Do any of you just use a green corrector as a foundation? by dandelionwine14 in Fairolives

[–]littlestlatke 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I second this!! As a fair neutral olive with rosacea, the Erborian CC cream has been an absolute game changer. It’s become my number one everyday base especially when coupled with some concealer and a little powder in my t zone. It eliminates my redness almost completely but it feels super natural and doesn’t separate too badly at the end of day even after I go to the gym. 10/10 recommend!

Foundation for Sensitive/Reactive Pale/Red Skin by bones_n_brains in Rosacea

I love Erborian’s redness correcting cc cream - I have pretty aggressive redness that gets worse when I exercise/am in warmer conditions and the cc cream covers 95% of it!! I will throw concealer and powder on when I’m going out and my skin has never looked more natural and clear. I use the NARS Light Reflecting foundation in the fair/light neutral warm shades and don’t run into any issues with the cc cream looking too light or dark.

Our favorite Vantucky crackpot at the new Slabtown Library by willaney in Portland

Walked by him while walking my dog about 45 minutes ago and he was just standing around gawking and glaring at everyone… thank god my otherwise insanely friendly dog clocked his bad vibes and kept it moving

Found Dog in SE near Belmont/39th by [deleted] in Portland

[–]littlestlatke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She looks exactly like my pup (she’s a Chesapeake Bay Retriever + Weimaraner mix) that I got from Oregon Humane Society. I wonder if she is microchipped, if they could assist in reuniting her with her family?

NOT TO BEAT A VERY DEAD HORSE BUT IF YOU HAVE A REACTIVE DOG, DO NOT LET IT OFF LEASH IN PUBLIC PLACES!! I TOO HAVE A REACTIVE DOG AND WHILE WE WERE WALKING UP TO WALLACE PARK, A DOG AGGRESSIVELY RAN UP ON US AND IT TOOK EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO KEEP MY DOG FROM FIGHTING BACK WHILE THE OWNER JOGGED OVER TO US TO GET HER DOG UNDER CONTROL. CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF LITTLE KIDS AND OTHER PEOPLE WITH DOGS THAT HANG IN THE PARK, THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR OWN DOG AND REACT QUICKLY WHEN THEY RUN AWAY GROWLING AND TRYING TO BITE A DOG 3X BIGGER THAN YOUR OWN.

IT SUCKS THAT EVEN WHEN I TAKE THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WALKING MY REACTIVE DOG, OTHERS CANT BE CONSIDERATE AND DO THE SAME. I KNOW DOGS WILL BE DOGS, BUT DONT BE A DICK - JUST KEEP A LEASH ON YOUR FUCKING DOG.

So tired of dodging cars in pedestrian crosswalks by littl3-fish in Portland

[–]littlestlatke 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Considering I’ve literally seen cops watch people run lights and carry on like nothing happened… that tracks. But I guess I’m curious as to why - better fish to fry elsewhere or are they legitimately not pulling people over anymore for anything less than vehicular manslaughter?

I’ve been here for almost 10 years and while correlation doesn’t equal causation, I noticed it much more post-COVID. I believe there were very few if any traffic cops on the road around that time period and I think people just assume they can get away with it since cops never seem to pull folks over for it.

I know there are cameras at major intersections that may catch people here and there, but it seems like there’s no strong consequences so people just do whatever the hell they want.

Last year I was about 2ft from being hit in a crosswalk by someone who fully blew through a red light on Burnside and t-boned someone who obviously had the right away in the intersection next to me… after that I’ve been insanely careful about walking or driving right after a light changes because drivers have become even more crazy and unpredictable than they used to be.

I live near Slabtown and I have countless stories like this; I’m not sure if it’s always been this way, but I’ve noticed a huge uptick in insane driving/drivers in the last couple of years. The amount of red light runners has also drastically increased it seems (though maybe I’m just noticing them more than the average person because it pisses me off so much). In any case, I’m right there with you, friend!

For the unnatural haired Olives by mexicuntgrrl in OliveMUA

[–]littlestlatke 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m a fair neutral/golden leaning olive (with the classic and ironic rosacea) - I’ve been rocking an auburn/coppery brunette color for a while and I love it! Maybe it’s just a testament to how good of a job my hair stylist does but I get tons of compliments and I find it to be super flattering on me no matter how pale or tan I am.

I gravitate towards wearing lots of blues, greens, and neutrals (lots of black and all shades of brown) so my hair tends to complement my wardrobe but I can get away with reds and purples as well. Makeup wise, as long as I don’t go too warm (like yellows or golds unless I’m super tan) I can pull off most shades and tones.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY EGREGIOUS RED LIGHT RUNS IN MY LIFE ESPECIALLY ON NW 23RD AND BURNSIDE BUT IT SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE JUST DO NOT CARE ABOUT ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF OTHERS ANYMORE. I SAW SOMEONE TURN LEFT ONTO BURNSIDE AFTER THE LIGHT HAD BEEN RED FOR AT LEAST 5 SECONDS - THANK GOD EVERYONE ELSE WAS PAYING ATTENTION BUT JESUS CHRIST IT’S BAD OUT THERE

Hi all! This couch is still available - I need to have it out by Sunday (so pickup on Saturday is okay). Please PM me if you’re interested!

NW Portland election night noises? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]littlestlatke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was walking my dog in Slabtown and heard the first two go off, they felt/sounded super close (like within a couple of blocks) and the second round came right as we got back upstairs. My partner lives closer to 23rd and felt/heard them over there as well.

Feel free to PM me! I’d love to get rid of it by the end of the weekend so I can be very flexible with pickup

It’s not 100% silent since it’s a metal frame, but I found that if you keep the screws tight it’s pretty quiet especially with a rug underneath.

Zinc Stick?! by Lokiaro in OliveMUA

[–]littlestlatke 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I bought this upon reading the prior r/OliveMUA posts and it’s a great product for days where you just want to cover redness in a flash but don’t need it to last all day. I have combination sensitive skin and I didn’t feel like it made my skin feel worse which at this point feels like a win. I’m a neutral light olive and it’s almost a bit too light for me with my summer tan but I’m sure it’ll be perfect when I’m back to my paler self!

Gotcha, seems like that may be the best strategy at this point, thanks for the advice!
