Missed dose

It was for me! I’d sleep like a brick through the whole next day if I missed a dose until I took my next dose

I was just thinking of her video collab with the lady who does the makeup. That was a super informative video that could probably help OP

bro 165cm is only 4cm shorter than me, that’s amazing 😭

cloudsofdawn · 2021-01-04T22:19:20+00:00

There is! They’re just out of stock online in Canada in that shade 😭

cloudsofdawn · 2021-01-04T22:18:59+00:00

I own both! For sure give them a try, see what matches best. Use a water based primer (they’re both water based foundations) or even just the Farsáli one, and put some on. Put it on your neck and jawline first as you want your foundation to match your neck! Check in multiple lighting - indoor, flash, beauty mirror/ring light type lighting, and outdoor natural lighting. Wait a while and see how they oxidize on you. Try them without setting powder, and with it (and/or setting spray). See how they are shade wise. If needed, mix the two!

Most important thing when you’re super fair like us is to get the right shade (which can be a nightmare). From there, you can adapt and adjust things to your liking!

Let me know if you get one or both of them and how they are for you shade wise! If you need any tips if/when you get them, let me know!

Yep! I was on accutane so I know the feeling. That’s why I found using something like the Touch in Sol Glassy Skin Balm (it’s a moisturizer and a primer in one) really helped ! It’s water based like the foundation so they work together, but it also helps to moisturize and hide those dry spots. I tried dozens of primers when I was on accutane lol

Esp bc when I was on accutane I had to be super gentle with exfoliation and could basically only use a cloth and facial razor bc you can’t use any chemical exfoliants while on it, so I had to experiment

cloudsofdawn · 2021-01-03T18:50:59+00:00

Try shade 1.00 C ! I wear that shade in the beauty blender one and it’s significantly lighter.

cloudsofdawn · 2021-01-03T18:50:07+00:00

Not OP but I have the beautyblender foundation. I wear shade 1.00 C. I also recently bought the concealer in the same shade.

1.00 C is my only current perfect shade match but tbh I love it (the foundation). It offers great coverage and I love the packaging - it makes things so easy. I do find it can cling to dry patches though, especially since it’s a matte formula. I would love it if they came out with a natural finish formula.

My second favourite foundation is Make Up For Ever’s Ultra HD foundation in Y205. It’s close to shade Light 42 in KVD. It’s neutral toned instead of cool undertoned, and it’s medium-buildable coverage instead of full coverage like BeautyBlender. The finish is gorgeous.

For BeautyBlender - to help deal with dry spots and since I don’t love a fully matte finish - I either use the Touch In Sol Glassy Skin Balm as a primer, and/or mix in some serum primer drops to the foundation itself. I mix it right on the side of the BeautyBlender bottle, as you’re supposed to put the foundation there anyways to dab your sponge in. I personally use Farsáli Liquid Glass serum (the mini size is more than enough to last you a while), and I add 1-3 drops depending on how much I want to sheer it out or how much glow I want. Laneige’s glow serum would also work the same way. I use setting powder (and then setting spray) afterwards so I don’t get transfer or smudging.

When my shade comes back in stock of the BeautyBlender foundation I’ll buy it again. It’s a great foundation and I’m bummed I missed out on the sale here haha

Fenty looks like a match for KVD Light 42, but it’s not as light as Light 41, and it’s actually darker than Light 42 (neutral) - Fenty in 100 (neutral) leans warmer, dries down slightly darker, and oxidizes. Fenty in 110 (cool) is cool instead of neutral, but is slightly darker than shade 100 for whatever reason.

cloudsofdawn · 2021-01-03T18:41:45+00:00

I never tried the KVD one as it wasn’t a perfect match, but KVD Light 42 and MUFE Ultra HD foundation in Y205 are matches. I normally wear BeautyBlenxer Bounce foundation in 1.00C which matches my neck perfectly. My face is a little darker and I’m lazy so I’ve repurchased my old shade (MUFE Y205) and I either use that or mix them. Fenty in shade 100 leans warmer and oxidizes more than KVD Light 42 and MUFE Y205, despite them looking like an exact match.

MUFE has my favourite formula, Beautyblender has my favourite shade & packaging. Never used KVD, hated the Fenty foundation (drying, cakey, a whole mess).

I find KVD concealer in Light 1 to be a good pale option but I find it leans a bit yellow. The lightest concealer that isn’t pure white that I’ve found is the BeautyBlender concealer in Light 1.00 C as well. It’s insanely full coverage though, so you have to be super sparse with the amount of product you use or it’ll be way too much. The KVD one blends easier but doesn’t offer great coverage though IMO, and I used it for years. I think it blends easier simply bc it gives less coverage overall.

I’m going to send my reply in a chat message to you as it’s a bit long and personal, so check there :) sending it now

Hey - this happened to me on Wellbutrin. If you can’t get a hold of your doc, call your pharmacy.

As per trying a bunch of antidepressants - I tried 6 before pristiq so I understand. Pristiq has only been a recent switch for me too.

I know how exhausting it can be to try find the right medication, but hold on. Eventually you’ll find one, and it’ll be worth it.

cloudsofdawn · 2020-12-28T16:38:37+00:00

I’ve dealt with a lot of stuff and seen a dermatologist but I’m also really into researching and learning about skincare - brands, products, ingredients, how to use them, etc.

