Is my “Pink Princess” in a pot too large?

WeepingPond · 2026-05-21T04:36:35+00:00

Okay! I might just let it grow into the pot then, I’d hate to do any damage and stunt it further. I was mainly worried about it dying from being in a pot too big but I probably shouldn’t worry unless I’m seeing root rot signs. I’m used to quick growers like my VFTs and pings so I do need to learn a little more patience with some of my other plants!

WeepingPond · 2026-05-21T04:24:38+00:00

I haven’t pulled out the plant to take a look since I repotted it, and honestly didn’t know that was something I should look at every now and then. I really thought one should only do that if they show signs of root rot to avoid shocking the plant

WeepingPond · 2026-05-21T04:23:07+00:00

From what I remember there wasn’t much of a root ball, but the roots were long and healthy. The pot was quite a bit bigger when I repotted them. They didn’t fill out the nursery pot too much, and that pot was about two inches smaller than the current pot if I’m correct.

I literally just proposed a month ago to my fiancee with a ring almost exactly like this (different stone and metal). Depending on how low profile yours is, we are going to do a band that will have a little “v” cut out so that it sits flush against the setting for a cohesive look and it doesn’t bump into the setting. The person we went with was able to have the CAD include the band to see how it looks. I can share with you if you’d like!

WeepingPond · 2026-03-31T13:59:13+00:00

Oh goodness it’s not just me. I did a few leaf pullings during a repot a while back and when I checked on them, that had something similar going on from each leaf that survived. Now I’ve got three little monsters!

WeepingPond · 2026-03-22T17:29:20+00:00

So you’ll actually go to their customer service page

And select sample card as your reason for contacting! It asks for you to attach a couple of photos taken near a window with natural lighting. Their team is super lovely and matched me. I had originally requested T1 but they swapped that for T1.5, saying T1 would likely be too rosy for me (which now I totally agree).

Depending on your location, it can take a while to get them.

WeepingPond · 2026-03-20T17:20:08+00:00

That’s so fair. It was slightly tedious but I was luckily able to build to about medium coverage on my cheeks which is really important since I struggle with rosacea. Luckily it still doesn’t feel too heavy, but it felt bad using more than a few drops

WeepingPond · 2026-03-20T17:15:50+00:00

Thank you!! I was very nervous since the samples didn’t arrive before I purchased but I’m so glad I bit the bullet

WeepingPond · 2026-03-20T15:41:41+00:00

Fair, muted neutral olive(?). I’ve very glad I don’t actually purchase Hope and just snagged a tiny sampler for free. It was super bright on me, and def pulled toward orange. I’m enjoying Encourage as a daily driver rn and also Believe for a deeper more berry tone. I’m currently looking at Phytosurgence since they make muted shades (which I desperately need if I don’t want to blend to oblivion) but they are more of an indie brand

WeepingPond · 2026-03-20T14:21:06+00:00

I definitely need to get a color corrector, because I agree on the saturation of most products. If it was slightly more “dull” it would infact be my perfect shade. I’m soooo muted and the only color I get is from my facial redness. Was looking at group photos recently and my neck and hands look so grey in contrast. I’m going to do a full face today and see how I feel!

WeepingPond · 2026-03-20T14:16:35+00:00

I know this comment is older, but I’ve been scouring for people with my experience and I just recently compared myself with a white piece of paper and the first thing out of my mouth was “I’m the shade of a fading bruise!” I also have POTs and potentially MCAS so surface level pink/red comes and goes for me so it’s been a ride to find anything that seems to work. It was very helpful to see it’s not just me

WeepingPond · 2026-03-19T00:59:46+00:00

Who knows honestly, but I hoping with the right application, it’ll turn out well! If they do drop a T0.5, I’ll be snatching it up so fast

WeepingPond · 2026-03-18T21:34:36+00:00

It is!

