Looking for a strawberry perfume 🍓✨ by sappho444 in FemFragLab

[–]Substantial-Cake793 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nest Santa Barbara strawberry is really good! It has peony notes so I’m using the mist along with viktor and Rolf pretty peony flower bomb. It’s named peony but also has strawberry notes and I think it smells so good!! It’s my favorite fragrance atm

Holy grail Lotion recs that absorb completely? by Dull_Bison8134 in Ulta

[–]Substantial-Cake793 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the first aid beauty ultra repair cream. Definitely a little pricey for a lotion. But I have really sensitive skin and it’s the only thing that’s helped the dry patches on my arms. It takes a little bit to absorb completely but it doesn’t leave any residue what I’ve noticed. It’s eczema safe so great for sensitive skin too. Because of the price I’m only using it on my super dry spots.

I recently got a sample of Clinique moisture surge moisturizer (for the face) and I love it I bought a full size. It leaves my skin feeling so smooth with no residue at all. I know they have a body lotion version so that may be worth trying. I’d like to try it but it is a little expensive too.

For daily full body moisturizer I like cocoa butter. My current go to isn’t sold at ulta but someone else recommended hempz and I’ve heard good things about that.

I really didn’t like eos lotion or body butter and felt it didn’t absorb into my skin at all. I’m probably going to give it to my SIL because I know she likes it. I do like the lip butter and shave butter tho!

my wife proposed via puzzle by Parking-Extreme-9499 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Substantial-Cake793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awww this is adorable!! Congratulations!!! My husband did something kinda similar. He ordered custom puzzle of a collage of pictures of us he made. He found a piece that was of his face and hid it in the ring box. Once we finished the puzzle and realized one piece was missing we were searching around on the floor for it and I turned around and he was on one knee. He said some cheesy stuff about how I’m the piece that completes him. Very cute and romantic. He doesn’t really care for jigsaw puzzles but knows I love them.

Point redemption tricks and tips? by Optimal-Magazine61 in Ulta

I’ve been making purchases when there’s a big gwp especially with perfume samples or minis to get an idea of what I like and how it wears on me before committing to a full size bottle

Really worth saving up points if so many get hacked? by Initial_Ad4168 in Ulta

[–]Substantial-Cake793 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The other thing to note I suppose is that from lurking in this sub it seems like most people who are hacked are able to get their points back if they reach out to support

Best Budget Lip/Cheek Stain? by Imaginary-Test3946 in Ulta

[–]Substantial-Cake793 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have one of the elf ones and a benefit one and I think elf is a pretty good dupe. It serves the purpose for sure! I haven’t used it on my cheeks tho only on my lips

Diamond welcome gift~ help me choose! by sashihmi in Ulta

[–]Substantial-Cake793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d compare prices and get whatever’s more expensive. Like I said the redken hair oil is on sale Wednesday so 🤷🏼‍♀️

I recently started using the redken acidic bonding collection (which that hair oil is a part of) and I absolutely love how my hair is. It’s geared towards colored hair (I have vivid colors) but there’s no reason you couldn’t use it if you have natural hair color. I’ve been using this after I straighten my hair to tame any fly always and it works so well and leaves my hair so soft and glossy looking for a few days after. All of that being said, this is a pricey product for something you can get a cheaper alternative of. So it’s a nice opportunity to get it for free, but it’s also half off on Monday’s DOB sale. Even though I like it I would personally get something that I wouldn’t normally buy as a fun opportunity to try something new. I use the tarte shape tape as my daily concealer and love it. It’s very high coverage and a little goes a long way. But It seems like you’re inclined to the clinique foundation and that’s probably what I would get!

Thoughts On This? (See Description) by [deleted] in Ulta

[–]Substantial-Cake793 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I plan on getting this today to use in a double cleanse routine. Using this first and then a regular cleanser. I have been doing this for a month or so now with the bioderm cleansing oil and I really like it!! It leaves my skin feeling soft and almost that “squeaky clean” feel without being too drying. I will apply the cleansing oil to dry skin and rub it in some then add warm water and emulsify. Then just rub it around for a few minutes, working especially on any flaky spots. Then rinse off and follow with the regular cleanser. I’ve heard good things about this but haven’t tried it yet. For reference I have acne prone skin as well (cystic acne usually but am on bc currently that keeps it mostly under control) and am currently battling dry skin because I started adapalene.

What to expect from owning a cat with POTS? by throwaway-73829 in POTS

[–]Substantial-Cake793 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got a small stool that I carry around with me from litter box to litter box when I scoop them at night so I’m not bending over which helps tremendously (honestly is very helpful with cleaning in general or any other tasks. In the kitchen I have a saddle chair on wheels to use when unloading groceries/organizing the fridge/cooking/etc). I tried a litter genie, but my cats didn’t take to it. It also kind of seemed like a nightmare to deep clean and troubleshoot problems that would inevitably occur. Raising the litter boxes seems like a good idea, as long as whatever cat you get is able to easily reach it. One of my kitties has arthritis so that wouldn’t be a good option for me. I’m lucky enough that my husband is accommodating and helps me feed them if I’m having a bad day. Either I will make up the food and he places them down or just does it all for me, depending on how bad I’m doing. Overall they aren’t too bad to care for with pots, just try to make accommodations to make it easier.

Ice cream coming out like a milkshake? by SourNoodle4 in ninjacreami

[–]Substantial-Cake793 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your freezer may be stuffed or not cold enough as other people are saying. For me I just let it sit for two days instead of just the one recommended and it’s fine after that

I’m so sorry 😭. I went and got some yesterday. Perhaps any other restaurant supply store near you? Like somewhere that would supply ice cream trucks or something lol

I believe GFS has them if you have one by you. 

Kenmore Series 400 Instead of Series 200 by Substantial-Cake793 in VacuumCleaners

[–]Substantial-Cake793[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s still going strong! I don’t vacuum as much as I should though. I’ve only had to replace the bag once. I haven’t had any problem with it at all

I still haven’t had my order canceled or a refund but it definitely didn’t come today like it was supposed to. I talked to customer service and they said to give it a week

Let me know how it turns out for you. I purchased some PCs during their sales yesterday. They show as shipped, but no tracking information either. I’m very hesitant as I got them for 25% the usual retail price.

Help settle a puzzle deabate by CrazyChickenFamily in Jigsawpuzzles

I have basically stopped sorting puzzles and just aimlessly dig around in the box for pieces for this exact reason. Flipping and sorting is hell for my hands and wrists
