Sephora

I'm not really mad at them, I don't shop in store much so I haven't seen how accurate or biased some of these stories might be, but I am heavily concerned about the long-term effects of the damage they're doing to their skin now and how little their parents either know or care about it. Fragrances and essential oils are incredibly easy to be sensitized to, and you can't use that oil or fragrance without having a reaction to it again after that happens.These products also have a lot of actives and acids, which can break down layers of the skin, and a lot of really common allergens and their relatives and close pollinators and protein matches. I would know, I'm basically allergic to outside and also existing around humans and water. Trying to find skincare, makeup, and hair products that even just have a low chance of giving me a reaction is like trying to find a specific needle in a haystack made of needles. If I had oversensitized my skin to that degree, or even was just trying to avoid all my allergens, it would probably be impossible to actually find something unless I hired myself a chemist to personally make my products for me and ensure they weren't contaminated through the entire process.These kids don't know what they're doing, that it has long-term consequences, or why people are telling them it's dangerous because they're teenagers and they're having fun trying out all the things their favorite influencers are using all at once. And what pre-teen or teenager is consistently making Sephora money And getting access to all of it?! Their parents are the ones with the money and should be the ones who are responsible enough to look into what their kid is interested in. Instead, they're either disinterested so they don't know, or their kid is making them money and getting them status by being an influencer themself to even younger kids so they encourage them. Either way, I don't blame the kids, I blame the adults that keep buying their kids this stuff and letting them run around the stores like its a playground.

@makeitup305 @You look amazing

New gwp And a new Dash To Beauty is open for signups (kinda...I tried to enter and got a response that the max had been met...maybe they'll get it fixed at some point...)  

My initial selections from Wayne's White Gold Collection, ordered through Beautylish. Launches on May 30.

when you check an ingredient list five or six times before you even consider putting a product in the cart, and after a product you thought was safe starts making your skin 100x worse you find out you somehow missed an ingredient you know you're allergic to. it took over a year for my skin to recover from maybe a month of using this thing, it was horrible.

@makeitup305, 8 does look darker and warmer than 10. Maybe see how 10 wears on you? For me, it did get a little deeper than the shade that dispenses out of the tube. For Kbeauty cushions, I’m between 21 & 23 at the moment.

@ChaoticKai I have 3c/4a/4b/4c curl patterns on my head. To top it all off, pun intended, my strands are very fine. With all of those textures going on, taming, let alone controlling my ALWAYS thirsty, frizzy, chronically dry hair takes work. Holding onto moisture takes dedication, lol! My new favourite is Pattern Beauty Leave-in Conditioner. It addresses all of my textures. The kitchen, the baby hairs, the front-ear tufts, and even the parched crown area. It leaves my hair touchably soft for 2 to 3 days at a time, which is amazing, for me. This product made me like the way all of the areas of my hair feel

Thank you so much @caitbird! 😊
