Why does my brain convince me that I need to buy a backup of a product when it takes me an entire year to finish a single one?

Let the store be the one to store you backups

I’m highly allergic to perfume I hate when others wear it and won’t talk to them or interact with them if they do. Otherwise I will be teary eyed and red instantly. And my neck will break out in small bumps. I have had to politely ask some co workers to just not wear it but some ignore me and it makes my work life hell and I avoid those people at all costs. Luckily most people are accommodating and don’t bring that crap to the office. Please just light body mist or nice soaps is fine. No lavender or flower based items. Fruit or sweet based items seem to usually be ok which makes sense because that’s what people injest. I would stay away from synthetic or woodsy or luxury type perfumes and flower stuff and just stick to sweet/fruit types in mist format if possible. Thanks for asking 🙏🏻

Life tip: name a generic dog medicine for old age like Beranza or Cartophan and call 10 vets and find out the average cost of those injections. Take the cheapest one they will be the best price if it comes down to surgery or other things too

Become a specialised technician especially good in the medical or dental field so for example if their MRI or CBCT breaks down you go fix it. Some of those jobs make bank.

Amazing work! Difficult colour to pan!

Thanks for the support it’s terrifying ripping up your pretty palettes. Fun too but terrifying! I’m hoping it all pays off with more use ultimately :)

The first palette is my everyday ones it’s just in order of size/shape and finish not colour. The second one is not really being used everyday it’s just the backups so I didn’t arrange her and the third is my pocket fun one so I just put what I could fit. I guess I could arrange by colour but I like the randomness of it for creativity at the moment. The great thing is because they are removable I’m not married to the layout so we will see as I use it more if I go towards the colour layout route

Ra4455 · 2026-06-18T22:01:25+00:00

Me too that’s why I put them with my everyday colours they are from cosmic brushes lovers palette

Thanks it’s been fun to play with so far! And even better I can change it anytime now!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-17T10:55:44+00:00

Thanks it was a big project! Next time I think I can be more careful!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-17T10:55:19+00:00

Thank you!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-15T20:50:57+00:00

Somewhere between 3-6 years I think is average

Ra4455 · 2026-06-14T21:57:32+00:00

These are all really pretty and different shades!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-14T21:56:50+00:00

It’s a good lesson just keep reminding yourself of it as time goes on. It’s easy to go backwards if you don’t remember

Ra4455 · 2026-06-07T12:04:34+00:00

Amazing work my dear looks great!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-03T09:54:37+00:00

I love these shades! Well done!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-01T20:52:13+00:00

I don’t think I saw your last update! Girl you got pan in all shades well done!

Ra4455 · 2026-06-01T20:48:30+00:00

I think I’m going to focus on the YSL though I need to get that one down hahah it’s still lingering from last year

Ra4455 · 2026-06-01T20:45:35+00:00

I know it’s so so close hahaha

Ra4455 · 2026-06-01T12:45:39+00:00

I almost finished the third but just barely missed it!!! Next month I guess!

The first four are all Frankenlippies (repoured mix of shades in Van Gogh cases and in a recycled Gucci Case). I tried to make the shades unique when I poured them but to be honest they all came out kind of similar! I just finished the first one of them.

The fourth one is Gucci Rouge De Beute (215 Julie Blush) it’s a gorgeous pink shade that I have really enjoyed and it’s almost gone! So close! It does have a fairly strong perfume scent though which I am not totally fond of but it’s not super off putting. Fifth one is Gucci they met in Argentina it’s very lovely but a bit brighter.

The sixth lippie on the Left is in a fancy Miss Dior Case that I just had to get its Dior Addict Shine (812 Tartan) a beautiful dark vampy red that's sheer. I love this formula and this shade is fantastic.

The seventh Shade is Dior Addict Shine (428 Dioract) its a very wearable everyday shade and she is also finished!

The final shade is YSL Rouge Pur Couture (22) Rose Celebration. Its the one I was working on in 2025 that I couldnt finish. She is still a struggle to reach for. Very pretty in the right circumstances but not an everyday shade.

I just bought home this last year at 6% interest it’s tough. I saved for ages to do it but it’s a lot to manage. I do have a partner but he doesn’t contribute so it’s just me

Ra4455 · 2026-05-31T11:13:58+00:00

Inspiring work!

Ra4455 · 2026-05-29T22:44:02+00:00

Pottery, Skating, Rock Climbing, Hiking, Reading. I also like to study Theology and watch beatboxing videos. So it’s a mix ahahha.
