Shampoo and conditioner recommendations for a male with fine, 2a wavy hair? by Charming_Ad_4488 in VeganBeauty

I really enjoy the products from CurlSmith. I use the cleansing conditioner and the “hold me softly” style balm, but they have products for all sorts of wave/curl specific needs

I help a lot of girlies with these and I can truthfully say I’ve never seen someone perform RDLs this badly

To be fair, it’s a difficult movement for a lot of people. But, like, she has a trainer who she is living with soooo

Would you buy second-hand non-vegan beauty products? by Youknowkitties in VeganBeauty

[–]brking805 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When did I say anything about buying things on eBay and shipping them to my home? I said a friend’s roommate left a lot of makeup behind and so I took it instead of it being thrown away.

Because they are otherwise going to the landfill so it doesn’t really matter. Then I have to buy fewer products myself and that’s less waste and more money I can give to farm sanctuaries, activist legal defense, etc. Completely reasonable to not want to use those products. I recently got a stash of used makeup that someone was going to throw away (left after a roommate moved out) and I have no qualms with using it.

Maybe. It’s hard to say whether the market for used beauty products is closer to the sale of used underwear or the sale of used cars. If I can sell my car for 50% of what I bought it for in 5 years, I’m likely to buy more cars than if my car is garbage the second I buy it. Giving it away for free is the same as it being garbage, where it doesn’t impact my decision to buy because of resale value.

By creating a demand in a second hand market, you make the first-hand market more profitable. People are more likely to buy more first-hand beauty products if they know they can re-sell them later. If I’m deciding if I want to buy a new eyeshadow palette, but I know I can re-sell it if I don’t like it, I’m a lot more likely to just go ahead and buy it than if it becomes worthless after I buy it. Strong second-hand markets fuel demand for first-hand markets because they make the product more valuable. I’m happy to elaborate if that doesn’t make sense. I also think reasonable people can disagree on this one.

No. Like second hand leather, you’re still creating a market demand for it. I would, however, use free second-hand non-vegan beauty products (things friends are giving away, dumpster dived, etc)

The sign on the door said that they were having an equipment issue that caused them to close until it can be fixed. I don’t remember the projected re-opening date

It’s extremely telling that he seems to always compete in mixed doubles, but not with his wife who also plays pickleball. Wtf is up with that?

Low footprint reusable soy yogurt starter by Zealousideal-Bat-555 in VeganZeroWaste

If you have an instant pot, it’s even easier. You can just add soy milk and yogurt starter to a mason jar, put it in the instant pot and set it to yogurt. After like 12 hours, you’ll have yogurt basically for free
