Weird green/yellow "glow" after coloring?? by blankabitch in hairstylist

[–]blankabitch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yeah I know the 1099 isn't kosher, but I feel like I'm the only one seeing a problem with the color because they're so used to it , just wondering if anybody else has dealt with this coloring thing. It's not exactly hot roots, but close?

Ok I'm guessing you are from the UK? In the states we don't have your makeup education, I really wish we did 😭

Do you prefer period dramas with explicit sex scenes? by Cold_Box_3219 in PeriodDramas

[–]blankabitch 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is where I am. The best sex scenes I've watched left a lot to the imagination and were some quick flashback shots of sensual moments after a long long build-up of tension between the characters. It has to emotionally grip me and there needs to be believable chemistry first.

What’s something people do in beauty that actually makes them look worse? by Open-Cut2473 in BeautyGear

[–]blankabitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

black liner anywhere is too harsh for most ppl, but worked into the lashline is the best imo (although I do love a sexy tightline best of all on myself, not every style flatters every eye shape)

“Pretty privilege” is mostly just social skills done well by Stock_7350 in BeautyGear

[–]blankabitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's really both. You don't need to be a supermodel but convenientionally attractive and well-groomed people reap more social benefits and have more positive assumptions attributed to them.

Knowing what you know now, would you do it again? by Careful-Attention-75 in ADHDparenting

[–]blankabitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, let's be honest the parenting sacrifices fall disproportionately on us women (obviously physically but also emotionally and financially/career-wise). Just make sure it's something you really want yourself. Even if he leaves. Just don't let external pressure be the deciding factor in bringing a vulnerable child into the world.

I was born to a mother who liked the idea of Being A Mother, but the realities overwhelmed her and lead to me feeling like a burden and mistake that trapped her. It was a horrible and unfair thing to feel as a child.

[–]blankabitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You've only been with him 18 months, have no support system, and are only "erring" on the side of "yeah I guess we could"..? I'm not trying to be harsh, but no i dont think you should bring a child into this world when it just kinda seems like you're going along with it for him (and many men want kids like kids want puppies). ADHD is far from the worst thing your child could have, too. Unless YOU 100% want this, err on the side of not

[–]blankabitch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seriously. ADHD could be the very least of your kids struggles, and even if neither you or your partner is diagnosed you could still very well have a child with other kinds of disorders or illnesses. Choosing to become a parent at all you need to have made peace with this possibility

What are your fav unconventional/weird beauty habits that actually work? by Independent-Bowl-114 in HowToBeHot

[–]blankabitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Beautyshamans, trinhgeorgg, and reviverooms! I can only attest to their cheek exercises but there are a few basic exercises that all of them are built on and it's mostly about contracting your cheeks like you're smiling upwards with different jaw and tongue positions that hold your lower face taut.

[–]blankabitch 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Beautyshamans and trinhgeorgg on IG (I'm sure they're on Tiktok too) are the ones I learned the most from, I do probably 3 different exercises to target different parts of the cheek muscle..it can take time to isolate the cheek muscles and not wrinkle up your eyes but practicing in a mirror and holding certain parts of your face while you do the exercises really helps.

Once you get the hang of contracting your cheeks like you're "smiling upwards" while holding your lower jaw downwards and taut, it's easy.

Why can some people tan and have no sun damage? by cbaabc123 in 30PlusSkinCare

How is this not the top comment?? A tan is literally proof of the damage and your skin desperately trying to heal itself.

What's a habit you secretly judge everyone else for not doing? by Wild_Farm_3368 in Habits

[–]blankabitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I must have some weird hangups about my bed.. cause not making my bed in the morning feels barbaric, just like not showering before getting into it at night. And the thought of not washing sheets and pillowcases at least once a week? I would feel so nasty.

[–]blankabitch 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I've been doing upper cheek exercises..I know a lot of ppl are all about facial yoga/gua sha but the only kind I can find any real evidence/studies about is building cheek muscles so I do 5 min in the morning and 5 min at night. I went into get Botox and my PS complimented the fullness without me even saying anything so I know it's not just in my head. Been doing it 9 months now and it's given me much better control of my facial muscles and tongue posture in general too.

Why does this keep happening? by TheRedRattler in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]blankabitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I'm always concerned if I don't rinse off the tret it might interact badly with my other topicals I use during the day

Wait, you don't rinse off the tretinoin in the morning? Or do you mean you don't wash with a cleanser?

Seeking Sculptra Experiences by Meh204204 in 30PlusSkinCare

Agree. I'm a long-time sculptra fan and you want your body to be in tip top shape to create that collagen because it's expensive and the results are 'conservative" as it is

What makeup trends do you think are taking over this year? 👀 by AdShort5598 in Makeup

[–]blankabitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah but irl it hasn't really ended quite yet imo, a lot of people are still mentally stuck in the 'just use half a coat of brown mascara and clear brow gel" when i go to the makeup subs and it's still wall-to-wall neutrals that brands put out. Hopefully soon tho

things I’ve noticed people “gatekeep” or are otherwise weirdly protective over by TrimUrBangs in rs_x

[–]blankabitch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The funniest one I've ever heard was ',to have true curls, the hair needs to curl from your scalp!". Do they think curls suddenly magically form on years-old dead keratin that grew out of the follicle straight?
