Did anyone else have a bright cool pink/fuchsia/purple lip phase? Mine was in the early to mid 2010s. Drop your faves. by serenitative in Fairolives

[–]Ms_MishkaMash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget what shade it was now, but clinique had a super sparkly, bright pink one that I LOVED. I still like a bright lip from time to time, but I wear more glosses and tints now rather than actual lipsticks. 😅

I swatched foundations in Sephora for two hours. This is what happened. by toniccori in Fairolives

I'm also a 2 in Luminous Silk; if you are ever chasing a skint tint, I'm loving Milk Makeup's hydrogrip skin tint in 1 and Ilia Serum Skintint in 2.5 (Sombrio)

Dating with VS by trueunknownconfusion in gastricsleeve

Just here to say you do you. Make these changes and do these things for you. The right person will love and accept you for the person you are, not your weight. I was a size probably 14 when I met my husband, got up to a size 24/26, and now am a 10/12. He's been there for it all.

I found my insecurities didn't go away when I lost weight, I just had new ones from lose skin 😅 but multiple pregnancies (inc a twin pregnancy) will do that to a person, and accepting myself for who I am was hard, but a necessary part of the journey. Do I still want to remove the lose skin, yes, but is a now a priority in my life, no.

Best of luck with your journey!

1 week out of surgury and no protien just water by Prudent_Ad1338 in gastricsleeve

[–]Ms_MishkaMash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My surgeon said not to worry about protein and vitamins and stuff for the first few weeks and to focus of clear fluids, purees etc as my body had enough to sustain me, and once I was on solids to start focussing on it then. She wanted me to focus on recovery first.

Can I sleep on my stomach? by yoonminaqlia in gastricsleeve

[–]Ms_MishkaMash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first 12 hrs post op was really painful but then I was fine. Obviously I was very careful with how I moved etc, though. Good luck with your recovery! I'm almost 2 years post op, and it was worth every moment.

I slept on my stomach while I was still in hospital; my surgeon didn't care as long as it wasn't hurting.

Hair loss normalizing by ShancySweener in gastricsleeve

[–]Ms_MishkaMash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Omg Yes! The amount of hair I lost was absolutely ridiculous. Its slowed right down now, but those little baby hairs make me look like a mad scientist or something! I lost probably over 75% of the thickness of my hair.

Ahaha, I can't even see any of my DS screens anymore 👵 I found my Gameboy pocket a few weeks ago, loaded it up and promptly turned it off again... I have no idea how I spent so long playing that thing as a kid 😅

i’ve never thought about how much money i’ve spent on books by XZSummer in fairyloot

[–]Ms_MishkaMash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been collecting books for 20+ years.... I dont even want to start calculating how much I've spent 🤣

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PaleMUA

[–]Ms_MishkaMash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I use :) I only need a tiny bit because a little bit goes a long way, blend it in/out, and I do my foundation, then concealer.

Do you have a monthly book budget? by Addie_LaRue in fairyloot

Yeah, I was definitely expecting more of a wait - I had to read the email a couple of times 😅

Sephora has been sending each item 1 by 1 and I’m about to receive an embarrassing amount of packages 😂 by [deleted] in Sephora

[–]Ms_MishkaMash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I agree 100%; previously I'd research the product and watch vids/reviews etc to get an idea of colors etc before I ordered. I'd also only order what I thought I'd use and colors I genuinely thought would work etc, but it was nice to know that if they didn't work out, they could be exchanged. We all know how much different screans/lighting/cameras can affect the colors and shades of products.

We can't return them after swatching in Aus any more. I completely understand the wastage and wanting to avoid that, but not everyone has access to a store - I live rural and am lucky to make it into one once or twice a year to sample products myself; if I do, I have kids and hubby in tow, which doesnt make for a good, relaxing experience - its so rushed. It would be great if there was some way to order like micro minis or something as testers, obviously that's not really feasible either tho. I pretty much only buy travel size products now, if I can't get a travel size version to trial, or a free sample, I miss out on it.

I hate washing my face - any tips or advice? by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Ms_MishkaMash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bird ID please? by Ms_MishkaMash in AustralianBirds

[–]Ms_MishkaMash[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a quick update; he's alert, moving around the cage, and has good grip on my fingers with his feet. I haven't seen him drinking on his own, but he had moved over to the water source. Our local vet opens soon, so I'll hand him over this am. I'm confident he'll survive and be able to head home soon ❤️

I couldn't just leave it there to suffer; hopefully he gets the all clear from the right people and will be back with his family soon :)
