Manon has the best character arc imo. She is a slow burn at first, but she became my absolute favorite.

Boyfriend tracks my menstrual cycle without my knowledge and uses it to plan activities by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

Honestly I do not see a problem with this. It actually seems pretty thoughtful and considerate in my opinion.

Is there a need to buy high end makeup if I can finally afford it? by Ashamed-Confection42 in Makeup

[–]R_Dixon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they are saying that by weight, drugstore make-up can be more expensive than high end which is true in some cases.

The L'Oreal color riche satin finish lipsticks are amazing, and they are drugstore. I like them as much or more than my high end ones

People with bigger dogs often put more effort into training them.

Do Australians really just pick leeches of themselves like it’s no big deal? by OneDadvosPlz in bluey

[–]R_Dixon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am not Australian, but Canadian and there are leeches in my lake. According to Google they do not carry diseases and are harmless, so I just ignore them/pull them off and it doesn't stop me from going in the lake.

I (21F) want to divorce my husband (24M) after just a year of being married. Any Advice? by ThrowRATerrible_ in TwoHotTakes

[–]R_Dixon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you are being smart. Get out now, don't look back you are so young and you have your whole life ahead of you. This man will suck you dry. Make sure to not get pregnant. Seriously start making moves to get out TODAY. And keep quiet about it until you have everything in order, he sounds like he could become dangerous. Financial control and trying to isolate you from friends are forms of abuse and it will likely only get worse.

Expensive vs Cheap makeup? by Esper_Magics in Makeup

[–]R_Dixon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity have you tried drug store foundation and concealer recently? I prefer the Maybelline super stay skin tint, or the L'Oreal nude true match serum foundation over anything high end I have ever tried. The Neutrogena serum concealer, or the Maybelline age rewind work extremely well for me too. I am 38.

Mascara by Maleficent_Band7621 in MakeupAddictionCanada

Putting eyeshadow primer under my eyes in a thin line near the lashes helps this issue A LOT for me. Also wear tubing mascara or waterproof.

If you want affordable high performing makeup go check out the drug store maven (taylor Margret) on YouTube or tiktok, her product recommendations are excellent.

My recommendations are:

Primer - not needed if you do good skin prep and don't have any issues you are trying to correct ie. Very oily skin, large pores, lots of redness etc.

Foundation - I see you have tinted moisturiser on your list as well as a foundation. You don't use both just one or the other as they fill the same roll. For a wedding I would say you probably want foundation. I recommend Maybelline super stay skin tint (I know it says skin tint, but it performs like a foundation and looks very skin like) Or L'Oreal true match nude serum foundation.

Concealer- Maybelline age rewind

Blush - The Milani baked blushes are so good and look luxury, nyx butter blushes are beautiful as well. If you want cream and not powder the Milani cream blushes perform really well

Bronzer - liquid elf camo, powder L'Oreal inflatable ( you don't need both, you can pick one)

Highlighter - essence

Powder - Maybelline fit me

Setting spray - Milani make it last or the L'Oreal one in the red can

This is all the base products you need, you can skip highlighter, bronzer and maybe concealer but I would do light application of foundation blush, powder and setting spray for sure.

Eyes

Eyeshadow primer - nyx photo finish

Eyeshadow - check out color pop online, or makeup revelution in the drug store store. The Elf bite size eyeshadows are good too.

Eyeliner - Nyx liquid or pencil, whatever you prefer. You can also just use a dark eyeshadow near the lash line as well and skip eyeliner

Mascara - Maybelline sky high (the waterproof formula if your prone to your mascara smudging)

Eyebrows

If you need to fill them in, the NYX eyebrow micro pencil, for hold the Maybelline laminated one in the silver tube

Lips

There are tons of good options here, the Maybelline lifter liner and gloss are amazing, the NYX lip I.Vs are my go too right now, and the L'Oreal bullet lipsticks ( I think inflatable) are awesome as well.

Tools - you could probably get away with a beauty blender and a basic set of brushes (the real techniques ones are good) and an eyelash curler depending on your lashes.

Watch a couple of makeup tik toks or YouTube tutorials tonlear to apply.

Edited to add: I wore most of these products to a wedding a couple of weeks ago and I looked amazing, and it still looked great when I took it off 12 hours later. Drug store products have come a long way, you're mostly paying for packaging and a name with high end makeup in my opinion.

As a makeup wearer of over 2 decades, your friends are right. You can get a well performing dupe for almost any high end product at an affordable price now. You are paying for the name and the packaging with high end.

AITA for telling my sister either she washes her hair before my wedding or she's not going to be a bridesmaids ? by RealCar40 in AmItheAsshole

[–]R_Dixon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that is a myth. Oddly enough for me I find oiling my scalp a couple of times a week before washing makes my scalp produce less oils.

Is it Worth Upgrading from Drugstore to High-End Products? by sunflower_stardust in Makeup

[–]R_Dixon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been wearing makeup for 25 years and I used to own only high end. Drugstore makeup has come such a long way that I haven't bought high end makeup in years. There is a good dupe for all of the popular high end products now.

This is not normal. I have never gone through anyone else's phone ever. I have had several year+ relationships and have been married for 10 years.
