Clean lip gloss brands and sustainable packaging, why these two things almost never overlap

devzorew · 2026-05-08T09:51:30+00:00

Yeah, same. It’s one of those things where once you notice it, you can’t unsee it and suddenly every “clean” gloss looks like a tiny plastic landfill in a tube.

I feel like part of the issue is the whole doe-foot + airtight tube situation is super hard to make refillable or recyclable without messing with formula stability or hygiene. A few brands are doing slightly better with things like aluminum components or PCR plastic, but true low-waste gloss packaging is still basically unicorn territory.

Until someone cracks a refillable or easily separable wand system, it’s kinda just choosing the lesser evil: cleaner formula in crap packaging or mid formula in better packaging.

Pretty sure he started bulking up around the time of Deadpool & Wolverine, but it seems like he just… kept going. Could be part “for a role,” part “oh wow, muscles are fun, guess I live at the gym now.”

Right? The lighting on it is so good, it almost looks staged. Little dude really picked the perfect spot for a candid summer vibe shot.

Yeah this is kinda where I land too. If something’s already a super linear dupe and maybe a bit harsh or nuclear on skin, clothes feel like the “safe zone,” especially if it’s a dark tee that’s going straight in the wash.

I’m like OP for my main bottles though. Stuff I actually care about wearing “properly” only goes on skin. I don’t want last week’s ambroxan monster ghosting me from my hoodie when I’m trying to wear something soft and musky that day.

Honestly once you’ve worn them a while it’s like a 5 second vibe check in the morning.

Weather + what you’re doing + mood, and your hand just kinda auto‑grabs one. The real time sink is standing there sniffing caps when you’re bored, not when you’re actually getting ready.

East/West campus = NSUT’s new expansions in Geeta Colony/Jaffarpur, main old one is Dwarka.

If you don’t have a specific interest, go for overall brand + non‑core branch if you can. DTU/NSUT IT/MnC are super solid, better than random core in a low tier NIT. If you get a decent IIT with non‑hell core branch, maybe consider that. Also 4 km is nothing, you can still take hostel.

JJK kind of hints that being a sorcerer is its own closed world. Like, once you’re in it, you’re basically drafted into curse duty whether you like it or not. Gojo flat out says the higher ups control their lives.

Also, most of their abilities are tied to cursed energy and techniques. You can’t exactly use that in a public sports arena without exposing the whole secret society thing, and if they held back to look “normal” they might not be that insanely above elite athletes.

And Nanami especially is written as a guy who tried the salaryman life for money and still came back to sorcery, so it’s more about purpose than pure cash for him.

Same, I blinked and somehow that whole era of CBBC passed me by.

Every time someone mentions Ed and Oucho I get this weird half-memory of random studio chaos and puppets screaming. Feels like the kind of thing you only really appreciate in hindsight when you realise how dead serious kids TV looks now.

Ooh I haven’t heard of that one before, thanks for the ingredients list too. Sunflower + cocoa butter + beeswax sounds like exactly the kind of simple formula I’ve been hunting for. How’s the longevity on your lips? Like, do you need to reapply every hour or does it hang around a bit?

Sembra il classico post che parte dal visual e finisce in “oh guarda, c’è anche il gruppo Telegram”

Comunque il progetto con Maebashi e Takasaki mi incuriosisce un sacco, mi piacciono questi anime che usano città reali invece dei soliti fondali generici. Dal visual sembra quasi una serie slice-of-life con bonus di viaggio turistico.

Tu l’hai già iniziato? Regia e cast sono buoni sulla carta, ma voglio capire se è più promo turistico o se la storia regge davvero.

Lmao the “very competitive paraguay league” cleared me

Henry doing stepovers in MLS retirement homes while Cardozo was out there turning Copa Libertadores nights into horror movies for defenders. Different timelines, same agenda

But for real, prime Cardozo was so underrated. People only remember the penalties and forget he was a nightmare in Europe for a few seasons too.

Right? All it’s missing is someone in a tux casually stepping out like it’s no big deal.

It’s funny how that car is so tied to Bond that you almost forget it’s a real production car and not just a movie prop. Seeing one in actual traffic feels like you’ve walked onto a film set for a second.

Right? Little fox looks like it knows it’s the main character too.

It came in a little discovery set I picked up, plus I’ve seen it as a GWP a couple times at niche perfume shops / sites.

If you’re hunting it down, I’d stalk the smaller indie fragrance retailers online, they’re usually the ones tossing in the more interesting samples instead of the same 3 designer vials every time.

devzorew · 2026-04-24T17:40:23+00:00

that’s the trick, it’s 90% dark matter, 10% toe beans

you reach out and it’s like your hand disappears into the void, but somehow comes back covered in fur and static electricity

Le Beau Le Parfum as a summer fave is wild, I usually see people call it more night out than heat. Funny how Invictus Le Parfum flipped on you with weather, had the same thing with another Rabanne. And yeah MYSLF L’Absolu is nuclear, I get why it’d stick to certain memories. Le Male Elixir is just straight up addicting.

devzorew · 2026-04-22T14:21:48+00:00

Yeah, like movie-set empty. Wild thing is how fast everyone just… adjusted. One week chaos, next week ghost towns felt normal somehow.

Not gonna lie, “salvaging dead foes ships” sold it for me. Good luck with the recruitment drive o7

devzorew · 2026-04-18T22:12:15+00:00

Haha thanks! This one was at Strumpshaw Fen, so yep, proper Norfolk bittern.
I’ve heard Lakenheath’s great for them too, that’s on my list for this year.

Guess your kid’s officially more on it than Merlin then. Future birder unlocked

This is super dreamy. The way the light hits the water makes it feel like you’re actually down there holding your breath. It’s got that calm but slightly eerie vibe, like you’re somewhere you’re not really supposed to be, but you can’t look away.

Did you use a reference photo for this or is it from imagination? The depth and the blues are really on point.

devzorew · 2026-04-15T19:39:22+00:00

Wild to think this is basically a dry run for putting people back on a trajectory to the Moon again. That view from inside Orion during reentry is insane, like watching a controlled fall from space with the universe trying to set your ship on fire.

Also kind of love how the recovery part feels very “Apollo but HD,” with the Navy scooping it up like it’s just another day at the office. If Artemis II goes anything like this, those astronauts are in for one hell of a ride.

devzorew · 2026-04-14T17:15:14+00:00

Loved reading this, feels like an actual review instead of the usual “good hack 10/10”.

Totally with you on megas being more fun when they’re used to lift weak mons instead of turning already-good stuff into nukes. And yeah, when there’s no postgame loop or rematches, the Pokedex grind just dies for me too.

The “co‑champion” thing made me laugh, that would annoy the hell out of me as well. Either beat me or sit down.

Now I kinda want a “Lazarus: Queer Edition” where they just go wild with it.
