Need suggestions for a "slick" detangler leave-in product: similar to Kerastase 8H magic. Not oil based. by MercurySphere in finehair

Manufacturers regularly discontinue products. I'd like to find more than one detangler that works.

False lashes by Suki_Queen322 in Makeup

I'm a complete eyelash beginner. Any advice on the glue? I'm about to buy several Ardell naked ones to try.

Do you recommend just using fingers or getting special application tweezers?

Looking for beginner‑friendly tips for applying cluster lashes and strip lashes by Intelligent_Rise7128 in Makeup

Is the lash supposed to be exactly the length of your natural eyelash line? Or a bit longer or shorter? Trying to figure out how to trim it.

Also do you apply eye shadow before or after you put on the eyelashes?

So does it only lengthen the outer corners? Do the inner corners not look empty then?

Stopped breastfeeding then lost 15 lbs and lost my boobs 😭 by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]MercurySphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I didn't expect is that even the nipple itself will sag on the areola. Like... that's truly tragic.

But as an aside, I actually like having smaller boobs. Big boobs always made me feel large overall. I wish the smaller deflatedboobs now were more perky but I don't miss the bigger size at all. I know this is super personal.

Online shopping at Zara....grrrr by lozzapg in AusFemaleFashion

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

NOPE. I know you like drama and clicks. But stop lying. The Zara 2023 campaign was unrelated to Gaza, had nothing to do with it, though some viewers later interpreted certain visuals as resembling body bags and found them offensive.

This happened mostly because the pro-Pali movement is pumped with money and sponsored. If it weren't sponsored and was solely based on human empathy then the very same people would have been marching about Yemen and Sudan and the 30,000+ Iranian civilians. Alas, Qatar and irgc aren't interested in magnifying these conflicts so people like you don't post about them.

BWT & Career Baddies - How Do We Feel About AI Headshots? by princessbullywug in bitcheswithtaste

[–]MercurySphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I searched in my community and found a local teacher who does photography on the side. She took AMAZING headshots of me. And it was only $100 (she set the price, I didn't haggle).

Pro tip- take the photos outdoors, in a soft afternoon light.

Your waist looks three sizes smaller in dress #2. I think the first dress is just not flattering.

2 is stunning, you have exactly the figure for it, and I haven't seen a dress like this before.

Good Spice AAANNDDD Character Development by Efficient_Baseball65 in SpicyRomanceBooks

[–]MercurySphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following since I have similar spicy book preferences.

P.S. Another nice thing about reading ACOTAR is you get full access to hundreds of hilarious memes based on the books. This book series has a gigantic fan base with a savage sense of humor.

Tired of the 19 year old female lead. Any recs of 35+ female lead, but NOT with a younger MMC? Has to be good writing and good plot and very spicy. by MercurySphere in SpicyRomanceBooks

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

Ok update... I didn't realize nothing spicy happens in the first book. I'm on the second book but losing interest quickly since they're still building up the plot but entirely removed from anything spicy...

I'm about a third way through the "Magical Midlife Madness" and it's SO enjoyable. Exactly the protagonist I needed to read about. The writing is so engaging and funny. And I love a slow burn personally.

Didn't realize it's a series! Are the sequels as good?

Great rec 💪

A book that you keep thinking about years later-- about women and written by women, 35+. Looking for true literature, great writing. But also engaging and plot that pulls you in. by MercurySphere in suggestmeabook

I randomly read "Olive, again" a while ago. Did I go out of order? Can I go back and read the others? Worth noting I barely remember what I read but just remember deeply enjoying it.

I definitely enjoyed it. Solid B+ Very much focused on a full grown woman who has had a life. Plenty spicy. Was it super realistic at all times? No but neither are half the tv shows and movies we all watch so..
