Have you tried microbladding?

Sorry if this one sounds a bit like a rant but Knowing I have KP (keratosis Pilaris) also known as “chicken skin” and no matter how much I try to tame it it just doesn’t go down. My arms aren’t so bad but on my legs in spades due to teasing Even through adulthood I never wear shorts And always wear solid tights or leggings when wearing dresses or skirts. Even when I went in on a tropical vacation I wore tights under my sundress and never shorts Which was not smart and very Frustrating. My arms aren’t as noticeable so I luckily can get away with wearing short sleeve t shirts without any commentary. Again As for the legs I don’t even own a pair of shorts and haven’t since the last straw comment I got twice in one year which was literally word for word I kid you not from the mouth of an adult “dude what is wrong with your legs” and that was the end of my legs seeing the light of day. I wish ki was curable condition not just somewhat manageable 😞

@WhereYouStand just know that your legs are not your fault, and you should love yourself no matter what anybody says.

@WhereYouStand I have spider veins on my thighs and calves and I hate them so much. I've had them since I was a teenager and I've always been super self conscious of them. I tried to get them removed and they just came back. I definitely understand not wearing shorts -__-

[fieldsofclover]

@WhereYouStand Amen, sister. I've been a paragon of "modest" fashion my entire life for this exact reason. I've wrestled mine into an uneasy truce after thirty years with a lot of dietary restrictions, but I still own one LBD and zero shorts and that will probably never change 😒

Nope nope nope nope nope. Been using other eyeliners after switching away from Marc Jacobs Highliners (they dry out soooo fast) and I woke up this morning and can feel a tiny scratch on my upper waterline. That is way too close for comfort to my actual eyeball and I don't trifle with that.

So I'm going to break my makeup no-buy today (grrr) and head to the dragon's lair (flagship Nordstrom) and get this one specific liner I think will be a good replacement (Nars Intensifier Kohliner) and I'm determined to leave without spending $300 but I might ask the store manager for a ticket to the spring fashion show because I'm cranky about my eye now.

When you wait on a LE product because it's supposed to come into stores so you don't have to pay S&H, and it has yet to do so. It's now sold out on the website, and I'm really mad at myself as it was supposed to be in stores the first week of March and not one store near me has it (trust me I went to 5 stores this morning at 6:00am hunting it down. This wasn't my first time doing this either) :(.

@niki172 the wet n wild set is now in stock at Ulta!!! If you’re still looking for those items, go snag them before they’re gone!

[niki172]

Thanks @gonerogue!

[niki172]

An FYI update - according to a couple of CS reps I've talked to over at Wet N Wild they are going to be restocking the loose highlighter (moon tears) however the box is not coming back unfortunately. They do have a contest on IG right now to win a box, but that's kinda like playing the lottery. @makeitup305 @RGbrown @playingdressup @tsavorite

[makeitup305]

@niki172 I'm in the same boat. I've seen it only at some Walgreens, and the problem is they only have enough for the display (2 or 4 max!) so of course at this point none of them have it. I've been all over looking for them. LE WnW collections usually only go to Walgreens and Ulta which sucks.

[gonerogue]

This has definitely happened to me before 😡 I’m sorry for your frustration! What product were you looking for?

[niki172]

@gonerogue  the Wet N Wild Moon Tears loose highlighter. They said it was coming to Ulta (like their past collections) so I figured I'd wait and grab what I wanted then, or at least it was supposed to be at Walgreens/CVS and none of them in my area have it. I've even checked out supermarkets like Walmart - no luck.

[playingdressup]

@niki172 I feel you!!! This was me today, I went to three Walgreens and found zip. The stores by me never seem to get anything limited edition

[fieldsofclover]

@niki172 I waited for the collection to come in-store at Ulta too and they never got it... finally found it at another store. I'll ship you one if you want, seriously. 💀✨

[niki172]

@fieldsofclover that's super sweet of you!! There was talk of a restock by Wet n Wild on their IG page, but I may just take you up on that. I really don't want to spend $20+ on eBay for a $5ish highlighter - that's nuts.

[tsavorite]

@niki172,

Same here, but I was waiting for it to come online at Ulta! 

Now I hate myself for missing it!

[gonerogue]

@niki172 oh, no! I’ll keep an eye out for it but I can’t say I’ve seen it at any Walgreens or CVS around me 😕

[niki172]

Thank you @gonerogue 💗!  One of the cashier's at CVS has gotten to know me really well lol.

[RGbrown]

@niki172

Gah, I had forgotten I had been waiting on that to hit Ulta...it never did, did it 😞 

[niki172]

@RGbrown it never did hit Ulta which is weird since they got everything else prior, and other outlets were reporting that they and Walgreens etc would get it.
