Makeup and Beauty

[MissDucki]

@Poptart, Yes I do!

Blushes
1.) ARTDECO Blushes- I really like their blushes. Very pigmented and great for different tones. Number 18- Beige Rose blush is my all time favorite. I like it because it is great for both blush and contour.
2.) Maybelline Cheek Heat- Great cheap liquid/gel blush. Very pigmented so a little goes a long way and it blends well. You don't need a brush if you don't want to. You just need to be a little careful for not overdoing it. Easily found at the drugstore too.
3.) The Balm blushes- I have never heard much about this brand but, they have really good blushes. Pigmented, great colour selection and they last a long time. The Cindy-lou Maninizer was my go to blush for a long time before I have to get rid of it because it was so old. They can be a bit expensive but they have like a site wide half-off event once/twice a year.
4.) Nars Blushes- Cult classics. I know a lot of people like the Orgasm blush but I prefer the Deep Throat blush personally.
5.) Milani Luminoso- Another cult classic. Milani has a smaller range of blushes but are all beautiful.

Honorable mentions that I have not tried but people swear by: Rare beauty blushes, Glossier cloud paint blushes, tarte blushes, Kaja blushes.

Bronzers

1.) Mac Bronzing Powder- It's been my got too as its not too dark or light for me. It is more luminous and I prefer that for my bronzers.
2.) Marc Jacobs Luminous Bricks- Okay, so this is one of my favorite bronzers but, it is being discontinued due to Marc Jacobs Beauty ending their makeup contract so they are trying to sell off remaining stock right now. I know a lot of people really rave about thier bronzer's in general. Right now, I know a lot of their stuff is half off.
3.) Benfit Bronzers- People swear by the Hoola bronzer. It is a good matte bronzer. I really like it but,I am not a huge fan when it comes to matte and last time I bought it, the shade range was much smaller. Benifit also has really good blushes too. I have never tried them personally, but I have heard good things.
4.) Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer- Really great! sheer and more so matte. You kinda need to work at it but it is beautiful! It is scented so if you don't like scent then I would not recomend. It is considered a cult classic and was big back in the day.

Honorable mentions that I have not tried but people swear by: Nars Bronzer and the Fenty Bronzer.

Do not buy the Iconic London Sheer Liquid Bronzer, its been one of the few makeup regrets I have had in a long time of buying. The undertone is strange and it's awkward to use.

Hope this helps!

Omg this is amazing! I’ve had the hoola bronzer forever, but I’m getting kind of bored with it and want to try something new. I’m gonna look for the Mac one you mentioned and also pick up a couple of the maybeline blushes this weekend. Thank you

I’ve been wearing a tinted moisturizer (Pur 4-in-one tinted moisturizer LN2) and just mascara, concealer, and burts bees lipstick everyday lately. So when I put on actually makeup with eye liner, blush, eyeshadow, I feel like I look like a total clown and want to take it off immediately. It’s really weird. Idk at this point if I can go back.

but I’ll tell you all what, I’ve tried a ton of lipsticks l, jelly’s, whatever, and this burts bees lipstick in blush basin is my new favorite

Pulling it up cause I would like some recommendations. If anyone knows a really good jasmine perfume, let a girl know. I have the perfume Alien and I love it. But I’ve been drinking heavily perfumed jasmine tea and I want to drench myself in it lol. If anyone has some really good personal recommendations cause I’ve been googling and been feeling a bit luke warm about some stuff that I have seen. Thank you~

@MissDucki

I've liked the perfume Flower Bomb by marc jacobs. idk if it's compatible with your body chemistry though or anything but I've smelled that on a woman before and I liked it a lot. But did I like it cuz me and marc are both gay??? Does it really attract a str8 man??? I'm curious if a straight man would have liked it as well or if they thought it smelled awful lol. I notice that it was kind of 'strong' but I liked that. I didn't find it too overpowering though. I kinda wish more straight men would get involved in the perfume industry though - cuz I would think a straight man would know better than how a woman should smell compared to a gay man who is usually more into smelling jockstraps & man smells than womanly flower scents. The bias to make it stronger and drag queen-ish might be too much and we should have more str8 males to make more natural, truly feminine smells.

Can somebody list perfumes made by HETEROSEXUAL males please. Come on there's gotta be one straight guy that did this right?

*crickets chirp*

Come on...

I tried to google 'perfumes made by heterosexual males' and nothing came up really. Just ads for perfume but idk if they were made by straight men. Stupid stereotypical world, there has to be one...

