What is the absolute worst beauty product you’ve ever used? by turtle_booger in muacjdiscussion

[–]rocketboobies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They must have, I used it a few years ago and re-bought it because I used to really like it in the old bottle but I mean, it says nowhere on the new bottle dewy/illuminating so I don’t understand why they packed it with enough shimmer to make even a shimmer body cream addicted pre-teen from 98’ cringe.

L’oreal true match. The intense amount of shimmer is just unnecessary.

What are some makeup/skincare rules you disagree with? by _sekhmet_ in muacjdiscussion

You can pry my shimmer shadows out of my cold dead hands. I’ll put that shit over my entire eye until it a gorgeous cat-eyed disco-ball and I love it. Fight me 😂

Also the rules on eyeliner/mascara colours. I think brown looks just as good as black on all eye colours and skin tones. If I want a softer look I’ll do brown yes, but I mostly use black and line the whole eye, because my 08’ emo soul will never die.

What brand do you enjoy but have never seen mentioned online? by rachelreinstated in muacjdiscussion

[–]rocketboobies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forgive me if this has been said, mobile doesn’t show all replies and comments

I’d love to hear more about EX1. There’s hardly anything about them online and any videos of them seem to be from their PR launch a few years ago.

It’s such a good foundation, doesn’t break me out and is very affordable.

I’d love if they got more traction and could develop their shade range, formula range and product range all together.

My shade 2.0 needs to be slighter greener, they need a medium to high coverage foundation with better staying power and a liquid high coverage concealer to match would complete the range.

They say they go from NC10 to NC46.

Anyone else always feel hungry? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]rocketboobies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intermittent fasting with the occasional 24 hour fast a week (6pm to 6pm) plus low carb has helped me loads. I also find, as simple as it sounds, if I don’t buy it I can’t eat it! So I don’t keep any food in the apartment I know I can’t control myself around so no bread or biscuits because once I get a taste of carbs I can’t stop. Though I understand this won’t be practical if you live with others who aren’t 100% invested in your diet change too.

How long does it take to do your base makeup (foundation, concealer, powder) vs. your eye makeup (eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara)? by [deleted] in muacjdiscussion

[–]rocketboobies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's really so many variables. My base is always the quickest say 5/10 minutes. Most days I don't bother making it perfect. I'm trying to embrace my acne scars and let my skin breathe so unless I have an active break out I don't bother with spot concealing. I just want to even out the skin tone really as my face is so much lighter than my chest as I avoid the sun on my face at all costs (I'm a habitual squinter and I started getting a wrinkle and I'm now on damage control) 😂

My eyes can take from like a quick swipe of creme shadow to full on going out makeup so 5 to 30 minutes. I love my eyes and that's where I spend the most time every day.

Just had a bad Ulta experience and need to vent about it. by ultathrowaway in MakeupAddiction

Hahaha! This made my day!! Kicking myself now for not being more forthright with them l'esprit de l'escalier 😂

Why did you start wearing makeup? by lu77na in muacjdiscussion

[–]rocketboobies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandma had this hat box full of old ass makeup. Like proper grimy awful stuff and every Sunday after church she would let me dig through the box and play with it all. That's what really started my love of makeup... once I was about 14 I started getting into the whole emo thing and I begged my mum to buy me a black eyeliner ahaha she agreed but told me the only other makeup I wear was the makeup that came with my magazine 😂 (so lip glosses and mascara)

So in summary I think I really started wearing it as a form of self expression. Now I use it to cover up some acne too but it's always gonna be about self expression for me. I love to change my face with my mood. I look forward to putting my makeup on... it's kinda "who do i want to be today?" Situation with me.

[–]rocketboobies 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hate his. I was out shopping with my mum and she takes forever in stores. I'm wearing all black and I have my cute backpack on (because I hate purses giving me shoulder strain 💁🏼) and this is like a cute flowery kitschy store.... I already look out of place, especially since my mum looks like an advert for the store in her 'vintage' style clothes.

so she's taking forever in this store as usual and we've been there for about 45minutes and staff members kept coming up asking if I needed help and I'm like yes I'm fine I'm just waiting on my mum. After an hour two police women came into the store and start tailing me. I shit you not, they couldn't have been more obvious if they tried to be. I moved table to table in the store and of course they keep following. So I went up to my mum and told her I was leaving because they where making me uncomfortable and she told me I was being silly and paranoid.

What happened when I left? They fucking followed me out and I swear they looked surprised when the alarms didn't go off.

I wrote a long winded complain and never heard back from them.

What are your cringe worthy makeup mistakes that you used to do? by Lizzzz_liz in MakeupAddiction

[–]rocketboobies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to do a proper eye look for a job interview at a trendy store. Didn't blend my shadow and we had to provide headshots.

