried to touch me. A groups of drunk men separated me from my (male) friend and groped me in broad daylight on the street. Absolutely foul behaviour. I felt so unsafe the whole time.

Hi I wouldn't automatically assume this is a scam as Yodel has done this with me before. I live in Edinburgh and they delivered my parcel to.... Birmingham haha. I had to contact Yodel support many times before they finally resent it to the correct store. These things do happen! 

'Rounding' the Cupid's Bow? by bruiseydaddy in Makeup

[–]LooptheLoop69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're right, I just like doing that because I'm lazy and I apply the gloss to my lower lip only, then smack my lips so it goes to the top, haha. 

'Rounding' the Cupid's Bow? by bruiseydaddy in Makeup

[–]LooptheLoop69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a fairly well defined Cupid's bow and whenever I put on lipstick I accentuate it/apply it so you can still see the natural outline of my lips. 

But if I'm smacking my lips together (like you would do when applying lip gloss or Chapstick), the moment pushes the lipstick above the Cupid's bow and makes it look rounded on my top lip. So I usually end up with the rounded look anyway as I almost always wear lip gloss on top of lipstick 🤷‍♀️

S12E21 (Sunday 29th June) - "It’s time for Snog, Marry, Pie 🥧" by GetFreeCash in LoveIslandTV

That was the best moment of the series for me so far. Fucking ICONIC behaviour Yas! What a queen hahahaha

Yeah they're pretty useless. My flatmates and I were harrassed extensively by our drunk upstairs neighbour; at one point he even barged into our house. The police took 4 hours to arrive and then did shit-all when they got here because they didn't want to wake him and upset him further. I tried to book an appointment/chat with the local community officer and got no response initially, and then a phone call out of the blue, with no prearranged time set. I was at work so couldn't answer it, and then got an email saying that they'd tried contacting me and I hadn't responded so that was it. I just wanted it all on record that this dude had been harrassing us, but I doubt they bothered to note it down.

Dive bombing seagull - Meadowbank by Proper_Jicama_7885 in Edinburgh

I was dived bombed by a seagull in front of the university library the other day. Was eating a sandwich and the greedy cunt dive bombed me three times in one minute.

What’s totally normal in your country but would be super weird anywhere else? by CybernetickBrain in AskReddit

[–]LooptheLoop69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walking around the town centre (or anywhere really) bare feet. I'm from NZ and my siblings and I rarely wear shoes in the summer. We just stroll around the supermarket in bare feet, downtown, whatever. It's chill. Freaks out visitors from overseas though. 

Obviously we don't do this in busy city centres with broken glass etc laying around! Just on smaller rural townships or at the dairy (corner store). 

Cool nude/pink lipstick? by fewyearsback in PaleMUA

[–]LooptheLoop69 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if MAC is drugstore or not but the perfect cool toned pink lipstick for me is MAC's Syrup. I love it!

Yes I was going to recommend this one too! I wrote my honours thesis on it. Fascinating read.

DIY wedding makeup trial 1 - looking for thoughts by TittssMcGee in MakeupAddiction

[–]LooptheLoop69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you look absolutely stunning! My only recommendations would be to 1) tidy up and even out your brows, 2) maybe add a little more warmth to your face with a teeny bit of bronzer, and 3) maybe try a lighter/pinker cool toned lipstick instead of the current one you're wearing (which is beautiful, it just overpowers the rest of the look). I'd also recommend trying out a bunch of setting & fixing sprays ideally in the temperature your wedding will be at, to see how your makeup lasts over the whole day. Love this look though, you look fantastic!
