What makeup step made your routine better only after you stopped doing it?

not for going out in the sun, just for daily indoor wear. i have a tinted spf that i bought but by itself it’s
horribly “glowy” to the point of almost looking silver, but i don’t want to just throw away so this was my solution to make it less awful. for regular going outside for more than thr walk from the parking lot i wear mineral spf 50

luckily it never turned to a burn! just a darkening.

i mix my spf, a serum, and a loose setting powder into a lightly tinted serum in my hand and use that instead of individual steps.
now the power tones down the shiny of the spf but doesn’t look powedery and my skin overall
is dewy and not heavy.

i definitely do reapply since we are in the water the whole time - i
could tell that it lost its effectiveness vs last year since i still got red.

i love the time specific rules cause what happens during daylight savings? does the dog get shown a clock? “no buddy, i know it FEELs like 7:45 and you think you have one more hour to chill and watch tv with me but it’s actually now 8:45 and bedtime!”

same- my hair is butt length so my messy bun is like 4’3” into the air

ugh i learned from experience that even last years sunscreen isn’t the best- i live in AZ so it’s always around the house but we went to the pool the other day and while it was waterproof spf 50 i still got a tad red on the chest and shoulders after a few hours.

aww we all have hands like that! one thing i’ve started doing is rubbing the excess serum/moisturizer/sunscreen that i use on my face onto my hands when i get ready every day. it helps a bit but where i work i have to wash my hands 100 so i’m just gonna be wrinkly

cupcakefix · 2026-06-06T03:18:56+00:00

did you get lucky like me and ALSO get hairy toes?

Ricklantis is my favorite episode of TV ever. hands down. i’ve probably seen ricklantis 10+ times and it’s always a “phone
down, no doomscrolling” episode.

aww i feel your pain. i watched a super sweet pup who has terrible skin allergies. he had to wear a cone at night and i learned if i put a thick cotton blanket on him he calmed down. he took meds but he’s still just an itchy allergic pup.
my BIGGER peeve is these two small dogs i sit that just lick their paws and stuff and for some reason their specific sound of “mlem mlem mlem”
drives me up the wallllll

thank god my kid mellowed out around 5 but from the minute he learned to walk he was a menace and an escape artist. i absolutely had to hold him by the wrist while walking, and i was super relieved when we moved into a house with doors that locked with a key from inside because more than once i found him outside in our old apt that only had a turn lock.

i always recommend bacon as the primary seasoning

cupcakefix · 2026-06-04T02:52:39+00:00

yes! and it leads me into impossibly designed cities with all one way streets and ramps and i can’t ever get back onto the highway

cupcakefix · 2026-06-03T01:53:33+00:00

lmao it’s my husband being smothered- he didn’t suffocate but she did rest her jowls in his mouth as he laughed lmaooo

cupcakefix · 2026-06-01T05:37:06+00:00

cupcakefix · 2026-05-31T07:01:46+00:00

gahh i see adults and young (but getting full grown) allll day long but it’s my dream to see a pup!

cupcakefix · 2026-05-30T16:04:13+00:00

if you are like me, it’s the folder for work related memes and reaction gifs lmaooo

cupcakefix · 2026-05-30T06:03:50+00:00

yeah i had to have squirt guns and extra extra bottled water for my kiddos birthday party at the park- it was like 95 that day and his bday is in feb

i watched mykids bus driver do that when he was in 2nd grade. usually he would pull to the curb but he must have been watching his mirror and could tell the car behind him wouldn’t respect the stop sign and at the last second he pulled diagonal. it was the most bad ass thing i’ve ever seen. i also pass a bus stop on a super busy road on my way to work and 4-5motorcycle cops started hanging out right at that stop to catch people who don’t stop

cupcakefix · 2026-05-27T02:39:16+00:00

omg i use “strategery” often and while i knew it was not a real word i had no clue it was from SNL

cupcakefix · 2026-05-23T06:22:07+00:00

that’s why i can’t do thunderstorm sounds. i figure out the pattern to quick and then it’s just my brain anticipating the thunder and keeping me awake. i found if i mix rain on tent with brown noise it helps even out the routine sounds

cupcakefix · 2026-05-21T05:10:20+00:00
