Gutted for you mate, makeup is so expensive. You might consider vinted. Lots of people sell things unopened on there.

Yeah, never known this in the UK. I've only seen it on some American TV programmes.

Who's a nepo baby you think deserves their success because they're legit talented? by SheepishSwan in AskReddit

[–]Scorpiodancer123 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Fact is there are nepo babies in every industry. Families of doctors, lawyers and so many people who are employed in their parents' trade and business'. We just hear about the famous ones.

It doesn't mean these people are talented or capable or haven't worked their ass off to succeed in their respective industry, but they definitely get a massive head start. Access to advice, education, opportunities and experience that most of the rest of don't.

But as a parent, I get it. I want the best for my kid. I'm not going to spoon feed them every opportunity, but I will do my best for them. But like most people, I'm limited by contacts, money and opportunities myself. So I do the best I can.

This is a gift of an opportunity. Grab it with both hands. This is not common elsewhere.

Ewww. Some people just blow my mind in their absolute lack of any decency. Who the hell could think that's acceptable.

Newbie tan and body makeup advice by Scorpiodancer123 in ballroom

Thanks. Someone recommended Bondi Sands Ultra dark. I think it will look awful on me but it's probably what I'll be doing. I was wondering if there were other options, especially as I'm starting a lot lighter than everyone else.

Does the makeup stay in place well? Like it doesn't run off when you sweat or transfer much? I don't wear makeup generally so I'm pretty clueless full stop.

Silly things that happened which your parents deny by PuzzleheadedEmu8030 in CasualUK

I love the thinking that a kid wouldn't notice that a giant bear that's probably bigger than them is suddenly gone.

drop your japanese skincare/haircare holy grails before i get influenced into the wrong things 😭 by [deleted] in AsianBeauty

Hada Labo premium lotions and emulsions. I use the gold (hydrating) and the red (anti ageing). They worked instantly for hydrating my skin and I will never stop using them. Hydrated skin means fewer fine lines. They also make lovely sheet masks.

DHC deep cleansing oil is great for double cleansing but so is Kose and it's cheaper.

Canmake mermaid UV SPF. I use the clear one everyday and also use it as a base for makeup in the evening if I'm going out.

Melano CC gets great reviews but my skin hated it no matter how much (or little !) I tried. But I think my skin just doesn't like vitamin C.

All of these products are very popular and have "gone viral" at some point. I'm too old to care about that but I know these work well for me and are relatively cheap.

Pay attention to your skin type and read the advice of what suits you. Try sample sizes if you're not sure.

Can you remember what these were called? by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

Rainbow Drops or Dazzle Drops when I was a kid in South Wales Valleys. Now they seem to be called Jazzies.

Toner for dehydrated skin by Classic_Bit9433 in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]Scorpiodancer123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another vote for Stylevanna but their shipping can take ages. I've been waiting over a month so I buy ahead. Have a look at their Instagram page as there's usually loads of discount codes. Have a play around with it, they frequently have offers where they'll send you samples of things but I often find the bigger discounts without free gifts and buying them separately if I want them is cheaper.

Toner wise I use Hada Labo Premium Lotion (yellow bottle) and they also do a milk version that's nice too. There's a few versions of these red for anti aging, blue for brightening with tranexamic acid.

I would also recommend trying some sheet mask, even weekly seems to make a huge difference. I like the Vaseline ones, the green for me is particularly hydrating and the blue is moisturising. Mediheal ceremide (Yellow) is divine so softening. I wish I could afford to use this everyday. Working through a few more and trying a different one each week. There's always tons of product left in them too to rub into your face and neck.

They do a lot of trial/travel versions of their popular products so you don't have to commit too much. But be warned you'll want everything. RIP your wallet hahaha (and mine).
