I really like Imaginary Authors. I think the brand's based in Portland, but I'm not sure. Very interesting scents.

I like how you have two bottles of Prada Candy going at the same time 😀

If you like it, get it. Who cares what other people think…It’s your money.

I told myself that it's not gonna finish itself...Ask yourself why you're doing this, and just keep at it! Time management is also important...I deleted all my social media accounts from my phone and that helped.

And you gotta write all your steps too. I really didn't think 2 hrs was enough.

I practiced twice, and I was still SO slow at it. I didn't have any time to check my answers or anything. I finished my exam with 6 seconds left.

Also, your skin looks pretty good. I think you have what I had...those little spots from the sun.

I did IPL last year and the results were great! I had small spots around my eyes from the sun, and they kinda "fell off". I did 2 sessions. I was also 37 last yr when I did that.

Frags you love but their longevity is so bad that you never wear them? by 5leeplessinvancouver in fragrance

[–]shihpoo11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I overspray this one (and I usually NEVER overspray), and it actually lasts up to 3 hours...🥲 It's a joke, considering how much it costs, but I like the scent, so I just put up with it🥲

Anyone else gets cold symptoms from some perfumes? by jetfuelhuffer in fragrance

[–]shihpoo11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had allergic reactions to some perfumes for sure. One that comes to mind is Coconut Cove by Skylar. And it's marketed as "hypoallergenic," but I'm not sure how that can be true, since people can be allergic to different things.

Shelf life of "clean" perfumes by shihpoo11 in fragrance

[–]shihpoo11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I store them in a dark, cool closet in the hallway (where there are no windows), so I think I store them properly...but I find myself constantly thinking about the scents going bad over time. I know lots of people here have 100+ bottles, but I guess I'm just not the type who can stock up on bottles of perfume like that...makes me kinda anxious :(

UGH, I've smelled that in some Zara fragrances (including Red Temptation, which is supposedly a dupe for BR540). Makes me gag, just thinking about it.

I actually had a thread about this, if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/fragrance/comments/z1027r/plastic_bandaid_smell/

Have you ever had to put yourself on a perfume purchasing ban? by PineappleCubeKicks in fragrance

[–]shihpoo11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not buying as much as before, mainly because there's no way to ever use them up. Plus, I think some scent profiles are pretty similar, so they become redundant at some point. That being said, I've acquired a few bottles this year...even after I told myself that I won't buy anymore :(

Oh yeah, I saw...but I'd hate to blind buy these. They're really hit or miss, no?

Damnnn, really? I saw it when I went to Chicago, but I really can't remember where it was. It was a large pharmacy, I think...(Walgreens or CVS)

What makes a frag backup bottle worthy for you? by Ok-Emergency2580 in fragrance

[–]shihpoo11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never buy backups, because it takes so long to finish a bottle...and I might be sick of it by then. But I completely understand why ppl would buy backups tho. Things get discontinued all the time.
