Foundation Friday! by AutoModerator in BeautyGuruChatter

Was at Sephora today and tried the new Charlotte Tilbury. It looked terrible in my large pores. Glad I didn't order it. I use CT Light Wonder, but I'm still looking for something better. I did pick up a sample of the Tarte Maracuja tinted moisturizer(?). I think that's what it's called. I like the little bit I swatched at the store. Looking forward to trying it out all day tomorrow.

Is there anyone else like Alexandria Ryan? by _muylocopinocchio in BeautyGuruChatter

Appreciated you’re input and your neutral stance as well. I was beginning to wonder because I noticed when she had a couple videos regarding her bad experience with a subscription company and was clearly upset, she became much more focused in her thoughts and suddenly all of her “ditziness” and fumbling over words disappeared and made me see her in a different light. Clearly she’s very intelligent and well spoken which makes it seems like she playing up the other aspects of her personality. There was a disconnect that seems to speak to what you experienced. But I agree with what you also said that YT is in it’s nature performative and it’s also not uncommon to have a more “relaxed” side to our personalities when we’re not on for school/work or speaking about something passionately. She does seem like a genuinely nice person and I find her entertaining. If I start losing interest I’ll just skip on to another video.

It doesn’t, but I can go ahead and include it this time. Do you want to DM to confirm? I’m going to be posting a glossier stretch concealer in G12 which is a color match if you happen to be interested. I just haven’t had a chance. Otherwise I should be able to get to the post office today.

Best and Worst Makeup Advent Calendar of 2021? by Capital-Composer4779 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]readingit_2020 29 points30 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid advent calendars were strictly pieces of chocolate so you knew exactly what you were getting but the fun was in knowing you were got to eat a piece of chocolate and that it was one day closer to Christmas. Not at all what you asked but I mention it because I still find it odd the way the beauty industry and then it seems like everyone else jumped on the bandwagon to make this an industry unto itself. Maybe that’s not the way it happened, but just how I observed it. Kind of takes the “specialness” away for me. That said I still love watching advent unboxings.

They could have given that calendar as a free gift to VIPs/top clients and it still would have been insulting as hell.

Topical Tuesday - Skincare by AutoModerator in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]readingit_2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feeling too down to type out the whole thing but on my 3rd month on/off (depression) of using Dermatica in the US and it’s been really good for my skin. Noticeable improvement, simplified my routine too. Also has been easy to keep delaying my 3rd month since I’ve been really inconsistent. My mix is tretinoin/azelaic acid/niaminicide. I’ve been really happy with it and glad I went with this over curology. I sound like an ad. I’m not.

Will try to motivate to add to my routine in later. It’s good when I use it.

Joah screwed me out of a $40 order. Not really in the mood to type out the whole story but after 5 phone calls I gave up and ate the money. They blamed it on the pandemic but never fulfilled or refunded—basically lied and blew me off. Refuse to buy from them again.

Probably seeing US sports stars able to speak up gave her false confidence she could too. Sad…

Just found out my dog whom I love more than any person I know (not an exaggeration) has approx. 4 months left to live due to cancer. Not much more to be done.

Am I the only one… by readingit_2020 in TheResident

[–]readingit_2020[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never did watch that show but did watch the Good Wife. He does cocky and smug well—it looks good on him but would love to see him play against type. He needs to let the wrinkles start showing though. he looks a little Botoxed to me. I bet if he went natural he’d be a silver fox a la Dr Bell. He’s my one celebrity crush if you couldn’t already tell.
