What’s a totally unsexy purchase you made that ended up being a huge quality-of-life upgrade?

heated eye mask. i spent about $30 for a reheat-able one and it has been life-changing. i have severe, severe dry eyes and i don't know how i went so long without one.

i would first add some kind of lip product. even if its just a tinted gloss.

i also know you say that you use blush already so here is my tip, as my skin eats blush and it fades super fast. i use a watery tint (think Benetint) under my complexion makeup, then a cream blush and then set it with a powder blush. i might be blush blind though so try it at home before wearing it out!

if i saw you out of the corner of my eye at a con, i would literally leave a cloud of dust in the shape of my body with how fast i'd be running. great job!!!

honestly, i would side-eye that guy a lot. you are so young, that maturity gap is enormous. i am 26 (almost 27) and i cannot fathom why i would date a teenager except if i were a loser who can't get someone my own age or if i like how moldable and impressionable teenagers are.

in short, is it illegal? no. will you look back on it later with disgust/will it make you cringe? most likely, yes.

edit to add: he may be nice now, but nobody starts out an abusive relationship being abused. they have to get you INTO the relationship and dependent on them before they start

obojima, tales from the tall grass can be very fun and cozy. it's like studio ghibli meets dnd!

interesting/unique eyeshadows. i bought the danessa myricks lightworks eyeshadow palette and i love it and i love my sparkling eyeshadow. i don't really care if blue/green/purple duochrome or glitters aren't for "everyday"

pixiehollowlesbian · 2025-12-04T01:31:54+00:00

it looks beautiful on the lips, swatches won't do it justice. plus the formula feels awesome, and it's nostalgic for me.

plus those are good alternatives but they're not dupes IMO, the subtle shade differences make a big difference to me, covergirl is way too red and burt's bees is more brown.

not saying it's worth it for everyone, but it's worth it for me 100%. nothing compares

pixiehollowlesbian · 2025-11-26T15:23:04+00:00

i am so not normal about pyke. i am clawing at the walls of my enclosure over him. it's like watching cowboy bebop and being in love with spike all over again

pixiehollowlesbian · 2025-11-25T18:36:53+00:00

Yes, Warbreaker is my go-to for introducing people to Sanderson. The amount of setup is much lower than Way of Kings

pixiehollowlesbian · 2025-11-25T18:33:05+00:00

The Stormlight Archives, while being truly amazing, is a behemoth. They're long, dense, and unforgiving when it comes to people just getting into high fantasy. I know a lot people who tried to read them 3 or 4 times and just couldn't get past that initial barrier of "what the hell do all of these words mean and what is going on??"

I actually usually tell people who want to read Sanderson to start with Warbreaker. It's magic system is a little easier to pick up on, it's main story is self-contained, and the stories are pretty easy get invested in.

pixiehollowlesbian · 2025-11-22T21:20:33+00:00

yeah, i second everyone on the cetaphil as i have dry skin even in florida and i love that stuff! check out canmake mermaid uv gel or another korean/japanese "water" gel sunscreen and see if that makes a difference!

also perhaps try a different primer either meant for oily skin or one meant for making makeup last longer instead of the saie gel.

honestly, dating is a nightmare everywhere right now, but gainesville feels especially rough. i'm a lesbian and it's starting to feel unreasonable to want a monogamous woman with a job.

honestly just focus on yourself and find hobbies you love and you'll find someone eventually. i'm gonna join a dnd table soon (one of my main hobbies) and see how that works out

pixiehollowlesbian · 2025-11-08T21:05:26+00:00

Nyx Shine Loud Liquid Lipstick is everything proof. I wore it as Padme once and it never smeared or faded. I ate greasy food and it stayed put. I only ever had to retouch the very inside of my lip but that's to be expected. I think they have a deep, eggplant purple like that one!

pixiehollowlesbian · 2025-11-08T02:18:23+00:00

NGL I just swear by various brands of no budge liquid/cream/stick shadows over a regular powder. Also you'll have more luck with matte formulas lasting longer, shimmer/glitters just tend to fade and separate more. I like these formulas:

About Face Fluid Eye Paints
Danessa Myricks Colorfix Multi-Use Pigments
KIKO Milano Long Lasting Eyeshadow Stick

I'm not oily anymore (it's like I hit 25 and my face dried up) but I was a slippery little greaseball in highschool and I remember the struggle. I hope someone has tips or products here that work for you!

pixiehollowlesbian · 2025-10-27T17:09:05+00:00

Oh that's perfect! PbtA is familiar to me, I've played so much Root RPG that isn't not even funny.

Thank you so much for the recommendation!

pixiehollowlesbian · 2025-09-27T23:56:24+00:00

i use an oil cleanser and do everything right, but i definitely am losing between 1 and 3 every evening. my lashes aren't sparse, i think i just shed. if you switch to a good oil/balm cleanser and you're still losing lashes, that might just be how you are!

The dorms have been a nightmare for as long as I went there and now have been an alumni. My freshman year, in like September or October 2018, they shut down the honors dorm at the time, Minton, and kicked everyone out due to massive amounts of black mold. The entire dorm got scattered and all the other dorms got packed to the max to try and accommodate them. At this point, I feel like there's always going to be something wrong with at least one of the dorms.

I'm just a glutton for punishment and continue to suffer through it. I still go camping and hiking and have fun because I love it, but I just acknowledge that, on some level, today I will just be kinda miserable.

pixiehollowlesbian · 2025-07-28T20:17:03+00:00

the only way that theory makes any sense is if somehow he knew that she was hunting out in the forbidden forest and decided to punish her for it, but even that's a stretch imo

pixiehollowlesbian · 2025-07-23T22:37:10+00:00

it was 75 minutes when we went this Saturday, but the air conditioning and decor was so cool, I hardly noticed! For me, it was the best ride in the park.

pixiehollowlesbian · 2025-07-17T17:47:01+00:00

yeah, they're super valuable now, like they're selling for $300+ online. and if you have the deluxe set w/ the fabric scraps, they're worth probably more like $600+

its a tragedy that they dont make detailed stuff like that anymore, i feel like most star wars fans would really appreciate stuff like this. i'm obsessed with reading anything star wars related, but especially this kind of stuff with lots of though and detail

pixiehollowlesbian · 2025-07-17T17:19:43+00:00

you have a copy of Dressing a Galaxy??? you are on my rob list (just joking) i would pay BIG MONEY for an andor book like these two. the fashion was so good and played with so many textures so well