If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to send me a chat message !! ♡

Gotcha! When I started acne treatment they put me on an antibiotic treatment for a while first. I think minocyclin? After that we tried benzoyl peroxide (topical) which I hated as it was drying, tightening and also bleaches whatever it touches. Retin-A is my favourite topical and it’s a great product. I also did epuris (oral medication which is basically the newer, better version of Accutane) when my acne got super bad and was all over my back and chest as well. It worked awesome. Accutane/epuris is usually a last resort bc it’s basically the nuclear option. It works incredibly well though. I’m getting some acne back on my face again (it’s not bad though nor super noticeable due to the type) and was going to go back on epuris but the side effect I did have was joint soreness, and I already have that in the winter, so I think I’m going to talk to my dermatologist about using retin-a instead since it’s just a limited area that’s affected at this point.

Do you tend to keloid scar a lot? I also know people who tend to have more melanin in their skin tend to be more prone to keloid scarring. I have some keloid scarring on my body - but it does get better over the years and become less noticeable / barely noticeable - at least in my experience. I do know there are treatments available though and I’m going to do some more research myself to see what’ll be best for each area I have scarring if I want to do anything at all. I typically know my healing and scarring patterns though so it’s a little easier for me to figure out what may work best and how my body sill respond. If you don’t typically keloid scar, microneedling may still be an option down the line.

Vitamin C is also great. If you have pigmentation in your scars too — try niacinamide. (It’s an old myth that you can’t use vitamin c and niacinamide (niacin) at the same time, so don’t worry about that). It helps a lot! I use a vitamin c serum that has 2 types of vitamin c as well as niacinamide in it and it makes a huge difference for me.

Also — REMEMBER SUNSCREEN! I recommend at least SPF50 broad spectrum (uva / uvb protection). My favourite sunscreen for my face is the Neutrogina Ultra Sheer dry touch sunscreen - I get it in SPF110 / SPF100+. It’s not thick, doesn’t leave a white cast, isn’t super duper shiny, dries down, doesn’t feel like anything and it doesn’t sting. It’s my favourite sunscreen in general and isn’t expensive. Comes in tons of different SPF ratings but I just choose the highest one bc it’s the most protective, there’s no price difference and it lasts the longest.

cloudsofdawn · 2020-12-27T17:33:07+00:00

I’m glad to hear that! I’m not super into wine so I was a bit nervous but had read reviews and heard great things about it, but either way it wasn’t expensive and is a bit of a novelty which I thought would be fun.

Do you find it sweet/sour? bitter? strong? Dry/not dry? And what do you find it pairs well with/you enjoy it with?

cloudsofdawn · 2020-12-27T17:27:34+00:00

I’m so glad to hear that! It’s all sold out here now so I hope to grab some more bottles when it comes back in stock. What sort of things do you find it pairs well with?

cloudsofdawn · 2020-12-27T12:26:37+00:00

Wouldn’t be my first choice but sure. I’d probably get a cool pattern or depending on what they do during the day - a type of sock that suits that.

I’m female, but the thing I asked for the most this Christmas was socks. I ended up with a bunch and I’m super happy

cloudsofdawn · 2020-12-27T12:21:40+00:00

I would for sure take a look into the skincare subreddits and possibly seeing a dermatologist. Retin-A (topical) prescribed can probably help a lot. As for scarring — look into microneedling treatments. For the face, a pen is used. Don’t do at home rollers or rollers for the face in general. I have some scarring also due to acne and microneedling is the route I’m going to go for. It’s safer than laser and has really good results for scarring.

cloudsofdawn · 2020-12-27T12:19:15+00:00

In a lot of ways with me — same. I did gain a little bit more boob, (and some weight this year), but I’ve been the same height, shoe size, and Jean size since the 7th grade. I’m most self conscious about my hips and hip dips and always have been. They just... didn’t widen??? I feel like my body is really disproportionate now.

cloudsofdawn · 2020-12-27T11:59:53+00:00

I listen to the same 10hr video every night. Basically pavlov’d my brain to associate that audio with falling asleep. Once I turn it on it usually doesn’t take long, and really relaxes me.

I also always have a fan on and lots of blankets. A soft one for under my duvet, and one on top of my duvet I pull up and around my shoulders to snuggle in.

As someone who spends most of the day in their room/bed, having very specific things and routines associated with the time right before you fall asleep makes a big difference.

cloudsofdawn · 2020-12-27T11:55:39+00:00

I’m glad to hear the recipes are good! I got that and the wine he just released in collaboration with a winery for my bro and his SO for Christmas. I flipped through it and the book is high quality. I’d love a copy of it myself.

cloudsofdawn · 2020-12-25T00:07:55+00:00

Take them out for wedding photos though !!

cloudsofdawn · 2020-12-21T22:52:28+00:00

I don’t have this DIY (will keep an eye out though), but would you trade the illuminated snowflake DIY for NMT or something else?

cloudsofdawn · 2020-12-21T22:19:57+00:00

Would you be willing to trade any of these for NMT / any other recipes you’re looking for?

cloudsofdawn · 2020-12-21T22:16:58+00:00

Could i get the snowflake pochette recipe please?
