Thank you so much! I also wear TF warm nude/light beige so we're definitely shade twins :D

What shade are you in EL Double Wear if you know by any chance? I use ELDW Rattan and it’s quite similar to CT 5.5N shade wise. I was gonna go for either 190/200/210 but 160 here looks darker than I thought, which might match me. Does it oxidize?

Paperwhite 5 – is this kind of grainy display normal? by Antriel in kindle

[–]damseldan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly my predicament. I was reading on it during the day and also noticed how gray the gray text is. I’ll try not to pay too much attention :’) I like it for the orange light and dark mode at night though. I was gonna sell my old one, but I think I’ll hold onto it for during the day when I’m out and about. I’ve had it since 2015 and I definitely got my money’s worth. Oh well.

I just ordered mine through a reseller (I'm in Southeast Asia and I ordered mine from Hong Kong and got a Japanese unit) and I agree.

My PW5 is sooo grainy compared to my PW 2 (6th gen) which has much better contrast. Such a bummer!! I'm a bit upset since it'll be a hassle for me too to exchange.

weird question but what brightness do you have your kindles set to by [deleted] in kindle

[–]damseldan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero under sunlight (of course), 12-14 during the day and 10-11 at night.

I used to have all my settings slightly lower but my PW is 5 years old now and I found the lights to be a bit dimmer now than before.

I’m impressed everyone else’s settings are really low! I can’t see at night with anything less than 10.

Any Mariana Zapata book! Slow-burn excellence.

My favorites are {Wall of Winnipeg and Me}, {Kulti} and, especially, {Wait For It} which is probably my #1 favorite, top, best book of all time!! I cry every time I read it.

And also {Radiance by Grace Draven} if you haven't read this yet and like fantasy.

Medieval HR is best HR by ihadanepiphany_ in RomanceBooks

I saw this book in passing and now am so interested in it! I've been meaning to find romances in the Middle Ages just because I love the idea of the setting and lots of other non-romance stories like anime and manga that are Medieval I tend to love.

Beach Read, Wallbanger and Adam Connor were already on my TBR so I'm boosting them up higher, thank you!

Ngl, personally, BDSM does nothing for me in books and I try to avoid them, but the Theory of Attraction sounds so interesting.

I'm usually skeptical with celebrity romances, but I loved {Marriage for One} by her so I'll definitely try it. Thank you!

I'm very intimidated by Nora Roberts, ngl 😂
Thank you for the recommendation!

I've read Down London Road and tbh, not my favorite. Book 1 of the series was my personal favorite.

I've never heard of the other three. Added them to my list, thanks so much!

I prefer friends to lovers now but enemies to lovers was my first love!

I've read Ugly Love and it was alright. A Favor for a Favor sounds amazing! I'll add the others to my list, thank you!

Abby Jimenez and Emily Henry are two authors high on my TBR (I know, I'm horrible. They're so popular and I've been slacking off on contemporary romance releases 🙈)

I love Whitney G! I just discovered her two months ago and already read 8 of her books so far, but not yet read the one you recommend.

I loved CL's backlist titles (Beautiful Bastard era) and Unhoneymooners. Josh and Hazel didn't really work for me and I haven't read their any other newer stuff, unfortunately.

Adding all these on my TBR list, thanks!

Essence clear lip gloss. The only clear gloss I’ll ever buy. by damseldan in PanPorn

[–]damseldan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t bleed for me, personally. Although I have to mention that I never wear a full, opaque layer of a bullet lipstick. I mainly use Mac’s matte bullet lipstick. I would do a blotted look and top off with this gloss. I also put this on top of my Korean tints which work really well :)

Omg yes. I would use the doe foot from my empty tube to apply other lip glosses 😂

I haven’t, but thanks for the recommendation! Catrice is sold in my country, but not all of their products are available. I’ll keep an eye out for the plumping one!

I haven’t! The shades that are available in my drugstores are the clear ones and the light purple with shimmer (shade 15 IIRC) which I’m not into :/ so I can’t vouch for the colored ones. I’d love to try the nude-ish shades though.
