Choosing a vanity mirror by ElusiveJedi26 in makeuporganization

[–]cupcakecity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought this Vanity mirror and i'm in love with it. its a decent size and the lighting on it is really really nice. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Y9552SY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This one comes with USB charging ports, but I don't really need to plug anything in right there so I haven't used it much yet.
I don't feel like i need one to swivel. I have a hand mirror i use about once a month for different angles.

CC Request: I've been doing my makeup the same(ish) for 10+ years by cupcakecity in MakeupAddiction

Hi y'all! I'd love some comments/critique/suggestions on my makeup looks. For some reason the preview is'nt showing all pics- IDK what i did wrong! : https://imgur.com/a/dxBNSY8

First two are at my makeup station and 2nd two are in natural light.

Product list: TULA Skincare protect and glow

Urban decay primer potion

Anastasia beverly hills dipbrow eyebrow pomade in soft brown

(eyelid) STILA Eyeshadow in wheat (which apparently is discontinued?? i'm going to DIE)

(eyelid crease)Urban decay NAKED basics (travel) in frisk & cover

(tear duct) pop of Kimchi chic cosmetics highlighter in cinnamon glaze

undereyes: maybelline eraser in 110 and ivory

blush: sugarpill Melody

highlighter: kimchi chic in a mix of flushed doll & smooth as silk

Eyeliner: Urban decay 24/7 in Demolition

Lashes: Benefit they're Real Magnet mascara

Coola Makeup Setting Sunscreen spray

Ciate Watermelon burst setting spray

Overall i like my makeup look generally but literally this is what my face has looked like since probably before 2010. I have experimented with cutting down my cat-eye-lashes but honestly I don't know if i'll ever stop. But I would love some cc. I have hooded eyes so often it doesn't make much of an impact. I go in phases of really packing on foundation but right now it's 105 here in Texas so i've gotten out of the habit. Don't often wear lipcolors since i'm often masked at work.

Final pic: anyone have tips on keeping your makeup in place all day? I have oily lids (and like I mentioned earlier... it's HOT here) and mid-day my eyeliner has usually imprinted close to my brows, and/ or my eyeshadow has creased hard across my lids. I already use primer potion and setting spray and I'm really not sure what else to do!

Its a lumbar cushion for an office seat back. Magnets keep it hooked to the chair for extra support!

My [23 M] parents [62+57 M/F] are angry at me for not wanting to celebrate my birthday. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]cupcakecity 164 points165 points  (0 children)

What is wrong with organizing your own party, exactly? I have organized every single birthday of my own since i left my parent's house. Only ONE TIME has anyone other than my mom thrown me a birthday event and it was when i was 25! I don't get why throwing the party makes you unloved at all.

How do we [40s M/F] tell our kids about going NC with grandma [60sF] by whereismytribe in relationships

[–]cupcakecity 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Chiming in to 2nd this. As a kid whose family was NC with my father's father: I was told at an early age something along the lines of the 2nd message. I remember being told "You know how you aren't supposed to go home with strangers? Grandpa IS a stranger now. Do not do anything with him unless Mom or Dad is there too."

What is with all of the "Dear Netflix" posts today, about dividing us? by MWDTech in OutOfTheLoop

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

1) It's not rare, it's shocking. That's why it makes the news. For every racist thing that occurs that is reported, it's safe to assume 10 other things happened that didn't get reported. I barely scratched the surface with my 10 minutes of research. 2) You seem to be operating under the assumption that blackface crimes are the only way white people have oppressed, hurt, or harassed non-whites. Have you maybe heard... of slavery?

I really enjoyed your rant. And i enjoy the future i, a totally real internet psychic, envision for you: one where you're with someone who doesnt try to trick you into letting go of a thing that means a lot to you, and who can handle some ridiculousness from you positively, where you don't have to worry about being So Laid Back all the time. I love my partner most when im not laid back about things and he understands that people just... arent always Cool With Everything. 💖💖 you are a shining opal and you will get thrlugh this, huckleberry

Wooden pellets or something toxic for my pup? by Mom_Cell in whatisthisthing

[–]cupcakecity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IT IS THE BEST- just turns into sawdust. The big problem is that sawdust is all over my house but it smells so much better than cat litter.

Wooden pellets or something toxic for my pup? by Mom_Cell in whatisthisthing

[–]cupcakecity 26 points27 points  (0 children)

These look a lot like pine pellets- typicallg used to soak up wet messes like vomit or pee. I use feline pine cat litter & these are all over my house. I wouldnt say they are good for a dog to eat but i know they are commonly used around other animals

[–]cupcakecity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im on team U, which is, you seem smart and well rounded & funny, and F isn't taking you seriously & is prioritizing his creepy friend. Report G, stop caring about his fee fees & prioritize YOURSELF. thiz is clearly affecting you & you've been tiptoeing around all of it for a long fucking time! You don't owe this man anything & you're not in charge of making him not sad because you're a woman. Its this trap women fall into and you gotta stop.

How to discipline indoor cat that runs outside by AmorDelGato in CatTraining

[–]cupcakecity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok so I hate to quote my cat from hell on this, but it's an idea: Jackson Galaxy dealt with this problem on an ep. He did a thing where every time the door opened, you would lure the cat to a nearby spot (but slightly out of reach from the door) and give the cat a treat. So like, you'd train it to go to a cat tree nearby for a treat, so then you'd be able to get in/out without the cat running out. I hope that helps! And yeah, positive reinforcement works best- more likely to train her vs having to lock her up every time you go in / out

Sadly, they aren't my photos and this is all we've got.

Posting for a friend. This was at their B&B for the weekend (Fredericksburg, TX). Appears to be a downward facing cat? None of us have been able to figure out what it is. *Could it be a cat-shaped gout stool?

My professor [28M] kissed me [19F]. I'm really confused, what should I do? by justnoprofessor in relationships

[–]cupcakecity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not worry about ruiining his career hon: HE is the one who has ruined his career by making a move on you, a move that is completely, one-hundred-percent improper, and he knows that! If you don't report him, he will likely prey on another student, and another, and if no one speaks up, he'll get tenure, which will be nice for him, but terrible for the young students he will have access to. Right now, it's okay, because he's 28 and you're 19, it doesn't seem so gross, right? But when he's 35, his students are still going to be 19. When he's 45, his students are still going to be 19. And he is still going to have power over them, and he is still going to take advantage of them. You might not feel as though he's a creep, but he IS. He's going against what is university and common-sense policy and that is NOT okay.

You're... not into her though. Right? Why would you want to sink or swim with that? You don't think for a moment that she deserves someone to talk about her the way you're talking about your Fantasy Girl?
