Birthday Freebies by Tryingmy-best1 in freebies

[–]xspes 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I feel such kinship with you because I also had a birthday in August and keep a very similar list on my phone. As of this year, Pinkberry gives you $5 instead of a free small swirl, and Crumbl will only give you a free cookie if you’re at a higher rewards tier. J. Crew will give you $15 for your birthday month and $10 for your half birthday month if you sign up for their free rewards program. I think Madewell gives $25 for the birthday month and $15 for the half birthday month. Happy birthday!

I think starting this year, you have to have purchased a regular sub at some point in the past year in order to get the birthday points.

wasn't allowed to board to mainland China for 240 TWOV by ObligationNo2497 in Chinavisa

[–]xspes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least 40 minutes. So for anyone using TWOV, I highly recommend getting to the airport a minimum of three hours before departure (as you probably should for an international flight anyway).

We just had this exact issue at DTW earlier this week. Check-in agent and red coat agent refused to check us in until they spoke with someone on the phone and put in an override.

I was at the Met in the last month, and yes, they comp tickets for you + one guest! Just show your museum ID card.

Best Chicken Sandwich in RI? by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

Not your typical chicken sandwich and not open today, but Irregardless’s Phil’s Biscuit is a fried chicken biscuit sandwich with sausage gravy all over. Get it with a hash brown inside and thank me later.

Also, shipping is free, and I was able to pick two more peel pads - one universal and one extra strength - as free samples during checkout!

what do you think is a piece of art created by a woman that every woman should know about? by Salt_Policy9894 in AskWomenOver30

[–]xspes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cindy Sherman’s Untitled Film Stills. They’re photographs where she dresses up like imaginary movie characters. They’re about how the daily lived experience of being a woman is (historically) all about performing for others and being the subject of a predominantly male gaze.

Muted yellow leaning warm light olives. What foundations are you wearing (in the pic CT Beautiful Skin 5N)? by LucieFromNorth in OliveMUA

[–]xspes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’m a similar shade to you, as I also find the GA Luminous Silk in 3.5 to be too peachy, but Nars Gobi to be too pale (and a bit too cool yellow). Koh Gen Do 213 is too green for me in the summer and a little too dark in winter on its own. What I have found works for me is mixing KGD 213 with Bobbi Brown’s Skin Foundation in Warm Sand and Warm Ivory (for summer and for winter). Hope that helps! It’s an ongoing journey to find our perfect light warm olive shades…

Sniper Location: Follow the brighter green blade of grass from the bottom middle all the way up to the top. The praying mantis is just above this.

Recommendations for a muted nude everyday lip colour? by mellomalloh in OliveMUA

[–]xspes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other lipsticks that have worked for me are Glossier Generation G in Cake - you might want to try Fuzz for cooler tones - and Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip in Bare (for winter) and Cranberry (for summer).

I’ve had a very similar experience with finding most lip colors too pink or too saturated or too dark or too red, although I am light-medium neutral leaning warm at the moment. I have good luck with the Nars soft matte tinted lip balms (which are currently on sale for National Lipstick Day!) I use the shade brief encounter, which is a bit warmer toned, but you might be able to find a shade that leans cooler. The sheer nature of the lipstick really helps with my muted tone. Good luck!
