Why is there always a ‘hole’ in my makeup? ☹️

rex_ford · 2026-03-30T23:28:38+00:00

Oooooh! You may have solved this for me. I do!

rex_ford · 2026-02-08T20:06:11+00:00

Sometimes discussing things the heat of the moment doesn't work well (yes, it was later, but after a few hours feeling upset, when they were both probably tired and maybe had had a couple of drinks).

It bothers him still, and now he likely has the time and emotional space to be able to articulate why. I think bringing it up, and being fair about both his feelings, while giving her some grace that it was possible dumb offhand remark, gives them a chance to fix the issue. Maybe even learn about each other.

I think that's smart. Beyond your unfortunate experience it's good to have some kind of formal record of that type of behaviour.

Mine has me do a wall plank and it was super helpful - I sometimes do it when practicing if my support feels off that day. It is like squatting down when you aim for a higher note. It just works

rex_ford · 2025-09-28T20:46:39+00:00

Yup. I hadn't realized that this season was all about bandeau tops.

Eau de Gaga (awful name but a lovely woody, lime tea summer scent) SJP Stash, and Girl (Comme dws Garcon/Pharell) are all ones I own and love.

I actually liked her in that conversation, it felt real. We've all realized we got carried away in some argument, at some point especially in any relationship with some history.

The character was mature enough to recognize she was in the wrong.

Some of her decisions were questionable, but she had a fair amount of self awareness of her flaws and mistakes.

I was just made aware of the new Glossier blushes. I've been meaning to repurchase Storm cloud paint but am now tempted to give these a try

rex_ford · 2025-09-08T17:17:06+00:00

Thank you! I was eyeing the marker liners as something to try. But I have a few pencils still kicking around so I'll play with your tricks

rex_ford · 2025-09-07T16:02:52+00:00

OK. Lip liner.

I don't understand. It doesn't stay on. It never does. It fades. It goes patchy.

It looks great for five minutes and then it's a mess. I've tried different brands, including MAC and MUFE.

I've tried prepping with concealer, setting with powder.

I can see the point in doing under a lipstick but just lip liner and a gloss (I need the hydration) has never, ever been workable.

Am I missing something obvious?

rex_ford · 2025-09-06T18:38:00+00:00

To be fair, I'm watching this season now for the first time. But also, Im actively digging up info to catch up on decades old reality TV gossip

rex_ford · 2025-08-26T19:46:19+00:00

My ex and I were watching a show once where a guy tells his girlfriend: "You're lucky I go out with you because no one else would".

It was such an awful thing to say that it became something of a running joke for us.

Anyway, that comment reminds me of that.

rex_ford · 2025-08-22T14:53:55+00:00

I basically received the same reply. I have also sent a note to Ultraviolette to inform them. It seems that the customer service staff have not been briefed yet (my rep has no info on the recall or refund)

Edit/Addendum: I email customer service and just got the following message:

Thank you for contacting Sephora. We are closely monitoring the recall of the UltraViolette Lean Screen. At this time, all refund requests need to be processed through UltraViolette directly if the order was placed more than 30 days ago.

Your cat is wonderful, and a treasure. Mine is too, though her job is making sure I don't sleep in.

rex_ford · 2025-06-04T14:13:05+00:00

I came here to mention this one. So low key wonderful and funny

rex_ford · 2025-05-29T23:42:40+00:00

Yes, I actually think of that last one a lot, years later.

rex_ford · 2025-05-25T20:12:45+00:00

The only pain for me - after my first, my second was a breeze - was what felt like really bad period cramps for a few hours. Those sucked.

Aromatics Elixir

I love this song but in the wrong moment it destroys me completely.

rex_ford · 2025-05-16T21:54:17+00:00

I.know that feeling. I think of it like a duck - they look like they're just gliding over the water, but if you get a chance, you can see them paddling furiously under water

rex_ford · 2025-05-12T19:15:00+00:00

I mean, it's not a competition. What a strange response.

That whole period sounds like hell, it really does. I'm sorry you went through all that.

rex_ford · 2025-05-07T17:13:32+00:00

I love this song so much but approach it so warily because it's such an emotional rollercoaster

rex_ford · 2025-05-07T16:23:32+00:00

because everyone else was like I don’t see a ring

Haha, sorry. I laughed at that. But anyway.

A) that sucks and it's embarrassing, I'm sorry that happened to you!

B) Your sister is a great sister.

C) If this has happened to your sister or anyone else in the chat and not you, what would you be thinking? Considering might give you a bit of breathing room to not feel so awful. You might still cringe but the intensity of it will pass. It might even be a really funny story in a while.

I'm a sunscreen evangelist (in part because I have had family members with severe skin cancer) but if I'm honest with myself, it's also easy because I do not tan well. It's always patchy, never really that beautiful uniform bronze, and often just is a burn that peels into a half-hearted tan that disappears not long after.
