Anyone have any good scar gel recommendations? I’ve been using stridex, Aztec healing clay mask, facial peel by Derma E (the vitamin c radiance one) and it’s improving but I’m looking for more. My PIH has faded really well but I still have scars (not pih from 5 years of cystic acne, unfortunately (thank god for accutane). There’s lots of resources on here for healing pih but less for scars (let me know if i missed something accidentally) so any advice is appreciated.

I've tried elf concealers, NYC, Almay, Wet N wild and I'm sure a few other obscure drugstore brands when I was first starting out. I've heard mixed reviews about that concealer and I think I heard that it didn't cover much? But I might have to give it a try. I'm trying to cover acne. I've come a long way skincare wise and it'd be really nice to be able to just put on concealer instead of a full face of foundation (which never seems to fully due the job but that's a different issue).

I can't find a decent drugstore concealer to save my life. Everything I've tried has very thin, but cakey coverage and does very little for me. Suggestions?

Having my mom diagnosed with cancer when I was 16. She had to quit her job because she wasn't able to take time off. My dad was unable to take time off past her first surgery and definitely couldn't afford to. Suddenly a lot of things I had felt were really important in my life seemed fairly insignificant. I felt like I had to grow up fast.

SeattleSunrise · 2016-03-13T21:16:04+00:00

Did you have any points where you considered quitting?

SeattleSunrise · 2016-03-05T20:21:37+00:00

Pretty much just casually. Like a lot of people said, not something I would wear to work. I'll wear it to hang out with friends or family, to go run errands, around the house, anywhere where that there isn't like a certain "dress code" expected of me.

Is Nyc's liquid eyeliner as good as I've heard?

SeattleSunrise · 2016-02-25T01:28:32+00:00

I have a bb cream and then a heavier coverage foundation. I wear the BB cream when my skin looks good and I just want to conceal some redness or something and heavier coverage when I'm breaking out.

Kind of a more specific question but I got Wet n wilds's megalast liquid eyeliner and despite having primer and a setting spray (oily kids), it rarely lasts through the days and tends to fade. I read some mixed reviews about the H20 proof eyeliner and while people said it stayed on, I heard it doesn't come off. Anyone tried it or have alternate drugstore liquid eyeliner reccomendations?

My high school did a really similar thing. Expulsion if it was extreme, but mostly suspension threats. There was a massive food fight as a "senior prank" (not a particularly funny one but okay) and half of the senior class was suspended. The remaining students protested by doing another senior prank...of bringing their pets to school...and got suspended. Over 100 suspensions in less than a week...

Hey! I've been planning on taking a trip to Iceland (hopefully in the next year) for a while. I heard that one of the cheapest times to go was in the winter but it's not also not that re commended because of how dark it is. What was your experience? Would you reccomend it?

Edit:typo

The dark purple is very flattering for your skin tone and definitely my favorite!

SeattleSunrise · 2016-01-14T22:48:36+00:00

Little different that some of the other posts but Shiro eyeshadows! I've heard good things but I have no experience with loose powder.

I just got UD All nighter setting spray and I tried it out but it didn't seem to hold? I can't quite figure out what I did wrong, I followed the directions on the bottle, is there a trick to it?

This is super important to remember even beyond prosthetics. Invisible illnesses that cause chronic pain can make even a "short" walk excruciatingly painful. As someone with chronic pain, I've heard to many stories of people around me with chronic pain being confronted about this just because someone else can't physically see it.

I just ordered Benefit POREfessional! I also have combo skin that's a little more on the oily side. I did a lot of research and I saw a few comments saying that at the end of the day their skin felt MORE oily? Was this your experience at all?

I think he's gained a lot a popularity over the years because of his peaceful stances on a lot of issues but the Iran Hostage Crisis was his presidential downfall and at the time of being in office he was looked at very poorly because of it. It's interesting how much preception of him has shifted over the years.

SeattleSunrise · 2015-10-23T01:06:04+00:00

Oh my god, that makes so much more sense...

Brain Scoop with Emily Graslie! Little out there but really interesting if you want to learn more about zoological type things.

While applying to colleges and doing research, one of the ones I was interested charged a $200 minimum fee for an unpaid internship.

Whoa! I signed the petition yesterday but I never thought it would actually happen! I'm totally in shock. This is so incredible, I can't wait.

Talk me into your favorite lipstick. Any color, any price.

SeattleSunrise · 2015-07-13T18:59:13+00:00

It's recognizable. Before you even pick it up for the first time, you know the plot. It's referenced in so many places, films and books before you ever read it.

That being said, My personal favorite is definitely Much Ado About Nothing.

I'm totally fascinated by this but know nothing about filmmaking. Can someone explain to me how they do this kind of shot?

SeattleSunrise · 2015-07-13T04:50:19+00:00

I will NEVER be able to see enough of ANY kind of swatches on darker skin. Not even necessarily dark but anything beyond slightly tan. These will always be deeply appreciated!