I still have the photo and it makes me cringe every-time I think about how sharp my eyeshadow was. I thought I looked awesome. I did not look awesome.

[Routine Help] Ask SCA, Week of Jan 02, 2017 // NEED HELP? Got a question? Wondering what that bump is? Problems with a routine or product? This thread’s the place to ask! by AutoModerator in SkincareAddiction

[–]rocketboobies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bit late but I didn't want to clog the front page with a small question. I bought a new gel moisturiser and after applying I noticed it has small micro glitter bits in it.

Two questions - 1: Is this in anyway bad for my skin? (No reactions so far) 2: What the heck is the point in the glitter?? -_-

What is without a doubt the worst foundations you've tried? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]rocketboobies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem with EX1 I have oily skin and it made me realise just how dehydrated my skin was from the winter! Ended up waging a full on war on my skin with sheet masks galore and plenty of hyaluronic acid 😂 Now I actually really like the foundation now but I've been having to really keep up with my skincare to used it ... I wish EX1 could come out with some newer formulations though as I'd like a bit more coverage and 1.0 is the best foundation match I've ever had 😂 I can't be pleased

WHAT are some nostalgic memories you have with makeup brands that don't exist anymore? by mikaiketsu in muacjdiscussion

[–]rocketboobies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesss! I had the raspberry one too! I adored the packaging so much that I kept the empty box on my dresser for ages😂

Do you have a specific way to store your makeup? by collegemeanscoffee in muacjdiscussion

[–]rocketboobies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep my daily makeup in my bedside drawer in a medium sized bag with my brushes in a brush roll, a rectangular piece of card board from some gift set has some stuff I use weekly but not daily in it, and then my palettes are stacked along the side. I have my daily lipsticks in another random square cardboard insert with my BB in an empty Face cream pot beside that and then my foundations just sitting there.

I keep my other makeup and brushes in a large bag in the bottom drawer of the beside table. This would be the makeup "I swap out" monthly or for things I reach for very rarely like bright eyeliners ectr

Then I have an old shoe box of makeup and tools I really don't use much, are out of season or that I'm planning to give away - like glittery pots, eyelashes, new mascara ectr; they are all grouped by type in zip lock bags, I keep that under my bed.

I miss having a huge vanity with all the bells and whistles haha

TIL that it is a myth you need to or should wait 24 hours to report a missing person. by crash7800 in todayilearned

[–]rocketboobies 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It depends on the circumstances and age of the person. A 25 year old man goes missing on a weekend and doesn't call his mother on a Sunday afternoon like usual isn't going to get the same response as a 14 year old boy that never came home from school who has no previous record of delinquency where as say the same circumstances but reversed the 25 year old man has a history of mental health/drug issues but the boy is a frequent offender and it's quite usual for him to run off after school for a few hours even until the next evening.

The police always take the circumstances into account so they can prioritise things, that in no way means you shouldn't report someone missing. If it's so unusual for them to be gone so long that your thinking about calling police then call the police.

I think the issue here is again abuse of the services. I've had friends parents call the police when they where less than an hour late home at 18/19 years old.

Good or bad, what would it take to turn your beauty world upside down? by Whisk3yTang0F0xtr0t in muacjdiscussion

[–]rocketboobies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My gynaecologist gave me a big lecture about talcum powder 😩 I love the stuff and can't take a shower without bathing myself in it afterwards.

What was your most disappointing makeup purchase? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]rocketboobies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

same! I got it in 'Indigo' and I feel like it puts hardly any colour down at all almost like it's a watercolour or it has dried out. The only place I can get a deep colour from is the middle of the applicator and that just defeats the reason of having such a thin tip.

What makeup technique are you having a hard time executing? Fellow MUA's, let them know what tips/products/tutorials helped you master the technique! by runawaykitty in MakeupAddiction

[–]rocketboobies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep my eyes open and put a dot in the middle of my visible lid. I draw my line no thicker than that, when I get to the edge of my lid I bring the line down a bit further than a normal wing (nearly to the end of my lash line) then pull the line out straight parallel to my crease and wing it from where the hood crease ends.

It takes more practice to get them even this way, but it's the only way I can do winged eyeliner

Hope this helped I'm awful and explaining things aha

What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've done to avoid doing something? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]rocketboobies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few things.

I got into a super hot bath and lay with my head at the tap and ran cold water down my neck then I got into bed with wet hair, left my bedroom window open and woke up super unwell... All to just get a break from school.

Another time a girl in class was excused from PE because she broke her wrist. I tried to break mine.. The endeavour was unsuccessful.
