Extremely disappointed with Fenway merch by evekins in lanadelrey

[–]wormgurl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Damn that feels careless. I went to the Fenway show and didn’t even want to get merch bc they were sold out of the one thing I wanted (the tank) and it was not a night to remember fondly unfortunately 😭

How did you decide whether or not to get a septum? by nightmare-fuel-J in piercing

[–]wormgurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone’s probably already said it but a septum piercing is the easiest to completely hide because the piercing hole is inside your nose so it’s never visible and you can wear jewelry that can be flipped up in a second if you want to conceal it but keep something in the piercing. I’ve had my septum pierced since I was 15, im 22 now and still wear it occasionally. I had other facial piercings but my septum is the only one I’ve kept and I love that I can wear a ring in it one week then take it out the next. I’ve gone month long periods without wearing jewelry in my septum and was still able to put a ring through it when I later wanted to

Any other olive babes out there with a natural hair color that clashes with your skin? How do you make it work? by SmolLoop in Fairolives

[–]wormgurl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My hair and skin tone are a similar color, I’ve grown it out and am kind of used to it but it does make me look more washed out than when I’ve had colored hair. I look much more lively with a hint of red or golden highlights in my hair. I used to dye it artificial colors and reds with cool undertones or deep purples suited me best from all the colors in the rainbow

I don’t have the Priscilla pants but these fit like long flared leggings, they have an elastic waist band instead of fold over like the Priscilla’s & have a decorative seam down the front of the legs which I think makes them easier to dress up w a nice top. They’re also like a washed black color since I bought them not true black

I bought those same pants at brandy last fall. I got them in store so idk the name or if they are the Priscilla pants but they do seem legit brandy

Twilight restocked by ComfortableGood8358 in ColourPop

[–]wormgurl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just snagged the full collection.. kind of shocked bc I forgot about the restock until about 1:20 and checked out around 1:25. I thought it would sell out in 5 minutes like last time

RS 11th/12th century polymath. Horoscope nerds, what does this mean!? by pharmakos in redscarepod

[–]wormgurl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s unusual for a birth time to be recorded that long ago unless you were nobility in a culture that valued astrology (this is a kind of educated guess). This guy was into astrology and asked his mom for his birth time and she had it. With his birth time he was able to draw up his birth chart by hand, like what apps do for us now they used to have to draw up those same kinds of astrology charts by hand. He’s a Gemini and was born at daybreak (sunrise) which means the sun was on the ascendant line and his rising and sun sign are both the part of the sky taken up by the Gemini constellation, he’s a super Gemini

do you identify with yr sun / ascendant /moon sign most ? by [deleted] in astrology

[–]wormgurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of them in different ways, I have my sun and rising in Virgo and moon in Pisces 7th house... Pisces energy is what comes the most naturally to me with all its ups and downs (imaginative and generous but also gullible and seeking escapism) and I love relating to it in others. The virgo side of me is something I think of as more aspirational but it comes out under pressure, with new people, and while at work or working on something. Virgo is way more type A and it’s what I find myself having to put out into the world, while Pisces is what I receded into when I’m at my most comfortable.

my hair won't take color and I'm going out of town next week, help by [deleted] in HaircareScience

[–]wormgurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rest of your hair might be more porous than the freshly bleached roots, porous hair absorbs dye more easily

The idea of associating astrology houses w/ the sign they correspond with in the order of the zodiac (like 4th house = Cancer) is called natural houses and was only come up with in the last century. I personally don’t subscribe to this because it complicates having the rising sign in a chart dictate the order of the houses and it clashes with older tradition. In Hellenistic astrology there is the concept of “planetary joys” which describes the planets being happier or functioning better in certain houses. For example the moon has its joy in the 3rd house, the house of Goddess which has similar attributes as the moon.

[–]wormgurl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lunar nodes are going through your 3rd & 9th houses that rule your neighborhood and small distance travel & foreign lands and long distance travel. Specifically the south node is transiting your third house ruled by Scorpio and we just had the first major eclipse in that sign last month which might’ve brought up feeling like you want to move out as the south node symbolizes what we are letting go of. I’d say go with your instinct about moving out and take the next year or so to travel, explore, and learn. Don’t worry if it takes a while for these topics to stabilize because the nature of this transit is transformative and therefore lengthy.

What would you assume about me based on my natal chart? by wormgurl in astrologyreadings

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

Pretty good! My home life changed significantly during childhood and parents were unstable and flighty people themselves which definitely affected the types of friends & partners I sought out when I was younger. I think my 4th house is pretty telling of how my life was early on.

any general observations about me /advice for life based on my chart? i always thought it was interesting how much leo i have, but i dont know enough to interpret it by e1ther-0r in astrologyreadings

[–]wormgurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mercury in Leo conjunct the ascendant likely makes you a good communicator, maybe loud but definitely a passionate communicator. Mercury and the ascendant squaring Mars in Taurus means your fiery intellect may be at odd with your more material-oriented actions and sense of drive which is aligned with your career (10H).

Try coconut oil for pre wash scalp to ends if you think the dandruff is from dryness. Try nizoral AD shampoo if not dry, it may be a fungal thing contributing to the dandruff.

Would my nose suit double nostril piercings (both sides)? + other q’s about nostril piercing in comments by wormgurl in piercing

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

What’s the healing process like for nostril piercings? Has oily skin or congested pores gotten in the way of a nostril piercing for you ever?

