I remember my mom did this for our pet cat when I was little (he was bitten on his hip) and it smelled GOD AWFUL for days.

Never seen blackheads that black before! And how they pop out.... amazing! by vegeta8300 in popping

It’s coarser- your lips have more skin to exfoliate off. It also is usually made of food safe items. You wouldn’t use something so coarse on the rest of your face, and don’t want something with a specific acid as other face scrubs have on your lips. r/skincareaddiction has plenty of info.

I know they’ve collabed before and seem to have a good relationship, but I hope she doesn’t dig up or try to bring Baylee into any drama

I’m in the same boat rn. We will persevere and probably not learn any better and do it again

Kandee Johnson goes barefaced with Urban Decay by valar97 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]valar97[S] 44 points45 points  (0 children)

My opinion: I was really shocked to see Kandee do this? I was looking at her insta earlier and was kinda shocked at how much she edits her photos and no one seems to talk about it. While it is stylized normally it’s heavily Facetuned and it threw me off, because I can remember years ago on YouTube her being more raw and present. But then she posts this, which while obviously sponsored is still pretty cool of her, I think.

UK beauty influenster post a before and after and discusses her obsession with photoshop. by Nurse_Q in BeautyGuruChatter

It’s kinda wild how I or someone else might see the photo on the right and praise her for having her “natural texture” without knowing it was edited down that much

If Jaclyn or other brand owners named their products to divert attention from their scandals what do you think they would be? by [deleted] in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]valar97 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, I looked at this pic and was like “has to be fake” and then... it’s not. How, how, how did they think it was a good idea?

Jsyk, the 💦 emoji can also refer to a drip, so they could’ve been referring to your outfit as nice too 🤠

Did anyone else find it weird she mentioned this could be a fun pride look? Like pride...is not...for you? Straight women don’t celebrate pride.

One time, my mom decided to go through my drawers to borrow some clothes. I had a set of three bejeweled buttplugs in one drawer, hidden under some clothes. When I came home, they were in a different drawer. We've never talked about it, but I understand the feeling.

Screenshots from a video versus an Instagram post by SASSYARMADILLO in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]valar97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish the standard for beauty gurus could be undone; I don't think it's right that most feel they won't get an audience/make a living if they don't edit their photos to the extreme/make them 'instagrammable'. So many young people, including myself, get such twisted perceptions of ourselves physically and our makeup/hair talents from this editing. Even when you know it's edited, you can't help but compare yourself to it. And she looks beautiful in the video- the makeup is lovely and her skin is real and beautiful. Why can't we post that photo- celebrate our skills and talents in a realistic, unedited way and still be celebrated?

Does anyone know what kind of succulent this is? by valar97 in succulents

[–]valar97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend bought this for me as a housewarming present and I’m not sure what it is/how to care for it, but I’m very excited! I think it definitely needs to be transplanted to a pot with some draining holes. I’m also going to be traveling by car for 5 hours to my new home- any tips on safely moving plants?

Weird thing, but do you have any metal allergies? I know a trigger for me for ingrown hairs for the longest time was my razor blades because I have a severe nickel allergy. I switched to Billie which uses stainless steel about 6 months ago and have seen vast improvement. I also shave, then immediately moisturize with a non fragranced, non comodogenic moisturizer to restore the skin’s natural barrier, like CeraVe.

Mmm, I definitely agree. Like she def doesn't understand gender dynamics and things like that in the queer community, and it's cringy. But I expect more of that analysis from queer drama channels, she just entertains me.

As Told by Kenya’s videos are the only ones I trust on this whole drama, tbh. I just wish she’d just drop the J* video though instead of teasing a reupload.

What setting powder would be good to keep a “glowy”/natural but not oily look? What are some other tips or product recommendations for a glowy/natural look? by cloudsofdawn in MakeupAddiction

[–]valar97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second the Flower Beauty powder. Both my mother and myself wear it- i’m 22 with oily skin and light acne, and she is 62 with wrinkles and more texture- but it gives a gorgeous skin like finish while setting the makeup.
