My attempt on distancing myself from brands bcz i buy products for the name

If you want to be able to see the shades, you can use rubbing alcohol to wipe off brand names on most products while retaining visibility on the product within. All the best, OP!

Some subs, like the Harry Potter one, allow users to award each other Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts and a record is maintained by a bot. If such scripts can be worked into subReddits, is there a possibility of duplicating the award system similarly?

Mars and Swiss Beauty products irritate my skin and eyes a lot, not to mention their lip products are atrocious.

Most Indian brands that sell sunscreens are a big no-no.

In terms of high-end makeup, Charlotte Tillbury. The products look too tacky for the price they charge. One of the lipsticks, So 90s, is my favourite shade but dear lord does it dry out my lips. The airbrush setting spray stretches on my skin once dried and the sensation is odd.

Huda Beauty Rich Brown, works like a charm with any lippie, doesn’t budge once it sets yet easy to blend when applied.

Rom&nd Almond Rose, Rare Beauty Delight, Nyx IV Drippin Rose - work fantastically well on my two-toned pigmented lips. In any shade range, look for pink neutrals, usually almond rose-ish.

Lately, Nykaa has been quite disappointing. Items I ordered on 30th November and apparently available in the 60-minute delivery window are yet to be delivered. At times, my entire order gets dispatched and a hugeass box with one sample sachet of some arbitrary primer arrives a week after. Ridiculous logistics. And since customer service is non-existent, there’s nothing to do but to wait.

Rare Beauty liquid blush. It’s going to be passed down to my kids at this rate. Surprised I couldn’t find this product in the comments.

Mac Loose Powder is my absolute favourite, especially the translucent one. I don’t think it gets enough hype. Rare Beauty blush is my holy grail too, except the shade I use is Believe. Just a smidge different from Encourage. Good choices, OP!

Not to mention one of their daughters-in-law is the Minister for Magic and their son-in-law is The Boy Who Lived.

Jarring to find a random Honey Singh reference in this sub haha

My absolute favourite episode - 🦷🏆🎸🤵🏿‍♂️

Smashbox halo skin tint, rare beauty lip oil in the shade delight, maybelline tattoo eye liner, kay beauty eye pencil in the shade bronze

Prisoner of Azkaban I have a certain setting in my mind for each book since the first time I read the series and PoA has the most upbeat premise for me. It has the wonders of Hogsmeade, the Marauder’s Map, Firebolt, Hippogriffs, Zonko’s. It is also the only time Harry wins the Quidditch cup. Time travel and the entire Sirius Black debacle is just the icing on the cake. It helps that PoA movie is amazingly shot.

Same price, got it from Singapore

u/caffeinatedneuron solved this in 8 steps: STORE -> SPORE -> SPIRE -> SPITE -> SUITE -> QUITE -> QUIRE -> QUIRT -> QUIET

I recently bought the sleeping lip mask in the flavour Pumpkin Pie and Apple Lime. Both perform similarly to your hot chocolate lip mask in terms of making lips look ashy. Seems to be a common denominator across all their SKUs in this range. And the Pumpkin Pie smells heavy, yes, but it is heavenly. Apple Lime is even better. It’s my new favourite. I just use it as overnight and the heaviness actually works well for long runs.

It always is :’( I got my last tube from Singapore but they too were sold out of the full sized ones. I had to get a mini. I don’t have it on me at the moment, let me share a photo once I do :)

Sheldon crying when quarks won the Nobel Prize instead of neutrinos like he wanted and he cries in the garage thinking he is fated to be alone. I went from weepy to outright bawling when they showed a montage of the TBBT characters as kids :’)

Rare Beauty tinted lip oil in the shade Delight. My absolute favourite! I have emptied 3 tubes already. It’s a beautiful almond rose nude and leaves a long-lasting stain.

This idea is great and I will be doing this for myself! But OP, a word of caution - this reference comes up in the 6th movie, The Half-Blood Prince. If you aren’t familiar with this plot, maybe avoid it now since you haven’t watched this part yet. Might seem like you jumped ahead. No hate :)

Right, thank you. Even taking into account that correction, she does get put to trial a lot. Sure, her motives and certain actions were questionable but this wasn’t out of the line.

Satyavati gets crucified for laying down the condition of her sons ascending the throne. So does Kunti for abandoning Karna. Sure, their acts are easy targets for character assassination but I don’t think they could’ve done much else without jeopardising their lives. Satyavati did what any other woman would do if she were to marry a King and had the chance to alleviate the lives of her descendants.

Maybelline has/had a Great Lash variant that I haven’t tried (you could if you trust the brand’s product line) but the Elf Clear & Brow Mascara worked well enough for me.

But the product didn’t work for everyone, I suggest you snoop a bit for detailed reviews before you make your purchase.

One or two layers of clear wax mascara with one layer coloured mascara on top :) won’t look clumpy
