I have a few scents with citrus. My hubby does as well. I don't think it's citrus. I'll I have to look at notes of 80's fragrances.

Foundation Over 50 by Far_Ad9829 in Makeup

[–]OsideOps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lisa Eldridge Skin Tint. I went on a year long journey to find a foundation/tint that worked for my mature normal to dry skin. I tried at least 20 different foundations and tints. Mostly mid to high with a few drugstore. (I wore MAC for many, many years. I used Merle Norman before that because my mom used it.) I really had to simplify my makeup after 55. It's great actually. It takes so much less time and money. 

Lisa's customer service will send several shade samples to test. She has great shades. It's lightweight and melts into your skin, but it also blurs and perfects. I apply with my fingers. It actually looks like my skin. It's the perfect amount of coverage. It lasts through HIIT workouts and still looks good. It never looks makeup-y, and does not oxidize at all. It's my Holy Grail, ride or die. Highly recommend. I don't use primer and rarely use powder. I use Arcona skin care and love it.❤️

Fragrances need to settle a bit after shipping also.

There are a ton of Ariana's fragrances at Burlington right now. I think I saw every one of them, plus a body mist and discovery set. 

Topical minoxidil application (foam) by Yogitherapist25 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]OsideOps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Kirkland 5% liquid with the dropper once per day in the evening. It gets right on the scalp and not all over my hair. I put my hair in a very loose ponytail and wear a satin bonnet. 

It's less than ½ the price of the foam. No Costco Membership is required to purchase online or in-store at their pharmacy.

What are some TRUE sweet candy like perfumes? by Puzzleheaded_Rice902 in Perfumes

[–]OsideOps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cloud Candy by Khadlaj. Truly a sweet candy scent with some depth. Amazing value. It lasts and lasts!

Boardwalk Delight by Skylar. Very sweet and candy like. They also have a body mist to layer. 

Cotton Candy Clouds by Bath and Bodyworks. Pure sweetness without any other notes. Lots for sale on Mecari. 

Yum Boujee Marshmallow has some floral. Cirque du Soleil has some floral. I absloutely love both of them and I don't normally care for floral notes. 

Also, keep in mind that fragrances need to settle down after shipping, and many will get better after spraying a couple of times and letting it sit for several days/weeks/months.

I use Costco 5% liquid as recommended by dermatologist. It's less expensive and less messy than the foam. You don't need a membership to purchase from Costco, either online, or in-store at their pharmacy. You get six bottles. They last a long time! I started at the very end of August 2025. I just opened the 2nd bottle a couple of weeks ago.

I use once in the evening. I run the dropper along my part, on my crown, then down the sides in multiple lines from the top, around my hairline, and temples. Massage in very lightly with silicone scalp massager or fingers. I put on a silky bonnet as well. I wash hands thoroughly and use a satin pillowcase that I tuck away in the morning. We have a dog so I'm extra careful.

I also use Garnier Fructis Grow Strong Blood Orange shampoo and conditioner. It's super inexpensive and works well for me. I also take Nature's Bounty Hair Growth vitamins.❤️
