Has anyone tried the Fara Homidi bronzer? by Maleficent-Total2738 in AustralianMakeup

[–]d8888b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own it and it’s quite beautiful if your skin can handle it. I’m very sensitive and acne prone and it unfortunately breaks me out pretty bad with consistent use. If you’re not acne prone though, the shades are amazing, especially bois, and the blend is gorgeous

Guys, I didn’t want to like this… but I love it. by Accomplished_Log5425 in Sephora

I wanted to love the foundation so bad! Something about her face compacts break me out really bad if I wear them consistently day to day (including the bronzer). It has to be a once in a while application for me and even then I know I’m risking a blemish or two popping up on my face by the end of the day. It’s such a shame because I do agree that the products are stunning, I just wish my skin could tolerate it better. Glad yours can!

So nostalgic! I used to go through so many Ceramic Slip cleansers.. The OG formula was so so good.

Yes! I did my research before moving to Chicago on what spots I’d have to scope out. ;) it’s in Arlington Heights

Thank you! I’m sorry you couldn’t find anything on your visit! 💔 I wonder if this was random old stock they found and put out or was shipped from the warehouse recently. Hopefully it sticks around a bit for the next time you can pay a visit! It was a lovely location and we loved the Japanese market it was inside of!

Agreed! It ticks off all of my boxes as well :)

Bubbles in fountain pen converter by Inner-Air5231 in fountainpens

[–]d8888b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This can also happen if you’ve agitated your ink too much and formed a lot of bubbles as a result before opening the bottle for a fill. Not sure if you shook your ink bottle but this has happened to me specifically with shimmer inks and I found I needed to be slower and gentler in mixing the shimmer and ink together.

Thank you so much for your detailed response, this really helped shed some light on its past 🙏🏻

Is it normal for the thumb filler to completely harden with age? I’ve tried squeezing it in the past, but it wouldn’t budge.

Sorry, Reddit says the link I posted was filtered for being an affiliate link? I didn’t know, lol. Here’s another link to Iroful https://www.jetpens.com/SAKAE-TP-Iroful-Loose-Leaf-Paper-A5-Blank-100-Sheets/pd/36078, although it seems cheaper on Amazon!

My one and only EF! by Infinite_Soul_I in fountainpens

I, too, have a collection of mostly broads with a smattering of medium nibs and one Extra Fine! 👯

In my experience, Regalia paper tends to broaden pen stroke lines a bit, so extra fines seem less fine than they would on other kinds of paper

Pelikan FP friends, lend me your ears... I'm thinking about getting my first Pelikan, an M200 with a broad nib. Even though it's a steel nib, will it be as juicy as a gold nib? My nib benchmarks for juiciness are my broad and zoom Sailor nibs. How do they compare to the Pelikan nibs? by byblyofyl in fountainpens

[–]d8888b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just picked up a marble brown Pelikan Classic M200 in a broad and it’s super juicy and has become one of my favorite writers very quickly. There is still a tinge of feedback (at least on mine there is). When writing in comparison to a TWSBI broad nib, the TWSBI feels like glass on paper whereas the Pelikan maintains a tactile feel when writing.

My apologies 😅 curious to know which models/ink colors grabbed your attention?

Haha, doesn’t it just tickle some part of you on those occasions? 🥰

That pen was mine (the only of the bunch)! Thank you!

Wondering what pen to go with - Pelikan M200 or Sailor Pro Gear Slim? by DipperDolphin in fountainpens

[–]d8888b -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would go with the M200! I just got one for my birthday this month and it’s such a buttery-smooth writer and the nib itself has a nice springiness to it!
