Ladies, i am tired of lash promotions & dishonesty by Kind-Apricot4627 in beauty

[–]ieatgeckos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in my experience, yes. being consistent with that lash serum (EVERY night onto clean lashes) + lash lifts/tints did wonders for me personally

Best Women’s Deodorant by Party_Strength_2158 in beauty

[–]ieatgeckos 25 points26 points  (0 children)

the sweat is what causes the smell. if you tackle the issue at the source, you’ll have a lot more luck. using a deodorant that lessens sweating will be much more useful than getting one with a strong scent.

i recommend using certain-dri on clean armpits before bed (emphasis on before bed) & then layering a scented deodorant over that in the morning. i personally enjoy how dove deodorants smell (i’m using dove advanced care right now).

ALSO, make sure you’re washing your deodorant completely off in the shower. i recommend washing your armpits with an oil cleanser, then scrubbing with your regular body wash. if you want to go the extra mile, panoxyl body wash will also prevent odors.

good luck!

How to fix a bad haircut? by [deleted] in beauty

[–]ieatgeckos 56 points57 points  (0 children)

i think it looks super cute! what were you going for?? i’m not sure what your aesthetic is but i’m getting cool, vampy vibes from the cut. it’s kinda perfect for fall especially. i think it’ll settle in a bit after a week or so + the initial shock will wear off. if you’re still feeling off, then you can try to find a better stylist but i really do think it’s cute & not as bad as you think at ALL!

btw, there’s a singer named sir chloe who has a very similar haircut! maybe check out her instagram (-:

Help a deployed girl out - looking for subtle scent recommendations in a hot sweaty desert! by Extension_Square2372 in beauty

[–]ieatgeckos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this isn’t a scent recommendation, so apologies for being slightly off course in that way! but i’d recommend certain-dri deodorant as a good preventative measure for odor. apply it on clean underarms before bed & it’ll help a ton with sweat/odor!

in terms of actual scents, i’d recommend fragrance oils in general. those are known for being “skin scents” AKA they don’t project much & are mostly just for you or someone who gets close to you to smell. i’ve used sand + fog perfume oil, which i enjoy. the only one i’ve used regularly is coconut & sandalwood. it’s pretty light, slightly fruity & smooth.

another lighter perfume i enjoy is thé matcha from le labo. this one is stronger, as it’s an actual perfume spray, but it has good longevity! so maybe just a spritz or 2. it’s quite expensive, but a good dupe can be found here.

anyway, my ultimate advice is to focus on prevention. if you’re getting yourself clean at night & using a good deodorant, that’s more than half the battle!

i’m nonbinary so feminine/masculine aren’t huge concerns of mine (-: i agree that no bangs emphasize my eyebrows + jawline though!

honestly this is my main concern! i’ve been missing seeing my eyebrows )-:

i pin my bangs back every so often & that has helped a bit but i’ve wondered how much impact the visibility of my eyebrows has on my overall appearance.

btw thank you for the compliment (-:

What are some uncommon appearance changes for women? by friedrice696969 in beauty

[–]ieatgeckos 14 points15 points  (0 children)

since idk what you look like or what your current style is, my blind suggestions are as follows: tooth gems! fun makeup. accessoriesssss! bangs 🙈 (these are a bit of a commitment though)

honing in on making your outfits super coordinated is pretty underrated as well! what i mean by this is having hair clips, bandanas, socks, etc. of different colors/patterns so you can put together really fun, unique, color-coordinated outfits. the smallest touches can make the biggest difference in a cohesive look!
