Arc: Rise and Rise Again

Issue 13 - Strive to Become

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
The third year on the island. Oliver Queen and Freddie Tuck had become masters of their individual tasks. Oliver was a hunter — using spears, traps and stealth he could capture any prey. His aim was impeccable. It had to be, after all. Sometimes they had to rely on the small critters of the forests and the beach, so he had to be precise and quick about killing. Freddie was a builder — he built the traps, repaired their homes, crafted weaponry and pieces of furniture for comfort. The man had lost quite a bit of weight at that point and had built some muscle to replace it.
It was their third anniversary of arriving on the island. And the two friends proposed a toast to new beginnings. They had just expanded quite a bit deeper into the jungles. Their homes were larger. They had paths and systems of coverings in place for ease of guidance to and from their abodes, whether it was to the beach or deeper into the trees. They had systems of pulleys and makeshift buckets for ease of access to sources of fresh water on the island. Additionally they had constructed a way of purifying any water they retrieved from the ocean as well as large containers to gather rainwater.
The night was cold but they sat in a warm aura of a fireplace between their homes, where they had cleared away some trees in the center. They had finished setting up their traps and had weapons at the ready for any wild animals that may smell the delicious cooking fish and rodent that rested over the flames. One of the greatest discoveries of this island was cacao. They had saved much of it as a delicacy and with various berries they created some delicious warm fruity drink to go along with it. Something they didn’t do much. But tonight was a night of celebration. An honoring of how far they’ve come.
Oliver rose his makeshift cup, smiling at Freddie across the fire pit.
“To life,” Freddie said.
“And to hope,” Oliver said. “It’s what has kept us going this far. And we’re still here.”
They both drank deeply of the pulpy, warm berry flavored drink. They each had a bowl of cacao fruit to snack on while they prepared their main meal. They would eat much in celebration with some left over for breakfast tomorrow. And they decided they would share their plans for when they got off the island. It wasn’t something they discussed much, but it was something they held onto tightly. Despite their contentedness on the island, that was only due to misfortune. They had no choice. But to survive with purpose is what kept them getting up in the cold early hours each morning to put in the enormous amounts of work it required to live.
“God damn,” Freddie said, looking at his cup. “We really perfected this I think.”
“Reducing the blackberries was a good choice,” Oliver admitted. “We have plenty more in the jug, my friend.”
“Of course. Tonight we feast, buddy. And I’m just going to go ahead and pretend there’s alcohol in this.”
Oliver laughed. “Alcohol… wow, remember that?”
“How could I ever forget? Maple whiskey on the rocks during a cold winter’s day… A nice, classic hoppy beer while my pals enjoyed their fancy drinks at some expensive bar.” He chuckled. “I want to go back to it. And I don’t at the same time.”
“I know how you feel.” Oliver drank and thought of his father’s legacy. His life among endless money and zero cares back in Star City. He squeezed the cup, recalling all the times he had taken advantage of others because of his influence. “You still thinking about traveling, then?”
Freddie nodded and stretched. “Oh, you know it.” He sniffed and poured himself more of the fruity beverage. “Even if I have to go it alone.” He paused for a while. “My girl wouldn’t join me. Hell, even I wouldn’t join me if I went back to the world and met who I was a few years ago. But that’s okay.” He spat to the side. “Fuck money, man. I don’t want it. Everything we’ve done here… everything you and I have been through. God, how many people have been through this right under my nose in the city?” He shook his head. “If we get out of this —”
“When,” Oliver reminded him.
Freddie looked up at him and smiled slowly. “That’s right. When. When we get out of this I’m using my money to help others. I’ll use what’s left over to travel and help whoever I can wherever I go. When I run out I’ll settle down. Countryside. Farm. Gotta tell you, I’ve gotten used to this whole manual labor thing.”
They both laughed and poured themselves more to drink. Some of the fish was ready so Oliver got up to pull some off the stick onto some large leaves they would eat off of.
“And you,” Freddie said. “You’re still thinking of taking over your father’s business.”
Oliver nodded. “But not for the reasons I wanted to before.” He handed Freddie some food and sat down with his own. “I want to take this wealth and keep it. But use it for others.” Oliver shook his head and took a bite of the hot food. “I’m scared I might fall back into old habits. But I need to try. Because this world requires money to live. So as long as I have the resources… I can do the most good.”
Freddie nodded. “Makes sense, Ollie. Makes sense.”

