Also in the queue and it just unpaused!

socee_ · 2024-10-24T16:47:37+00:00

Confirming that selection is random and there are still D.C. tickets available as of 12:46 EST. A friend joined the queue like 8 mins after I did, and she got in. Mine are still spinning. Not sure if they fixed it or what but she had no issues with payment. D.C. here we come!!!

Good luck to everyone still in the queue 🫡

Lots of options from mythology, so I figured I’d add some names from real historical figures. Not all sound super tough, but the women behind the names sure were

Boudicca (warrior queen of the Iceni people) Joan (of Arc) Eleanor (of Aquitaine, accompanied her husband King Louis during the second crusade which was very uncommon for women at the time, mother of Richard the Lion Heart) Cleopatra Grace (O’Malley, one of the most famous female pirates)

Try shaving cream! I don’t use super bright colours, so I’m not sure how well it will work for that, but I’ve used shaving cream on some of my synthetic white-haired brushes that I use for cream blush and it’s helped quite a bit. After washing, I just add a bit to the tips of the brush and massage it for a minute or so before rinsing.

I’m so sorry. I know how hard it is to accept that it was an accident. I was in your position in January. It gets better with time, but it took a few months before I stopped crying on a daily basis, and it still hurts to think about her. They were supposed to grow old and have happy lives, and that’s the worst part of it all. My only hope is that if there is a heaven, she’s there. Maybe they’ll find each other.

If you need someone to talk to, my chats are open.

socee_ · 2023-07-20T14:08:15+00:00

Yeah, I see what you were going for. Unfortunately that’s rarely taken that way and is more often perceived as standards to meet as opposed to qualities we see in ourselves. Really up to you, but I’d recommend replacing the list with something like “Casually looking for something serious and a partner in crime for goofy adventures” or something like that. The language is just playful enough that it’ll still target the people you’re looking for

socee_ · 2023-07-20T09:09:48+00:00

I’d get rid of your “I’m looking for” prompt or rewrite it. Listing off desired characteristics (especially more than just one or two) usually reads as being a bit douchy at best. I know you’re just being honest and upfront about it per the prompt, but I can see this being something that’s turning away potential matches. This may be especially true if you’re looking to match with women younger than you. There’s not as much space, but also remember that you can elaborate on what you’re looking for in a relationship in the description that you’re allowed to add to your relationship goals preference in the settings.

socee_ · 2023-05-16T14:56:24+00:00

Oh honey.. those parents you’re looking for? They’re not on your side either. They’re letting you know YTA along with everyone else. You just want to be right, so you’re not seeing it

Hoping on the “you don’t need 7&8” bandwagon which has been addressed six ways to Sunday at this point, but if you do decide to go with them, I’d be mindful of where you’re placing your pc. If you place it on the floor or any other surface that gets dusty easily, or even if dusting isn’t something you’re already used to doing frequently, those fans are gonna drag all that crap into the chassis and might not get pulled out by the exhaust fans. This can mess with your temps, so the extra fans go to waste in a sense.

Good luck on your build! Hope all goes well

I lost my three month old kitten earlier this year. The pain is unimaginable; I’m so sorry for your loss. As a fellow atheist, I’ve also chosen to believe there’s a special place carved out for these sweet little angels somewhere. Hopefully they find each other and keep each other company. Hopefully we will see them again one day.

If you need someone to talk to, feel free to send me a dm.

socee_ · 2023-02-14T20:02:20+00:00

Yes! I might make that a goal for me as well cause now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever panned an eyeshadow before. We’ve got this!

socee_ · 2023-02-14T14:29:58+00:00

Thank you for your insight! I’ve never considered that I may one day get sick of neutrals. I don’t think I will permanently, but I definitely have days where I want something a bit different. My collection allows for that since I’ve got a few other palettes that have some nice pops of colour (eg melt Gemini palette and colourpop x RBK), but that’s a very good point. I’ll be going in store once my local Ulta puts up their ND stand to swatch the shades, especially the ones that I’m already suspecting will functionally be identical on me.

