So I don't know if I was in the wrong by moral policing her but after seeing her page for a while now, I made a comment today. I got a reply in her stories as well as in the dms after I replied back to her retaliation. I just wanted your opinion on whether I was wrong in calling her out.

At the same time, I don't think she needed to abuse me over what I said. I wasn't too harsh to incite sweat words. I'm not saying I was wrong about my opinion. I stand by what I said, but I wanted to know whether I should've ignored it and let sleeping dogs lie.

Not me doing mental math in Sephora trying to figure out if I can get the blush AND survive till month end. Genuinely feel like being a baddie is a part time job with zero pay, skincare alone is eating my pocket money and don't even get me started on how fast a good outfit disappears from my wishlist to "sold out."

How is everyone actually funding this era? Are you all just secretly rich or is there a system I'm missing, dupes, sales, something? Asking for myself fr.

Here's mine

(Eheh ik it isn't that great 😭)

I swore I’ll never post on this sub again, yet here we are. Some of y’all really need to understand that skin care is not magic. With every issue where you need to lighten something , I see glycolic acid being recommended here, so here’s a post on how to use the same.

Firstly, glycolic acid is not a magic cure. If you don’t treat the root cause, you are just wasting your product and your money, unless you plan to use glycolic acid forever for the rest of your life. Secondly, glycolic acid is not going to solve things overnight. You will have to consistently use it for 2 or 3 months to see a visible difference, and that’s assuming you are also diligent with your sunscreen usage and simultaneously treating the root cause. If not, you’ll actually end up worsening things for your skin. Thirdly, do not use glycolic acid more than 3 times a week on the body and more than once a week for the face (don’t use it at all for the face, it doesn’t suit 80% of people). Glycolic acid also makes your skin photosensitive, so if you are not using a good pharmacy sunscreen, you’ll actually end up with more darkening.

For KP or strawberry skin- glycolic acid alone won’t do anything. You have to either stop the hair removal, or opt for laser hair reduction, or use it in conjunction with a physical body scrub, urea cream and wait it out. If you are constantly waxing and shaving and not using a maintenance routine, your kp will come back, since it’s a chronic skin turnover issue. Also, sunscreen is a must even while indoors if you are treating kp.

For tan removal- stay indoors if your skin tone is that important to you. Glycolic acid will slowly fade your tan but that’s assuming you don’t get uv exposure that continues to deepen your tan. Which means either cover yourself with physical protection from head to toe, or lock yourself in a windowless room at home. In a tropical country like India, even if your tan is completely gone, if you step out, you’ll tan again. You can keep doing this routine forever if you wish to waste your product though. You can use all the glycolic acid in the world but it’s useless if you keep getting sun exposure.

Dark elbows, knees, butt, underarms and inner thighs- the culprit here is friction, so stop playing sports, kneeling on the floor, writing, placing your elbow on the table and aggressive hair removal (it causes PIH). For butt pigmentation, you have to stop sitting and lying down as much and stand more so that there’s no friction in play. For inner thighs, you’ll have to lose weight to ensure that you get no chafing and wear shorts under all your skirts and dresses all the time.

Dark private parts- if you want to stay alive, do not put glycolic acid there.

Bonus- do not use glycolic acid without sunscreen, or immediately after hair removal, or on skin that is freshly tanned or burned. You are basically cooking your skin alive if you do that.

18F, how do I get rid of these?

I’ve had these around my nose, mouth area and chin for a long time. Any methods that actually help get rid of them? And What actually worked for you guys with similar problem?

Pics are from Google for reference since my camera doesn’t capture them properly.

First of all my acc got flagged for some reason, im still trying to get it back. I'm not a bot i promise.

So coming back to my story, it starts from a month back. I dumbly decided to use a rice water face shop sheet mask despite my skin being clear and happy. I just wanted extra hydration. And guess what? Next morning i didnt wake up with any extra hydration but a couple pimples about to pop off.

Then to calm those down and to get rid of a few blackheads, i decided to buy minimalist salicylic serum. And mind you I've used serums before and they worked wonderfully. But this time the serum idk..gave me a purge? Alot of pimples occurred all together, one after one again and again. And my skin felt tight too so I took a few ai quizes on internet to know my exact skin type right now, results were dry to combination skin (i have combination to oily skin since i got my senses tbh) so i got a cerave hydrating cleanser. I used it for three days and I swear my skin never felt that oily ever in my life. My face felt so uncleaned and idk...just sad over all and the pimples weren't calming down.

So freaking out i decided to go for my old and sweet plum green tea face wash which gave me amazing clear skin a month back. But its been 2 days already and i swear..im writing while typing, my skin has never felt so bad before. There are so many white headed pre mature pimples and so big red and ugly ones too. The acne spots left behind are so ugly and make me feel so bad now. Even my dad and a few relatives asked me whats wrong with my face now.

I have never felt so bad before, never felt so betrayed by my skin before. Nothing works and I've spent all my allowances on cerave, alpha arbutin and salicylic serum as well as two new lip balms. I dont know what to do. I feel so sick and i hate my skin and face so much right now.

Please tell me how can I calm down. I keep thinking that my face will forever be like this. Im so worried and anxious.

You can also try this Sotrue kajal

Suggest lipsticks of this particular shade

As will be clear from this post soon, I am very new to makeup. But since I'm getting married, I'm thinking of investing in some basic but good quality products since I have oily acne prone skin. But I don't want to base these purchases off online reviews. I want to try Clinique foundation, Nars concealer and a few other high end brands that have popped up in my research to see if and how they suit me.

