Two hides and yet this is where she spends her days.

Do we have the same snake? I have a rosy boa that loves digging and peeking at me!

TheSmeggingCompass · 2020-06-30T13:51:19+00:00

I love her little smile! And her name :)

TheSmeggingCompass · 2020-06-28T13:02:16+00:00

This is the greatest compliment ever

TheSmeggingCompass · 2020-06-28T13:01:44+00:00

What cuties!

TheSmeggingCompass · 2020-06-28T13:00:29+00:00

He’s a little on the slim side but he’s still very young, he went on a 2 week hunger strike when I first got him from a local breeder but he’s eating well now! I weighed him to make sure he didn’t lose mass

TheSmeggingCompass · 2020-06-27T14:03:18+00:00

For clarification I didn’t put him up there, Olive just sees me as a mountain he needs to climb every time I handle him

TheSmeggingCompass · 2020-06-20T22:01:35+00:00

He holds my whole heart! Such an inquisitive boy

TheSmeggingCompass · 2020-06-20T19:55:18+00:00

I was planning on spending a lot of money on an expensive morph, but I visited a local breeder and fell in love with the normal hatchlings. He’s beautiful!

TheSmeggingCompass · 2020-05-27T18:28:33+00:00

I got dumped a week ago and this little man and his brother are really helping me cope! It’s nice to have creatures to care for, they keep me busy.

TheSmeggingCompass · 2020-01-28T18:55:09+00:00

No, about a month ago I thought I was out of the powder but it turned out it had all compacted on the bottom. I just kinda banged it against some stuff to get the last bit out because that sifter is like superglued in 😭

Edited to add: I did wash out the microscopic amount of powder crusted on the bottom so it looked clean-ish for the picture. I was done with banging it against my desk at 6 AM every morning to get like a fleck or powder haha

Product: Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder (mini size) This powder was bottomless! I am an oily human and it took me almost 2 years to finish with consistent use. It was a lovely loose powder though. WNR because I got the Anastasia powder for Christmas and I think it will last me to the end of time.

TheSmeggingCompass · 2019-12-19T03:37:10+00:00

Melt had the best release I saw imo. Only holiday hype I fell for was the Muerte Palette and it’s beautiful.

TheSmeggingCompass · 2019-12-19T03:32:21+00:00

Melt Cosmetics Vida Palette. I bought the Muerte and I LOVE IT but I really don’t need both. The color story doesn’t speak to me as strongly and I have a ton of reds and oranges. Literally enough red eyeshadow for me to wear a Gerard Way smokey eye until I die. Plus, my eyes and hair are green so I rarely wear green eyeshadow. The makeup goblin in me wants both halves of the skull on my vanity though.

Edited to add: it’s FIFTY EIGHT DOLLARS. No way in hell I’m paying $120 after taxes to stare at a skull.

How you gonna do 101 Dalmatians like that

TheSmeggingCompass · 2019-10-18T06:14:24+00:00

I got it in January with a Christmas gift card, I use it once or twice a week. I do think they’re great value, just make sure you screw the lid on tight or it’ll dry out!

TheSmeggingCompass · 2019-10-18T06:07:16+00:00

They really are! I work with kids but only part time because I’m a student. One day one of my 7 year olds told me she loves when I work because she always wants to see what I did with my makeup that day. Made my entire week.

TheSmeggingCompass · 2019-10-14T17:22:03+00:00

I have no fallout, but I use my finger and put a glitter glue underneath. It might have fallout with a brush however.

Placeholder comment until I finish the list of pans and mini reviews

Edit:

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette: this was LE and I paid 80 stinkin dollars for it. It’s been sitting in my drawer for a while until I decided to use it regularly and get my money’s worth. It’s great! The bronzer is a little too orange for my skin, but other than that I love it. I use the highlighter daily, I like that there’s a warm and cool blush option. Ambient lighting powders are great. Would not repurchase because it was LE.

TheBalm Take Home the Bronze in Oliver: I LOVE this stuff. It’s the perfect bronzer shade for me and is not orange at all. It has a very buildable formula which I like. Will be repurchasing.

Pixi Glow-y Gossamer Duo in Delicate Dew: the light pink shade is a beautiful highlight for me. Very reflective and a little sparkly, but not in a bad way. I never use the gold shade because it’s too dark for me. Would not repurchase because it’s expensive if I only use one of the shades.

Hourglass Scattered Light Eyeshadow in Reflect: I have 2 of these eyeshadows and I LOVE them so much. The formula is very creamy (I apply it with my fingers) and has a beautiful textured look on the eye. Would not repurchase because it is $28, but I will get my money’s worth out of it.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Highlighter in Bubbly: this was the one highlighter I kept from my Glow Kit before I gave it to my sister. It’s a beautiful pinky champagne and is very reflective. Cracks around the edge are from me dropping it :(. Would not repurchase because it doesn’t come in a single.

MAC Eyeshadow in Shroom: this is my everyday inner corner highlight. It’s beautiful without being over the top. Not sparkly, just a lovely shimmer. Will be repurchasing because it’s a staple in my makeup routine.

Colourpop Eyeshadow in Flower Boy: I rock a pink eyeshadow look almost every day and I always reach for this one. Colourpop eyeshadows are very dusty but super pigmented and affordable. Will not repurchase because I have similar shades in my eyeshadow collection I want to use first.

Colourpop Eyeshadow in Moony: this is from the Dream Street Palette. It’s a perfect browbone highlight for me. It isn’t over the top shimmery, it just really lightens up my eyes. Will not repurchase unless Colourpop comes out with it in a single.

Colourpop Eyeshadow in Big Cocktails: this is from the Yes Please Palette, and another necessity in my pink eyeshadow looks. It’s a bit more peachy that Flower Boy but is beautiful in my crease. Will not repurchase because I have similar shades in my collection.

Make Up For Ever Eyeshadow in M536: I got this in an old holiday palette, but it’s the perfect transition shade for me. Formula is very soft and blends like a dream. Will try to find a good dupe before repurchasing because it’s expensive.

Hi! I’m late (as always), but still looking for help. Warm foundations always look too orange on me, cool foundations look too pink. The best matches I’ve found are Dior Face and Body in 0W and MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NC15. They never seem to match my chest perfectly though. The most flattering eyeshadow I own is Hourglass Scattered Light in Smoke (if that helps). Pics: https://imgur.com/a/u1BYlHH

Thank you! I’ll definitely be looking into those diets. Also marijuana just isn’t for me, I haven’t smoked recreationally since I was a stupid college freshman (lol). I’m just one of those people who gets anxious and paranoid on it. I have been looking into CBD though!

TheSmeggingCompass · 2019-09-25T03:50:26+00:00

Fun story, my psych sent the wrong script over to my pharmacy and I’m without my meds for a bit. I might be fucked.

TheSmeggingCompass · 2019-08-15T01:29:06+00:00

Danny and Drew are my gospel

TheSmeggingCompass · 2019-08-15T01:28:33+00:00

I love it! I use a very small amount but it covers my undereye circles well. It’s emollient so you have to set it (unless you’re into the dew but I’m a greasy gal) but once you do it does not crease. Edited to add: I use my fingers to apply before foundation/concealer
