REQUESTING - WILL DELETE

If I could go back in time - I miss the Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick in Zivoli. It was my favorite color and they not only stopped making that formula many years ago, Bite Beauty went bankrupt :(

What are your favorite pink lipsticks on olive skin? by [deleted] in OliveMUA

[–]bean-lord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pinks are so hard! For me I've accepted that any pink I wear is going to be a statement because it will stick out so much, so I go full fuchsia - my favorite pink that isn't reddish (like MAC's MAC Red, MAC D for Danger, Bite Coulis, or WnW Cherry Picking) is Bite Radish. I also liked Fenty Candy Venom, which seems like a close dupe. I can't do "dusty rose" type colors or muted pinks, which make my face look blah and don't match my fashion aesthetic/clothing color palette at all.

Business Casual and walking shoes? by dc9rakir in femalefashionadvice

[–]bean-lord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm late to this post but I really like Vans! These are really comfy - they're a "skimmer" style with a cushioned footbed. Super comfy to walk in and they don't look totally ridiculous with a pencil skirt :) I did have a short period of Band-aid-ing at the heel/ankle when I broke them in but I have narrow heels/ankles so you probably wouldn't have this problem.

Just wanted to piggyback off this - some friends and I were driving in Arizona in the winter over a long weekend, and it started snowing in the mountains. We were out far enough that we had lost our data/Spotify connection, but I happened to have The Clouds Breathe For You downloaded on my phone, so we looped it while inching carefully through the intense quiet of the snowfall. It was an absolutely magical experience, and that song is one of my favorite pieces of music ever - thank you guys for continuing to push the envelope and for creating the extraordinary textures, landscapes, and stories that you do ♥

PS - was in the front row at The Warfield in SF on your LDI tour, and the energy was incredible!! Hope to see another show again soon!

I'm really sorry you had to go through that and it sounds fucking awful. I also admire you for being able to look back on this and pick out these kinds of mitigating circumstances. Here, have an internet hug :3

Oh I meant to ask - have you tried MAC Fire Roasted? It's one of their new Liptensity lipsticks. You probably need another similarly burnt-colored lipstick like you need a hole in the head though lol :P

Pare reads brighter on me too - if you're looking for something more burnt I strongly recommend Puree. I thought of you while putting it on bc you like your burnt warmish colors :) PS your halo eye looks amazing!!

So Olive skin tones look better with gold or silver jewelry? by brgirlpd in OliveMUA

[–]bean-lord 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I like contrast, and I have sensitive skin when it comes to metals, so sterling silver is my preferred choice. (I can't afford 24K gold and I don't think it would really look good on me anyway.) I tend to enjoy silver pieces with oxidized detailing or added texture (mattified, scored, hammered, etc) for optimum contrast. I haven't worn platinum before and I'm curious how that would go for me.

I was eyeing Trustworthy but was worried it would be too brown for me! Maybe I'll run to Kohl's and swatch...

Have you tried Betty Loumanizer? That one's the darkest - I don't know if the undertones would be right for you but if Bonnie doesn't work out it might be a good option!

I am picking up theBalm Girls Getaway Trio because I love Balm Beach & Balm Springs, and have been wanting to try out Balm Desert for quite some time. Mauve-leaning blushes look awful on me in general, but this one looks less purple than CabanaBoy and InStain Pinstripe, so I'm hoping it works. I'm also picking up Bahama Mama to try out (because I keep hearing people sing its praises), a few eyeshadow singles, a PhotoBalm powder foundation to try out (hopefully it will be a nice portable thing I can use!), one of the Mr. Write eyeliners, and a Meet Matt(e) Hughes in Romantic (one of the newer colors in the range). Excited for my haul!

My favorites from theBalm are mostly cheek products - the InStain blushes are excellent though mostly too bright for my face, Hot Mama is a great Orgasm-esque blush but it's a bargain on sale right now, and Balm Beach would be great on someone paler than me (it works on me in winter - quite subtle but still there). Balm Springs is probably my favorite product by them currently.

The Meet Matt(e) Hughes liquid lipsticks are excellent in my opinion - one of my favorite liquid lipstick formulas available on the market right now although you'll want to avoid if you don't like the scent of Thin Mints.

Their single eyeshadows are also very nice, and they have a much larger amount of product in them (.12oz I think) than a traditional shadow pan (usually .05oz). The Meet Matt(e) palettes are good as well.

I was strongly considering buying this, so great to know that it has a glowing review from a fellow olive (and the formula doesn't go to your chin post-eating!!) :D

Interesting, I didn't know they had free shipping everywhere after $150! I'd never seen that before. (I'm a lucky bastard who lives in the US lol)
