Ha @missjeanie for my Mom it would be animal print, she is one saucy grandma😂
It’s how the powder room is wallpapered my parents’ house, @missjeanie -Inam not making this stuff up😂
Yes @missjeanie I color coordinate my walls to my company just like my masking🤣 Ha ha ha, that made me laugh I guess I should have worded it differently! We just repainted the entire house the same color, but unfortunately what was a nice cool flat zen-like green became shiny avocado-70’s refrigerator in semi-gloss. I could not stand the bathroom so when my husband had to do some touch-ups before company today, I picked out the shade I wanted (I knew I wanted something in purple) and painted. It was so bad I didn’t want them to see😆
I post on both, my Mac’s wifi stopped working after my daughter spilled water on it, so it’s tethered to one place🙄 I took it in to the apple store and it would have been around $800 to troubleshoot with no guarantees. Sigh.
@eshoeI mean... We know you're a fantastic host to threads on BIC, but painting to match your guests... now that's a hostess! lol oh my... 70's avocado green could have been nice.... lol, but I understand the desire to paint, if it isn't right, it'll just throw everything off. I've got a few painting projects that I'm still deciding on... Paint swatches on my bedroom wall are a look right?
I found that posting on mobile (my phone or Ipad) I had so much trouble that I ended up taking a huge break from the community. Part of it is the way it's laid out, and part of it was me loosing posts. I use my mac now more often through the day with my new job so it's a bit easier to keep up now. 800$... that's a new computer! I'd say spend the 20$ on a nice 50 foot extension cord lol!
Ugh- hate when that happens to a post, @eshoe but at least the masking was good!
You are absolutely right about that @quspork!
@eshoe yaaaaaay! Well, yay for enjoying the masks, boooooooo for losing the post! I hate it when that happens, my posts for the galentine's day thread kept disappearing and i was just arghhhhhhh.
Glad you're enjoying the eye gels and in the fridge! Such a good idea! I never thought about it, but they are a pretty curved shaped (I usually wear them with the fat part near my nose and the little pointy part up towards the outer edge of my eye/eyebrow. My partner had them on once upside down like a sad clown face 🙂 he was also just making fun of me so I wouldn't put too much stock in that. I say, stick em on your face however you like! I do love the smell 🙂
Ooooh thank you for the tip @MissPuff I will try them upside down next time😂
Aw man! Sorry all the text went missing. 😞 I've had that happen before... Great masking session though. That origins is on my buy list to try. 😄 Thx @eshoe
Awww my heart sank just reading that. Yeah:( then you rewrite it and are disheartened even more if it happens again so your post gets shorter and shorter and doesn’t end up being what you originally intended. :(. @eshoe I feel ya.
...and shorter, and shorter, until you just don’t post and read others’ posts in envy @heartsmyface 😉
Oh noooo, @eshoe! So sorry to hear about the "technical difficulties" you had with posting! I feel for you. Once, I wrote out my post 3 separate times only to receive a message that get an error message and lose all my text each time. The remnants are great and your pics fabulous. I have those rose eye gels and I'm definitely going to reach for them after I get through my current ones. @MissPuff did an amazing job picking out these goodies! 🙂
They are the first eye gels I’ve tried like this, @itsfi, so there’s definitely an excitement factor;) I’m thinking I may need to snip something though as the fit is very unique🤔
What about the fit is off for you @eshoe? Is it the size of the eye gels? The shape? Both?
The smaller side has an almost pointy end which curves up @itsfi. When I place them under my eyes, if I want to cover the area that needs hydration (right underneath my eyes) it pokes into the inner corner of my eye covering the tear duct. I may just need to trim off that part next time🤔
Ahhh, I see, @eshoe. Would it work better if you flipped the eye mask around so that the pointier side is at the outer corner of your eye?
I am going to try that next time @itsfi, thank you for suggesting that😊
No problem @eshoe! We’ll just say that I’ve had many lessons learned with eye masks. 😉 Hope it works out better for you!
@eshoe I've had my entire review just disappear on me before too, and that's when I started writing it in my notes app first, then copying and pasting to the thread page. I'm sorry that happened, it is the worst! 😥😠
Tatcha violet sounds sooo lovely! I kinda wanna buy the Tatcha mask just for that container!! Such a beautiful color!
I've tried that JayJun Honeydew Mask and really enjoyed it too! It really did smell refreshing and delicious! 😋
I think I'm seriously going to buy that Origins mask just because you compared to applying Peach Yoplait on your face! Haha! Sounds fantastic to me! 🍑😉
