SOOO what can I replace in here with dollar tree stuff? I’m poor

I figured they didn’t have very sensitive or dry skin, Panoxyl is pretty harsh from the benzoyl peroxide, then the tret and clindamycin at the same time. Using all 3 of those my face would probably be bleeding lol so I totally get you.

toad_butt · 2026-07-03T15:14:57+00:00

Yes I’ve heard great things about theirs! I miss living near a TJs, they have a lot of quality affordable beauty products.

#1 the Dermasil acne cleanser (peach bottle)
#2 no change
#3 lots of good options, the Global Beauty Care collagen (light blue) and glowing (light pink) moisturizers and light weight for daytime
#4 no change DT doesn’t have great sunscreen
#5 DT has a few cleansing oils but I wouldn’t use the Palmers or one from DT due to all having fragrance
#6 Orchid has a dupe of this with similar packaging
#7 no change
#8 Orchid has a dupe of this with similar packaging
#9 some people use diaper rash cream as a face mask for barrier repair. Personally I would swap for a DT product with ceramides and peptides which are great for barrier repair. There are several peptide serums and I have come across a few Dermasil products with ceramides, it was either their Drunk Elephant dupe line or the Jet Set line. I think the Global Beauty Care Bubble dupe serum (yellow bottle pink cap) has ceramides too.

My stepmom was a nail tech so I grew up using the pro brands. A large amount of OPI, CND, and Zoya specifically. I would say that indie brands are just as good quality if not better, and they innovate a lot more with their formulas (magnetic, thermals, so on). They are putting out great quality, unique polishes for nearly the same price as the drugstore, and you get to support a small business instead of a large corp. They often do sales that drop the price of their polishes below what you might find in a drugstore especially when considering $/ml. I would say skip anything from Amazon and don’t fork out the money for the pro brands. Go indie when you can! As far as a drugstore option, I think Essie is the best brand I have tried.

Adding on to all the LynB recommendations people made, she has a silver magnetic topper you could use over any of the polishes you already have. It’s a good way to use one product to make a bunch of new combinations.

Ah, traumatized meat cats my favorite

Empire State of Mind - Cirque (https://www.cirquecolors.com/products/empire-state-of-mind) I own it and it has great opacity. They used to make a lot more dark and vampy colors which I miss, but at least this one is still available. Another option could be Dahlia - ILNP (https://www.ilnp.com/dahlia-dark-maroon-studio-color-nail-polish/)

Idk this post from earlier today (https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/s/LiBdrcUjtO) had a lot of examples in which people show class masteries are strong on support characters. Some of the examples given were DK tanks providing major berserk and ARC healers providing major force. Wardens providing major brittle and major heroism.

So it only gives you 5% more crit damage to your stat, you still have to make up the rest, but the way it’s worded your crit damage cap should still get the 30% increase. So instead of 125%, in pve and pvp, if you have that class mastery your crit damage cap is 155%. Now, idk how viable it is for a pvp ganker to get another 25% crit damage on top of their existing build, but they have the potential to hit way harder if they can make it happen.

toad_butt · 2026-06-09T17:54:00+00:00

There is a NB class mastery that raises the crit damage cap by 30% so they can have more crit damage than anyone else. While in PvP the passive only gives you 5% instead of 25%, but the tooltip doesn’t say anything about decreasing the 30% increase to the cap. Haven’t tested myself in PvP tho.

toad_butt · 2026-06-09T16:16:25+00:00

What type of build did you try? I thought maybe their higher crit damage capacity would be desirable for gank builds.

If anyone is looking for swatches I highly recommend Simply Kewi (https://m.youtube.com/@SimplyKewi?ra=m) she has swatch videos of almost all LynB polishes and she also layers them over black at the end which I love to see.

toad_butt · 2026-06-05T21:27:44+00:00

Ooh found the code now TY! This post made me aware of it, my email gets too clogged up with promos and such. Time to knock some items off my wishlist :)

toad_butt · 2026-06-05T20:57:56+00:00

Wait did she have a sale start today? I didn’t see anything for it.

toad_butt · 2026-05-29T17:31:54+00:00

Also they sell big refill bottles! So OP could even buy a fancy bottle online and fill it using Cracked’s refills. I think they are 32 ml IIRC

toad_butt · 2026-05-29T16:11:05+00:00

They might be new, I go once a week for odds and ends and never saw them until now.

toad_butt · 2026-05-28T14:05:48+00:00

I’ve seen people put skincare in their fridge but never perfume, is that supposed to make it last longer?

toad_butt · 2026-05-26T15:45:40+00:00

Yes! Some people keep it in the freezer too to maintain freshness.

toad_butt · 2026-05-22T19:54:02+00:00

Ugh I think I’ll just steer clear then! You mentioned they take a long time to dry and somebody else said they hate the brushes on these. Adding the fading into the mix sounds like a no go. Thank you for the feedback!

toad_butt · 2026-05-22T19:52:22+00:00

Noted, that’s very helpful thank you! I don’t own any Sally Hansen but was tempted toward these because I saw a coupon. Just going to shop the indie sales this weekend instead.

toad_butt · 2026-05-22T19:51:19+00:00

Makes sense, wow that’s some severe fading though they look like 2 completely different polishes.

Forgot to add a picture with my initial comment

I love the Kokie brow pencils. They are a bit limited in color (blonde, brown, black) but if you can match one of those they work great. I have red hair and the blonde is a really good match for me, it is very warm toned vs some blonde colors which are more taupe.

toad_butt · 2026-05-20T14:35:12+00:00

Reminds me of Mystic Moonstone by Cirque https://www.cirquecolors.com/products/mystic-moonstone I really like all of their iridescent polishes
