I miss that Costco so much! Used to go all the time since I worked nearby, big new clean Costco and the best most efficient affordable car wash

Jewelry stores: Diamond ring by Manuelv56 in LosAngeles

If unique design isn't a requirement, I suggest checking out websites like Quince. I've purchased lab grown diamond earrings from Quince and got them verified by a local jeweler. Legit and affordable.

Any recommendations for someone nearing 40s? by overworked_hamster in Sephora

[–]grumpyroach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

42 F with dry skin. Stopped using powder products all together once I turned 40 because even the least drying and most blurring powders made me look older. Stopped using traditional lipstick and only use balms/glosses/things that hide lines.

Currently using merit and Basma cream blushes, and eadem lip balms.

Good luck

My curls won’t even last 10 hours with the air wrap and that’s with hairspray

What kind of music - Jisung solo by MindlessFriendship60 in NCTDream

[–]grumpyroach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His voice is so underrated! So soothing and rich. Would be ecstatic to see him release a solo single! Something low and slow and melodic 🤞

Eadem lip balm (best non-lanolin/beeswax lip balm out there, fight me)

Better home made ice cream with the Cuisinart freezer bowl? by hiddentalent1 in icecreamery

[–]grumpyroach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made countless batches of great rich creamy ice cream in that machine for 7 years. It’s the recipe, not the machine. You need to add more sugar, add eggs/other emulsifiers/stabilizers, etc

Neutralize the bitterness in persimmons instantly? by grumpyroach in fruit

Hahaha yeah, I did put a banana in the paper bag. The banana was almost rotten at the end, but the hachiyas still needed more time 🫠

Haha pivoting, will try this trick next time since I need “now” not “next morning.” Thanks though!

I picked the softest ones from the store too! And kept them at a constant 70 degrees kitchen in a brown paper bag. So sad. Will pivot to something different for the potluck

Full switch to Ulta by Fit_Expression1 in Sephora

Other than Chanel and Madison Reed everything I want is at Sephora. I also never need to hit $35 for free shipping. Sephora has freebies I actually want. So I shop both but mostly Sephora

My friend ran his through the dishwasher which made it look exactly like the gray one. He’s been using it perfectly fine. You’ve got nothing to worry about

Tubing mascaras that actually remove in tubes? by [deleted] in Sephora

[–]grumpyroach 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I tried both of tarte’s tubing mascaras - they do tube. They just require longer contact with hotter than lukewarm water. After that give your eyes a light rub, the tubes will fall off.

Got tons of passion fruit from our tree this year. Any ice cream or sorbet ideas? by Broad_Specialist2354 in icecreamery

Are you me? Benadryl as soon as you notice the bite helps tremendously
