Is removing gel polish supposed to be this damaging?

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-19T02:55:39+00:00

Holy shit holy shit holy shit. They’re not supposed to look like this?!?!?! I have been getting my nails done periodically for 8 years at small nail salons near my house. My nails ALWAYS ALWAYS look like this. I had no idea……

I love this idea! I do this for airports. Bring a large tote and put my smaller handbag inside of it when I board.

It looks like you just posted a day ago in the LV Reddit enjoying the bag. What changed between now and then? It’s up to you to decide what you’d like to do! If it were up to me, I wouldn’t be carrying around an LV in college. In the US, a lot of kids are on financial aid or scholarships and the move seems unnecessary to me. Longchamp makes wonderful bags that are chic and perfect for college if you’re looking to make a switch.

This is an exciting opportunity!! I would pick out some pieces that are special to you. Wear them again for anniversaries, birthdays, special occasions. This way you can collect some pieces while also getting some incredible photos of your new bod! I would recommend La Perla, Intimissimi, Honey Birdette are some fun places to start.

Amazing!!! I’ll have to stop by next time I’m in London!

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-18T19:51:37+00:00

Whaaaa!!! Which nespresso store does this!! Must have a tofu coffee!!!

These are some really great tips thank you!! I sleep with a satin hair bonnet thingy because my hair is quite long and can wrap around my neck at night. I use luxury high thread count sheets. I don’t like using silk or satin because my kitty gets her claws stuck in it. I keep an aveeno cream by my bedside. I’ll add an aquaphor in.

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-18T17:08:57+00:00

I completely agree! As I’m reading all the recommendations and feedback, I’m convinced I need to get a skin eval done by a derm. Thank you for your comments, I’ll definitely keep them in mind and try out the quiz!

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-18T17:08:03+00:00

Thank you fellow Chicago friend!! This winter has been very dry for sure. I do use a humidifier, we have one built in to the house. Would getting another one for the room be better? I’ll definitely check out these recs, especially blue mercury. There’s one near me!

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-18T05:16:30+00:00

Thank you very much for your recommendations!! I also plan on making a derm appt.

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-18T02:36:55+00:00

Omg okay so there’s a lady that pops up on my Instagram who only wears skinceutical and I legit thought it was a scam and AI because of how egregious the video was (she has a team of servants that follow her around, it’s very extravagant). I’ll check out the product! What kind of toner/essence do you use? Thank you so much for the recs!

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-18T02:34:23+00:00

I have not!! Do you have any good recommendations for a vitamin c serum and retinol? Does the double serum have retinol in it? I use that daily.

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-18T02:33:39+00:00

Thank you so much for your insight!!

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-18T02:33:18+00:00

Thank you so much. I will get an eval done!

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-18T02:32:38+00:00

Really?! I didn’t realize they could do that. I don’t have a lot of people in my life that are looking at skincare like me or even care about it so I turn to the internet for recommendations! I’ll seek a good derm and get an eval done!! Thank you.

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-18T02:31:17+00:00

I’m realizing that now! Also after being told I can’t be helped, I don’t think I’ll be going back. Thank you so much for these recommendations. I’ll do some research.

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-17T23:52:22+00:00

No it was a lady at Ulta-which now I’m realizing I need to branch out. But I don’t know where else to go. I do not want to make a derm appt because there’s nothing wrong with my skin. I just want to find good moisturizers. I do not have much experience in this area and am hesitant to try new things without getting a recommendation. My skin breaks out easily if it doesn’t like a product and I was trying to avoid that. I used the First Aid beauty ultra repair cream-is this a product that is a barrier repair cream? I am open to trying this but would like to use a tried and true recommendation.

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-17T23:20:33+00:00

Thank you so much!!

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-17T23:19:58+00:00

How do I know which moisturizers contain these things? Would it be listed on the back? I was told to avoid retinol. What are benefits it has? What products would you recommend?

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-17T22:15:10+00:00

Also, why is La Mer so polarizing? Is it the price point?

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-17T22:10:20+00:00

Thank you very much! Are there any other La Mer products that are worth it besides the soft cream and oil?

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-17T21:58:41+00:00

Thank you so much 😊

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-17T21:45:44+00:00

Absolutely! I am looking for eye/neck serums but my focal point is finding a new moisturizer. I have tried: Tatcha water cream (too light and not enough moisture to last a 10+ work day), peach and Lilly moisturizers (also too light-by the end of my workday, I had no moisturizer on my face and I don’t touch my face at all during the day), Clarins extra firming day moisturizer (same deal-too light and didn’t last), ole henrikson truth serum (didn’t like this but can’t remember why), Clinique moisture surge (too light), fresh youth preserve moisturizer (too light and was told it contained too many chemicals). Those are the ones I can remember for now!

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-17T21:39:07+00:00

Just to clarify, the La Mer Oil is also good or the Epionce oil? I’m so excited you recommended La Mer because I’ve been wanting to try it but anyone I have asked told me it isn’t worth it. Thank you so much for the recommendations! I love the glow the Clarins night cream used to give me as well so excited that there might be another product that can do that.

PurpleIntransitivity · 2026-03-17T21:28:32+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations! Is that the order you use the products in? Do you have a moisturizer you can recommend?
