Ok so I've been wanting to make this thread for a while. I've also been wanting to start a "random thoughts" thread...but I figured I'd separate the categories so that at least the "beauty" one is on the front page, rather than hidden in off topic. So, have a beauty-related thought but don't think it's worth starting a thread about ? Post it here !

 

today I got a facial at an extraordinarily nice spa. A real treat. And the results were immediate and truly great. But guys: she pulled out a clarisonic and a foamy cleanser for that first initial cleanse, and I nearly had a heart attack. Great for a lot of people but most of you know how I feel about those things !!!!!! Overall, as I said, it was great and my skin is happy. But sheesh.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Is this weird? I literally don't know how to apply eyeshadow. I think it's beautiful and I covet pretty palettes but aside from smearing a single colour on my lid I have no clue what to do with it. Of all the makeup things I find it the most confounding. My skills in this area literally never progressed past high school.

BT helps a lot, when Laritheloud would post she would explain that she patted on eyeshadow. I think that the biggest break through was when I was on agapelovegirl's YT to look at eyeshadow swatches and saw her do an application with a zoomed in camera. OH. You mean it won't fall out doing more passes like that!

 

Light bulb moment.

 

What's really funny is that if you do any sort of painting for fun it can translate to doing your makeup. By nature we can blend and mix so easily on another media.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

I was like this when I first started getting more interested in makeup. I would literally watching tutorials on YouTube WHILE applying the makeup, until I learned techniques that were best for me as well as brushes, etc. Once you figure out what's best for you it becomes second nature!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

I'm still learning. I never wore eye shadow for that reason...and blush. Someone on BT suggested watching YT videos, so I've watched a few to get an idea. I still bumble thru it!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Thank you guz and sam! Good to know I'm not alone. I seriously feel like a dolt in this area. And eyeliner...ack. A whole other kettle o' fail.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Haha I'm with you re: eyeliner also.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

I can't do eyeliner either, I rarely wear it lol

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

I must be weird too. I don't own eyeshadow for this reason. I am in awe of how beautifully people apply it. 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Really? You don't own any eyeshadow? But... but... you always look so pretty in your pictures. That's wearing NOTHING?

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Well, thank you jozkid! I don't own any. I'm totally into lipsticks now. Maybe eyeshadow next? 😉

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Not weird. I'm still learning.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Not weird at all.  I don't know how to apply it properly either.  I used to just apply one cream shadow across my whole lid and call it a day.  Now that I'm actively trying to apply multiple shadows (both powders and cream) I'm finding that it's a lot harder than it looks.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

I'll be needing new serums so I am eyeing Drunk Elephant and DDG serums. My first concern is always if the products I am eyeing have all the permissible ingredients. I sent emails to both brands inquiring about their products. Got the reply from DE which I am very happy with. Thought I should share it in case anyone else wants to know. I'll post about DDG once I get their reply.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Thanks for posting this. The Drink Elephant brand seems to have great products, I've only tried samples so far tho. And I dig the name!

 

I know DDG is cruelty free and some products but not all are vegan. The peel pads and the ferulic and retinol serum are vegan. Their website will list if a product is vegan on the product page.  So glad there are more companies making CF and vegan quality products!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Can anyone think of a candle that smells like roses? I need the perfect rose candle. 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Jo Malone Red Roses.  Smells just like roses

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Big fat ditto to this!  It's like you stuck your face in a rose bouquet!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Let me check that one out:)

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Would Diptyque roses be too obvious an answer?

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Not too obvious. I see people rave about those candles but didn't want to buy blindly lol.

Is that really great gwp still going on?

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY

Dior Glowing Nude has been taken off the site completely. Whomp whomp.
