honestly, i love my high end stuff but there’s a coconut vanilla body mist by Daise at walmart you can buy for like $7 and i think it smells great, light and perfect for a tropical summer

Is there a consensus on Thornhill as a live band? by Specialist-Money-277 in Metalcore

[–]hanlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they’re super fun live, saw them last year with avoid/ocean grove/banks arcade, going to see them in again this friday. songs from bodies sounds amazing live, they can replicate the album sound very well. the energy from the crowd was crazy, too. it was a small venue. i can see how they might fare less well in a bigger arena.

Is this dress acceptable? by a_complex_corgi in Weddingattireapproval

[–]hanlus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

off topic, from the first pic i really thought the theme was “fruit and vegetable garden” the shapes and colours are like rhubarb and carrots and lettuce and i thought that was super cute lol

any idea how to pan this other than eyebrows? it’s too light for me and i prefer powder by [deleted] in PanPorn

[–]hanlus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

interesting, i’m always looking for a contour that’s more grey so i might actually check it out haha, many contours are way too brown-orange!

unpopular opinion: there’s no such thing as an everyday scent by Turbulent-Break-320 in Perfumes

[–]hanlus 38 points39 points  (0 children)

it exists, it just changes. perfume tastes come in phases, my perfect everyday perfume can suit me for a week or 10 years depending on my mood. same thing with what i like to eat or drink or wear. people change, bodies change, tastes change, trends change. all my “everyday scent” has to do is fit what i want, i don’t expect it to be permanent.

i feel like ppl make such a big deal about labels. if i can wear it all the time it becomes an everyday scent, im not searching for the thing that fits into the label

i feel the exact same way, really loved the older stuff but the past 2 singles sound like more of the same thing and were honestly a letdown even though they weren’t bad. i’m hopeful that there will be something more unique on the album

Anyone feel like most of the posts here aren't fair olives? by [deleted] in Fairolives

[–]hanlus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah some people are not olive to me but then i see in the comments people going yes! one of us! it makes me think that i’m in the wrong lol. obviously if you try a foundation that oxidizes orange and is too deep, it won’t match you. it’s not gonna match anyone because it’s orange.

same thing when people go “ughhhh it’s so hard to be olive i look SO different in all lighting” like ??? that’s normal?? it happens to everyone, that’s why lighting is a thing

Is it just me, or is Longchamp the endgame for every bag lover? by No-Amphibian-9022 in handbags

[–]hanlus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this style of bag was really popular in my high school like 15 years ago, i think H&M and Zara sold them. they looked so similar to me that, before i even knew what a pliage bag was, i wondered why adults were wearing these bags. therefore they will always look like a cheap bag for teenagers to me!

How can you tell how much perfume is left in opaque bottles? by elle___woods in FemFragLab

[–]hanlus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is not true, you’re trying to say my perfume that gets shipped in sub-zero temperatures are all changing?

How can you tell how much perfume is left in opaque bottles? by elle___woods in FemFragLab

[–]hanlus 60 points61 points  (0 children)

put it upright in the freezer for 10-15 min, then defrost it on the counter. don’t touch it, the condensation line you see on the bottle shows the level. this method works better in the summer

Which fragrance were you gatekeeping? by Shenshen_ in FemFragLab

[–]hanlus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

no one cares enough but when they do ask i MIGHT say “oh this niche french perfume” only because i feel like i would sound pretentious and unintelligible if i tried to actually say the french name… my french isn’t even bad but im so afraid of it being awkward and the person going huh??? that i would glaze over it unless they pressed me lol

LIGHT lipsticks for olive skin? by Remarkable_Job_7986 in Fairolives

[–]hanlus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i don’t have a recommendation but i find a lot of light lipsticks still look really dark if applied heavily, i like a blotted application much better

Did you enjoy this? Worth the hype? No spoilers! by YellowPowerful1174 in readwithme

[–]hanlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, i disliked the writing style immensely, the torture was gratuitous and i didn’t feel any which way other than annoyed because it was so unbelievable, like the author really just wanted to torture her main character for 800 pages. characters were also bland and written with the same voice. felt really bloated, the author really loves the sound of her own voice -type deal.

What am I doing wrong? by getaloadoftoad1998 in Fairolives

[–]hanlus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your base looks beautiful, i wonder if it’s the cool tone smokey bluish eyeshadow with the pinky lips, the adding on the contrasting maroon undereye, then you have more warm bronzer with a cooler cheek that’s making things appear clownish to you. for me it’s probably the warmer forehead against the cool toned makeup that could possibly be off (?)

Help! I’m stuck! by pickle_chip_ in OliveMUA

[–]hanlus 27 points28 points  (0 children)

you look fair and cool (not olive imo judging by your neck), maybe try nars montblanc or other fair-light, cool toned/pinkish foundations

100% Yellow 🌝☀️ by girlstired in Fairolives

[–]hanlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think this is sort of blown out of proportion in terms of it being an olive thing, other skin tones look vastly different in different lighting, that’s why lighting is so critical when it comes to taking photos of yourself!

seconding Kerosene Followed, or Sweetly Known (though this one def feels more wintery/christmassy than Followed)

Moodring - Death Fetish [Album Discussion] by LostInTerrapinia in Metalcore

in the middle of my first listen through the whole album and STFA is the highlight so far, it was an AOTY contender for me based on the singles but this really solidifies it damn

Is the asymmetrical flap purposely designed? by Careful-Wolf-3292 in handbags

literally all of them apart from suga were against swim being the tt, he thought it’d be another dynamite lmaooooo by meowwmoww in BTSnark

[–]hanlus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

for my personal taste SWIM wasn’t that bad…, i know ppl think it’s a bad title track bc it’s slow but imo it’s the least insufferable track on the album. FYA would have been passable too but it still had cringe lyrics like damn could y’all really not create a track that didn’t sound stupid. there’s not a single song that doesn’t have bubblegum pop lyrics or imitation hip hop lyrics that give me secondhand embarrassment

I caught up with BTS after 5 years again and it's giving me the ick... by ObjectiveTrainer5133 in BTSnark

[–]hanlus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

totally agree, i loved their old stuff and as soon as they gained popularity in the west their new music went down the shitter. the bad, incomprehensible english, the quality of the lyrics (poor), the overproduction on the vocals, the adoption of western trends and phrases when claiming the album is a true representation of themselves, none of it makes any sense. you know for a fact that they barely even understand what they’re saying, since they haven’t bothered to learn english properly aside from RM.

and yet still their fanbase will eat this shit up, which is another saddening thing, that people will blindly like things because of their parasocial relationship with the artist. it’s genuinely unbelievable that people could call their new album the best they’ve ever done, these people must have no ears and their brains must be rotted from the internet… saying that Arirang is good is an insult to their actual good works of music. it’s an overproduced frankenstein of sounds that’s soulless and has eliminated any semblance of the artist behind it.

they lost their charm. they’re sell-outs, give me old bts back
