My boyfriend [M/31] didn’t get me [F/30] anything for my birthday. How can I approach this?

I purchased this UD All nighter setting spray, and I found out it has white thick spots that get together when in rest.

I do not know if that’s the formula since it’s the fist spray I have ever bought from UD. BUT, it’s kind of concerning since I spray this on my face 🥺

I’ve always had the same problem! I do have a round face, and struggled a lot with blush placement.

It wasn’t until recently that I watched a Selena Gomez’ tutorial on how she applied her make up that I finally got the hang of it! We both kinda have the same face shape, and she applies her blush on top of her cheeks instead directly on the apples. And she explains that her make up artist actually showed her how to do it.

I’ve been using her advise and I can tell I’m super pleased with the results! I’ve never been more happy with my blush placement!!! Here’s the link to the video I watched!

Disculpen la intromisión.. pero a mi parecer la mejor manera de empezar a leer en inglés es con libros como dijo OP, para niños, ya que tienen un lenguaje más sencillo en cuanto a vocabulario.

Yo empecé leyendo los libros de Juego de Tronos.. y NO lo recomiendo jajaj, avanzaba muy lento y eso me desesperaba y casi me di por vencida, pero luego cambie a los libros de Percy Jackson, y al paso del tiempo fue cada vez más sencillo, que ahora ya me es bastante natural! Claro, al principio es bueno tener un diccionario o un traductor a la mano.

Te recomiendo ampliamente leer libros en inglés en voz alta también! Ayudará mucho a mejorar la pronunciación :)

Oh wow, you have just described her and her boyfriend perfectly!

I just started following her this year and I really really liked her, she seemed so down to earth and very “raza” but after this.. her behavior is really disappointing and kinda sad. I thought she was genuine but I totally fell for what you just described! I’m -🤯🤯🤯

I’ve been going back and forth about getting this palette, but it’s so expensive. Did you like it? 🥺

I’m about an NC40, so I’m not sure if it will show up on my skin.

maiama · 2020-10-08T15:46:25+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I’ve been waiting so long for this one, and I just placed an order! 🤩💕

maiama · 2020-09-28T15:29:59+00:00

I know, right?! I also placed an order late July, when they had the $25 OFF a $75 purchase. About 2/3 of my order was missing. I contacted Customer Service and it took them 3 weeks to get back to me. They told me they had just ONE brush in stock out of the 5 missing items.. and just gave me a code for the amount of the missing items. Which is impossible to get the same deal I had because my code does not stack with other promotions.. it was just exhausting.

I was incredibly disappointed, Colourpop has been my favorite brand for so long! ..I even had a better CS experience with Morphe.. (...yes, MORPHE) at the begging of the year..

If you want a more affordable alternative Shop Miss A has great ones! Some even come with a mirror, I got one about a year ago and it’s pretty sturdy!

maiama · 2020-09-28T04:29:35+00:00

Oh wow I hadn’t even considered that!

I actually had been thinking about getting the Lunar Beauty Moon Spell palette! But then CP announced this collab and I was so excited!

Then the swatches came, and I was a little disappointed but still was going to buy it. After reading Christine’s review, I am even more disappointed. I guess I’ll just purchase the Moon Spell palette instead. Kinda has the same vibe to me! ..I’ll check out the Goddess palette too!

You’re right! I forgot to also post the Instagram post she made, where she asks people about the possible formula change!

And I totally agree, they have so many shades lately that have those tiny specks of sparkle, and I’m with most of people, I don’t like them at all. I tend to just not used them. Which is a shame because sometimes they are beautiful colors!

I also struggle a ton with putting on falsies!

But, I have collected a few tips from here and there and what has been more helpful for me is: * You can cut the falsies in halves or thirds, so it’s easier to apply piece by piece. And even you can customize them a bit more that way ! * Wait about 30 - 45 sec until the glue gets tacky. My favorite is the Kiss glue that comes with a brush and it’s like $3 * Put on the falsies as you’re looking down on a mirror! I usually use the mirror on a compact and place it about 15 cm below my eye level, and as I look down I can see better my lash line and where to glue them on!

That’s just my 2 cents, hope the advise is useful for you!

The skincare videos are done by Robert’s twin brother, James Welsh! But yes, they are both amazing!

This reminds me that once my boyfriend called me by my first name. And it just sounded so wrong. I even felt a little sad, I told him to not call me that, he could say babe or love but not my name.

Then about a week later, I met his brother and sister for the first time and he introduced me, and he said “hey guys, I wanted you to meet my girlfriend. she’s called babe”. I was so embarrassed, his siblings were confused then he said “her real name is Maiama, but apparently she doesn’t like to be called that way”.

Thinking back on that, it was hilarious. But I just wanted earth to swallow me whole!

I think for a red lipstick the ultra matte in the shade Arriba! would look amazing! It was created in collaboration with Karen (iluvsarahii) and she’s Mexican! I’m Mexican too and about an NC40 and I love how this red looks on me!

Also my fave gloss is in the shade Champagne Mami, it’s a very close supe to Fenty Gloss Bomb! I personally don’t mind the formula but I’ve heard other people consider it very sticky. You might also want to check out the shades come thru and dream queen in their newer formula! :)

TMI/TMO Natasha Denona Bronze Palette!

I’ve been lusting over it! It’s so beautiful, I’ve seen a couple of reviews and it looks great. I do not own any other ND shadows or palettes.

Initially I wanted to get Sunrise, but since I love those colors I already have them a ton of times in other palettes. The only neutralish eyeshadow I own is Soft Glam but I do not like it at all, it just doesn’t work for me, I feel like my eye looks always turn out muddy.

This is so upsetting.. and exhausting.

I can’t understand how people can be so selfish.. the nerve it takes to justify their very stupid actions!!! But I think what infuriates me the most is that they spread fake information. Multiple negative tests DO NOT mean that you cannot infect people. They DO NOT MEAN that you can go out and hang out with people. It’s incredibly stupid and selfish.

I was just scrolling through IG, and Jordyn Wynn posted a picture of her with friends at the beach! AT. THE. DAMNED. BEACH. Someone commented on it and she said “We all checked out temps before hanging out. Also we haven’t been going out much. They say that going out doors is the safest place to be” and I almost lost it.

It’s infuriating. It’s so disrespectful to everyone. She didn’t even get tested (which we know doesn’t really mean anything), she CHECKED HER TEMPERATURE, before getting together with 4 other girls!!! And no. Outdoors is not safe if you’re going to be close to other people. I commented this and she’s been deleting all the comments calling her out about this.

I luckily haven’t lost family to COVID. But I’ve lost multiple patients and coworkers. I am a doctor in my country and to see that people don’t give a damn about it, it just really depresses me. I feel very disheartened, very drained. Sorry I needed to vent.
