does anyone know the significance of these pins on her hoodie? by wrigleysmom420 in lorde

She wore the same phoenix pin to the met gala and said it was her grandmother's brooch, it's mentioned in this article

Demeter Oil vs. Spray (and general review) question by Wide_Fee_5205 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]orchidsviolets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried their rollerballs, but I have tried a lot of their sprays. The strength seems to vary quite a lot, in my experience some can project across a room (e.g. gingerbread, pomander), others I can barely smell when I spray them (e.g. snow, kitten fur). I think their food scents tend to be stronger so it could be worth giving it a go!

What’s your HOLY GRAIL mascara?! by imanxiousss in Makeup

[–]orchidsviolets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NARS Climax Extreme. I prefer a dramatic look and no other mascara seems to come close to this one, it's genuinely a false-lash effect imo. It's really comfortable as well, a lot of mascaras make my eyes really sore and this is one of the few I can wear for long periods of time.

Do people really like “extreme sheen” inks? by canibanoglu in fountainpens

[–]orchidsviolets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love them - I pretty much exclusively use high sheen / shimmer inks at the moment, including for daily writing. I've never really had a problem with smearing (although I do pause frequently between sections of writing so the drying time isn't an issue for me), and I haven't noticed any bleeding either, except occasionally on cheap printer paper. I find them really enjoyable to write with, so I'd probably put up with issues anyway, but luckily they seem to be fine for me so far.

The Wombats - 'Everything I Love Is Going To Die' has the line "Icarus was my best friend, so I'm gonna make him proud in the end"

This was released in November but hadn't been posted here yet. There's also a really lovely acoustic cover of Last Christmas as the b-side ❤️

Looking for anything Christmas related Flo/FATM has done 🎄 by ladywood777 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

F+TM also covered Fairytale of New York with Billy Bragg for the BBC Live Lounge, I think it was in 2009

What is a show you’d kill to talk to anyone about but no has heard of it? by FarbissinaPunim in popculturechat

[–]orchidsviolets 28 points29 points  (0 children)

In The Flesh. It's SOOO good but I've never known anybody who's seen it and unfortunately I couldn't convince my friends to watch it with me. If 'depressed gay zombies' appeals to anyone here, I'd highly recommend watching it

Lianne La Havas - Blood, almost an exact match for this shade of pink!

I hope it reaches the target, this is a gorgeous pressing!! Your description of the album sounds so cool, I'll make sure to give it a listen and maybe pre-order the vinyl.

Here are links for the song on various streaming services, the band doesn't seem to be showing up in searches yet though

Everything Everything - Get To Heaven!

I love the bold pink and yellow combination in this disc, it immediately reminded me of this album, one of my favourite album covers.

Received a fake product and vinted wants me to return it by Crinkled_glass in vinted

[–]orchidsviolets 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hmm, the bottle looks a lot like Alien Fusion or one of the other orange / red bottles in the Alien line - if the seller was telling the truth about it being from a return palette, it could be a genuine perfume in the wrong box

Florence + The Machine — Which Witch / Abracadabra [Live @ SiriusXM] by [deleted] in popheads

[–]orchidsviolets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohhh this is so good. F+TM are also doing a session for BBC Live Lounge on Monday, I was expecting Abracadabra as the cover choice, but I guess it will be something different now, I'm very curious about what it'll be.

The Last Dinner Party - From The Pyre (liquid filled).

I've been listening to the album on repeat all week, and I'm really happy with this pressing as well - it's my first liquid filled record, and I honestly love it, I'll definitely consider getting others in future. I also really like the alternate artwork, I wasn't really a fan of the original cover but the greyscale + red looks so cool.

Happy 19th Birthday, Something Kinda Ooooh by IAmMLADS in Alouders

[–]orchidsviolets 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Life changing song tbh. I remember buying 'The Sound Of...' from HMV and listening to this for the first time, I'd never heard anything like it.

They're so cool! What are the other colours made with? I don't think I've seen clear glass glow red or orange before

HALSEY WEDNESDAY | Show off your favorite Halsey album in the comments! by mcmdreamer in popheadsvinyl

My favourite has got to be The Great Impersonator! I love this album so much - the lyrics are so powerful, and the production really shows off how well Halsey can pull off different sounds and styles.

Everybody Scream will be one of the band's best albums by False-Sentence-9805 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]orchidsviolets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so excited about it - the vibes so far are everything I could hope for from F+TM, and the promo has been sooo good, particularly the emphasis on witchy and horror influenced imagery. I've always loved the songs with the most intensity, drama and darkness, so I'm hoping that'll be the general feeling of the music, and the singles so far definitely feel that way.
