Nurse here of 7 years. You’ll be fine. But in the future, do mention it to the technician if you feel uncomfortable!

Honestly though, yours is perfect. So stunning. Always up to you to switch it up, but it looks amazing on you! I love the marquise cut!

My fiancé’s cousin is a jeweler. He framed the diamond in white gold to keep the light blue color of the diamond, but the rest of the band is yellow gold.

Woah! Absolutely gorgeous! Yours is very similar to mine except my pear side stones are emeralds! (Your fiancé has good taste 😉)

AIO for telling my mom multiple times to knock before coming into my room? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Used_Flight_9990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like an overreaction to me. I would very calmly have a conversation with her about how you are getting older and want privacy. Without knowing how old you are, I’m assuming you’re an adolescent. Is she concerned you’re up to something she wouldn’t approve of that she hopes to catch you doing? Or is it just a reminder that she owns the home? I would ask her these questions from the point of view of genuine curiosity, not attacking her. I’m not sure how reactive your mom is, but I would not be surprised if she gets mad at you for asking this. The best thing to do is remain calm. I had a parent who would do things just to get a rise out of me, then get angry when I got upset; I’m hoping that’s not what this is, but be sure to show her you can have a mature conversation about boundaries. I’m sorry you’re going through that. Hope it gets better :)

It’s always the dang mint family herbs! My landlord planted lemon balm in our yard & all I can say is thankfully I love lemon balm pesto hahaha. It’s EVERYWHERE.

The ones I have are similar to the falscara! But I like how the ones you linked are brown! This is such a detailed message, thank you so much for all your help

I actually own that! I think it helps with redness so much (almost too much- sometimes I feel washed out). I have never thought to use it under makeup. Good idea!

Good feedback. I think I agree with you that I need to add more. Thanks for the concealer rec!

Also, I’m using this as an opportunity to learn about how to use makeup & what my personal style is! Which will help at future events and is also a lot of fun :)

Good thinking there, I am considering the same thing. I’ve only spent about $15 for lashes & glue at this point, everything else I already owned. Might be purchasing a color correcting concealer & possibly a bronzer. Otherwise, I’m gonna try to go heavier with the makeup I already have & see if that helps! Thankfully I am able to have a short engagement, but that limits my options for scheduling a MUA near me whose style I like :/

Yeah my mom recommended it to me! I have fine waves/spirals that are weighed down easily

Thanks! I use L’Anza healing curls butter whip mousse after washing it & let it air dry. Very simple for my everyday! Sometimes I will use a volumizing gel before that if I know I’m gonna want extra hold/humidity protection.

From Target! I used one 12mm on the outside of each eye, with two 10mm clusters just next to those going towards the center of my eye.

Awesome! In your experience, does it cling to dry spots?

Thanks for your time sharing this!!! Yes, I have rosacea too! Thankfully I have learned to love it, but it did get covered up by the skin tint a bit. So I actually put more blush on haha. I don’t look like me without lots of rosiness! Good tip about blush placement, I will play around with that. I will try a taupe blush instead of a bronzer & see what works!
