  • Sorry I’m late to this thread - I haven’t been online as much recently. But makeup is one of my favorite things!

    If you want simple basic makeup for everyday wear, try Angela Bright. She’s great about explaining exactly what she’s doing, which products and brushes she’s using, and lately she’s in kind of a neutral, simple makeup phase, so her looks are pretty approachable.

    For simple makeup, people also seem to like Jen Phelps and Hannah Louise Poston.

    And then if you’re feeling adventurous and want to try colorful fun makeup, try Angelica Nyqvist. I really love her tutorials and even if you’re not so into bold colorful looks, her techniques are still useful to apply to more simple neutral looks.

    These are all white women, which is helpful for me because I’m Casper the Ghost pale. But if your skin is deeper in tone, their techniques might not show up so well on your skin. Here are some channels by women of color that I see mentioned pretty often. I can’t vouch for them because I haven’t tried them, but maybe you’ll find them helpful.




  • I was intrigued about Sweet Almond Blossom, so I went and read the description. It says:

    A fruity, floral, gourmand perfume. A blue sky natural high, all year round. A daydreamer’s fantasy. A fragrance for the enchanting, ethereal, sensuous and hypnotic.

    Smells like… Mouth-watering natural pomelo and juicy passionfruit float over clouds of delicate apple blossom. Creamy vanilla, sandalwood, and nutty tonka bean are beautifully balanced with explosions of other-worldly crisp green matcha tea.

    … none of those words are almond, which is a surprise. From the name, I’d imagined this would smell like a floral marzipan, but the description doesn’t sound like anything almond at all. Do you think it smells like almond? Because if yes, I’m intrigued to try it, but if no, I’ll skip it.










  • Ugh or the tiny decorative soaps shaped like roses that you can’t use, they’re for decoration only, but your mom got them as a wedding favor in the '80s so the soaps and the little wicker display basket they came in have accumulated a coating of dust that can’t be removed unless you use water which rUiNs the sOaPs…

    That and doilies. I really hate doilies.