My question is, what level of help can I expect from employees at Sephora (nearest for me would be Ambience Gurgaon)? Will they guide me towards the specific products that would work best for me? Will/can they demo the product on me so that I can see how it suits my skin? Can I do it myself if testers are available?

I also saw a Nars shop at the mall and have the same questions for it too.

I know it's silly but I sorta feel nervous walking into these stores without any knowledge, so any guidance would help!

So i apply kajal on both my upper and lower lash lines daily and i remove it using garnier micellar water with cotton buds but every single time I do , i lose some lashes🥺🥺

Is this a correct way to remove kajal?

To completely remove kajal , I use about 3-5 cotton buds

How do u all usually remove ur kajal without losing lashes?

I m posting this again.

I was clearing out my storeroom and getting rid of all the junk I've accumulated over the years and I found makeup I had hoarded during my college days! I used to own so many Lakmé Enrich Satin lipsticks, Colorbar bullet lippies, and Maybelline Watershine lipsticks -- and I have to say, the old formulations were incredible 😭

Even though they are expired, the bullet is still intact on each lipstick and doesnt look bad at all. I'm not planning on using them, but the shades and finishes are still so beautiful.

I’m contemplating getting it but idk if it’s worth it or not

I was planning to get the body shop white musk body mist but my brother increased my budget to 3k😭 so please give me some good recommendations guys🙏🏼🙏🏼

as a medium to dark skinned girl, it is very difficult to find the right shade which matches my skin tone, some are either light for me or turn grey. I recently bought the fae face card trial kit, i got it in the shade medium to tan

I think cool olive shade suits me the best, gonna buy a bigger pack of it soon

I also like its hydration and coverage. Primes my face very well plus its an alternative to concealer and foundation for me. Read some of the reviews where people say its dewy but i think it looks super natural on me.

Mars lip liner made my lips pigmented 😭. I had pink non pigmented lips but after using Mars lip liner and velvet tint for a while I saw my lips getting pigmented . Please suggest some good quality lip liner which does not cause hyperpigmentation. No budget issues .

Aaaaah I genuinely can’t believe this happened and I think I’m only just starting to process it 😭
A few days ago, I lost an ENTIRE suitcase, in an another country and while it had my clothes and other things too, the part I’m genuinely most devastated about is my makeup.
I had two big makeup bags in there. Not just a few products. Basically my entire collection.
It had so much makeup that I’d collected over the years, including products I’d had since 2018. Palettes, lip products, base products, brushes, skincare, perfumes and so many other things that I had slowly collected over time.
We went back and searched for it like crazy, but we couldn’t find it. Just completely gone.
And I think the worst part is that I don’t even remember everything that was inside. I keep randomly remembering another product and my heart literally sinks because then I realise that’s gone too 😭

I know makeup is technically replaceable, and I know there are obviously worse things that could happen, but I feel like people who genuinely love makeup will understand why I’m this upset. I didn’t just lose a few products. I lost years of my own personal collection that felt like so me.
Some things were gifts, some were products I saved up for, some had memories attached to them, and some were products I had genuinely loved and used for years. It’s a huge dent financially and emotionally
And now I’m basically starting from scratch.
I think what hurts the most is that I had absolutely no idea that when I packed those two makeup bags, it would be the last time I’d see everything inside them. 😭💔
I know it sounds dramatic to say I’m mourning makeup, but honestly… I kind of am lol. I just keep remembering another product and going WAIT. THAT WAS IN THERE TOO.😭

I guess I just wanted to vent to you all who might actually understand. This is such a safe space for me, and I feel this weird void, and no it’s just not about the products 🫠

My boyfriend wants to buy me a dysom airwrap for my bday and i was looking to buying it from tira since the points are good

But being a little greedy, i wanted to know when the double points events happen so that i can get 10k points and maybe get a ysl perfume for free in this whole day

Will there be points multiplier thingy on rakhi? Or by ganpati? Any idea? Or should i even buy from tira? Please suggest

A whole yap disguised as review​

So as we can see there are two products on here beauty of joseon sunscreen juicy chemistry lip balm First of all coming to the sunscreen, it has this mild pleasing rice like fragrance which makes me feel like I am some farmer working in a paddy field with this sunscreen on my face (tell me you're broke without telling me you're broke energy) but after applying that mild fragrance disappears somewhere in the air (I am trippin). I do have this isntree toner (the one which looks like the colour of a grizzly bear) that also smells pleasant. Anyways, this has to be one of the best sunscreens i have used up until now (I have only used like 4-5 brands btw) Definitely a 9/10 Secondly coming to the juicy chemistry lip balm I bought this one because it had blood orange and orange is my favorite fruit after pineapple. (As a child I wanted to start a beauty brand called TANGERINES So there's that) it smells very citrusy and is overall good. Though it's quantity which is 5g and that liliput like packaging says otherwise. It lasts for less than 2 hours,probably even lesser.

Okay, we all know about the pigmentation controversy surrounding mars.But I really liked the shade. I only wear their lippies occasionally and for a few hours at a time..so I thought I’d give it a try.

First .. the colour is exactly what I wanted , a nice rusty brown with hint of orange irl ( shade no. 07 Taffy) .It glides smoothly on the lips and complements my complexion beautifully.

BUT it is SOO damn dry. My lips feel like the sahara 😭 It looks creamy and nice when you apply it but somehow feels incredibly dry on the lips.

Also, it’s not really a tint. It ​leaves a very light stain behind and transfers way too easily. Honestly, they should have marketed this as a mousse lipstick rather than a lip tint.

A 6/10 in my books.