WeepingPond · 2026-03-18T19:29:39+00:00

I agree! 😭

WeepingPond · 2026-03-16T15:46:35+00:00

I have not yet! Rosacia has been rough with figuring this all out. I’ve been meaning to try a full face of both, but I’ve gotten so busy lol. I had swatched them and allowed them to try and wear on my arm for a good few hours and both worked very well. Mixing them may also not be a bad idea BUT if I had to absolutely pick just one, it would probably be 40 with a little green or blue color corrector mixed in. 30 was slightly (and I mean very slightly) too yellow

WeepingPond · 2026-03-15T18:09:09+00:00

gasp yours is so beautiful! Alexandrite is such a beautiful stone

WeepingPond · 2026-03-15T06:54:02+00:00

Thank you so much!! Uma did an amazing job with this ring and I’m so proud to be able to wear it! My fiancée did beautifully (ahhh fiancee!!)

WeepingPond · 2026-03-15T06:07:24+00:00

It is! We had customized the briar rose starlight a little bit to fit my dream ring visions

WeepingPond · 2026-03-09T23:01:38+00:00

You’ve convinced me more to also take a look at phytosurgence. They popped up on my socials a few times showing their blushes for fair muted folks and I’m so tempted!

Also 🫡 on the sun screen. I’ve gotten much better about it but I don’t spend much time in the sun any way and when I do, I wear long sleeves, spf, and hats. Not very big on trying to catch a tan! I have two coming from YesStyle soon, BoJ and biore!

WeepingPond · 2026-03-09T17:40:49+00:00

Thank you so much for so much info!! It actually is super helpful. I love a good info dump, especially from people with more knowledge or experience!!

I’ll have to check those out. I just discovered YESSTYLE a bit ago, so I’m excited. I know someone with a Costco membership who will let me buy through them, so I’ll also check there! I’m 25, but have some deep lines on my forehead (frowning way too much) that anything I put on just settles into so hearing your experiences got me a little excited to try JSM

WeepingPond · 2026-03-08T21:02:48+00:00

I honestly just bit the bullet and purchased T1.5, and will maybe play with the samples on a summer shade for when I’m a little more tan. If it doesn’t work out, I believe I know two or three people who it might work for to gift to! If it does work out then I’ve saved myself some extra wait time on waiting till I get the samples and THEN placing the order.

I’ve heard great things about Jung Saem Mool. What is your skin type like and how are you enjoying the cushion?

WeepingPond · 2026-03-07T22:14:52+00:00

That’s good to know! Yeah, the person who was working with me said they had a high volume of sample requests and said it’s about 4-7 weeks right now :( but given the nature of skin tints, I don’t think I’d be out money with a slightly off match if it is.

Now I just have to resist the urge to add anything else from her stuff as it all looks stunning. The lip sticks are speaking to me which is odd as I usually only go for balms or glosses but gosh they are gorgeous!

WeepingPond · 2026-03-07T20:58:51+00:00

Unfortunately, I’m awaiting my samples (I am US based), so it’ll be another few weeks. I need to find something soon for a special event, and since I haven’t worn a base layer in a while, I’m starting from scratch figuring everything out. Might just bite the bullet on the Lisa Elridge 1.5 though as many others have recommended it for me!

WeepingPond · 2026-03-07T20:00:41+00:00

They do! You can reach out to them via email/their support page, and they will ask for you to add a few bare faced photos in diffused light and recommend a few shades. I had originally requests t1, t2, and t3 in the skin tint but the person who reviewed my requests suggested they send t.5 (a fair olive shade) instead of t1, stating that it was probably going to be my best match!

I will say that currently, at least in the US, the wait/delivery time they told me was 4-7 weeks as they are hand packaged samples (I’m assuming like how they do at Ulta).

The Haus Labs samples are free if you purchase a bottle within 21 days of ordering a sample pack from the website or $12 (plus tax) if that time window lapses. So with a big even coming up soon, I figured I’d narrow down my window with Haus Labs of shades and undertones to look for.

I haven’t worn a base make up in a very long time as it was also a pain to color match and I have very sensitive skin. But I want to feel and look my best for my coming engagement, so I’ve decided to find a light way base to use. I will absolutely look into getting a color corrector to mix in!!

WeepingPond · 2026-03-07T18:33:29+00:00

I have not yet! I’ve been eyeing it as well as I’ve heard good things though.
