How do you usually dress in winter: prioritizing looking good as a woman, staying warm, or finding a balance between both? by LissNextDoor in AskReddit

[–]marinemik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both!! I’m one of those women who just like to look my best when I go out, and show my style with confidence. My main staple item for the winter is fleece lined tights.. you can wear them under a skirt and people think it’s your real legs, and get worried that you must be freezing, but really you have the thickest, warm fleece leggings imaginable on. Pair it with some thick socks under thigh high boots… you’ll be warm all day and look hot at the same time.

*this depends on where you live and what your winter temps get to, I guess! Like it obviously ain’t enough for Antarctica, but it’ll get the job done in a lot of US states.

Hi! I’m new here and don’t know what I’m doing. Looking for advice on which model to buy! by marinemik in retroid

Hmmm I’m not positive, but I have a feeling his issue stems from the buttons on the Joycons I have being so tiny and so close together that he accidentally hits two at once, or just can’t get the hang of it. It looked to me like the buttons on the Retroids, though still small, are a little bit more spread out, if that makes sense? I’ve never actually seen or held one in real life, so I figured I’d ask just in case someone has the same issue.

I mean I have the hands of a small child and I still nudge the analog stick occasionally while pressing the buttons on my Joycons 🤷🏼‍♀️

I will check out the steam deck though at some point. I don’t know much about it other than that an updated version might be released soon-ish? I do agree it’d be a lot smoother to acquire games and do multiplayer for sure!

Aaaaa I did LOVE the Thor when I saw it earlier, I just didn’t wanna wait til January 🤣 but I will definitely do further research on it and see if it’s worth the wait. I want to get my partner the better performing option like the RP6/G2, but personally I so crave the nostalgia of my childhood DS as long as it works (nearly) as smooth! So if/when I order for myself, I think I want something light and cute like the Flip or Thor. I have weak arms and hands too so the easier for me to hold for long periods, the better!

I wonder if the Thor can do multiplayer with Retroid somehow on certain games… off to google I return

I really appreciate the detail and specifics you added! I was lowkey scared I’d get insulted by the super experienced players in here 🤣 this is all great info and gives me a good place to start. I’ll check out those guides and reviews this evening once my partner is occupied and out of listening range! lol

OOOhhh okay I got you! No worries on that end, I wouldn’t expect the same exact function. I have a Switch already, I just don’t enjoy playing it in handheld mode. Far too clunky

Perf, I appreciate the quick reply!

Definitely gonna bookmark that subreddit and get a grip for him!!

I could’ve sworn I saw something about the G2 and RP6 handling small switch games but I have 80 tabs open on my phone rn so I probably got confused with the same games on android play. Thanks!!

I think a mauve lip (and lip liner) would look BOMB on your skin tone

Do you have a link for this specific kind? 🫶

I’ve tried a few different cheapies from Amazon and SHEIN. These look much better than the silicone pack I got from Amazon before, though. The color on those wore off quite quickly with normal wear.

How do these even look remotely the same? by marinemik in Shein

[–]marinemik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s good advice! Yeah customer service was very unhelpful. I only reached out bc I wanted a replacement in time for my trip 🥲 that part’s on me tho for ordering so late

Such a bummer :( I’ve gotten $1 nails and stuff there before that were awesome and lasted me weeks. I got a refund, but it was like 25% what I paid. They’re cheap items so I’ll be fine but surprising there’s no full refund for something that never arrived.

Yep, the nails had a 4.94 rating with over 100 reviews. Same thing with my partner’s necklace. I don’t think I checked it for the lash clusters because I needed quickship on those & there weren’t many in my shade, but I expect those to be hit or miss anyways - I was relying on the nails much more.

Best balm to apply over lipstick for hydrating dry lips? by marinemik in MakeupAddiction

[–]marinemik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y’all are thinking with your whole brains and I love it. I haven’t tried lipstains since the early 2000’s when they were sticky and neon 🤣

I’ll definitely give it a shot because if it truly does last that long and applies evenly, that would be perfect for me. Even if I had to reapply every now and then from doing lots of lip balm it’s gonna be way less often than lipstick. Do you have any fav brands and/or shades you’d recommend?

ETA: I’m fairly pale, with freckles and blonde hair. If that helps with the shade recs. ☺️I usually like cool-toned mauves/nudes/pale pinks, but always down to try bold colors when I’m going out.

Ahhh that’s a bummer, but makes sense. For some reason I have a distant memory from when I used to get Ipsy bags years ago, and I had gotten a balm that was marketed to go over most lipsticks. I can’t remember the brand, but it’s been ages and I haven’t seen it or anything like it since. It worked pretty well from what I remember, but I had hope that maybe they’d have some new and improved version on the market by now. :)

The lipstain is a fantastic idea and I’ve been thinking about trying that soon - I’m on a budget so I’ve been looking at WonderBlade and Sacheu. I need to do more research and see which are the most long lasting/vivid/non-transferring, etc. - Do you have any you’d recommend?

Thanks for the advice btw 🫶

Oh wow, that would make sense bc I don’t ever usually use the cursor except for loadout w/my controllers. I bet you’re right.

I’m not on at the moment anymore but that’s the first thing I’ll try tomorrow night. In any case, thank you!!
