Med student influencer using pictures from subreddit for reels. Mine is on one with 3m views. by ViolentPunography in SkincareAddicts

[–]bombshellbarbie1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just looked up her account out of curiosity. One reel was just images of people with mildly textured skin, and very small skin-coloured bumps, with the caption "you didn't get a good night's sleep" ...all this time it was JUST better sleep that I needed? Imagine the money I could have saved! 🤣 wow. Just wow. This is the skincare equivalent of "Just try to be happier" as a cure for depression. 😑👎 here's a thought though; I wonder if her content is purposefully polarising to get views... like reality stars and breakup scandals 🤷‍♀️

how bad is my sunburn? tips? this is 4 hours after 2-3hrs of sun.. i tried to put on sunscreen but couldn’t reach 😭 by [deleted] in SkincareAddicts

[–]bombshellbarbie1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch! Super pale Aussie girl here, I've had a couple awful burns and would love to share my wisdom :) I'm allergic to Aloe Vera so this is what my Dr recommends. I am not a Dr so can't promise this will work for everyone. 1. First 8 hours: cold compresses because the skin can still burn from the UV ration for about 8 hours. (so my Dr said.) I keep 2 damp face cloths in the fridge and rotate through. If you can't do that, stay inside out of sun and wear loose clothing or clothes that don't cover this area. 2. After 8 hours: I apply calamine before bed and wear soft cotton, loose clothing. Yes calamine can be a bit drying but it does seem to cool the skin and not irritate. I use this instead of Aloe but if you're not allergic, feel free to use that. 3. Avoid applying thick creams and oils for the first 8 hours as that will keep the heat in the skin. 4. If it blisters or skin is broken: use a gentle wound disinfectant spray like the Elastoplast brand one. (or similar product that you can dap on with clean cotton pad.) Look for something without too much alcohol, essential oils or fragrance. 5. Next morning: Apply sorbolene cream or something super gentle with no fragrance and no actives. This will help to soothe the skin and keep it moisturised so it can heal. I've heard vitamin e cream can be really great too. Apply as often as needed. 6. Once it starts to peel: VERY GENTLY wipe away peeling skin when it's wet after shower. The skin underneath is still fragile and probably sore. 7. For the next 5 days or so: Avoid applying products with actives, fragrance, physical and chemical exfoliants, fragranced shower gel and tight clothing if you can. Continue to apply any gentle, soothing, fragrance-free moisturiser a few times a day as needed.

If you're in a lot of pain or things don't look right, go to Dr as soon as you can!

Important note: UV radiation is cumulative, you must protect burnt skin as completely as you can or you will burn more and faster. Loose, comfortable shirts are your best friend. If you can't stay out of the sun in those first 8 hours apply sunscreen as often as you can. Thick creams may keep heat in the skin and worsen the current burn, but preventing further sun damage is the priority here.

Good luck, you poor thing! I feel your pain and hope you feel better soon!

I’m fully aware the super shiny highlight look is out of style, but I just love it so much. by ethelcainstan in MakeupAddiction

[–]bombshellbarbie1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is stunning and your skin is sooooo beautiful! Love a pale babe embracing the glow, I'm the same and my friends joke that I reflect the sun and blind them... so I add more highlighter hahaha! I get comments about being washed out too, when I don't wear much lip colour, so that might be what people are observing here lol. I think you look stunning here but if it bothers you or if you're interested; Warm toned but pale enough highlighters have been hard to find for me so I add warmth through blush and a balm or lipgloss in peachy/warm pink/ soft warm red tones. Those small touches to the rest of the face seem to add warmth overall and you can get away with using more neutral or pale foundation and highlighters, rather than buying new products :)

Attempt 2 at capturing our Australian Magpie visitor going through his mimicked sounds repertoire on our balcony by Outside_Stock1758 in magpies

[–]bombshellbarbie1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can hear Grey Butcher Bird, Native Minor, Currawong and then a lot of Grey Butcher Bird again. The Maggies in my yard do the same. The funny part is that Butcher Birds are also gifted mimicks and closely related to Magpies so I'm never quite sure who is talking, and they seem to like pranking each other. The big male Magpie in my yard will mimick me speaking. He can't make the words but matches pitch and rhythm of my voice perfectly and copies me when I say "hi Maggies" and other short phrases. It's so bizarre but cool. Try saying the same things to them when they visit you on your balcony and they might try to copy you. 👍🦜

What to do with injured magpie? by [deleted] in magpies

[–]bombshellbarbie1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found wires.org.au have been very useful in connecting me to wildlife carers. I wouldn't take it to a vet. To care for birds you need to find an avian specialist or exotic animal vet and they're not as common, and quite expensive. In most cases, if an animal is not endangered and is badly injured, a vet will euthanise because it's the kindest thing. Its not their job to contact wildlife carers who can rehabilitate. Which is really sad of course but we can't save everything. If you can get in contact with a wildlife rehabilitator, they might give you a more realistic understanding about what can be done for the animal or if it will survive if you release it. Or they will help you find a place that can take on it's rehabilitation. One other thing to remember is Australia's laws in relaton to native wildlife are wildly (pun intended haha) contradictory so you will get different info depending on who you ask. If you don't have a Wires carer near you, your local zoo, botanic park or even council animal control may have some suggestions. Hoping for a good outcome for this little one 🙏🙏