They heard a loud snap from within the deep jungle, beyond the shadows, hidden from the moonlight. Oliver straightened up and looked.
“Probably just a branch falling,” Freddie said.
But that was when the arrows started to fly.
⬨⬦ ➣ ⬦⬨

PRESENT DAY

⬨⬦ ➣ ⬦⬨
Oliver Queen had many things to take care of. Such was the burden of all heroes. But right now, there was the girl and he could take care of that. He hoped.
Hope was all he could carry in his heart these days. Hope that he would see his sister again. Hope that he would reunite with his mother. Hope that Queen Industries could do some real good and make some real change in Star City — and hopefully, from there, the rest of the world.
He tumbled and took a rest at a rooftop. But what good could he really do? He asked himself that sometimes. He unhooked his bow and looked down at it. There were real powerhouses in this world. Real metahumans who could save hundreds in a single swoop — who could destroy anyone with a single flick of their wrist. Oliver Queen was just some guy with a bow and arrow, who happened to also have way too much money at his disposal. That was his real power and he knew it, no matter how much he wished it weren’t so. It wasn’t his fighting prowess or his skill at marksmanship — it was his wealth.
He closed his eyes and breathed slowly. It was an unfortunate reality but he had to make the most of it. For this city. For Dinah. For Freddie. And… well, for himself and his family. The world was unfair and, to some, Oliver Queen was as powerful as Superman. To the impoverished of this city, people with the wealth of the Queen family could do whatever they wanted.
“That’s right,” Oliver said at that realization. “I can do whatever I want.” He hooked his bow to his back and continued on his way, running fast. “I can change things. I can change myself.” He was born with a power, just like these metahumans were. He could use it for selfishness — or he could use it for others. The choice was obvious. The only hard part was fulfilling the mission in his heart.

