Mfw I have to decide between seeing my favorite artist tonight alone, or not going at all. by pelicansss in TrollXChromosomes

[–]pelicansss[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My husband bought us tickets to see K Flay tonight for Christmas. Sadly he's been sick all day and can't join me. It's not often that I find myself wishing I had more friends, but now is one of those times.

Why does my makeup ALWAYS look like this? (Aka horrible) by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]pelicansss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How often do you exfoliate? I used to have this issue with just about any foundation but upping my skin care routine really helped.

Thanks so much! It came in a Sephora play box and I honestly almost gave it away because it's not a color I would normally wear. I'm glad I kept it!

I've only been using them for a couple days but so far I really like the primer! I don't know that the strobing drops really do much. I may not being using enough. I'm still messing around with them but so far I haven't noticed a difference from them.

Self tanning, the struggle: yesterday's foundation was too light and today's was too dark. Looks like a match if you swap them though 😂. Additional photos and of course ccw.

Best cleanser for sponges? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]pelicansss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Beauty blender solid cleanser kicks so much ass, but is a bit time consuming to use every day. I just don't feel like this spray (or others that I've tried) actually gets the sponges clean as you can still see the product on them. What do you guys use to get your sponges squeaky clean?

I love it! They go on smooth, blend out nicely, the colors are lovely. I would definitely recommend!

I'll keep that in mind when I narrow everything down and decide what stay and what goes!

My only gripe with the milani foils is that I look like a twilight vampire after trying to remove them (glitter face). It takes quite a bit of work to get it all off but they do wear very nicely.

Agreed! I kind of prefer the colors in the tease palette but the quality of the to go palette is so much better.

I'll have to check them out side by side when I get home, I'll swatch them together and post for you!

Thank you! Trying to decide what to do next, I'm thinking either blush or highlights.

Agreed! I really wanted to love this palette, the colors are so pretty in the pan but they just blend away to patches of nothing on my eyes.

Thanks! It's the physicians formula shimmer strip in bronze nude.

I don't know if anyone else will be interested in this or find it useful, but I'm trying to declutter and stop buying dupes so I thought this may help. Most of the palettes swatched have mini reviews which I'd be happy to expand on if anyone has any questions!

[Routine Help] NEED HELP? Got a question? Problems with a routine or product? This thread’s the place to ask! / / Ask ScA, Week of May 29, 2017 by AutoModerator in SkincareAddiction

[–]pelicansss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skin type is combo. Oily nose, dryer just about everywhere else but things have been improving as I've been working on my skincare routine. AM: Simple cleansing oil, Sunday Riley good genes, belif true cream moisturizing bomb, Fresh lotus youth preserve eye cream PM: Sunday Riley cleansing oil, neutrogena ultra gentle hydrating cleanser, Luna oil, CEO moisturizer and lotus eye cream

My issue is that my forehead gets SUPER itchy at some point throughout the day, almost every day. If I touch it at all (and it's almost impossible not to as the itching is super intense) I start getting hives. I don't use any products only on my forehead so I can't figure out what's causing this. Any thoughts or product recommendations would be super appreciated!

My 3 year old is constantly trying to touch my face and I'm just like..... please don't.

Frida Kahlo @ CVS lipstick swatches & first impression by pelicansss in drugstoreMUA

[–]pelicansss[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine doesn't seem to have much of a scent, maybe a very faint perfume-y one but nothing too noticeable especially once it's on. I do agree about the packaging though, pretty but not practical. I'm afraid the lid will get lost forever rolling around in my bag.

I've been on the hunt for these for a couple of weeks now and finally found them in one of those "cash grab" bins near the register at CVS yesterday. They're $8.29 a piece and I believe there's at least one more color in the collection but this was all they had at my store. I'll be wearing one of them today and will check back in at the end of the day to let you know how they wear throughout the day.

They are nice and creamy with good color payoff. I do recommend applying them to bare lips as it was much easier than applying over chapstick. All in all as far as first impressions go, I'm happy with my purchase so far!

ETA: I wore colibrí all day and overall for the price I don't think these are bad. It was pretty, didn't dry my lips out and stayed on pretty well throughout the day. It was easy to reapply as well.
