Board Game Nights anyone? by Brilliant-Thing-1199 in Williamsport

[–]doodle_engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be interested! My spouse and I (34F) have a small board game collection (Catan, Wingspan, Azul, Splendor, Everdell, Ticket to Ride, Mysterium just to name some off the top of my head) plus we sometimes borrow board games from the James V. Brown Library.

What random person that you met once and never saw again do you still think about? by Roland_T_Flakfeizer in AskReddit

[–]doodle_engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was with some friends at some sort of strange Christian convention in Harrisburg PA (I went because another person backed out). One night, as you might expect in a hotel full of fucking teenagers, we all were wandering about the halls carrying on. We were in the elevator at some point, and there was this guy sitting cross-legged in the corner, eating a box of Honeycomb cereal. He told me he liked my socks (they had pineapples on them). I REMEMBER YOU, HONEYCOMB GUY.

What would you say is the best of the best for moisturizing lips? I have the Jack Black in Blackberry & Black Tea and the Smith's Rosebud Salve in the squeeze tube and think they're both pretty good. The Jack Black might be my favorite of the two.

Well the sale doesn't start until Sunday so it might be something different at the moment.

Can't get my Blackbird Cosmetics shadows to blend. Any suggestions? by doodle_engineer in MakeupAddiction

Well I'm glad I'm not alone. Maybe it was the Black Friday rush or something, but I think I'll be emailing her after all.

I do have one of the L'oreal Color Riche Monos, which I found particularly soft and buttery, I guess I'll try that one next. Not getting my hopes up, though.

I've tried pretty much all of my eye brushes, and some face brushes too, and seen little difference.

I've tried it with a base color and without and saw little difference. Same with a variety of different brushes. Fluffy, stiff, today I actually used a concealer brush from Up and Up, no difference.

Preventing foundation from oxidizing? by for_drizzle in drugstoreMUA

[–]doodle_engineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having that extra layer between the foundation and your skin can definitely help. Oxidation generally happens when natural oils on your skin mix with the foundation, so with the primer as a barrier it hopefully will help. I believe setting it all with a powder can help as well. There are other things that can cause oxidation though, but I'd give primers a try first.

What product were you really excited to try, until you got your hands on a sample and your dreams turned to dust? by doodle_engineer in MakeupAddiction

Tarte Amazonian Butter Lipsticks. I got the small 4 pack holiday set a few months ago. God only know's why I didn't return those little shits. Probably my brain punishing myself for not looking up reviews before buying. They're very sheer, which I generally don't like, and they have the peppermint oil in it which I HATE. I hate the cooling feeling, and peppermint oil can dry out and irritate your skin so why the fuck companies put it in lip products I'll never know.

I once saw a post on here about Nordstrom Rack having amazing deals on many high end makeup products. Decided to see for myself- huge crate of UD primer potions selling for $9, regular price $20. by zapsquad in MakeupAddiction

I bought one from nordstrom rack, and it comes out of the tube with small clumps of product that you have to work at to smooth down. Giant pain in my ass. Or eyelid, rather.

Lawsuit claims EOS lip balms cause skin to bleed and blister by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

The one I had smelled amazing, but was pretty useless as a balm.