Dinah Lance, suited up as Black Canary, delivered a powerful kick to the mugger who promptly dropped the purse and fell to grovel and cry like a frightened child. She swiped the purse and tossed it to the woman who stood timidly behind her. She winked and gave a thumbs up as the woman laughed nervously and rushed off.
Dinah knelt down and secured the thief’s wrists with some rope and moved him to lean against the side of the building, calling up the police on her flip phone so they could take care of him.
As she waited, her thoughts were fixed on the rise of criminals with strange tech in the city. The man she and Ollie had fought earlier had seemingly come out of nowhere. Equipped like nothing she or Ollie with all his connections had ever seen before. And he wasn’t the only one. Police had been dealing with these kinds of people over and over again. High tech armor, weaponry and acting as if they’ve been dropped somewhere to cause some mayhem. All of them are inexperienced and only a challenge because of what they carried with them… which was most certainly given to them.
She crossed her arms and knew Ollie was about to stumble upon this secretive, elusive organization. It wouldn’t put an end to them and she feared for his safety. But perhaps they would get a little further in their hunt and investigation.
“Excuse me.” The voice came from behind and Dinah looked over her shoulder. She saw a figure, cloaked in black. A young woman’s voice came from within the hood. And where it didn’t cover her face, there was a dark mask to conceal her features.
“Hello,” Dinah said carefully, ready to counter anything this stranger planned to do to her.
“You’re Black Canary,” the young, disguised woman said. “Which means you know Green Arrow.” She spoke steadily. Sure of herself. “I have information for you. If you’d like to hear what I have to say.”
Dinah turned around and tilted her head, eyeing this person with suspicion and slight amusement. “I do love to learn,” she said. “Do you have a name?”
The stranger’s head rose a bit and she placed her hands into the deep pockets of her cloak. “You can call me Gadget. My Father worked for the criminal underground you and all the police are so desperately trying to apprehend.”
Dinah lowered her arms and paid much more attention to her. “What do you have for me, Gadget?”
She stepped forward and Dinah backed away an inch. “I have names. It’s the best I can give to you. But perhaps with your and Mr. Arrow’s connections you can do something more with them.” A cold wind gusted past them and Dinah nodded. “The man in charge calls himself Richard Dragon. Not his real name, of course.” She looked down. “He is a powerful, ruthless man. Don’t assume he wants anything more than power. He will kill anyone in his way. He will do whatever it takes to gain more power in this city.” She looked up and Dinah saw her eyes for a moment. A deep green. Full of sadness. “I only know two others. One who goes by Brick… I do not know his name. But the last I do know.” She took another step forward and said it with deep, deep distaste and hatred. “Emiko Queen.”
Dinah reeled back but did her best to catch herself. Queen? She had never heard of anyone named Emiko in Ollie’s life. There couldn’t have been a relation there… but she also didn’t know of many other Queens besides Oliver’s, admittedly mysterious, family.
The stranger tilted her head. “You seem to be struck even more silent by that final name.”
Dinah collected herself and smiled. “I’m just impressed you have a real name for me… that is if you’re telling me the truth.”
“I have no reason to lie to you, Black Canary. I want these criminals stopped. And I will help however I can. But… I can’t stay in one place for too long.” She seemed to glance to the side, down an alleyway for a moment before looking back to Dinah. From within her cloak she produced two small orbs. “I have to go now. I will find you again. Please relay this information to Green Arrow.” She dropped the devices and Dinah prepared to defend herself.
In the next blink, the entire area was filled with smoke as the orbs burst. Dinah flipped backward and raised her fists, preparing herself. Waiting.
When the smoke cleared, she was alone with the mugger she had intercepted moments before.
She lowered her arms and heard sirens approaching. After a few final looks around her, to make sure that girl was really gone, she rushed off and used her grappling hook to get out of the area and up onto a nearby building.
⬨⬦ ➣ ⬦⬨
Oliver followed the information he and Dinah were given by the police and rushed to where this young Arrowette had gone to. For ease of travel, he ran to a private garage in the city and leaped into one of his many… dare he call it… Arrowcars that he had hidden away in the city. It was fast, sleek and got him to the abandoned, dark police station where the tragedy of one Officer Marcy Money occurred not very long ago.
He got out of the vehicle, equipped his bow and eased his way up the path, through the woods and toward the warehouse up ahead where these criminals were once held out in… until it exploded and left no more clues to follow.
Hope was what Oliver held onto as he ran. He wasn’t far behind this girl so he knew he would find her. He shouted her name for good measure. Through the trees — as he ran across an open field — as he explored the empty, vast remnants of the warehouse. And he entered the next patch of trees, calling for the amateur hero, hoping to see her alive. Hoping to meet her. Hoping to learn more about her and put an end to her dangerous goals.
As he slowly entered the trees he could clearly see the aftermath of a battle. Arrows were lodged into tree trunks, snapped and restless on the forest floor. Some of them professionally made. Many of them were clearly made by hand but well crafted. He lifted one and nodded, impressed. Well, if anything he could probably give the kid one thing — she seemed to be pretty skilled for as far as that compliment could go.
Much to his horror he found blood on the ground among the grass and dirt. Rope that had been cut away, wrapped loosely around a tree. Was someone restrained here? He did his best to find some leads as to where this fight could have gone to…
…and he quickly received an answer.
An explosion echoed across the sky, shaking his bones. He whirled around and through the gaps in the trees he saw something bright rise up in the distance. Far but powerful enough to be heard and felt from this distance. He rushed through the trees and at the treeline he could see beyond the hills and the next neighborhood over, a large fire on the horizon, spreading and growing high into the sky.
What on Earth…?
Hope, he reminded himself. It was all he had. Even among that mysterious destruction, whatever caused it, and whoever might have been within its vicinity… he had to hold onto hope. It was all that separated a life of potential from a life of desperation on an island made of pain and loss.