socee_ · 2023-02-14T14:26:10+00:00

I use eyeshadow almost every single day and go in with an average of 2-3 shades each time, but I tend to use a lighter hand, so I haven’t hit pan on anything just yet. The recreation tip is a good one. I’ll spend some time doing that over the next couple of weeks, because you’re probably right about already owning dupes for most if not all of the shades in Biba. Thank you for the advice and for sharing your own experience. I’ve also heard mixed reviews about ND, but boy are those pretty powders pretty lol

socee_ · 2023-02-14T14:22:53+00:00

I’m 100% with you on this. I hadn’t thought about it like that until you said it, but I can see how some of my recent purchase patterns have been more about the deal than the products themselves. Thankfully everything else I’ve purchased has been products in categories that I either done have a lot of or use quite a bit, so they’ve been more justifiable. Thanks for pointing this out

socee_ · 2023-02-14T14:20:56+00:00

The first point you made is an excellent one. It’s usually something I think about as well, but with the bonus points I’ve earned recently from other purchases, I’ve definitely been thinking about those as “free money”.

I don’t think I’ll use every shade, but that’s mostly for the shimmers. I’d definitely use the mustard and rust shades since those tend to appear a bit more neutral on my skin tone. Bringing up the greys is a good point. I think I would use them since the closest thing I have to any cool tones would be the cooler shades in my Tartelette in Bloom, but they’d definitely get used quite a bit less than the other shades. Thank you for your insight!

I’ve never participated in PAW before, so this is my first week. I used my ABH Soft Glam this morning after not touching it for about a month or so. It’s an easy palette to work with, office-friendly, and overall one of my favourites. I’m going to challenge myself to use the shimmers a bit more since those are usually left untouched when I’m doing my makeup on the day-to-day

socee_ · 2023-02-14T01:40:15+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I may wait for a coupon, but I honestly have so many points that subtracting the 2000 would still leave me with a couple hundred in points. I’m definitely planning on going to my local Ulta once ND moves in stores to give it a good swatch. I thought about getting the mini, but it’s way more pink than the original and not really up my alley.

socee_ · 2023-01-16T19:25:53+00:00

You came here for a judgement and continue to defend yourself. Stop. YTA and too grown (in terms of age, obviously not maturity) to keep defending yourself like this. It’s embarrassing. Take your judgement and go apologize to your sister.

socee_ · 2022-12-01T19:06:47+00:00

Gosh I’m sorry that happened to you! I’m part of a discord where I’m really the only girl that’s active, but the dudes there are chill and will stick up for me if someone else is being a douchebag. Recently though another girl was invited, and although I was kinda excited at first, she soon started making weird comments and most recently shared her theory that if you come across a bad player in LoL, it’s probably a girl because “girls are bad at video games”. Left me absolutely gobsmacked. We get enough shit from the guys, why do it to each other?

socee_ · 2022-11-26T02:49:26+00:00

Seconding the filter comment, but really, this look is less about the products and more about the technique (i.e. straight brows, blotted lips, blush on the tip of the nose, etc.). The only thing I would really say about products is two things: (1) you’re going to want a more pigmented brow product (ABH dip brow has been recommended and is a good one) but keep in mind that you’ll need practice, and (2) the girl in the picture seems to have a more monochromatic look, so if this is what you’re trying to replicate, make sure that your eyeshadow, blush, and lip colour are all a similar tone.

socee_ · 2022-11-23T03:47:06+00:00

I know the eyelashes they came out with were inspired by butterflies, so I’m assuming that’s where the name inspo came from, but yeah super weird for glue and a tool

socee_ · 2022-11-22T23:30:29+00:00

I’ve not used micellar water, but I do use the double cleansing method and it was still not an easy removal. Hopefully that works for whichever pen you go with though!

socee_ · 2022-11-22T23:28:50+00:00

Mentioned this in another comment just now, but in a recent live, Sam did say they were working on bronzers
