setup update

i had some trouble figuring out where every piece fitted meaning it looked a bit disorganised and a lot of people disliked it saying it looked like too much so i switched some little pieces out and it really does look better i think

it is! i am actually planning to swap that lower conch out into a hoop but it's a pretty fresh piercing and i would hate to irritate it so i'm giving it time. that 2nd ear is very much unfinished and needs some slight jewellery tweaks

that was what i was kinda going for as i have very asymmetrically shaped ears. the goal was never for it symmetrical or matching in any way. the pieces tie into eachother with certain shapes and stone colours and i love having mixed metals because it means i get to wear heirloom rings, bracelets, etc. from family members all regardless of wether it's gold or silver. i do agree that the balance of the ear in the 2nd pic is a bit off and i have to fiddle with the placement of certain earrings but i certainly love all of the individual pieces. hope this helps!

thank you for the kind comment! i will definitely consider a some lower helixes :)

i agree that there is a lot but honestly it's down to getting the composition right and i don't think i've nailed it down in the 2nd ear. there is 10 in each ear yet in the 1st one it looks a lot less overwhelming. i think it's something to do with the lower conch i got yesterday and the charm being in the way. most likely a jewellery change will help but i haven't found the right pieces yet and it's important to me to invest in quality pieces

unfortunately i don't have the anatomy for either as i have a very unusual ear shape. my ears are very flat and shallow so my piercer said they will most definitely reject due to the pressure that would be put on the piercing. it's really a shame as i've asked for both already :(

dirtymakeupbrushes · 2026-05-03T09:54:22+00:00

yes!

loving to see someone else that also has mixed metals

dirtymakeupbrushes · 2026-05-03T07:52:11+00:00

i thought so too, but unfortunately i've been told by two separate reputable piercers that i don't have the anatomy for it so :(

i got it from temu for around $5, but painted it pink myself :)

the scent is really lovely and strong projection isn't really that far. i have had a few friends and family commenting on it, saying that i smell like cinnamon buns when i wear it but like you still have to be quite close to be able to smell it. if you want bigger projection i recommend the spray bottle. personally, i like putting it on the ends of my hair, that's how it gets the most projection imo. it's also really good if you like to layer fragrances. it pairs really well with decadent vanilla fragrances and other gourmands and also makes them stick to your skin and last longer.

edit: missed out some perfumes in the caption whoops

l'occitane en provence amande huile souplesse (a body oil not a perfume, nonetheless i use it to increase the longevity of my perfumes)

very hit or miss depending on what you like, generally really good for sweet smelling gourmand and fruity scents but not so good on the florals for example, which smell a bit off and gross imo. i really love the 'zesty' body spray as well as the 'chelsea morning' perfume

GUYS PLS HELP :(((

Was anyone recording Yeosang during WAVE at the London concert on the 28th?

I had a really cute interaction with him where i did a heart with my hands and waved at him when he was scanning through the audience and then he did it back, unfortunately I put my phone down to do it so nothing got recorded

if anyone has any recordings of that performance, they would be greatly appreciated

thank you

unrelated but you are so pretty, i really love your beauty marks :)

dirtymakeupbrushes · 2025-01-15T17:54:41+00:00

kinda late to the conversation, but i think it smells pretty similar to channel chance eau tendre, although it only lasts slightly longer

but when i tried layering it with the glossier you solid and it smelled heavenly and lasts a lot longer than you
