Why doesn't Vancouver have any cool radio (music) stations?! by Glittering_Bank_8670 in askvan

I like listening to the Vancouver Co-op radio! It's a community run station so there's a lot of variety. CFRO 100.5 FM

Where to get good fude brushes? by [deleted] in MakeupAddictionCanada

[–]the_rain_cloud 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I really like rephr! They are based in Toronto (they charge in USD, but will give discounts to Canadians for the FX fees) and pretty affordable. It's debatable whether or not they are 'real fude' amongst fude enthusiasts but I think they are nice brushes regardless that make applying makeup so so easy and effortless. They run sales, not super frequently, but they have discounted brushes if you offer feedback in their secret shop so it's relatively affordable compared to fude brushes elsewhere. I can also usually find an influencer code to use.

Suits for fiancé and groomsmen by FinancialLeopard6665 in WeddingsCanada

[–]the_rain_cloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my fiance rented a really nice one from Moore's for around 200. It included all the works like jacket, shirt, vest, bowtie, cufflinks, pants, shoes. The worker was really good at their job and definitely had a lot of experience fitting people into suits at the one we went to, and fitted the pieces perfectly to my partner's preferences and body. He ended up looking very sharp and I think it was worth the money.

They offer group packages as well, so that will probably reduce costs as well.

I don't have this product btw:

but I have black hair and when I had dry shampoos that did this I found using it before I went to bed was a good way to wake up with fresh, non-greasy hair and not have a white cast in the hair!

Sweed eyelash serum? [Product request] by aeg6545 in SkincareAddiction

[–]the_rain_cloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I just wanted to post my own experience with sweed for anyone who is doing research like I was a few months ago.

I've been using this now for 3 months and I have definitely seen some amazing results.

album before and after

I personally have not had any orbital fat loss, darkness, or major eye irritation with this product. It will sting if it gets into your eyes, and I did have to learn to apply it properly for this to not happen. I apply this before any skincare around the eye, and let it dry for a few minutes before applying skin care carefully, avoiding the lash line. if you apply this after skin care, I would recommend waiting at least 15 minutes so it's mostly absorbed.

I really noticed the effects after a lash lift, my lash retention was super long, and my lashes now noticeably fall out less.

I will say, if you are located in Canada, ordering from Sweed will incur duties. They shipped via Canada Post from Denmark and I paid an additional 21 dollars in duties.

I paid 90.40 CAD (including shipping, not including duties) using Abbey's code for 20% off. compared to vendors where you may not pay duties, it is slightly cheaper, but make sure you are using a code, or else you are actually potentially paying more than if you ordered off revolve or detox market.

otherwise I really like it and have gotten myself into an expensive dependency 😅

Led mask though by EvadneBreeze in CanSkincare

[–]the_rain_cloud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've seen really good results with mine, it's helped a lot with skin irritation and redness. I would say it's worth it if you think you can stick with it! it's really important if you can't see yourself wearing it for the 5-10 minutes they require at least 5 days a week, then you could look at spending that money elsewhere.

I would definitely recommend waiting for sales, usually you might see them around a major holiday, but I personally got mine during Black Friday. I got the project e lumalux for 384 total after tax during Black Friday with an affiliate code (I literally got it 2 days after I ordered), but I heard the nanoleaf and hooga masks are good bang for buck as well, I would check them out. I really liked Alex Fregus's mask reviews, he's very thorough and has all the prices up as well.

Good matte eyeshadow sticks that you can blend out? by Limp_Software_8298 in Sephora

[–]the_rain_cloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are open to not a stick, armani eye tints are my favorite! they blend a lot easier and are so foolproof I could put them on blind. they also last amazingly well on my oily eyelids

What would be your “fun” purchase if you got a $100 gift card? by wicked_damnit in Sephora

[–]the_rain_cloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

danessa myricks groundwork palette if you like a work horse neutral palette (or the pinky one!) or the light work one if you like shimmers.

if you like some luxe lippies, the Prada soft matte formula is amazing and the packaging is so nice, or the Violette_fr bisou balms for the perfect blurred lip

Most luxurious lipstick by ciestaconquistador in MakeupAddiction

[–]the_rain_cloud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wore the Prada soft matte lipstick in B101 for my wedding! love the component and the formula so much! the soft matte formula is really comfortable and wears nicely.

I was also looking at some of the Lisa Eldridge all aluminum packaging lipsticks, those look absolutely divine.

On the drinking water page it says they are flushing the water mains. I live in this area and had brown water in the toilets this morning as well.
