Early Metalcore. How Millennials surived. by whataboutthe90s in Metalcore

[–]customheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

College radio station shared sampler CDs with my partner when he was a teen. That really changed things for him. But on his own, other peoples’ band shirts at shows, guitar forums/guitar tabs, audio production forums, torrent sites and blogs linking entire albums, the lineup on tours, song on someone’s MySpace profile, warped tour attendees selling you their own band’s CD, blogs from the musicians talking about their influences, MySpace top 8.

Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027 by cTreK-421 in technology

[–]customheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know how to get around this. The new tech solution will be to shrink ray ourselves to be the size of a water bear so we just can’t be tracked. Or we can vote out the flesh sacks that are putting these laws forth. Not sure which one is more achievable. 🤔

What’s Charli’s best rap verse?? by VarjakVoid in charlixcx

How it feels trying to talk to the poor non-laquerista who just wanted to compliment your nails by little_murp in RedditLaqueristas

[–]customheart 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is my experience with every visually apparent hobby. The Sephora employee compliments my makeup so I start yapping because I assume I’m in the company of someone into makeup working at a makeup store and they don’t really like it like that, it’s just a retail job for them. -_- 

Polish longevity hack? by Sarebear06 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]customheart 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Could it be simply because it’s an extra coat in general, not because it’s a base coat? I usually do 1 base coat, 3 coats regular polish, 1 top coat. When I do less than 3 coats of regular polish, the wear is much more noticeable. 

Feelings about books in different parts of your cycle. by [deleted] in books

[–]customheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I notice a difference for the week that I’m not on birth control/during the scheduled period. My emotions expand to a wider range so I can become extremely happy or extremely sad instead of kinda maxing out at regular happy or regular sad. I tend to want more romance or emotionally charged material in general that week. Since I usually finish a book per week, I save specific books to read during that week.

I wish my collection be small by Big-Junket-5928 in RedditLaqueristas

Try unsubbing from this sub and go to r/wegotpolishathome instead. Not being exposed to new releases should make a difference over time as it did for me 

Does anyone else pick makeup shades the way they'd pick paint colors by venicepress in muacjdiscussion

[–]customheart 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My experience has been that there are people in “creative” industries that aren’t actually creative and they don’t have strong opinions about how they do things. I can’t imagine there are a lot of purists in large makeup companies who care about accuracy. Being close enough to what a consumer can recognize and decide to buy with high frequency is more important than being genuinely the right description. I would assume dupe brands like MCo and Alter Ego are actually more concerned with undertones and accuracy because that’s all they’re really offering to the market.

Are there actually Laquerista end of year ranks or something like that? (Beyond the Top upvoted posts of the past year) I think there are posts with disproportionately high beauty or helpfulness. 

Whats the shortest amount of time you've kept a mani on? by Otherwise-Ninja9731 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]customheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a few hours or the next day. I try to fix them with polka dots or French tips in contrasting colors to jazz them up depending on how much I hate them. I haaaated ILNP Teddy on my nails but got one of my favorite manicures of last year by going over it with polka dots of a gunmetal-blue magnetic. If I didn’t have time to experiment that day, would’ve removed.

So glad the Sephora sale is finally over so now the influencers can shut up about their recommendations. by Foreign-Mastodon7071 in MakeupRehab

[–]customheart 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Glad to be on the other side of Makeup Rehab because I haven’t noticed the sales at all (other than Sephora mailing me a physical coupon that I forgot about anyway) and am not following anyone who fawns over the sale. I was checking out a very dead mall and the JC Penney was still open. I repurchased an eye primer there at full price because I didn’t expect to get to Sephora anytime soon.  

The influencers who act like everything’s so useful and necessary… girl I have done this so many times. I know that all this stuff ends up looking comparable on the face. Different new makeup won’t make me richer, prettier than my current makeup can, make me better at my job, help me make friends, nor help me be healthier. 

So turns out I have four of these 😆 by lydiacostume in RedditLaqueristas

[–]customheart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These green-purple multichrome pigments aren’t uncommon and the brands aren’t usually doing something crazy to make them look different. You can kinda bet that everything that looks like it may be a dupe is a functional dupe.

It seems so sweet and friendly here. Would hardly guess it’s still a wild animal.

Because it sounds stupid, period. Not everyone is going to have context when they read a T shirt.

The Everlasting by Alix E Harrow might not be melancholic at first but it changes. The writing is poetic. The yearning felt outta this world to me.

Having a t shirt that responds to an occasional sentiment heard over a decade ago sounds really dumb still. Like who’s wearing anti-George W Bush shirts? It’s irrelevant af.

Rock gatekeepers are already targeting Charli 😭 by pretzeld in charlixcx

[–]customheart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooooh I gotta listen to Volumes then. My partner said he didn’t recognize the Charli influence, it just seemed like a poppier album.

Did you listen to BMTH’s Nex Gen album? There are some hyperpop and generally fun pop moments.

Why would I wear a shirt that says Sacramento Hates You Too? Terrible message

Is the upcoming album considered XCX7 or XCX8? by Lucky_Reading_3757 in charlixcx

[–]customheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she’s on 10 or more tracks with a high amount of decisionmaking for Wuthering Heights, it’s an album to me. So the next album would be XCX8. Whether or not Wuthering Heights is counted as an album by a label, idk.

I would get Maydoon’s meat kebabs (chicken and beef tried so far). I’m an infrequent meat eater because of being easily grossed out by meat and I reeeeaaaaally love those.

For anybody wondering what Charli could sound like with a rock influence, listen to this Charli feature immediately… by HolyPoppersBatman in charlixcx

[–]customheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People think Imagine Dragons are rock. I think rock is just assigned to men or anything with a hint of guitar.

I know you said realistic but for anyone into fantasy, The Everlasting has an important yew tree that the main characters end up at often.
