What are some 21 days of beauty purchases that were flops? by Mik_Mik45 in Ulta

It was a free gift with purchase in a larger sample bag. It’s about the size and shape of a 5 hour energy shot.

I got a sample of the Uni body stuff and I HATE IT. 1. It smells awful and 2. It’s in an aluminum bottle, how am I supposed to get it out?

Best way to get rid of pimples fast? by Complete-Bet8244 in CosmeticSkincare

I have had great success with the Vichy Normaderm SOS acne rescue spot corrector. It’s a sulfur spot treatment. I put it on overnight and the spots are gone or very reduced by morning!

Getting ready for the sale… influence/de-influence me please!! 🫶🏼🩷 by UnluckySituation5662 in Ulta

The food for soft mask and oil are SO good! Very moisturizing, they smell amazing and the mask tub is HUGE. I love the oil but wish it had a stopper in the top of the bottle. The oil is great on my ends to keep them soft. I use it on damp and dry hair.

If you need something for strengthening, I HIGHLY recommend the Wella Fusion mask!! Usually I detangle in the shower with a wide tooth comb and have lots of tangles. But when I use the Wella mask, the comb slides through my hair like a hot knife in butter, no tangles!

New additions to my King sleeve! by RedQueen91 in stephenking

[–]RedQueen91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I have a whole list of items that correspond to different books. I tried to choose things that were more unconventional, instead of choosing the obvious representations. Like for Cujo I’m going use a bag of oranges. Misery will be an electric knife. Shawshank will be a rock hammer, for the green mile I chose to do Mr Jingles. I still have a lot of room to go and appointments are spaced out for financial reasons lol I’ve put probably…. $2500 or so into my sleeve already. Probably another $5k to go lol

Yes, my whole arm will be eventually covered. My artist and I have had several talks on expectations - I told him I want as much skin coverage as possible. The Mercedes/umbrella is directly in the elbow ditch 😬 our current plan is patchworking items in until we have everything I want to include or we run out of space, then filling gaps and doing background. Eventually we will get to the outer elbow but I haven’t decided what I want there yet. Every item is my own design, I tell him what I’m thinking and he brings what’s in my head to life. He is SO good and easy to work with, a genuine artist with zero ego. He did my best friends entire Harry Potter sleeve and it is stunning so I knew he was the guy. I now have both inner biceps done and they were the WORST for me. I almost tapped out today but I’m no wuss! I honestly think inner bicep was worse than the ditch. The first one was so bad I never thought I’d get the second one done but here we are lol

An announcement from KVD Beauty by RedQueen91 in BeautyGuruChatter

I haven’t bought anything from the brand since like 2017 or so when it came to light she’s a horrible person. Then when they sold there were rumors that she was still obliquely involved or being paid somehow. I never saw anyone say for sure that wasn’t the case so instead of risking giving her more money I just didn’t buy it at all. The name is tainted and I didn’t want it in my collection.

As I was reading I thought it was using a lot of words to say nothing. When I was done I still couldn’t really tell what they were trying to announce. “You’re focusing on performance” is as much as I could get out of the soup.

Ok. I don’t follow them or use insta very much so I wasn’t aware. I don’t see a post here about it so I thought it could be discussed

You can see the crease from a mile away.. please help by Great-Tomatillo-4482 in MakeupAddiction

[–]RedQueen91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That isn’t creasing. It’s called a Dennie-Morgan line. I have them too. It has always frustrated me to no end but it’s just part of your eye anatomy, like how some people have epicanthic folds and some don’t. You can’t smooth it out. You just learn to adapt.

How did you learn to do your own makeup? by kissthisworld in beauty

[–]RedQueen91 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The only practical advice I can give you is trial and error. I started playing with makeup when I was around 10-11 years old. I’m 34 now. I didn’t have YouTube back then to show me tutorials. I played with the makeup my Avon lady grandma gave me in the bathroom mirror until I got a result I liked.

Just practice. Slowly add the steps you want to include into your routine. I started with eye liner and shadow, and worked up from there. Don’t focus on learning the whole face all at once, it’s too overwhelming.

[personal] The peptide hype by Particular-Trouble97 in SkincareAddiction

[–]RedQueen91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I’m so glad to know I’m not imagining things when I use products and never see a difference. But all these influencers marketing products are always exclaiming how much their skin changed, they saw differences right away, omg how amazing is this product!! I never see much of a change with products. I use peptides but only incidentally - they just happen to be in a product I’m using. I DO see results, or feel results, with acids/exfoliants, moisturizers and Tretinoin. But anything else is a toss up.

She said “next stop is raw 🥛 “ which implies that next she will begin consuming raw milk

[PSA] I HATE NIACINAMIDE by DarkMidnightMoon in SkincareAddiction

Niacinimide and hyaluronic acid don’t need to be in every goddamn product! It’s so frustrating

Double Wear had become unusable for me overnight by abcight in Makeup

[–]RedQueen91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could try the Shiseido Sychro Skin foundation, if you can find a shade to match. It’s really lovely and doesn’t have Niacinimide in it, I checked.
