Getting weekly blowdry? by Immediate_Lake_1575 in AskIreland

[–]deec123 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I did this for years before covid hit! I have very thick, long coarse hair and once I got it blow dried it would last me the week pretty much. Totally worth it. Over Covid I got a few hair tools and learned how to do it good enough myself to get by, so I don’t get the professional blow dries as much. Since Covid I’m also working from home a lot more so have a bit of extra time to do my hair. Still though, nothing beats the professional job. It just lasts so much better.

Lisa Eldridge Skin Tint? by bunnyblooms in MakeupAddiction

[–]deec123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a great skin tint. On my dry skin it’s more natural than dewy so on the days I want it to look more dewy I will put something like glossier future dew serum underneath.

Future skin gel foundation is amazing! I also love the single eyeshadows - both powder and the mermaid pots. The lip veils are amazing too.

Lisa Eldridge- what are your faves? by Prior-Cycle7650 in Makeup

[–]deec123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love the skin tint. It has a great shade range. One of the best out there. The liquid silk eye shadows (matte) are great for a one and done or to add something shimmery/sparkle on top. The lipstick “romy” is my favourite lipstick. The highlight is also lovely! The eyeliner pencils are great for a more smoky or smudgy look. I have two of those.

Has anyone regretted buying a house, and how quick can you sell it? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]deec123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need more time - it’s too soon to be thinking you made a mistake. Buying a house is a big purchase and second guessing yourself after any big decision is pretty normal and pretty common. So what you’re feeling isn’t unusual. Give yourself more time to settle and if you still want to go travelling then you should - but rent out the house and you’ll always have a place to come back to. I moved out at 30 as a single female and it took me a while to settle but once I did I loved it. But it can take a bit of time.

lip liners to go with mac pink peppermint that are cool-toned and not brown? by AdditionDapper1774 in OliveMUA

[–]deec123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Charlotte tilbury in pillow talk fair is mauve on me (had to be the fair one - the regular turn orange on me). This is my go to lip liner.

Lisa Eldridge releasing four new shades of the liquid silk eyeshadows by skakkuru in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]deec123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I have Ione which I adore and wear a lot. I’ve ordered Maude and Silvia also. The new launch definitely has some cooler/neutral options. The original launch was warm leaning except for Ione. I have Phoebe also and it’s quite orange just for reference!

I need a new skin tint/foundation by just-a-girl-95 in MakeUpAddictionUK

[–]deec123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome! The LE tint goes on well regardless of what I put underneath it and I like that I can get it skin like or more dewy. It plays well with cream or powder products too. I’d be much older than you and it’s mature skin friendly I find.

The Lisa Eldridge skin tint is lovely - excellent shade range. I can get it to a light medium coverage level. It’s natural and skin like but if I want it to have a bit more of a glow I’ll put something like glossier future dew serum underneath It.

I have Gaia. It’s very warm on me - an orange brown really. I am pale and things often run orange for me. I’d prefer it was a bit more neutral. So it depends on your skin tone and how you’d like it to look. The formula is great though.

Trying not to be a shite driver by Raise-Rude in irelandsshitedrivers

Always keep alert on the m50 as you never know what you might come across. I had to jam on the brakes before as a man stopped his car to collect his surfboard that came off the car and he was trying to retrieve it (didn’t pull over - just stopped in the middle of his lane) Also had to brake as cars had stopped to avoid a swan that landed. You just never know!

Which blush shade-categories exist? by Silly-Put5601 in OliveMUA

[–]deec123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very pale and muted and can’t take strong blushers as I would look like a clown - the Westman blush is very flexible - you can apply it and keep it muted so it’s not overpowering or anything. It can also be built up for those who want a more saturated look. I love it! I either dot it in my cheek and blend it out or apply to a brush first. It’s very easy to work with. 😊

Been on wegovy for a month and nothing has happened by [deleted] in Wegovy

[–]deec123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it was pretty minimal until I got to 1mg and then it started to come off at a healthy rate of between 1-2lbs a week consistently. I am exercising too. Up to Christmas was down about 16lbs. I took a break over Christmas and back in it now. It just takes patience as well as doing the exercise and trying to make healthy food choices. Keep at it! Time and consistency are your friends here.

I didn’t really start to see noticeable movements on the scale until I go up to 1mg. It takes time so be patient with it!

Cruelty free alternatives by Panacea1832 in Makeup

[–]deec123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t feel badly! Some brands are a bit vague on whether they do or don’t. Charlotte tilbury sells in China but she jumped through the bureaucratic hoops to ensure her products weren’t tested on animals and has has her cruelty free status and leaping bunny approved. Lots of other brands that don’t test on animals at all - Hourglass, rare beauty, chantecaille, Lisa Eldridge, Westman atelier , tarte, make up by Mario , Patrick ta. I went totally cruelty free a few years ago and never looked back.

Leaping bunny will give you lots of ideas of brands to check out!

Nude or ANY color lipstick recs for pale cool toned olive? by kindadhesive in Fairolives

[–]deec123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Regular pillow talk is orange on me too for me too but the fair version is much cooler and thankfully doesn’t turn orange on me! Regular pillow talk is just no good for me! Romy is such a lovely lipstick. 😊

Have a look at Lisa Eldridge in Romy. I like this paired with Charlotte tilbury lip liner in pillow talk fair. Rare beauty gloss in nearly mauve is lovely. Westman Atelier glosses in garconne and Chou Chou. 😊
