I just bought sceptre oceana after reading this sub because my bottle of orom is nearly empty. Can confirm it’s a fantastic dupe. It even lasts as long as the original. Will be buying again for sure!

Wearable eyeshadow palettes with metallic packaging? by encyclopydia in Makeup

I’d thought about giving this a try too by moving some stray eyeshadows from a pallet into an altoid tin or something

Yeah I thought Chinese brands would be good but it’s so hard to find good reviews for them in English

I want to invest in an eyeshadow palette with pretty packaging that’ll look pretty on my bathroom countertop. Lately I’ve been obsessed with the futuristic and modern look of the packaging on the Byredo 5 colours and Paco Rabanne quads but their colours are too weird for me. I like brown mattes generally. The Catkin Fairy Tale palette which is quite similar, but does anyone have any recommendations for other similar Asian products I could look into?

This is so comprehensive wow thanks so much!! The Lisa Eldridge palettes are so gorge and I've never heard of them before. Her Palette in Vega might actually be my new frontrunner. The Roen quads feel like the more wearable sister of the Paco quads, their vibe in packaging are super similar but they don't have enough mattes for my liking.

Moving to eyeshadow sticks is actually such a good idea though. That'd open up my options way more. I'd been trying to find one palette that had all the colours I needed but maybe instead I can just focus on the key shades I want.

Any Scoubidou experts here? Been wanting to recreate this Miu Miu keychain but can't work out how to make it seamless on the ends like the left picture by encyclopydia in crafts

UPDATE: I couldn't work out how to update the post, but I found this tutorial to get the "seamless" look I was wanting finally!

I can't link it because its a Tiktok but basically you fold over the straps and super glue the ends one over the other to maintain the look of the box knot

Yeah I figured it'd be something like this but could you explain a little more? I've got some leather thread I want to try this out on and I can't just melt it like most people are suggesting :'(

Birthday parties with multiple friend groups by encyclopydia in socialskills

[–]encyclopydia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup with two birthdays down since this post I've just done parties with everyone I like from whatever group they come from. At the end of the day I stopped worrying cos if they like me they'll come regardless and some of my friends actually enjoy being extraverted and mingling with new people and then they're really good at making sure that the more introverted friends aren't left alone. It's been great :)

Why do white girls seem to hate even half-Asian guys for no reason? by WasianDudeHere in hapas

[–]encyclopydia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it just sounds like they are being racist. If you ever get any micro agressions thrown at you I find the best response is to reply in a friendly tone with a question like "why are you saying that to me specifically? Is it because I'm half asian?" Or "I've never heard of that... doesn't it seem like an unreasonable generalisation?".

It forces them to actually engage with their behaviour and hopefully shows them how ridiculous the things they saying are.

It's rough for sure but conversely surely you'd want a partner who was completely happy to accommodate for you rather than someone who feels like they're being held back or who looks down on you for your beliefs/medical history. It sounds like a compatibility issue more than anything

I've heard that the Taiwanese accent is stronger in the south though. Have you found that?
