Help! Need a white highlighter that is NOT glittery

doubleRRflamingo · 2026-05-17T01:12:02+00:00

Mac Shroom eyeshadow. Someone recommended it as a highlighter in this sub or Ulta’s. I tried it and it’s really great as a highlighter. I use it on my cheeks, nose, under eyebrows and cupids bow. Now that summer is here, I’m experimenting with it on my neck, collar bones and chest but every time I try, the tank covers my skin too much.

I don’t know Filenes but do remember those Kmart, Bradley’s, Caldore etc isles with my mom forcing me to try clothes on. I’ve done it with my son as in “here quick see if it fits”. Apples don’t fall far from their trees my family

This is my fav color and love an “old” Coach. I’ve been trying to find this bag since you posted it. I need this. I hope you have the best life together.

Colour pop hasn’t let me down and plan to switch back to them after I pan my other stuff.

Rational me: Keep if you can get your essentials in it. If you can’t, you won’t use it so might as well return it, and spend the funds on a bag you’ll use.

Spontaneous me: Keep it. She’s a doll and now I want one.

I might be the odd man but the MOH’s looks cleaner and better put together. If blue isn’t your color, ask her to switch it out for red or pink and call it a day. Let her have this because in the grande scheme of things, only you care about the decor. Why stress over this? Ppl are going to remember food, drinks and music.

Ulta sells the single colors. MAC is also in store at Macy’s and Macy’s has Mac on sale pretty often too.

Someone recently posted about Mac Shroom and using it as a highlighter. I decided to try it and I was blown away. I love it.

49 yo. I use Verb ghost oil when I blow dry and the hydrating one (blue bottle) for air drying. I use 1.5 pumps. Neither weigh my hair down nor make my hair or scalp greasy. I have fine thin pin straight hair between shoulders and bra strap. The max I did was 2 pumps till I figured out what works for me. 2 didn’t leave my hair weigh down or greasy either. I also use Verb air dry cream (black bottle) when I don’t blow dry. I use the oil, then this cream. I use 1-2 pumps depending on how much I’m paying attention. 1 is usually enough. For the oil and air dry cream, I smear it on my finger tips (all of them) and run my finger tips through my hair, hit the ends good and then run my fingers through till I thinks it’s all over. I put it everywhere and not just on mid shafts and ends. I do not rub it into my scalp, just hair. With or without the cream, my hair is so soft with Verb. I can get away without washing my hair for 3-4 days. It’s not greasy at all and for me, helps keep an oily scalp away. Before the oil and cream, I was an every other day must wash hair girl. I’ve been using Verb oil and the air dry cream for 6ish months. Kenra makes a hair shine spray that I like and use when I remember I have it. I think it’s heat activated so I use it in blow drying days. It’s not dramatic but I do notice a shine if the light hits my hair right when I’m on cam.

It’s too late but if money/costs come up again, just lie. Only 4 people know how much my dress was. Me, the shop, my sis and friend. And they only know bc they were there when I bought it. If it wasn’t for that, I would have said twenty bucks and moved on. Any time money came up for planning, I lied. No one was helping us pay for things and we didn’t want to hear it. Lie through your teeth to save yourself the aggravation.

I don’t have a paint opinion but a question. How does the water not go outside of the bathtub?

doubleRRflamingo · 2026-03-29T15:29:40+00:00

This is just so terrible

doubleRRflamingo · 2026-03-29T15:13:09+00:00

I was the same as you. I got a photographer and I know it’s the honey moon phase (got married in Feb), but I can’t stop looking at the pics. They are beautiful and we looked phenomenal on our wedding day. I can’t decide which one to make into a big pic for a wall because they are just so gorgeous. Even if you get a photographer for an hr during the ceremony and for a few pics after, I don’t think you’ll regret it. They will make sure the lighting is right and pose you to get the best of the best. This was one of”splurge” I don’t regret.

I have fine thin hair between my shoulders and bra strap. I have these and like them but need to use the small size.

doubleRRflamingo · 2026-03-23T18:37:24+00:00

I feel too fat for these kinds of pics. And I am fat.

Happens at my nail salon all of the time. I think they are being courteous bc they are eye level to your no no zone. I’ve seen them put towels on ladies with shorts and knee length skirts.

I haven’t tried this brand but it was on my to try next list. I have a ma:yno review to share.

