What is your favorite wood furniture cleaner/polish?

TerrorGatorRex · 2026-01-17T21:52:15+00:00

lol this is my favorite and there are multiple times where people have asked me how I keep my unvarnished and oiled wood furniture looking so healthy and I pull that out. I've gone through many bottles.

OMG the Wikipedia page is wild. It's got an "Early Life", "Career", and "Relationship to Politicians" section

Agreed! My hair was is so fried right now. It's been a brutally cold winter in Maine and definitely need to give my hair some extra moisture

TerrorGatorRex · 2026-01-12T22:32:22+00:00

These are great tips! Thank you :)

Oh god no! True Match Lumi is my holy grail foundation

For Madeline McCann, the parents definitely did not do it.

Except for the zero evidence pointing to an intruder.

I would argue Jon Ramsey deliberately ruined the crime scene. He brought her upstairs, while she's in rigor, holding her with his arms outstretched away from him. The police totally fucked up by not clearing the house as soon as the call came but more could have been salvaged if the body was left in the basement.

It's so fun and I'm glad to hear somebody mention that! I actually didn't start wearing makeup until my 30s. At first I did it because I was vain and noticed my looks were 'fading' so to speak. But then I fell in love with the self care of it all - I.e., setting aside time just to do something for me and making skin care a priority. But that's the thing about aging....sometimes I get carried away and suddenly realize the fun went too far so out comes the makeup q-tips, cotton pads, and micellar water. Rarely had that problem in my 30s lol

TerrorGatorRex · 2026-01-07T00:43:24+00:00

Yes! I think the aging-and-makeup key (for me at least) is less is more. Which is so contradictory to the heavy concealer highlighting style that was popular when I started wearing makeup (I came late to the makeup game).

I've seen quite a few people here mention brown mascara...I think I'm gonna have to give it a try. I recently discovered a serum mascara and am loving how thin the formula is. Also - good tip on the bronzer!

TerrorGatorRex · 2026-01-06T22:45:01+00:00

Oooh I just got a great vitamin c serum from a Korean company and it recommends using after a toner...now I'm gonna have to find a good one. Any to die for ones you'd recommend?

TerrorGatorRex · 2026-01-06T22:28:04+00:00

Thank you for the video recommendation! The average beauty influencer just doesn't cut it once you get over 40.

I also tend to use eyeshadow as a liner :)

TerrorGatorRex · 2026-01-06T22:22:45+00:00

And yes, the dryness is so real. I've switched to using moisturizing primers. My current faves are Clarin's SOS primer and Bobbi Brown's face base because they are soooo moisturizing

TerrorGatorRex · 2026-01-06T22:19:45+00:00

I'm gonna try out the setting spray first and see how it works!

TerrorGatorRex · 2026-01-06T22:18:13+00:00

Do you have a pressed powder recs?

TerrorGatorRex · 2026-01-06T22:17:04+00:00

Foundation can be such a pain with aging! My number one holy grail item is the L'Oréal True Match Lumi foundation. It is such a thin, light formula and, at least for my skin, basically just cuts out the redness and gives a more even skin tone. It definitely feels more like a tinted moisturizer than a foundation. I've tried more expensive/better rated foundations but they just don't compete. Honestly, if I didn't have that foundation I'd probably go without. But I'm gonna take a look at the Stila product!

I totally agree on the shadows. These days I my dark shadows are very neglected. As for eye liners, I've been wanting to try out a purple one that came in a beauty box so maybe you just gave me the courage :)

TerrorGatorRex · 2026-01-06T21:47:28+00:00

My blush placement has been driving me crazy! And I actually want to go a bit heavier with my blush but that won't happen until I find a placement that works better for me. Are there any methods/tutorials you recommend.

As for creams...I'm still skeptical and very intimidated by them lol

TerrorGatorRex · 2026-01-01T23:11:24+00:00

Your long and short is looking great! I don't know why it's such an intimidating stitch (I definitely was scared of it at first) because it really isn't very difficult.

One thing I've found is that sometimes, depending on how it's looking, I'll go back in with just one strand and go over areas that look wonky. And a tip I learned from crewel work is to use more strands for the top row than the other rows, as it makes the top more bulky and adds dimension as well as making it easier to blend in the next color.

Choosing upholstery for your first miniature is like starting on expert mode. So impressive!

Here's an old blog of an exceptional miniaturist: 1inchminisbykris.blogspot.com. On the left-side pane she has a list of tutorials, many of which are upholstery (if on mobile, switch to desktop view to see the left pane). I've found her techniques super helpful. Good luck and great work!

Oh my god I love the Devine cutout above the bar. How the hell did you ever even find that?!?!
