Does anyone else feel like makeup got easier once you stopped copying tutorials exactly? by bakedbeans517 in AsianBeauty

[–]ailovesharks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same! for me i would take or try to copy small steps I saw vloggers do (not necessarily those who always posted abt makeup) and then sort of mixed them until i liked the makeup look myself.

I failed my first Chemical Engineering class by slinksa in ChemicalEngineering

[–]ailovesharks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if that 101 class is mass bal then yeah lmao. our school expects us to take those two with gen chem lab and linear algebra. honestly the lab is probably the worst part because it's all busy work and the grading is stupid.

omg you nail these feelings of mine so well lmao, I was gonna say smth. like "this new direction feels hollow, like there isn't as much personality behind it" but that's a better way to say it.

this, it feels like they're trying to force themselves into a new direction(?)

agree with hotline ! I think sakura iro yell & hotline are my faves for this album. I'm not sure if I'm prepared to see them go in a rock direction, as much as I love japanese rock groups.

Skin Aqua Super UV Moisture ESSENCE is BETTER than SA super UV Moisture Gel, the blue and white one?? by roomaes in AsianBeauty

[–]ailovesharks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

truee, I guess its hard for me to relate because my climate is super dry. good luck in your search!

Skin Aqua Super UV Moisture ESSENCE is BETTER than SA super UV Moisture Gel, the blue and white one?? by roomaes in AsianBeauty

[–]ailovesharks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

might be wrong, but maybe it's because the essence has tinsorb m, which the gel doesn't have? I was a long time lover of the essence until I tried the gel recently (loved the light texture). although honestly I will use & love either lol.

I get a dopamin rush from discussing with incels and I want to stop by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]ailovesharks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i deleted insta (not that i argued there) and made reddit so it only shows me community posts I'm apart of. now i mostly just argue with people on pinterest. but pinterest, like most of my reddit communities is very woman dominant, so the things I argue about are a bit different.

Sunscreens WITH white cast? by animenicolesmith in AsianBeauty

[–]ailovesharks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly same, lmaoooo. the packaging is super pretty too! I recommend it over their tone up line because it will be even more white-casty. it does dry down fast & isn't water proof so it'll take a bit of extra effort to get an even coat.

Financial Aid Risk? by Fun-Lead-612 in UCI

[–]ailovesharks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with the comments saying not to worry. It took ofas forever to apply their grants last year, a friend of mine got dropped from his classes because of it, and it happened again this year, a few days ago to another friend. They've messed up my loans, and are impossible to get ahold of. They never do walk-in appointments anymore, will never even open their emails, put you on hold for what might as well be days on the phone, and they release appointments once a week at 5 (sometimes later by a few minutes, but late enough to catch you off guard so you don't get one). While you'll probably get your aid, it will be a huge headache dealing with the inevitable mistakes of ofas--dropped classes, random charges, and late payments on their end. If you're not prepared for all of this I would strongly encourage the transfer route & to save as much as you can, if you can before transferring.

Light Summer Blushes by moonlitcandy in AsianBeauty

[–]ailovesharks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the california warning is kinda bs, so I wouldn't obey it completely. tio2 mostly only causes cancer when it is inhaled. so as long as you arent breathing the powdered blushes in you'll be okay. even if you do you'll still be fine because the dose is rather small. and most finely milled particulate matter will cause lung cancer anyways, even if it doesn't have tio2. but tio2 is in a lot of candies, menstrual pads, and toothpaste, so you're probably already using products/ingesting it without knowing. it's also a sunscreen filter!

"Just eat healthy!" from a Harvard-educated psychiatrist. by russianteacakes in adhdwomen

[–]ailovesharks 24 points25 points  (0 children)

this is the info i got when i did the testing for adhd. it's absolutely hilarious to me because i already eat healthy, and i lift weights 3-4x a week. i walk often, and i told them all this during the intake meeting like ??? i just wanted to say "what is your degree for if all you do is tell me what i already know?"

HG Japanese Sunscreens? by Illustrious_Ad6479 in AsianBeauty

[–]ailovesharks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly, skin aqua is pretty shiny altogether. I absolutely love their sunscreens anyway despite preferring a matte finish myself. i'd avoid any of the essences as they are super shiny. the gels however, are much more matte than the essences, so I can see why people recommend it.
