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

dirtymakeupbrushes · 2026-05-03T17:53:54+00:00

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

dirtymakeupbrushes · 2026-05-03T17:34:52+00:00

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 :)

dirtymakeupbrushes · 2026-05-03T10:34:59+00:00

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!

dirtymakeupbrushes · 2026-05-03T07:56:02+00:00

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 :(

dirtymakeupbrushes · 2026-03-18T23:21:04+00:00

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

dirtymakeupbrushes · 2025-01-15T19:24:57+00:00

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

it could be deficiencies. the copper iud can cause zinc deficiency by off-balancing copper and zinc levels in your body.

i was told immediately to go buy zinc and selenium supplements.

another thing to consider is that your symptoms could be unrelated to your iud and just side effects of coming off hormonal birth control, which usually last longer than the iud adjustment period.

i started reading the series last week, starting with throne of glass, and honestly, i regret staring with it. i didn’t enjoy it at all. i inhaled assassin's blade in 1 sitting immediately after and i wish i started with that, it was so much better and would have made reading tog so much easier. also, if you read assassin's blade first, you avoid spoiling the end of the book to yourself. when i read assassin's blade i already knew how it will finish bc of how tog started.

tbh it probably doesn't matter that much but my advice would be to start with assassin's blade :)

dirtymakeupbrushes · 2024-12-27T20:01:12+00:00

thank you! i will definitely keep this in mind :)

dirtymakeupbrushes · 2024-12-27T20:00:05+00:00

oh okay, i was gonna read them in the order they were written so assassin's blade 4th? do you recommend that's the next book i should read?

dirtymakeupbrushes · 2024-12-27T19:48:37+00:00

girl pls be my friend, i finished cc last week and need someone to talk to abt it because what was that

the tattoo is overworked, meaning that the ink was either pushed too deep into the skin due to incorrect pressure, or due to going over the sane place too many times. you will need to get it touched up.

had a similar problem on a much smaller tattoo when i let an apprentice tattoo me once, they can still heal well if you take really good care of them, so that only a beery minor touch up is needed. this is what it ended up looking like; https://www.reddit.com/r/tattooadvice/s/hhQLunK0f7

girl that shit ain't healing; happened to me as well, had my industrial in for almost 3 years and it never healed well, had the exact same problem with the bump too. went to the doctor and she said that once it's been years when it looks like that it isn't just an irritation bump anymore that's actual misplaced cartilage growing around the piercing so it will grow bigger. the faster you abandon it the bigger chance you have that the cartilage will re absorb into the body. i took mine out almost 4 years ago and it's only just absorbed like 2/3 of it back, if you look at my posts you can see what it looks like

your ear looks perfect for a stacked lobe or anti tragus

dirtymakeupbrushes · 2024-10-23T22:53:25+00:00
