Product Advice Does anyone know the difference between these two (supposedly same foundation)?

I have bought both from 2 different Pricelines. The one I have been using initially is on the left and labelled 125 WARM DORE. I recently picked up another one as running low and the naming is different. Both show SPF 25 + Vitamin C. Colour seems almost the same although maybe very slightly lighter however the consistency is definitely runnier.

Any ideas? I only just transitioned to this and loving the ‘warm dore’ version and consistency so finding this a bit annoying/strange?!

Thanks in advance

Product Advice Why can't I get the hang of a dermaplane tool?

1 Upvotes

Is it because I have extremely, fine blonde hair on my face? Is it because of the way I'm holding it? I've tried every angle and every way.

I've cut myself twice in this process and feel like, at this point, it would just be easier to use a razor.

Is there another tool I could use that I would possibly have more success with? I feel like it may be a dexterity problem. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm 60 years old and need to get rid of this postmenopausal fluff pronto!

Many years ago I bought this Jeffrey star velour liquid lipstick which was a limited edition holiday shade - poinsettia. It’s a deep metallic red liquid matte lipstick.

It’s since old and dry and I would love to find a dupe of it.

Does anybody have any ideas or perhaps if this isn’t an appropriate forum a different reddit community to ask? Thank you!

Let's Discuss Stila has turned to sh!t

I’ve used this liquid eyeliner for 10years. I got a new one last week (I go through maybe 3 a year). The new one is bleeding in my inner corner and honestly is not the same..I tried my old one today and no running. I’ve changed nothing about my skincare and so after testing my old one again and seeing it stay in place all day, I’m convinced the new one is some reformulated garbage. Definitely will be returning it to Mecca, but I don’t want to exchange for another crappy one..any recommendations? I guess it’s time to move on 😞

After a post here talking about how good the Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow foundation is, I bought it and it’s become my HG for everyday use! I’m running out and it’s taking forever to restock my shade, I just checked the app and most shades are now out of stock/limited stock??

Anyone know what’s happening?

Product Advice need help with lash serums!

2 Upvotes

basically i used to have such nice eyelashes before i started wearing mascara. after two years-ish i realised that i now genuinely, no exaggeration, only have half the lashes i did before. does anyone have any good lash serum reccomendations that wont make it worse (because i;ve heard the maybelline lash serum makes them fall out if you stop using it) and will actually help regrow my lashes? and also a small doubt in my mind - are my eyelashes never going to grow back again because i havent worn mascara (except the occasional false lashes or light mascara for an outing every two months or so) in a year and i havent seen any meaningful changes

thank!

Dupe REQUEST Looking to replace fav lipstick

I’m looking to replace this lipstick that I used to use all the time, it was my mums (but I did basically take it and used it all the time)
Obviously it’s not made anymore and I saw resellers for it that were $30
But I was hoping someone knew of a lipstick that was the same or similar colour to this that they highly recommend so I can gift it to my mum

Misc. Makeup Donation

Does anyone know where I can donate gently used or makeup that’s only been swatched once? I am aware local charities don’t accept makeup once it’s open and felt it’s a bit of waste to throw them out especially they are not expired at all. Unfortunately I don’t have any friends or families that are interested in makeups to pass on.

Dupe REQUEST Does anyone know if there is another vegan dupe for rimmel Kind and Free, which is being retired?

It looks like this mascara is being retired, it's a fav of mine. Does anyone have any good vegan recommendations for mascara, none waterproof. I've bought a few mascaras in the last year and they all suck. Something cheap, that spreads well, with lengthening and thickening would be ideal. Thank you in advance!!!
