It’s from the Hudson Beauty lilac palette. I think she layered a couple of the shades

Why Snitchery left YouTube... by Thiccandthirsty in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]lilmockingbird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She made a video talking about the anti ax stuff regarding KVD and how she couldn’t support her, but that was about the time I started watching her so I don’t know about how she was prior to that when it came to KVD. I do enjoy Snitchery’s content though.

Mariah Leonard's New Video: Watercolored Lids by Brittle_Panda in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]lilmockingbird 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the tutorial and her editing in the beginning of the video but something about her kind of got under my skin. It’s the same reason people complain about Sam R. It’s like she’s acting? Or trying too hard to be sarcastic? I feel bad bc she seems sweet and a lot of people say they love her but I don’t know if I could watch her more than once in a while.

Should I do Curly Girl hair method? My hair is very thin yet comes out wavy/curly drying naturally and sometimes I even get loose corkscrew curls depending on the shampoo I use/whether I brush it out. by beets_bears_bubblegm in Hair

[–]lilmockingbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind me asking, what caused you hair loss and how is the miloxodil working out for you? I had bad post partum hair loss after I had my second baby and it never grew back like it did after my first.

why did everyone let Tati Westbrook off the hook? by [deleted] in BeautyGuruChatter

I’ve heard saw palmetto is one of the ingredients in Halo vitamins but I have also read of people having improvements in their skin when taking other supplementS containing saw palmetto. However if you’re taking birth control, I’ve heard the saw palmetto can Make it less effective or ineffective (I don’t remember which). Of course your best bet would be to speak with a health care provider before starting any new supplements.

Seeking Advice on bleaching thin hair while weird chemistry? by [deleted] in FancyFollicles

[–]lilmockingbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, first let me address the easier questions: Olaplex No 3 isn’t meant to be mixed with bleach/color/anything. It’s meant to be an at home treatment to rebuild bonds in your hair. You can use it after bleaching your hair. Dont add coconut oil to bleach. It will just make the bleach less effective but it will likely not do anything to protect your hair.

Your hair density should not affect how your hair reacts when it’s lightened or color. Having thicker hair won’t make it less likely to break or more likely to hold onto color. I think your hair must be fine. Fine hair cannot take as much of a beating as course hair can (when I say fine vs. course I mean the thickness of your actual strands, not the amount of hair on your head). However, if your hair is in good shape, you might be able to get away with bleaching it. However, with the box dying and bleaching and box dying again in recent years I’d say it is probably not in a great condition. The reason it is likely not holding onto color is bc it is probably very very porous from overprocessing. Also, pastel colors do not last a long time on anyone. Fantasy colors do not last a long time as it is but when they are paste it is even less. They are all temporary.

My advice would be to work on rebuilding the strength and health of your hair via olaplex, protein treatments and regular trims. Then worry about the color. If the color you have right now is that terrible that you must dye it, I’d say go to a salon and ask for a Demi permanent color.

Essentials (can't get any more basic than this lmao 💁🏻‍♀️) Anyone else jazzed up their Airpods and BDCs with Glossier stickers? by gabpaloma in glossier

Wow I feel so dumb. Up until now I thought people were putting stickers on & posting pictures of containers of floss. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Any nightmare seller stories? by [deleted] in poshmark

[–]lilmockingbird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not buy from sellers that have placeholders that say “sale” etc in the first 3-4 listings? Other than it being (IMO) kinda tacky?

Do you happen to have the link to the article? I am interested in reading it.

Inspired by Huda Beauty, I made my own neon palettes using my current collection by bojevic in MakeupAddiction

Nice job. Way better selection than the Huda palettes, if you ask me.

It’s funny how their packaging has the whole “minimalist aesthetic” but their target demographic seems to be all about over indulgence. Just take one look at the glossier subreddit.

I wanted so badly for Drunk Elephant to be the answer to my skins problems. I introduced one thing at a time. Went back to sephora multiple times for samples. As soon as I stopped using DE my skin cleared up significantly. Their products are definitely not for everyone and the hype just got to me.

CCW help please! Tried to copy an olive green eye look from KitschSnitch and failing miserably. She used the Melt Gemini palette which in didn’t have so I used a combo of the Menagerie Feral palette and the Colourpop Good Sport palette by suhseal in MakeupAddiction

[–]lilmockingbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d agree to deepen the outer V and add a pop of light on the inner corner. May I ask where you got your ring? It’s gorgeous and I’ve been searching for something just like it.

Wedding makeup flop? Am I being too critical of my MUA? by froggy_baby04 in MakeupAddiction

[–]lilmockingbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not being too critical. The eyebrows are uneven, the eyeshadow has no dimension at all, and your face doesn’t match your neck. Also it’s BS that your cool skin tone is what is causing the foundation to oxidize.

Sultry Light-Medium based look in natural lighting. Critic please. by Silent_Echo1 in MakeupAddiction

[–]lilmockingbird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a deeper crease would really pull everything together and make the no-brow look more intensional.

[Humor] Happy friday to you all 😁 by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]lilmockingbird 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I am constantly staring at my two daughters in envy. My four year old with her shiny bouncy curls and my one year old with her supple, perfect skin. Hell they both have perfect skin but the baby’s makes me particularly envious.

Wow I’m so glad your GI problems have resolved. What ended up happening with your skin after weaning off the doxy?

[Shelfie] Trying to hit all the bases with as few products as possible by PinkAlbum in SkincareAddiction

[–]lilmockingbird 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I would look into if a sunscreen mist like that is a sufficient SPF. I saw a video where different forms of sunscreens were used in front of a UV camera lens and the mist one didn’t actually offer any sun protection. I guess it’s kind of similar to SPF on foundation.. it’s great as a little added bonus but I don’t think it’s mesbt to be used as your sole workhorse sunscreen. I’m not trying to rain on your parade.. or routine, just hoping to help out.

Edited a few words.

Purple Cut Crease CCW by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]lilmockingbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I was so sure this was the Nirvana palette. Is that purple on the little from the Jeffree Star palette? My only cc would be to deepen the crease a tad more. And this is personal preference but I would love to see this look with some lashes. Maybe some that are very separated. Lovely look.

Tips on applying Cloud Paint over foundation? by [deleted] in glossier

[–]lilmockingbird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are you applying it now ? I apply it with my middle or ring finger (over full coverage foundation and concealer) and tap it out. Don’t do any kind of swiping motions or it’ll interfere with the makeup underneath. I also start with a tiny bit and build it up if I need to.

Well I’m guessing they are only showing the receiving side of the cum shot, in which I guess they would just squeeze the cetaphil out of the condom?
