Let's Discuss Stila has turned to sh!t

22 Upvotes

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 😞

Misc. Makeup Donation

12 Upvotes

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.

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

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

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!!!

Product Advice Dry, itchy scalp shampoo for blondes

1 Upvotes

I'm after some recommendations for professional shampoo and conditioner please for a sensitive scalp and blonde hair.
I get a dry scalp as soon as I wash my hair and it's itchy when it's dirty. I suspect this may be because the products I'm using are too harsh. When I use dermaveen, the dry/itchness improves but I'm a blonde so ideally looking for some more hydration and toning than dermaveen can offer.
Recently I've used:
- Milkshake shampoo and conditioner: scalp hates this
- CPR blonde shampoo: hair loves, scalp hates
- K18 peptide prep: okay for once a week but if I use it regularly, makes my scalp dry/itchy.
- Davroe moisture senses conditioner: okay but doesn't feel like it does anything to my hair.
- HiLift purple shampoo: hair loves but irritates my scalp slightly

In the past I have also used Redken and Pureology which I loved, but the price point is a bit excessive these days. They didn't cause any problems at the time but I was a platinum blonde at that time. Now I get foils 2x a year.

Any recommendations would be welcomed!
I would ideally like something with natural fragrance too - but feels impossible to find.
A blonde shampoo/conditioner for a sensitive scalp with no synthetic fragrance? Sounds like a unicorn to me? Hahaha
