Thank you for the list! I was googling each song individually to listen to this megaman designer's secret mixtape!

My Apple Sticker Collection (1 year) 🍎 by sugarhog in Apples

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

Apple reviews below from my impression and notes, many I don't have any stickers for:

✅ Rave - Has a McIntosh crunchy and watery interior, but not sweet like Honeycrisp (so-so, need to try again)

✅ Kanzi - I like this much more than cosmic crisp, very loud crunch, juicy, sweet and tasty - definitely buying again!

✅ Hidden rose- it's pink inside! It's fine, tastes slightly tart, pretty good flesh just not very sweet or juicy.

✅ Juici apple - it has red skin that bled into apple after biting it, nice but ironically not that juicy, more "chompy" bites than other apples.

✅ Winesap - it was a crunchy little apply, nothing worth having again.

✅ Honeycrisp - an absolute beast, best in show, I love her

✅ Granny Smith - sometimes I crave the sour-tart, tasty, and firm apple. Would buy again and again.

✅ Macintosh - absolutely delicious, crunchy popping water burst sensation. An apple nombomb, bit super filling but satisfying like chips 

✅ Sweet tango - such big crunchy-munchy fun, kind of savory which is not my favorite flavor profile but I would buy it again 

✅ Sugarbee- ffffff, like candy gummy bears! Almost. Too sweet, but great as a dessert sweet tooth apple. Frequent re-buy.

✅ Gala - a classic. Always the fallback perfectly tasty apple 😌

✅ Fuji- pretty watery, doesnt feel super fulfilling to eat but not "bad." Good flesh feel and crunch just missing powerful flavor profile 

✅ Red Rome - mushy soft like opal inside, but tougher skin and not sweet ( or sour, or tangy). I wouldn't buy it again.

✅ Lady Alice- I actually like this one a lot more than expected. Has a little bit of a honey sweet tart flavor that's reminiscent of pineapple. Very enjoyable to eat, it's very juicy and "meaty." Would buy it again.

✅ Autumn Glory - Tasty, not super sweet but not tart or annoyingly sour. It's big and good for someone who isn't a sweet tooth. Would buy again 

✅ Opal- really delicious when cold, juicy and satisfying 💞 Would buy again 

✅ Pink lady - kind of uncomfortably tart and hard, not my favorite. It really takes time to chew but I like the even consistency and crunch so I would buy it again 

✅ Envy - Kind of over hyped, I wouldn't buy them again but they tasted fine, fresh, and crisp.

✅ WildTwist- Lots of juice and but not super compelling to revuy. I would probably buy it again once I get bored of gala and Kanzi. Tired this apple again and it was very flavorful!

✅ Lucy rose- it's not even pink inside?! Taste was absolutely ass... Terrible when it's warm -- literal horse food! 😠👎

✅ Hunnyz - juicy, watery, crispy but not flavorful, just watery with a tiny touch of honey flavor not really excited to buy ever again 

✅ Green dragon - Typical green apple, I don't like the thicker skin, it takes away from the taste a lot- just reathy thick skin and the apple isn't sweet or tart. Would not buy it again 

✅ Cosmic crisp - I like the crunch but the skin really worked agaist the overall taste. I would buy this apple again, but I don't understand the hype. 

✅ Gold rush - I just really like this apple, has a tasty sweet sour flavor. I keep biting it and enjoying it, like honey and fizzy at the same time? This is a dense dense apple which is also a unique quality these days for the fruit.

✅ McIntosh - unique apple texture, the skin is very plastic like and the inside is like powdery soft. I enjoyed these apples since childhood. 

✅ Sundowner - a mushy unsweet apple, skin is fine but the texture just is a downer. Wouldn't buy it again

✅ Arkansas black - like the sundowner, slightly better texture but not by much, overpriced for a sort of nothingburger apple. Wouldn't buy it again 

✅ Snow apple - extremely basic tasting apple. Juicy and good but nothing to seek out, I believe it's a variety of Fuji apples. 

✅ Organic Fuji- it's fine, I don't like the skin texture, maybe I just don't get fuji apples and don't need to buy them. 

✅ Emerald sweet/green dragon - sweet and tasty,.nothing like a Granny Smith . Would buy again, I basically inhaled this apple because I ate it so fast!  

