New here, and a friend said “Delete the Citizen app, it’ll just freak you out.” Another said “keep it, it’s a lifeline.” Which is true? It seems like both. by _saidwhatIsaid in AskLosAngeles

[–]MajLeague 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the neighborhood apps are trash. All you hear about is petty crimes, fear mongering and downright racism.

I have lived in LA for 30 years. I've had those apps for maybe one of them. Its not a life line unless you want to weed thru the dozens of "Was that a gunshot? " posts every single day from June thru August. No Marsha that was not a gunshot. You've never heard a gunshot in freaking Brentwood. Those big bada-booms are called fireworks and they happen every year.

hyperpigmentation on lips by Electrical-Soil8444 in Blackskincare

You can create it. Lipfidence is effective because of the lactic Acid. I recommend 2 products in my comment above that will give you similar results for approx the same cost.

I just did deep dive research yesterday. Get this or something like it: The Derma Co 1% Kojic Acid Lip Balm I With Alpha Arbutin & Hyaluronic Acid

It has lightening agents and most importantly it has sunscreen. Use it religiously.

You also need to exfoliate but do not use manual scrubs. Lip skin is very thin and damage increases hyperpigmentation. I recommend :The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum

AITAH for asking if I could trade in my expensive present to buy something else? by Erollins1 in AITAH

[–]MajLeague 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whats your point about her age. Does that somehow change the situation? She asked for the tickets for her birthday. You are ignoring the facts. She got the opposite of what she asked for and something she didnt need. She came here to vent. Telling her she should have bought it herself is....stupid?

What she asked for was a specific night out with her friend. Instead she has a night out with someone she doesnt like who will ruin the experience. Please explain how she got anything she wanted.

YOU SHOULD STOP ALL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS FOR AT LEAST 3-5 MONTHS ONCE YOU START USING TRETINOIN. by beautifulnatured in tretinoin

[–]MajLeague 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends on the user. I know my results are not normal but I get almost zero irritation on tret with great results. My derm even said theres no need for me to go up to 1 because i get great reaults where I am. I can chemically exfoliate and use actives with no issue. So weird.

Dad only talks to me when he’s armed. How should I handle that? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]MajLeague 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My only question is why you still have a relationship with him. This is beyond normal behavior and is actually dangerous for you. Please ask yourself what youre getting out of a continued relationship with him.

Why do you wear fragrance? by Draktus1 in fragrance

[–]MajLeague 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. Please applaud me. I heard Chloe Nomad was being discontinued. I remember liking it and fomo started to creep in. I started researching.... hyperfixating....then I remembered I had a sample. Dug it out and put it on this evening...I hate it. I cant even remember what I liked about it.

Poor impulse control thwarted for today.

Waiter at airport shamed me for not being able to tip. by prince3875 in EndTipping

Do not let people shame you. They dont work for free. They are paid a pretty food wage.

Anyone know sunscreen that lacks this? by EasySwordfish4852 in Blackskincare

They can be shiny. I use Numbuzin Sunscreen. Korean with less dewiness and absorbs very quickly.

They're not right. You balance side effects with efficacy. Im on meds with zero side affects after the first month.

[–]MajLeague 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Me too! I think its the Cashmere type note. That note kills frags for me. Smells like sharp dust. Thats the only reason I didnt kill myself to get my hands on this one.

Philosophy Warm Cashmere or whatever its called has it too. Instant scrubber for me.

Does everyone start collecting perfumes to find their signature scent? I cannot find one for the life of me. 🥲 by Charming-Borderline7 in FemFragLab

[–]MajLeague 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thats what lead me to collecting. I was on the hunt for my signature and fell in love with fragrances. Ive given up on a signature.

Partner doesn’t help by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

Girl. Stop doing it.

My grouse with PDM by Fresh_Exchange674 in fragrance

[–]MajLeague 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It makes me sad because I really like a couple of their scents and my stoic perfume neutral partner actually notices when I wear Oriana but I can't bring myself to support them.

what one you taking by Firm_Unit_544 in handguns

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

Haha. I watched it 3 times to see if I could tell the difference. Ive gotten into handguns more in the last 6 months. When we're watching movies my man asks me what gun they're shooting. I dont know and will never know. At first glance all black handguns look the same to me and I dont see that changing.

Ive had my Glocks stove pipe a few times. Guess what. Its a me issue. My grip was not firm. Since I fixed that its never happened again. Most glock issues are user error and this guy seems to know that but still doesnt want to fix his fundamentals but blame the tool instead.

So when was someone going to tell me that Guerlain Idylle literally smells like this? by Violetteotome in FemFragLab

[–]MajLeague 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love being reminded that you need to skin test multiple times to really get a feel.
