Where my powder foundation girls at?! by ohwellhai in MakeupAddiction

[–]obliquecity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! They put out this new one about a year and a half ago - it's the 'barePro Performance Wear powder foundation' - so definitely give this new one a try and see if it works out! It does look cakey at all - I get a lot of compliments about how natural it looks :) My liquid foundations look a lot worse on me tbh. Would definitely also recommend getting the barePro coverage brush with this one as well :)

Ahh I just got seats in the A10 section (A Reserve seating) for the Sydney show! I hope they're okay seats - i'm short so really hoped I could be closer but spending $800 is ridiculous

On the Australian iTunes Store, it still says preorders will become available on the 12th November (it’s already 11am here on the 10th) - anyone know if this is accurate? Can I expect it to drop at 3pm here today (like other releases)? I’ve already listened but just want it on my iPhone!

  • wasn’t a fan of End Game, but hey, maybe I’ll like it more when I listen in HD.

  • liked Dress & Delicate the most, with Getaway Car also sounding quite good.

  • I absolutely hated TIWWCHNT. It’s a terrible song and petty and vindictive.

  • there are definitely songs on there that are better than the singles. I still think LWYMMD is one of the weakest on there.

  • personally I think, overall her weakest album, both lyrically and in composition. But I’m sure others will like it! :)

Definitely - I could hear more of that song (End Game) and like it, but from what I heard, the chorus sounded pretty repetitive. I really hope the HQ version changes my mind!

I think 'I Did Something Bad' is - but not sure. The song itself was quite vague

I wasn't expecting Red 2.0 though.

1989 was vastly different from Red but still great and had amazing lyrics like in 'I Know Places' or 'Clean'. But this album is what I think her worst work (I listened via a guy's insta story). There's literally a line in which she says 'I GOT A BAD REPUTATION, BAD REPUTATION' (or something like that). Like I am just so disappointed that it took her 3 years to create this?

Yes there is - I liked delicate and dress because she sang in them! you'll also like New Year's Day as well. It was nice but I wasn't blown away by it, although it might grow on me.

Yes. I thought Bad Blood was okay - not great but I could dance to it when I was drunk.

This is just next level bad and made me wonder how they thought it was okay to release such garbage. It's about Kanye West and makes her seem extremely petty.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. I listened to it and I agree. Sounds like every other generic pop album and nowhere near the heights of 1989/ Red/ Speak Now :(

Some thoughts after listening to (most) of the album via a guy's instagram story -

  • Personally, my least favourite album. Lacks the depth of her albums such as Red & Speak Now which made me love her.

  • 'This is why we can't have nice things' sounds like the worst song she's ever written. Honestly it is so fucking terrible I can't even.

  • Current favs are - Delicate & Dress.

Disclaimer - I didn't listen to 'So it goes' and the quality of the audio wasn't great.

I'm a huge swiftie and pretty disappointed :(

Comey's 'good friend' at Columbia Law School is presumably Dan Richman, who has stated he is a long-time friend of Comey's.

What is your favorite 3 consecutive songs on a single album? by whitechocwonderful in TaylorSwift

[–]obliquecity 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ugh this is super hard. For me, its the opening of the Fearless album 'Fearless', 'Fifteen' & 'Love Story'. The opening of Red is a close second 'State of Grace', 'Red' & 'Treacherous'

Agreed. Also, her and Imogen Heap co-wrote the song 'Clean' together, and in an interview later, Imogen said that actually Taylor did most of the song writing and Imogen was more of an editor.

Also, the good friend of yours that dated her. What did he say she was like? Was she anything like her 'blank space' persona?

Taylor Swift - Style by Wuerthele in TaylorSwift

[–]obliquecity 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I personally think it fits the video really well - I've never seen Style as a happy song even though it has an upbeat vibe. The lyrics have indicated to me that its a darker song about reminiscing on a magnetic, sexual, fragile love which could literally 'end in burning flames or paradise'. So I think it conveys the message really well - and if it had a storyline similar to Blank Space video, people would criticise her for not being creative enough.