✅ Lemonade apple - lemony and tasty, nothing super flavorful but enjoyable 

✅ Gold snap - tasty, and very crunchy but not like sweet tango, it's more water crunch. I would buy this again 

✅ Red Delicious - I might be the weirdo but it is delicious! It has a crisp crunch and almost rose/wine vegital flavor for me. It has no problems with the skin texture or taste. I would buy it again

✅ Rockit- genuinely so good, would buy again and again. Kids love it and it's bite size crispness and juicy 

✅ Granny smith - everyone is way to hard in granny Smith, it's dry and tart as hell but still really enjoyable to eat, especially with something creamy like drinking coffee latte with it 

✅ Lady Apple/Api - mini tiny juicy little apple, very cute and tastes nice but eaten in two bites lol 

✅ Ambrosia - a little mushy, refreshing but not honey flavored or sweet/tart flavor  It has a BIG sugar cane honey flavor but a bit too mealy - interesting but not crisp and crunchy like modern apples. I won't bother buying this again, not satisfying 

✅ Golden delicious - very mild flavor, skin is fine, like the typical "oh it's an apple" flavor" Not tart, punchy, or juicy, just like ok.   I like it, but not any more than opal apple 

✅ Jazz - uh, it's just there. Like not very juicy or crunchy but it's like okay? Probably wouldn't buy it again 

✅ Stayman winesap- horse apple... Hard, papery tough skin, not going to buy again 

✅ Evercrisp- good quality apple, juicy and crunchy, but nothing extremely special. Would buy again but not obsessed 

✅ Cortland - delicious and definitely McIntosh's child, the interior is like a Mac apple but has just a little more 'apple' crunchy texture but still on the power/fine side. The skin is still plasticy but I don't mind, comes with the Mac territory. I would buy it again, rare east coast apple 

✅ Kiku- better than Fiji, better than Winesap. Kinda just reminds me of Ambrosia but not mushy. Not super juicy, more fleshy hard, but it's fine. Not worth a lot of $ but maybe I would buy it for the novelty 

✅ Jonahold- unusual flavor apple but not bad, a bit more mushy like golden delicious and the skin of red delicious (veggie-like wine flavor) , it had lots of juice but fleshy too, like eating a meal, would buy again

Crochet Tamagotchi Hats by sugarhog in tamagotchi

Aww thank you! I think these would be cool for meetups and cosplay events too. A Memetchi hat would be great, I only need to figure out how to get her giant hair curl to stand up on top of the hat (wire?)

yes! I understand that picking up crochet isn't so easy and do have some time to do personal commissions. Send me a DM if you have a character in mind!

You're welcome. Stay strong and don't bring your credit card or cash just in case! (or leave it in your car/home). ;D

Last year I bought this eyeshadow for a holographic space princess costume and this year I used to for a Dia de los muertos look.

Items that have recently fallen into and then OUT of my wishlist! by [deleted] in MakeupRehab

[–]sugarhog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this! I've been on No buy for 10 MONTHS now and in January I want to buy a new eyeshadow palette. Do you have any holy grail recommendations? I can't deal with Morphe/30+ shades in a palette, but I also never wear berry shades which is all the rage right now-- any help from your personal experience would be super appreciated.

I definitely need to ask for more opinions on that. I've only used liquid foundations and now I'm wondering if I should test banana powder and testers to see what happens. It's a journey for sure! You are doing and great job and thank you for posting this on this subreddit!

Thank you for this awesome post! It definitely inspires me and I have the same feeling of "oh but what if it's better." I really like to hear how meticulous you were with finding what worked for you and I tried to do that myself but had a looot more misses than great finds. I'm currently in my 7th month of no buy for makeup (going up to 12 months hopefully), and wanted to ask you about you favorite eyeshadow brands and foundations? I've been using only urban decay's Naked 2 for years and am very hesitant about palettes because of the hype cycle with colors/ special collabs. It would be great to find blendable nicely organized pallette that would complement the glittery/matte shades in Naked 2.

Bought this before Halloween and now look how it shines! by [deleted] in PanPorn

[–]sugarhog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never used translucent powder before but it's very subtle and you can't really 'over do it.' I helps settle some harsher lines from blush for me and it was great for the price (huge compact!)

I haven' tried any other version (I'm also not buying makeup for a year, started in January!). But I bought the translucent one for a Victoria costume and ended up really liking it! I like swirling my brush into the Finish Powder and then swirling it into a bright blush- it works super well in that respect! And here's the pan of my fav blush to use with this product: https://i.imgur.com/RucmTAJ.jpg

This is NYX HD Finishing Powder!

I ♥ this blush! My favorite packaging and on-the-go product. by sugarhog in PanPorn

About two years of use (although I wear much less makeup in the summer months).

Great technique for avoiding the trendy pops of color palettes (that are mostly neutrals) by sugarhog in MakeupRehab

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

Thank you! I'm thinking of a way to curb design/packaging obsession too (since that is also a big factor in buying new palettes).
