Just wanted to give everyone a head's up but if you're interested in trying fair fashion, People Tree has started their summer stock sale. I don't know what shipping costs are like for the US (for New Zealand they're not cheap but at least they're tracked) but if you're not an UK resident, you do get around 20% off the listed price anyway since you don't pay the VAT.

I feel like anyone who would be interested in this knows already, but in case you don't, Urban Decay is releasing a Game of Thrones collection this month! The general information page on Temptalia is here, and Christine's ranking and links to all of her reviews are here, plus there are swatches all on one page here. Though people were right when they were joking about the palette being another bronze-y eyeshadow palette before photos were released lol

Hi, friends! This month's Allure Box ($10 for the first month, then $15; if you cancel, they'll offer you 4? months at $10) has a full size Sunday Riley vitamin C oil, which is an amazing deal, so I thought I would share: here. That's my referral link, just fyi. The Allure box is pretty consistently A+ --November? had Drunk Elephant and MAC Ruby Woo--though every few months there's a real dud of a box (last month).

so, my therapist and i were chatting about how to be present and appreciate your body yesterday and it got me thinking: what are ways that you like to treat yourself that really make your bod feel good and/or you feel good about your bod? i definitely think that things like a recent haircut + my love of skincare really help me tap into present-ness, but i'm real bad about doing that from snoot to tip and would love to hear about what you think about that. whether it's shaving your legs so they're smooth criminals or massages or bubble baths, i'm all ears!

hi! I'm just posting to let everyone who loves skincare know that Sephora is currently selling their a few of their past Play! boxes for $10 each, but specifically Box H at this link has a 15 ml sample of the Drunk Elephant babyfacial. It's actually a really decent sized sample and will last you awhile. Babyfacial is probably my holy grail skincare item because my face feels so soft after I use it.

So post two babies and being a momnivore (ie, eating all my food plus what the kids don't) and antidepressants and, you know, life in general, none of my clothes fit anymore. So today I'm going to treat myself and am doing this personal shopping thing Nordstrom has to get a few work pieces so that I can start looking like an adult again. And Kati suggested using non-rp comms again, so here I am sharing with you!

I'm excited! And nervous! What if I don't like anything and nothing flatters me? What if I feel pressured to buy something that I don't really like? What if I fall in love with something that is out of my price range?

Hopefully it'll be good. Fingers crossed! I can share how it goes if people are interested.

Hello! Does anyone have any favorite eyeliners for achieving a nice cat-eye look? I'm trying to force myself out of my comfort zone, but I don't have any eyeliner that can really get that nice sharp look.

Thank you for any recommendations!

this is the first year in a lot of years that i've been good enough about saving to spend guilt free during this extra commercial season, so what are you hauling this year? what are you planning to haul? i went full indulgent and bought some new perfumes, some skincare shit and like pins because who am i? please indulge with me, i'll be really lonely if i'm the only irresponsible spender.

buttttt if black friday's not in the books for you this year, what would you have hauled? where did you window shop??

Jumping off from the last post, so I got the Naked Heat palette awhile ago when Sephora had the one-day early release for it, but I've been interested in getting one of the regular Naked palettes for years now, but I'm not sure which one? I'm trying to decide between Naked 1 or Naked 2 (Naked 3 is pretty, but wouldn't work for my warm, possibly olive skintone), but they look really similar to me, so I'm not sure which one is better? I heard Naked 1 is warmer than Naked 2, but yeah, idk.

What about the smaller Naked Basics palettes? Are those better value if you don't wear eyeshadow that often anyway?

on baths and skincare! [18th Mar. 2017 • 10:40]

hey, my fellow dudes! so, due to equal parts bitter cold and sad panda-ing throughout the winter, i've really gotten into baths right now as my ritual of self-care. and whereas before, i felt gross about it because Why Sit Around In Your Body Stews, now i'm really feeling positive about it – i can lean back, watch some seeso on my ipad while i get clean, drink a beverage that may or may not be alcoholic depending on my mood, and it gets me all cozy around the bod before sinking into dreamland. bonus: i can wear masks during the first part of just soaking and having my muscles relax, and it's just good stuff. (guys: do you have any recs for a drugstore exfoliating mask that's good? like, i'd love to say that i'm okay for getting something a lil more ulta or sephora-y, but not in the budget right now.)

so, my question for you guys: what's your favorite bath or shower-time products? i've been falling in love with anything dr. teal's lately; specifically, their pink himalayan bubble bath has been my HUGE JAM. there's also these bath truffles sold at my local coop that dissolve into these amazing oils, which kinda got me into the entire bath thing in the first place. ironically, when i was living in minneapolis and near a lush, i hated the idea of a bath – but then again, i was also sharing a bathroom with two other people and the tub was gross, so lmao of course i wasn't about that life. ulta has been shilling these faux bath bombs, but i'm really nervous about anything that might make my skin angry – such is life when you have super sensitive skin and it's getting used to a much drier climate. #yikes

i've also been chasing after a good body wash – dr. bronner's seems to be the ticket, although i've been anxious to shell out $15 for it. (I KNOW. I KNOW!! BEING CHEAP IS REAL.) i think i'm gonna go ahead and do it, though, so if anyone has any scent recommendations, i'm here for 'em. lotion after your bath is also REAL LIFE, and i'm really partial to the vaguely shea butter-y ones – st. ives's has been crushing it for me lately! before i moved, i finally finished my body shop super-duper thick shea butter one, #restinpeace. it would've been so good for this weird itchy patch/rash i had on my ribs this winter!! (from – YOU GUESSED IT – a bubble bath dude i tried that wasn't nice!!)

anyway idk, let's talk about how baths/showers make us nice in the comments?? IF YOU WANT TO, i'm not your mom. and let me know if you want any DIY bath stuff too – one of my favorite books in the whoooole world has an entire section devoted to how baths can make you beautiful all over, and i love it! weirdly, it's on the top shelf of my bookshelf right now and i regret this hugely. but yes. skin! body care! bath time! shower shit! all that jazz, let's talk it out!

IDK if anyone still capes for American Apparel in this era -- I remember it peaking in the late-2000s when I was in university, and then all the creeper stuff -- but if you're into their clothes, the company's gone bankrupt, so they're closing down their stores and everything is on sale!

I feel like the sale has been going on for months in Canada now, so there's nothing left up here anywhere unless you want neon tights and disco~ pants in XXS, but it sounds like American stores only just started as of last Friday with the buy-out announcement? IDK. If you're not into clothes, I know they were selling wooden hangers for 2/$1 up here, along with mannequins, store fixtures, computer paper, etc. if you need any of that.

So the first Uniqlo store in Canada is opening this Friday, and I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions on what they like (or, alternatively don't like) there! The only things from the brand I own so far were bought second-hand from thrift stores and I liked them enough that I'd consider buying more basics from them at least.

Is there anything there that's a 'you must get it from them and not anyone else' sort of item? Is the HeatTech stuff any good? Anything to avoid outright? etc., any opinions on anything are cool, thanks!
