@Lexi@octodon.social yeah!! i actually LOVE my canmake stuff. https://www.canmake.com/en/ is their english website as well. for other asian brands i've bought them through yesstyle, which has come through fantastically every time.

also you can get shit like peripera's mini fridge, and this isn't quite no-makeup makeup - i haven't figured out how to work the water tints well honestly LOL - but like. check this shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DM6bNUAxM4 FUUUUCK IT'S MAKEUP IN A TINY FRIDGE FUCK YES

@Lexi@octodon.social they're not too absurd on amazon (which is through the one official reseller of canmake to the US, they are extra proud of this and send every package with that certification plus some goodies, usually a sample) and it's a bit goofy but i. love. their. packaging. it's all very princessy and i ADORE that.

their catalogues also have diagrams of things like... plotting all their blushes in terms of lots of color/sheer color on one axis and staying powder on the other.

@Lexi@octodon.social uuugh yeah. i admit i haven't fully figured out how to conquer my PCOS beard with makeup.

but it's definitely the right season to try that 'no makeup makeup' too! in summer i think everyone goes a little lighter on the makeup anyway.

the one brand i wanted to rec is canmake! they're a japanese brand that is apparently very popular among like college-age kids. i've loved the stuff i've gotten from them - some blushes, stay-on balm lip rouge, lip jam, etc.

so i found a buzzfeed article of "gifs to retire in 2014".

what do y'all recon, a few more years in the cellar before they're of a proper vintage? https://www.buzzfeed.com/jessicamisener/19-gifs-we-should-all-retire-in-2014

@Alyx LOL don't actually feel bad in the least, i am taking a moment to mercilessly make fun of myself

i am a 1950's housewife screaming in absurd terror as she stands on top of the table except there are no mice, there are only chemistry problems

every time hardcore chemistry shows up on my dash i need y'all to imagine me giving a comedic shriek before tossing my laptop away from me in the most hilarious manner possible

@Lexi@octodon.social (also it's an excuse to look at and buy new makeup which is uhhhhhh pretty fun lol)

@Lexi@octodon.social just cruising on by here a second, feel free to tell my cishet ass to gtfo -

maybe it's an opportunity to play with some "no-makeup makeup" :> i know nyx has actually put out some cool stuff along those lines, and a lot of asian beauty follows that ethos (tinted moisturizer and bb creams over foundations, etc).

you could have some fun experimenting with that "you, but better" makeup kinda look and see if the part of brain that wants to yell likes it better?

if anyone needs me, i gotta go have Southern Girl Who Read Too Much Miss Manners In Middle School the vapors,

because a friend just told me that she just saw, at her aunt's funeral, a pageant queen arrive wearing her crown and sash. for the whole thing. to the funeral. the whole fucking funeral. crown. sash. at. at a funeral. a Funeral. A FUNERAL

"harp, did you just delete and redraft that just to shove your nonsense in a tag?"

.... yea

yes, i am, truly, back on my bullshit, having written now two more The Secret World/Secret World Legends style lore entries for #ffxiv characters - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SASpPpX65A--A1olxd6siy40YYd7ce18FTUSXYUFZk4/edit?usp=sharing

also shoutout to google's spellcheck helping me correct miqo'te and ala mhigo, good on you for that though i'm slightly confused how y'all got that in the dictionary

also, as i am writing yet more "profiles for my ffxiv characters written as if they are lore entries from the secret world", i think this officially qualifies as being Back On My Bullshit

me, having no inclination or feelings towards jacklyn hill whatsoever at the beginning of all this, nor any desire to buy any of her products, not having watched any of her videos, yet, nonetheless, enjoying the videos coming out detailing the pandora's box of horrors her lipsticks apparently are:

crucial features i would like in botw2:

-you can just go have a chat with the dragons instead of shooting at them and it's a nice lovely time

-PET DOG BUTTON

@monorail given that his motivation was to wipe so he could go get some chicken, i will gleefully accept this high praise

anyway

at least i have potato chips