[MissDucki]

@BandD Thanks for the recommendation BandD! I shall give it a sniff when I go to the mall tomorrow and see if they have it at sephora. I have tried daisy but not flower bomb I think.

Also LOL! A lot of heterosexual men liked my Black Opium perfume the most. It is a beautiful scent but, it doesn't feel like MY scent ya know? It's nice if they like it but, I want to feel myself wrapped in a jasmine scent cause jasmine reminds me of ivory and a goddess that is both elegant, sensual, earthy, sexy, and respected and that my vibe I want to get It's just a plus if they fall to their knees when they smell me LMAO

[Shazaam]

@MissDucki

I'm not sure flower bomb is really all that jasmine-y or even has jasmine in it but still try it out and tell me what you think! Even if you found it horrible I'm curious to hear your opinion. It smelled good on another woman but I think she might be NF & not SF although I don't know for sure. Maybe there's something to type and the right kind of perfume?

[MissDucki]

Yo @BandD, just got back from shopping and I was able to get a sniff of the Flowerbomb and it is BEAUTIFUL. I do plan on getting a roller ball of it for sho. It does have jasmine and it was my favorite out of all the ones I sniffed. For me, I think it is missing a more woody note that I need so I think I am going to layer it with something and go from there. Thanks for the recommendation 100%

[Shazaam]

@MissDucki

omg yaaay I'm so glad you like it! See, told you! Another straight woman's life was improved with my stereotypical gay male super powers. <3 <3 <3

And yeah I know what you mean about the lack of woodsy notes - I'm sure you can improve it by making it more sensor like or something.

Any suggestions for a woody note?

[Robert Dane Horlock]

I steal my Mom's perfume sometimes and it's very neutral, so it works. It smells good, and is strong.

[necrosebud]

I prefer not to wear perfume but if I had to pick - floral/citrusy notes

[MissDucki]

Any suggestions for a woody note?

I really liked Eros flame, but its more of a men's cologne I think lol. I have worn it and like the scent. I'll try layering it with that one. That one is a more woody note. Ma Dame by Jean Paul Gaultier is a woody note as well. Edit: I really like Good Girl by Carolina Herrera while It is floral it does have a lot of musky base notes

[MissDucki]

My Perfumes that I wear the most:

1. Black Opium
2. Alien by Mugler
3. Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier
4. Eros Flame Versace

I'm not a perfume wearer usually, but I finally found one I like and wear sometimes. It's called White Vetiver and anyway, looked up the guy who made it just now, and he's straight, and his wife makes perfumes too. Isaac Sinclair from New Zealand.

[necrosebud]

I have this one here, the small one with bow/mickey mouse ears - from years ago, and it smells like sandalwood (and other stuff), overall it smells great to me https://www.walmart.com/ip/Elizabeth...eces/472262969

• Top Notes : Living Amazon Lily, Neroli Bigarade, Aldehydes Composition, Tagette Oil
• Mid Notes : Tuberose, Living Jasmin, Living Narcisse Rose, Muquet Des Bois
• Base Notes : Amber, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Sandalwood Mysore

it smells soooo good. I didn't realize I owned a good perfume..

[Giordano Bruno]

Wow, all of the stuff that polka dots and lipstick smothers Your fancy and teddy bear dreams for cushions and soul snatching.

[MissDucki]

My favorite thread tbh.

Okay! I re bought the Naked 2 mini palette. Its a cool tone palette and I really like the colours. The formula is okay imo BUT! The colour scheme is fantastic for me. If you like cool tones and muted browns, I would recommend in investing. I had it back in the day and it was my most used when I was younger. I am over warmer browns now as they don't really go with my complexion as much. Plus, its easy to make a nice smokey eye with them.

I have gotten into more hair stuff lately. I really like AG Hair. Their stuff smells great. I also bought some hair oil from the brand VERB. So let's how that goes.

I haven't had many "to die for" beauty hits at the moment. The only somewhat new one was this concealer palette that I really like from a canadian brand.

I have tried a lot of tatcha products but tbh, I am not rally impressed with them. I give it a "meh". I wish I would love them but I don't.

If you guys want a new KP scrub recommendation, I buy a really great scrub from First Aid Beauty that targets KP. I have it on my arms and its getting rough again since its winter. I really like it. I always re-buy for sure.

Does anyone have any good scented lotion recommendations? I usually get mine from bath and body works but I don’t like them anymore. It’s too light, fruity or flowery I’m looking for more warmer and savory scents iykwim.

