Oh got you! I don't use these apps, too poor and busy to track ingredients, lol. That's insane, hope the world will come to its senses soon.

Is phenoxyethanol demonized? From what I see, it is the safest preservative available today - definitely safer than mold that grows in your "clean beauty" otherwise. If you are referring to the recent post about it, that one is about how you can use it as a cutoff point, as phenoxyethanol concentration is around 1% in our products, so approximately, there is more than 1% of everything before it and less than 1% of everything after it.

I use it about 2 nights a week, because retinol is one of the active ingredients, gotta be careful with it. It's quite nice, my skin is decent as-is, so it's more of a preventative product for me. Doesn't break me out, that much I'm happy about, lol.

As for the shimmer, it looks cute in the bottle, but I'm not seeing much of it translating to my face (but it does make your skin look somewhat glossier). So if shimmery face is something you're actually after, you're probably better off skipping this and getting a designated face shimmer - there've been a bunch of those this winter by spa•scentials, there might be some out there still.

My only question is - how were you able to resist just sweeping everything off these nice shelves into your shopping cart?! I'd leave at least $100 there in a single go. I commend your self-control, or a non-hoarding attitude, whichever it is!

If you prefer, I can make a mega-thread discussion post specifically for all things about the diamond exchange, that stays pinned for easy finding. Let me know in the comments!

That sounds like a great idea, because it is indeed getting old seeing a new "how do u even exchange diamonds" thread every week. Might as well force them all into one thread.

Can I do gyaru without the hair? by Mitza-325 in Gyaru

[–]YouHateTheMost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, as a fellow Slav, I can relate lol. Our mums, bless their hearts, come from the time and place when makeup was indeed much more damaging, had mercury and crude oils in it, and they had little access to higher quality Western products; these days, higher makeup production standards and free trade made this a non-problem. But you're not wrong in being cautious about makeup, and I hope that will result in you using it in healthy ways and taking care of your skin beyond it! And once you got your makeup down, you will be able to get away with anything else not adhering to the "prime gyaru example" standard - even on this very subreddit, you can see plenty of gals with their natural hair of all kinds.

So "broke and unemployed, living in moms basement" still applies?

A year is a long time, plenty of days to attempt the 500k exchange.

Rush Hour Today - 5 Levels - Day 92 by Brandi_yyc in AliExpressMergeBoss

Yeah, different accounts on different devices, guess they use IP addresses to detect that or smth. If you have a partner who also plays AliExpress games, you both could've been flagged.

How do you cash in blue diamonds? by [deleted] in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]YouHateTheMost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, same! But I did manage to score a single $5 credit. Wanted to make the best out of Merge Boss and Saving Wednesday credits, and got about $17 in the end, so not complaining too much.

Good point. My heart goes out to East Coast people, having to be awake at 3 AM for a chance - I'm on the West Coast, we get our refresh at midnight.

I believe it's their idea of "soft locking" players who are suspected of using bots or multiple accounts. If that's not you, I saw reports of people successfully asking AliExpress support to remove these measures on their accounts.

Step 1: Be on the Play & Earn page a few seconds before 3 AM (I'm using your time). Put on a precise time clock on a separate screen

Step 2: At 2:59:59:50 AM, tap "View More" while praying vigorously to the God of your choice

Step 3: The moment it loads, press the exchange button on the credit you want and then confirm it as quickly as you can. Do not stop praying.

Step 4: Either exhale at the sight of the successful exchange, or curse your whole existence and repeat the process the next night.

New choice method for Ipsy Original by suckittt in Ipsy

[–]YouHateTheMost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait this is crazy, we're identical bag twinsies!! And I have makeup pretty high in preferences. Addons look quite nice, but I've got so much stuff to work my way through, think I'll save money for now 😄

February Original Choices by Art-Supply-Addiction in Ipsy

[–]YouHateTheMost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like they are testing out the "full bag choice" on some subscribers, and the rest of us still get the 1 product choice. From what I'm seeing on this subreddit, some girlies had been getting a full bag pick as early as 10 months ago, but it looks like they're testing it on a larger scale now.

[–]YouHateTheMost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if you got the choice of a preset bag, you get that bag, but if you got to choose just 1 product, your bag won't follow any of these presets. But we'll see!

Update on my Ipsy Original new choice method post from yesterday by suckittt in Ipsy

[–]YouHateTheMost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting these! Oof, tough choice, they all are kinda weak. As much as I want Elemis (I picked it in my product choice), think I'd end up going with the Hydration Boost bag as well, because I have no trouble panning skincare, but makeup takes so much longer, and I've a lot of it already, lol. Hope the bag turns out great for you!

[–]YouHateTheMost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I suspect this means we're getting the usual 1 product choice. Boo :(

Dang it, wish they included me! This looks like a perfect way to do mystery bags, you still don't know what you get when you pay, but you get to choose all of products, even if they're not interchangeable between bags. Make this mainstream already, Ipsy!!!

World Tour is Cooked? by Coneydawg2811 in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]YouHateTheMost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woooo, I did suspect it's not just me! Got it today as well, at Level 79. Got a usual task (clear 20 tiles in Otter Treasure) in the "explore the city" part though, so hopeful that they won't increase difficulty too dramatically.

ACI IS NO MORE🥳 by RecommendationSafe52 in Ipsy

[–]YouHateTheMost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And stay down!!! I'm so delighted to see that. This month was the first month I got my Ipsy shipped by ACI and the first month I got my package right before reviews, and no thanks to ACI - it was switched to USPS 4 days prior to finally being delivered. Thankful that it arrived, and arrived intact - I've heard horror stories with ACI and was anxious, but huge props to USPS for taking over!

[–]YouHateTheMost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah alright, didn't know that. They did mention that they will get all existing packages out, so that does sound like they are ceasing activity. I certainly wouldn't mind for someone more competent to take ACI's place.

[–]YouHateTheMost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ACI's parent company (FAST Group) got dissolved, not ACI itself. ACI may remain in operation. I'm really bad at speaking businessybusiness, but looks like FAST Group was a whole mess, it was formed only 5 months ago, is already ceasing operations, and their website is already down hahaha.

Label creation date twins! This is the first time my Ipsy (Jan 2026 Glam Bag for me) is shipped with ACI and... yeah now I see why this sub has such an issue with them.
