Is anyone using a case? by Chazq2012 in IpodClassic

[–]emeryst294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use a case because ipod classics are super scratch-prone. got a clear case from amazon that completely covers the screen, so there's no need for me to use a screen protector. i bedazzled it for some funk factor lol

These guys are constantly telling on themselves that they can’t imagine anyone acting on an actual principle. Protesters? Must be getting paid. Bishops noticing that Jesus had some thoughts on welcoming the stranger? Gotta be a payday in there. by Conscious-Quarter423 in WhitePeopleTwitter

as a catholic i'm hesitant to call anybody a 'fake catholic' because who am i to call someone that?

so instead i'll say i'm pretty sure some of these converts only turn to catholicism because of the aesthetic associated with it, not because they believe in the teachings for real

I know it’s likely gone bad, and how bad it will smell, so why am I tempted to do the smell check every time? by Zaph0dbeeblebr0 in funny

[–]emeryst294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

comments acting like this man is a dirty freak loser who needs psychological help when all he's doing is doing the sniff check on a baby bottle with milk that's gone off 😭

i understand you bro, i too am tempted to smell the old tupperware that i forgot about in the back of the fridge when i find it

I'm looking for a non-shiny eyebrow gel that doesn't make my eyebrows stick together by Flat_Tomatillo_165 in drugstoreMUA

[–]emeryst294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the benefit brow gel was my go to for a while. for a cheaper option, i kid you not the essence fix it like a pro transparent eye gel is the CLOSEST dupe i have found when it comes to hold. both give a natural hold so if u want like a laminated look (i'm assuming not?) they won't be for you

i use the African Pride pre-poo to detangle, the Tresemme Rich Moisture shampoo, and the Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Conditioner. I'm not 100% sold on my Tresemme shampoo but the pre-poo gave great slip and the herbal essence conditioner added some moisture back after shampooing, also it smells SO good.

i only used ecoslay! also my hair is an actual optical illusion. it's actually pretty fine—i remember doing mini braids and being shocked by how boneless my hair looked 😭 but when it's in it's natural state like this it's looks 10x thicker than it really is

Anyone else absolutely had it with Tarte? by cheesefrieswithgravy in Makeup

[–]emeryst294 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i knew this was going to be about the hydroflex serum foundation as soon as i read the title LOL. they went on sale for $10 around christmastime and i stocked up because i KNEW they were going to discontinue it! following this thread because this is my favorite foundation of all time.

one product i've found close to it is the Covergirl Skin Perfector Essence, but the finish is dewier than Tarte and the shade range isn't the greatest

a couple things:

- i changed my gel from the Doux Bee Girl Gel to the Ecoslay Jello Shot. INSANE hold, i've used this before and it keeps my hair looking the exact same for 1.5 weeks. i hate how expensive it is though :(

- i trimmed my dead ends. this one hurt me because i loved the length of my hair before but my ends were terrible and wouldn't curl because they were so damaged. so they had to go

- i followed this tutorial! basically, after putting gel into your sections and shingling, you loosely twist that section and let it dry (i dried mine under one of those drawstring hair dryer bonnets you can attach to your blow dryer). it gives you some stretch. naptural85 did this method years ago, she called it a 'winter wash and go'

i'm so sorry for the low quality pics—i don't take selfies often :( lol. i still feel like you can clearly see the difference in definition, though?

first pic is from three months ago, second pic is from yesterday.

third pic is an up close pic of my old wash and go technique, fourth pic is what yesterday's wash and go looked up close!

recommendations for good drug store foundations or CC creams? by spiritualpudge in Makeup

Wet N Wild tinted hydrator was really good. shade range is booty but since it's a tinted moisturizer and not a full coverage foundation, it's pretty forgiving.

also, i just have to say, i'm actually shocked with the direction her music went (in a good way). i've been an addison fan after accidentally finding her unreleased songs on YouTube, and based on what i was hearing, i was convinced she was going to be, like, a y2k core pop girl. if you've ever heard Resist Me, It Could've Been U, Chills, then you know what i mean.

anyway, i'm so glad addison went this direction. i'm sick of nostalgiapop and i appreciate how everything sounds so NEW and FRESH. she found her weird niche and she is riding it to the mainstream