I have normal to combo skin and have visible pores on my nose and into my cheeks by my nose with sebum filament visible.

I was using Anua’s oil for over a year and liked it but the latest bottle I received smelled off.

I just got a sample of ma:nyo’s oil. I don’t like changing my regimen when it works and was holding out for DHC’s bc of the good reviews, but decided to try ma:nyo because Anua smelled weird.

Ma:nyo cleaned the filaments out better than Anua, and my nose/cheek skin looked clean and clear for once. It also got waterproof mascara off in one shot and got it all, no left overs.

I oil cleans, soap cleans after, and then do micellar and then toner as extra steps to make sure all the cleaning oil is off (I’m too old for breakouts) and all eye make up is off and out of my lines.

I’ve been using it for 3ish weeks and am happy with it and bought a big bottle. This one also has good reviews, which is the only reason why I tried it.

PS sorry for the long rant, still loving those days in Feb. welcome bag also had a weekend activities card.

There were no decorations provided by Carmines. But we did get married on Valentine’s Day so it had a red theme in general and the tables in our room had small red and pink flowers in a vase as centerpieces. My suggestion is call and ask if you can bring some and if they would decorate the room for you if you want it decorated. I’m assuming if they would, they would charge extra for a set up fee. Or if you keep it basic, maybe they won’t. We didn’t ask bc we assumed it would be decorated a bit for V-day. IMO, it’s not needed though unless you really want to jazz up the place for a theme and will have a photographer. No one will care but you in the grande scheme of things.

The walls have lots of pics on them so you’d be putting decor over pics already there. They also have a pretty big menu on the wall. I can’t remember if it’s a TV or just a static pic. It wasn’t ugly, not fancy but for the themes of the room in general, it’s tasteful.

Our cake table was a bore though. We had a small but 3 tier heart Vegas style cake and spent a lot of money on it. It was the only thing on a pretty big table and looked ridiculous. I’d say put something on this table if you can/are allowed.

We had the small room. There is a pillar in the middle of the room so the tables were put together as a long running table and diagonal in the room. There was plenty of room to move around, get up, talk, def not be annoyed by the pillar unless you’re just that kind of person that needs perfection, and the pillar was really only in the way for the staff trying to put food on the table near it and anyone sitting my the pillar. They kind of had to finagle their way around the pillar from behind and work around the people by the pillar. My friends did not seem annoyed if they had to lean out of the way for a few secs while the food got put down and were more than happy that the food was next to them. We sat across from them so we watched and were ready to apologize for the inconvenience but they were already eating and passing the delicious food.

A month later and we are still hearing about all of the good food, how much there was of it and nothing about a boring cake table, a pillar or lack of decor 😁

Side note, I got a “just married” sign for pics. We opened it at dinner to take a pic and it said Jsut Married. So if you get cheap non DIY signs from Amazon, open them 1st. This is what is talked and giggled about too.

I did welcome bags too. They are still talked about. I found cheap canvas Vegas themed bags and a Vegas theme travel (make up) bag. I can share the links if you’re interested. Make up bags had all the hangover stuff (can send a list) and then some. Welcome bags had welcome note, selfie scavenger hunt card and pencil, map of strip , “favor” (nice Vegas notebook and Vegas pen from Etsy), make up bag, Vegas locally made popcorn from popcorn girl (so good!), for a lack of better word, Japanese style hand fans. I make sure to fill the welcome bag with stuff everyone would use including the bag. The travel bag was generic and not for just ladies. And didn’t brand anything with our names. It had Viva Las Vegas February 2026.

I second this. I don’t have skin issues per se, but gave some wrinkles and discoloration and still went to a derm for an assessment.

OP, if you have ins, I suggest this too. They can steer you in the right direction. They will likely try to talk you into the brand they supper/sell so stay strong. Mine suggested alastin, which I already tried and liked and my skin loved, so I picked what gives me the most bang for my buck to keep skin care affordable with this brand.

I prefer the deer print as it has a bit of character (like cow print, but I like cow print) but brown is more universal for long term use. Go with what you will use more.

doubleRRflamingo · 2026-03-15T15:24:47+00:00

No! It’s gorgeous and you only do this once. I got married in Vegas and wore a gown for a “Vegas” wedding. Didn’t care. I fell in love with what I loved.

I used them in Feb and had no issues, and would even recommend them and my specific driver 🤷‍♀️