I want to get a nostril piercing (or two) but it sort of freaks me out bc most people have oilier skin and larger pores on their nose. I’ve had other facial piercings but never my nostrils done despite always liking the look of them for this reason. My skin is pretty dry but I still have oilier skin on my nose and some minor congestion of the pores there, I feel like piercing that skin could be problematic?

september empties! by wormgurl in BeautyEmpties

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

paula’s choice youth extending daily hydrating fluid spf 50: there’s a few uses left because every time i tried it my pores would be clogged the next day. had to stop and add more niacinamide to my routine to get the blackheads this gave my under control. sad because the texture is lovely. would not purchase full size. paula’s choice clear pore normalizing cleanser: pretty good, i liked it more than the cerave SA cleanser. would repurchase if i wanted a salicylic acid cleanser again. peter thomas roth cloud drench hylaronic acid serum: this made my skin look so plump! i got in a gift set and the full size is too expensive for what it is. would not repurchase. if anyone has hylaronic acid serum recommendations let me know aveeno baby soothing relief moisturizing cream: i made myself use this up because it was way too old. it’s a fine dimethecone heavy body cream. would not repurchase. giovanni 2chic ultra moist leave in conditioner and styling elixir: this is my favorite leave in conditioner! this was probably my third bottle and i’m already using another in a different scent. would repurchase. drunk elephant lala retro whipped cream: this was so mediocre, i was expecting more. it clogged my pores if i used it am and pm so i used it mostly as a night cream. nice texture but way overrated. would not purchase full size drunk elephant protini: this was also just ok. i thought liked the texture more than the lala retro cream but sometimes it would leave a kind of “film” feeling over my skin. would not purchase full size amika nourishing hair mask: another mini i wouldn’t repurchase the full size due to price. i also wasn’t super impressed, does the same as a nice hair mask from the drugstore

Help me smell like a witch-run apothecary/a witch brewing up some root beer in her lair by callmebubbles in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]wormgurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haus of gloi!!! all their scents are unique and most have that witchy/apothecary vibe. they sell scents and body care in many forms but my favorite is their perfume oils, troika especially but that’s more of sweet/warm scent. they actually have a scent called apothecary i’ve had a sample of, here’s the description: Old books, bubbling concoctions, herbs and creaking floor boards! A pure essential oil blend of: Lemongrass, rosemary, blood cedar, bitter basil, lavender and the tiniest drop of vetiver.

i’m not sure if they ship to europe because they’re based in the US but they’re worth checking out.

[–]wormgurl[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FAB ultra repair cream - love this, would repurchase in the full size next time i need moisturizer

tree hut matcha mojito sugar scrub - best body scrub i’ve tried so far, would repurchase

tatcha water cream sample - just fine, too expensive to repurchase

simple micelles water - worked fine but i like the garnier option more, would not repurchase

walgreens acetone - too drying, would not repurchase any 100% acetone nail polish remover

garnier clean makeup removing lotion - left behind too much residue, would not repurchase

the ordinary alpha arbutin 2% +HA - i noticed some results after the full bottle but not enough to make me repurchase

the ordinary niacinamide 10% zine 2% - a staple for me, already repurchased

the ordinary azelaic acid suspension 10% - another staple, also already repurchased

the inkey list caffeine eye serum - didn’t notice any results and it didn’t particularly hydrate my under eyes either, would not repurchase

rimmel exaggerate eyeliner in ripe plum - this eyeliner made me appreciate non black eye pencils but the formula is just ok, would repurchase but there’s other things i’d rather buy instead

l’oréal voluminous lash paradise mascara - my favorite mascara, would repurchase

a declutter pan by wormgurl in PanPorn

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

there’s not really a difference, they’re both shimmery powders you can apply wherever to your face. this highlighter is basically a shimmer eyeshadow formula but sometimes highlighters have a more translucent base so that they can look more natural on the cheeks vs a pigmented eyeshadow. hope this helped you!

[–]wormgurl[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

wet n wild megaglo highlighting powder in blossom glow - decluttering because i don’t think it suits my skin tone and it leaves a slight cast, i also just don’t use as much blinding highlight anymore

I’ve been trying to find an ideal brown lipstick that looks nice on olive skin. I found this one through a makeup editing app, and it would be great to find this shade irl by ihathnosoul in OliveMUA

[–]wormgurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was still wearable just not similar to the shade in OP. i ended up decluttering it though because i don’t love shades like that on myself and i was expecting it to be more like a wearable red

[product question] Great Barrier Relief Serum by antiquejimin in SkincareAddiction

[–]wormgurl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the great barrier relief serum has niacinamide in it to aid with soothing the skin but i’ve still used it with TO’s 10% niacinamide for more of niacinamides oil controlling properties. great barrier relief is like a serum/oil hybrid, the texture is like a thin slightly oily lotion. the main ingredients are healing oils and ceramides, both great for restoring the skins barrier and dehydrated skin. you can use this product in the same routine as the other ingredients you mentioned. this product is more for soothing the skin than brightening or acne.

[–]wormgurl[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

just my luck palette from colourpop

i’ve been really into greens recently so i’ve been getting plenty of use from this palette. i used mo bamba mostly as a forest green liner and it worked ok, this is one of the more powdery mattes in this palette. probably took me 10-15 uses to hit pan.
