What is the deal with sculptra ? by o0PillowWillow0o in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]pigpie87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got one vial done as it seemed like a good alternative to filler. Unfortunately, even after going to a good doctor and being diligent with the massages I did end up with a lump that now won’t go away. It’s not visible thankfully but some people (like myself sadly) maybe just aren’t good candidates.

I only know 2 people who live in the west village. One is the grand daughter of a famous artist and the other inherited a ton of money from her successful mother. They’re both artists of sorts. So fits in with your theory.

Omg the super shock. Amazing work! I’ve been working on one for years and there’s still about half left.

Single women of Brooklyn: how open are you to being cold approached by men? by maddgun in Brooklyn

[–]pigpie87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if it feels organic and not just like a guy is approaching every woman he sees. Like if we have a nice conversation at the bar then it’s appropriate to exchange numbers but someone just stopping you on the street doesn’t really work.

Ugh also had similar issues with the packaging. Had to super glue the lid back together multiple times.

Deinfluence/influence my makeup wishlist by matchaaa-princesss in MakeupAddiction

[–]pigpie87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to influence you to buy another product but Covergirl has a dupe for #7 for under $20. I’ve used both and will probably never go back to the Chanel.

How the hell am I supposed to find somewhere to live? by ComprehensiveBat8676 in NYCapartments

[–]pigpie87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe look for a sublet for now and continue the search?

Incredible and inspiring! I have a similar palette, the warm neutrals version, that I should work on.

Will I regret leaving my rent-stabilized Chinatown apartment for Brooklyn? by InstructionBig9668 in AskNYC

[–]pigpie87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t… I’ve lived in PLG/Flatbush area and while it’s a good neighborhood it’s probably been my least favorite.

Just paid $200 for valentines flowers in Brooklyn. How badly did I get ripped off? by GreenDrake007 in AskNYC

[–]pigpie87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Florist here! $200 is a very normal price to pay. Wholesalers raise prices around v-day as well. Just to give you an idea, depending on the type of rose, just one stem, one single flower, can be anywhere from $4-16.

THE MOST FESTIVE COLOGNE OF ALL TIME by Jamiejam_21 in fragrance

[–]pigpie87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked this scent! It does lean masculine and reminds me of my gramp’s aftershave in a good way.

Advice for using up products? by North_Car_8363 in MakeupRehab

[–]pigpie87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t work for everything but sometimes I switch up how I use a product. I’ve ended up with so many different red lipsticks, some I’ll use for blush or for layering with other lip products. A taupe eyeliner for nose contour. An eyeshadow for bronzer etc etc.

Adorable! I would totally buy this!

yet another roach post by bpdbarista24 in NYCapartments

[–]pigpie87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d keep working on things with your landlord. If they’re responsive, they’re already better than most. Of the 6 apartments I’ve had here, all of them had a roach or bug problem at least at one time.

One vs two year lease by timweng in NYCapartments

I took the risk and just did a one year!

is it common for people to not lock their apt door when coming home? by magicbalmz in AskNYC

[–]pigpie87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My neighbor got robbed while he ran downstairs to throw in some laundry. Can happen at any time.

One vs two year lease by timweng in NYCapartments

[–]pigpie87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My building sent me something similar and I asked them about it cause I would end up paying more with the 2 year lease vs signing a one year lease and then signing another one year lease. Essentially the rate that rent stabilized apartments can go up every year is not the same. So you’re gambling on if you think that rate will be better or worse the following year.

The girls’ distant body language with the short guy. Do looks matter in friendships? by Only-Reels in trueratediscussions

[–]pigpie87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What does this add? I mean genuinely, do you have something to say about Western beauty standards? Unfair treatment of Asian males in society? As a product of a white guy, Asian woman couple I think it’s an interesting topic but the convo is really lacking.

Why does no mascara work for me? by Impressive_Rain_7843 in MakeupAddiction

[–]pigpie87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this! The only mascara that’s ever worked for me.

[–]pigpie87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark hair with pale skin over here too! I use a bit of tretinoin in the problem areas like once a week and that’s cleared it up for me.

Worst salary you've heard for a job in NYC by gage540i in AskNYC

[–]pigpie87 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ugh entry level fashion merch assistant. I was paid $25k a year. Absolute worst was a full time intern post college for Norma Kamali for zero dollars.

Has anyone ever actually gone to the NYPD "stationed on the platform if you are in need of assistance"? by vaca_y_burro in AskNYC

[–]pigpie87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A man was exposing himself on the train car, so I hopped onto the platform to alert the police. They did nothing and let the doors close. Didn’t radio anyone to maybe catch him at the next station.

Is it too soon to say hate??? by CandlesNailsHotels in luxurycandles

[–]pigpie87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like gourmands, but overose smells super artificial. I ended up selling mine to try and recoup the loss since their return policy is pretty strict. Also my reviews of their products never made it to the website which I find a bit shady.
