You should get a reward for finishing a palette!

Tbh eyeshadow is the one thing I do splurge on. I've just never tried a comparable drugstore product. The colors look similar but I am so picky about the way they apply/pigmentation. High end foundation too. I hate that it's actually so much better than drugstore cause RIP my wallet

 

I'm not sure if I ever plugged my friend's YouTube channel or not but she just uploaded this Dollar Tree challenge and it's so good.

 

I have been really obsessed with the ABH Modern Renaissance palette and yesterday I did a look with it that I just couldn't stop staring at haha. That palette was the best birthday present to myself

 

Does Urban Decay not sell Grifter anymore?? I have it in a palette but I want it in a single. It looks like it's only in the 20 Years of Beauty collection and I'm not paying $375 for that! I hate that all my fave UD eyeshadows are discontinued or only made in palettes.

 

Why does every eyeliner transfer into my crease? Waterproof, pencil, gel, liquid, doesn't matter. Stupid hooded eyes. >:(

 

This doesn't belong in the sexism thread really. What are your tricks for cramps? I know a few of you have endometriosis. Does anything help?

 

The only thing that ever helped me was birth control. I used to get the worst cramps. I'd throw up all day and get in the shower and just lie there and then crawl out of the shower to puke and lie on the floor lol. My back would hurt so bad it'd like seize up and I couldn't move for hours. The only thing that helped was taking ibuprofen the second I knew my period was coming and keeping cool. Most people told me to take a warm shower or use a hot compress but I'd just throw up more. Birth control was the only thing that enabled me to live a normal life on my period #unhelpful

 

That is EXACTLY me. I think I'm going to get on BC just for that.

 

If you do, don't be afraid to try out different ones! My doctor gave me 3 month sample packs of different brands until I found one that worked the best and then she just wrote me a prescription for it. Life changing. Spoiling for potential TMI but it also lessened the flow a lot. Before I could barely live normally cause it was so heavy. Like as soon as I'd wake up I'd have to run for the bathroom lol and I always had to think about being able to have access to a bathroom, but it's sooooo much better now and I barely have to worry about it

 

I have endometriosis and my periods were absolutely hell. I missed so much school because I was in so much pain I didn't want to get out of bed. Ibuprofen and heating pad or a hot bath worked a bit but yeah birth control is the only thing I have found that has actually really helped. I seriously don't know what I would do without it. I do still get some cramps, but they are mostly manageable and I can 99% of the time be a functioning human being which was not the case before going on the pill. It took me a bit to find one that worked because unfortunately most of them gave me bad migraines but once I found one that worked it was great! TMI time for me too but mine were so heavy I would have to wear overnight pads during the day and change them like every hour. Now I could just wear a panty liner and be totally fine. Mine were also stupidly irregular (I had one that lasted around 3 months or so straight which was the absolute worst). Now they last 5 to 7 days. The only thing that it really hasn't helped with is my depression gets way worse right before I'm about to start.

 

Good lord I'd die. That is a girls worst nightmare that you go through. I don't see how anyone does without a heating pad. My main thing is I have debilitating back pain and I've tried those sticky heat pack things and it did absolutely nothing.

 

Haha mine was like that too. Too many embarrassing accidents due to that. Dear God, I'm getting flashbacks

 

Coughing or sneezing is what causes my accidents. I remember wanting to wear cute white pants but I'd be paranoid all day if I was on my period wearing them.

 

The only thing that I hate about birth control is I gained 10 pounds within the first month after starting it. 2 years later still haven't lost those damn 10 pounds, either. It made me gain when I went on it back in HS, too. At least it was only 10 pounds. It just sucked because I worked really hard and had just lost 10 pounds only to gain it right back!

 

There use to be this awesome body lotion at Bath & body Works but they discontinued it so that's a bummer. Bout to run out and need to get some new stuff.

 

Do you like stuff that smells or is unscented?

 

I like stuff that is scented.

 

I have a friend who only uses Nivea bc it has sunscreen and everything you need in it. The smell is nice but not overpowering.

I smelled some men's gold bond lotion the other day and it was a light summery smell. I would have bought it but I don't like scented stuff.

 

I guess this goes here

 

Guys I need hair advice. Hair appointment on Friday! I just have long dyed blonde hair that is boring as F.

Any color or cut suggestions? My friends are useless and I'm indecisive!! I need an outside opinion haha

Ok current grow out and up close color ( eek it's been a while):



And how long my hair currently is ( sorry for the weirdo pic, I sent it to my college pals for input of which was keep it!!)


I appreciate any and all input SO much!

 

@kassie09 that shot of the back of your hair is beautiful! I wish I had suggestions but I'm so bad with hair!


I'm wearing a more subdued lipstick today and im not sure how I feel about it. I like bold colors cause they last forever. I feel like this one is gonna fade off after I eat and drink. Meh.

 

I like the color and length a lot. I always get chunkier layers when I'm bored with my hair. I'm not very bold though. @kassie09

Me today w/ eyeshadow. I've been laughing hysterically bc it's so on point. NSFW.

 

omg that fall at the end hahahaha

 

@Kiana @AelNire thanks guys! I don't think Ive ever gotten chunky layers. I'm not bold either just so bored hahaha

I hope the hair dresser has some trustworthy ideas

 

I usually go in with like 10 pictures I like and I'm just like GO FOR IT I TRUST YOU.
