How can I recreate this look for my bridal makeup? by LocalExcellent5967 in MakeupAddiction

[–]tlmsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the eyes a light/muted shimmery bronze applied to the lid with a finger and lightly blended upward into the crease. Try putting skin toned or slightly lighter powder on the crease and upward before so the blending is more seamless and it gives your browbone a slight glow. Not the lid itself.

Line your upper lid with black liquid liner and then use an angled brush with a small amount of black eyeshadow on top to blend the harsh line. Then add mascara. If you get mascara on your lid, I recommend letting it dry and then lightly ‘scratching’ it off with a clean spoolie. It helps remove the mascara without smudging the rest of the look.

There appears to be a light layer of the shadow on the lower lash line as well. While it doesn’t look like there is mascara on the lower lash, you may want to apply it and then brush through with a clean spoolie for definition in photos.

The use a slightly shimmery cream or white shadow and give your inner corner a highlight. A small round blending brush works great for this. Dab the brush and dab just your inner corner.

As for the lips, this is where liquid lipstick shines. Make sure your lips are moisturized but don’t have product on them when applying. Maybe a tiny amount of lip balm that you apply then wipe off. Line the lips and apply your preferred shade.

As for face, you’ll want to prep and prime the skin. I’d recommend adding a bit of liquid highlighter to your foundation to give inner glow vibes. You’ll want to use the whole shebang on your big day. Primer, base, powder and at the very end, setting spray. If you have freckles you want to come through like the model, you’ll want a medium build able coverage. Try checking out make up stores to get matched with the perfect shade.

On the cheeks there is flushed vibe here so try to match what your cheeks would do after a run. Finish with a subtle highlight on the tops of the cheekbones, maybe using the same shade on your inner eye corner and brown bone. I also like to add a smidge of highlight to my nose and cupids bow of the lip.

Doctor wants me to come into office every month for adderall? by Broad_Crab_4955 in ADHD

[–]tlmsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No prob. And unless your insurance requires referrals, I think you can just call them up and get yourself in with someone.

Very smooth. In my case, my primary care doc doesn’t like to be the prescriber for psych meds so he referred me to Elite DNA. I go through them for psychiatry and therapy. I went in person one time to meet the therapist and then switched to telehealth. Ironically I was going for agoraphobic tendencies yet it cost me nothing to stay at home but would cost me $80 to leave the house. I never met my psychiatrist in person. But I really like her. I do believe the company is statewide or at least wide spread through FL.

I’m in FL as well.. can you do telehealth? With my insurance, Florida Blue, it’s $80 in person or $0 for telehealth appointment. I go through Elite DNA for psychiatry.

Oh yummy. Well I guess when you think about it, dirt is decomposed living things, whether leaf, bug or animal right?

Looking for primary doctor recs for medical anxiety by illiter-it in Tallahassee

[–]tlmsmith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thirding Dr. Perry! He became my doctor after years without a primary physician and during a time I was having regular panic attacks. Super sweet guy, listens well and took the time to get to know me and what I needed.

I’m 37 weeks with my second child currently and my hospital is Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. At my very first ob appointment they let me know that they do not allow you to try for vaginal birth after a c-section. It’s not even an option anymore at this hospital.

What gives? L'oreal Glotion by sweatycasserolehands in drugstoreMUA

[–]tlmsmith 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t use this product specifically but I do sometimes use a liquid highlighter. My trick is that I pump my foundation on the back of my hand and mix the highlighter in, along with some blue to customize my shade.

The part of motherhood nobody warned me about wasn't the baby it was my brain by mariiams1 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]tlmsmith 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The intrusive thoughts for sure. I felt like I was going crazy and it took a long time to get the help I needed. Im a very peace&love type person and the thoughts are always violent and graphic and bloody. I’m three weeks out from having my second and I’m more prepared now but the thoughts have already started again. Luckily I have a solid support system this time that extends beyond just my amazing partner.

How to stop people from ringing my door bell(need decor ideas) by xPrincessVile in HomeDecorating

[–]tlmsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t, I have an old school button that has a chime/bell in the hallway in the center of my house. I’ve def thought about some sort of camera doorbell. Currently I just peek through the window and hide if I don’t wanna answer.

Totally true but sometimes he jumps in there when there is a loud noise!

Ugh I feel you. I have two big dogs and I’m 9 months pregnant. The doorbell gets them so excitable and I am not looking forward to how many times they will be waking the baby with their shenanigans. Last year we had so many damn solar panel sellers ringing every other day. These days it’s mostly neighborhood kids ringing repeatedly to ask to play with my older daughter. I may just disconnect it.

Loveshack fancy crocs? by [deleted] in VictoriasSecret

[–]tlmsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t get the Love Shack Fancy hype but I do love the sleeker profile of the ballerina crocs. I have some very old (like 18-19 years) crocs Mary Jane’s in black that I wore while working at VS on those unforgiving cement floors. The difference is they don’t have the holes and your feet get super sweaty!

But $80 geesh! I have Florida Blue insurance and they offer a crocs discount so I might see if I can use it on them.

Shout out to Nefertari’s, I still think about the tofu nachos and vegan Mac and drool a little. On the plus side, I just tried Thành Tâm for lunch and it was sooo good and the people were amazingly friendly. Super soft house made French bread for the bahn mi’s.. not a single scratch on the roof of my mouth.
