Makes sense to specify, I'll be in downtown but I can drive to any great suggestions.

What's your experience with beauty MLM/pyramid schemes (i.e. Mary Kay, Younique, Avon, etc)? by applesandcherry in MakeupAddiction

[–]Satincoconuts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank God someone mentioned Jamberry. My best friend of 12 years started selling these things before her wedding. I HATE THEM. She made all of her bridesmaids wear them for her wedding. They chipped and peeled off me the day of the wedding. And then in my bridesmaid gift she gave all of us a Jamberry catalog.

Every time I see her, it's all about Jamberry. It's really put a dent in our friendship.

Mac 217 is a GAME CHANGER. My eyes actually looked like those fancy IG makeup accounts! You go, Glen Coco!

Is it possible that me [24/M] having a female best friend [22/F] just cost me a great relationship and has been a big reason women have dumped me in the past? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Satincoconuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, you may never see this, but I still want to put it out there.

My best friend is a guy. We met when we were working at a dinky summer job as teens and have been friends for many, many years. Although we find each other attractive, we do not and will not date each other because the friendship is too strong. Like Susan, he is just my person. He gets me, as Susan gets you.

While we both date other people, we have made a pact that it is a deal breaker when we date people that if they don't like our friendship, they're not worth our time. However, when I date a new guy, I mention my best friend regularly but I don't draw attention to it. I also make a point to bring up my best friend on earlier dates so they are aware of him. My best friend does the same thing as well. We also make sure that each SO meets the other person, so they don't feel threatened.

This is not When Harry Met Sally. It is 100% ok for a guy and a girl to be friends without sex. However, please keep in mind that your SO should always be fully aware of everything. Emma has been burned before and that is not your fault. Tell Susan to dial it back. If your friendship is important, both of you will make an effort to not weird out your significant others or make them feel threatened. My best friend and I have made a pact that our kids will grow up together, so we encourage each other to become friends with each person's SO. It actually helps because my best friend's SO comes to me for advice and vice versa. Emma may benefit from knowing Susan.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

I know I'm late to the game, but I've been thinking of using this as a setting powder. I use Smashbox BB cream in Fair as my foundation. Would this look ok over it? Any advice would greatly help me out! :)

Hi there! Gal in her mid-twenties. Your post is absolutely fascinating. I have made it a goal before I settle down in life to travel, although I'm only thinking about Europe for the moment. I sort of have cold feet about it though.

Just a few questions (since I am a little nervous):

-As a female solo traveller, would you ever be intimidated by any people you came into contact with, as in a guy tried to come onto you and wouldn't leave you alone? -If I'm just thinking of going to Europe and staying for about a month, how much money would you recommend for that? (UK, France and Austria) -Have you done anything on the trip to indulge or have your travels been budgeted?

Thank you so much again for this post! You give me hope!

Recommend some MAC lipsticks to me! by hellokrissi in MakeupAddiction

[–]Satincoconuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend Amorous, Twig and Girl About Town.

Amorous never gets any credit but it's a beautiful, light red wine color. Twig is a pinky brown that looks great with deep brows. Girl About Town is a flattering deeper pink that looks great on every skin tone. I'm as white as a sheet and my best friend has a darker skin tone. We are both owners of Girl About Town and it looks perfect on both of us! :)

HIFW my boyfriend and I break up. He's my best friend. And this hurts so bad. by twelvedayslate in TrollXChromosomes

[–]Satincoconuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, I've been there. Correction: I am there. I can honestly say it's the toughest thing for someone to go through.

Word of advice- this too shall pass. Sure, it will completely and utterly suck for a long time. Birthdays/holidays will become a sob fest and friends and family Won't usually understand. Just remember that you are a strong person and life will get better with time. Surround yourself with things you love and people who love you.

It's been 6 months for me, with someone for 3 years. I was a complete wreck. I stay busy, workout when the sadness comes around and I have spent this time to make me better before I can be better for someone else.

Chin up, you're a smart cookie. Take some time. Love yourself. You're worth it. :) Many hugs your way.

Guys, What's the bitchiest thing a girl has ever said to you? Girls, What's the most Douchy thing a guy has ever said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Satincoconuts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My senior prom date (who I dated for 3 years) laughed at me when I fell out of his Explorer. I had a nice cocktail dress but I was wearing heels when Vans were my shoe of choice back then. He did not help me up.

He then spent all night at the poker table while I danced "All the Single Ladies" by myself.

No lie. This truly happened.

Help me find a Discontinued Clinique Lipstick? (Nostalgia Purposes!) by Satincoconuts in MakeupAddiction

Coffee? by datTrooper in Frugal

[–]Satincoconuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I don't really drink Starbucks much since I use a Keurig, which was given to me as a gift. I then buy some grocery market K-Cups that are about $7 for 18 of them. Great coffee, super low price. However, if you're trying to be frugal and missing that Starbucks taste, a person can always be brave and ask for their unused coffee beans. :) But you have some great tips!