The Brazilian Bum Bum cream is beautiful but a bit expensive. I’m usually not a big fan of scented lotions but I really loved this one and would purchase it. The only other one I could think of would be Olay as they have some nice scented lotions you can get for cheap.

Say I want to look like a rockstar. What would I put on? Eyeliner?

Just get a cheap Kohl eyeliner, smudge it a little bit and you are golden!

Ladies and Gents….my favourite concealer had been discontinued.

YES! I’ve been using this damn concealer since I was 16 and it’s been my ride or die! Now it’s gone…rip Mac mineralized concealer. You will forever be my favourite

I bought the Rare beauty concealer today to replace my baby. I like it so far. It’s really good size for the price and I like the look of it. It’s radiant and doesn’t crease much. I don’t like the applicator too much but I can adjust. It’s medium/buildable coverage so I am happy about that. I like it…I have gotten a lot of new products lately that I have enjoyed. I just feel bad replacing my ride or dies but…got to make room for the new.

I would recommend it. #MissDuckiApproved

Oh myyy! I hate when things get discontinued like that. My sincerest condolences

[MissDucki]

Inglot Duraline (mixing medium) and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (tacky base) are liquid gold.

Duraline gives you the ability to turn any powder into a waterproof liquid (creating different colors of eyeliner, thinning out foundation) and reviving dried out products.

Pixie Epoxy is a tacky adhesive base for sparkly eyeshadows and glitter.

You’re my new Make-up up buddy for recommendations!

Looking fancy and sharp is so essential and special of a dream occasion for many to be marine biologists and hunters of the healing plasma.

Anyone tried castor oil on lashes/brows?

TFW the same thing that offers explosive diarrhea makes your eyelashes grow too

[MissDucki]

I have not though I am not really interested. I would suggest maybe getting them done if you want to try out some longer lashes for awhile.

[born2simp]

Not defending castor oil but hot sauce makes me enjoy the food but I sure as hell won't put it on my eyes.

This is the most important Te tidbit I’ve ever learned

[Aquamarine]

Anyone tried castor oil on lashes/brows?

I have. It works(for eyelashes, I don't know if there's been a difference on my eyebrows) but you have to keep up with it which I don't.

[MissDucki]

Well…I’m going on a no buy/only replacement buy now. I got VIB rouge this year at Sephora….not good…ANYWAYS My 2021 bests!

-Physicans formula ultra fine liquid liner
-ILIA lengthening mascara
-Benifit brow gel
-Lise Watier concealer pallet
-ABH brow wiz
-Dior Face and Body primer
-Mac mineralize skin finish/ Cheeky Bronze
-VERB Ghost oil

[MissDucki]

Are Huda Beauty eye shadow palettes supposed to be good?

Ive heard they are good. I haven’t tried them personally, so I can’t give my own critique. But I know they are considered a cult favourite for some. I have tried some of Huda Beauty stuff and I have liked the quality thus far.

I recently had moles removed from my face and I feel like my appearance has been significantly improved. Before, I had to use a ton of foundation on my face, which was especially difficult in the heat. Now I'm free of that=) Btw, I got my moles removed at http://www.visageclinic.com/cosmetic-surgery/facelift/. I love doing makeup, but I prefer that kind of natural look, which was impossible because of the foundation and piles of concealer. A lot of people here write about dark lipsticks - I used to love them too, but now prefer gently pink and beige shades.

[born2simp]

Cool first post, hope you don’t remove it.

Did they let you keep the moles and take them home for playing with? That way if you ever miss having them you can glue them back on your face as an accessory.

[persimmonism]

Mugler did something right with Alien and its flankers.

[Aster]

Last trip to Sephora, I smelled every perfume they had.

I usually get Coco Chanel Mademoiselle, but I love smelling perfumes and finding new good ones!

I found two I loved

Mon Paris by YvesSaintLaurent

&

Libre by YSL

I also loved YSL Black Opium until my 13 yo daughter mentioned it was musky or masculine or something, and then I was completely turned off after I realized she was right

sooo yeah I guess I like YSL perfume a lot

I don’t get grossed out that much, but that might be the grossest post I’ve ever seen on this site. Lol

My favorite is Mon Paris Intensement. It’s like Mon Paris but with a rose undertone.

Oooohhh I don’t think I tried that one. I think they just had one spray out for Mon Paris and it was the light pink one. That looks like it’s in a dark purple or magenta colored bottle. If I see it anywhere, I’ll have to try it!

I found it at Macy’s! It’s more of a beautiful bright pink/magenta color.