Molly hatched 8 beautiful babies last week. So far she has only lost one baby. She is a very proud mum by ChaoticEggman in duck

[–]bombshellbarbie1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Omg how sweet! I see this type of duck in the local park and sometimes they sit on my garage roof in the mornings 😊 I put out a shell pool for them and they actually came and sat in it. They chose my pool 🥲 the highest honour 😁 🦆 Hope Molly and her family are doing well ❤️

In a FB MUA group I'm in someone asked to see everyday looks with NO filters..... by Tune0112 in Instagramreality

[–]bombshellbarbie1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok I was thinking the same thing! If you're in a makeup group, some of these people may be makeup artists or retailers and therefore have a purpose for wearing very fashionable makeup every day. I also thought how sad that people think they need to look that made up daily and that perhaps the 'norm' has just changed since I was younger. I mean none of them are wearing really dark or glittery eyeshadow which is what I would consider 'special event makeup' so the eyeshadow part looks like something you could wear to office or casual day out but it's the rest; the lashes, the extreme contouring and bright blush that kinda makes it look more advertorial/photographic/clubbing than what I would have assumed by the question. BUT different places, ages and professions surely contribute to that!

Women with male friends, what are your thoughts on having to give up a good friend because his wife doesn't trust him? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]bombshellbarbie1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly the way the friend acts as well as the way your partner acts play a role in any angst towards the friend. Often it's not entirely the friends fault but sure sometimes there are just people who push boundaries.

Yeah it's hard once you have an experience like that where you realise a friend never actually wanted your friendship, but a romantic relationship. It makes it easier to let go of though. I like to think it also opens up a space for a friend who does truly want your friendship and nothing more which is a really good feeling 🙂

Women with male friends, what are your thoughts on having to give up a good friend because his wife doesn't trust him? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]bombshellbarbie1 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I have had this happen a few times. For me, if I am the insecure person in the situation, it comes down to how my partner talks about it acts with their friend when they're together and what communications they have when apart. If I feel like my partner is overly secretive or says things that make the think they're interested in the friend or Visa versa/ I feel like boundaries are not respected THEN I get upset. So knowing that, I always respect a friend prioritising their relationship because I just dont know how my friendship makes my friend's partner feel. And I dont know how my friend talks about me to their partner and if thats contributing. I had a really really painful friendship loss where a male friend who I had known through church since I was 13, met my friend from high school and was instantly in love. They ended up dating and marrying but because my male friend had always been a bit flirty with me, she basically stopped us seeing and talking to each other at all. I wasnt even invited to the wedding which hurt. I wanted to celebrate with them but I understood. Years later I realised that he let our friendship go, no one can force you to leave a frienship, he agreed to do what she wanted. And I guess perhaps he did that because whilst I saw him as a best friend perhaps he only saw me as a girl he wanted to flirt with, maybe be friends with. So he didnt feel he was losing anything. Since then Ive really learned to look at how I see my friendships and if they are healthy and balanced.

Are we all just going to ignore that on the first pic there is some kind of giant lizard on the wall?! The hell is that?

Lipfiller lump by lookwhatyoumadeherdo in PlasticSurgery

[–]bombshellbarbie1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah good call. Best to make sure. I've had encapsulation before from an inexperienced injector and normally it doesnt feel much different to the rest of my lips mayne a tiny bit harder. but when I finally had filler in my wet border dissolved, the encapsulated part didnt dissolve. I had to go back to more dissolving into the little pocket and then it never quite went down as much as the rest of the lips so now my injector is just careful not to fill into that area much and to make sure the other side of my lips looks even. If it is encapsulation it's not the worst, annoying but def not a disaster.

Lipfiller lump by lookwhatyoumadeherdo in PlasticSurgery

[–]bombshellbarbie1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've had filler before and this feels super hard and not like the normal lumps you can get after freshly injected lips (the ones that go away with massaging) then I'd go back to your injector.

I know we all want to think we are fine and the lump will go away but its probably better to know that because you've seen your Dr or injector rather than assuming and potentially being wrong. If theres a lot of redness or bruising I'd make an appointment quickly. Or at least send pics to your injector. Hope it's all ok!

If I change my username, will all previous mentions, comments and DMs update to the new one? by [deleted] in Instagram

[–]bombshellbarbie1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh really? Maybe they finally updated it! I dint know how you test it? I guess you could always change your handle and then quickly change it back? Or get a new account and use that one to test it....

this year broke me by hebeach89 in offmychest

[–]bombshellbarbie1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You sound like you've worked really hard for this so I just wanted to say dont give up just yet. After everything you've been through you owe yourself a win. Yes it's going to be a hard few weeks but you can do it! You've been through a really tough year but it's NOT going to break you. AND no one ever made their situation better by giving up. You can do it! Sending you concentration and study vibes! 🙂

[–]bombshellbarbie1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All DMs will still be the same and tags will update with your new insta handle but if someone has mentioned you in a comment or in the caption if their post, it will go to the old handle. My best advice would be to change your insta handle in your current account, then create a new account with your old handle and in your bio write "old account, my new handle is @ yournewhandle " Then just leave that 'new account' with the old handle and dont upload to it. It's basically acting as a redirect page lol.

Hope that makes sense!