Better Late Than Never: Some Sixteen92 Fall Scent Reviews

Alright y’all, I know it’s a little late, but hey, technically it’s still fall! So here, we go -- some Sixteen92 fall perfume reviews!
After hearing good things about Sixteen92 in general and specifically their fall collection releases, I decided that I’d sample their Memento Mori collection, a couple of Falloween Greatest Hits, and one extra from their Mysterious & Spooky collection (because Querida just sounded too me to pass up). Spoiler alert, I was not disappointed by anything I sampled.
I have sampled these a few times over the past month, because I really wanted to understand these perfumes instead of just hacking out a review and sending it into cyberspace. As always, I use little goth hearts to rate these, and give a trophy to the truly exceptional ones that I believe will hold a special place in my collection. Another reason this took a while was because I am trying to make an effort to be choosy when it comes to giving things a trophy. After all, not everything you like can be a holy grail!
Without further ado, on to the reviews!
Mina Harker
Cold jasmine tea, ripe plum, black violets, pale skin musk
I blind bought this in a 6ml size based on the notes, because they just sounded right up my alley. Big musk vibes! Though the musk is mentioned at the end of this list, it is very prominent, as is the jasmine. The musk in this actually reminds me of Serge Lutens’ Muscs Koublai Khan, though this perfume has significantly less longevity and sillage.
I chose this one thinking it was going to be delicate and ethereal, so I was very surprised when I first smelled it. Wet, this is all musk and slightly dirty jasmine. The dry down, however, is much better. It morphs into a sort of “your skin but better” scent, as the musk settles in and the plum and violets come through.
Returning to this scent after a couple weeks, it seems like a much more delicate, clean musk now than it did when I first sampled it. It is particularly nice layered over HoG’s Cozy Sweater lotion. It actually really reminds me of White Shoulders dusting powder, which I adore (probably due to the jasmine note), but that tea note takes it to a whole new level. It is a very sophisticated, ladylike scent. Glad I full sized this. The dry down is just so worth the wait and so timeless. You probably won’t like this if you don’t like florals, and definitely won’t like this if you don’t like musks. Another note: I could definitely see this going “grandma” on some people, but I just love it.
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Querida
Blood red roses, Ceylon cinnamon, smouldering resins, sensual golden amber, and an ethereal swirl of opium
I’m kicking myself for not getting the full size of this. When I ordered this, I was worried that it was going to be too spicy/incense-y for my taste, but this is not so. In fact, I adore the cinnamon/opium note in this! The rose note is prominent, but it blends so well with everything that the overall impression is just so lovely and unique. This is coming from someone who has made it her personal mission to sample every single rose fragrance ever.
Honestly, this is the perfect fall rose scent.
Returning to this after a couple weeks: Still absolutely amazing. Am I the only one who wishes fall was year-round? I can’t get over how this is just the most perfect spooky rosy incense scent. I still wish I would have full-sized this.
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🏆

We’re Werewolves, Not Swearwolves!
Ambroxan, trampled moss, soft tonka, boozy vanilla, smashed pumpkin, black coffee, acid-washed denim, wild grey musk
After reading quite a few mentions of this, I of course had to try it. Wet on the skin, the coffee is very strong, with a bit of pumpkin and spice… very much a PSL! Through the dry down, the coffee chills out a bit and allows some of the other notes to come through, most notably a fuzziness that is probably the tonka. I can smell the musk on the edge of this, giving it a comforting feel. I definitely see why this is so popular, as it is definitely a cozy, warm scent that is easy to wear.
Returning to this scent a couple weeks later, it’s still surprisingly good. I never in a million years thought I would enjoy a pumpkin coffee perfume so much, but the whole experience, especially the dry down, is just so unique to me. This is definitely one that has been on my mind quite a bit since I first smelled it, so it seems like something I will periodically reach for. The dry down is truly amazing, and makes my eyes just roll back in my head. The coffee plays so, so nicely with the musk and vanilla, lending this perfume a very fuzzy, comforting quality that takes it over the top. I can't even stress enough how much I love this perfume.
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🏆

Cimitiere du Pere Lachaise
Faded lipstick, moss-covered brick, hazy morning fog, discarded petals, packed dirt, chestnut wood, distant chimney smoke
When first applied, the mineral quality of this (the moss-covered brick?) is pretty strong, but rather quickly that faded lipstick note comes through. I am a huge sucker for lipstick notes in perfumes, and I don't know why… not to mention I have no idea how perfumers manage to imbue their scents with this note.
This actually reminds me a bit of Two Cups from D&F but way better (Two Cups was not a win for me). The chestnut wood mitigates the sharpness of the mineral brick note, and the lipstick note gives this more depth and complexity. This is definitely atmospheric and edgy but wearable. The dry down is just so nice.
I love how atmospherics can just instantly teleport you to a specific time and place. For example, this takes me to a brisk fall morning downtown right after sunrise, the dampness of the night before just beginning to evaporate from the streets. My hands are shoved into the pockets of my leather bomber, shoulders shrugged against the morning chill, my breath exhaling in foggy tendrils. I’m not happy about being up this early so I’m grumbling about it, but I’m secretly drinking in the beauty of the morning… the sights, smells, and sounds of the city coming to life. It really is a brisk fall morning in the city, in perfume form.
Returning to this a couple weeks later: man, the combination of that lipstick note and the brick/dirt note is just driving me up the wall with how good it is. So, so surprisingly good. I can definitely see this being my punk rock, leather jacket & combat boots scent.
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Highgate Cemetery
Earl Grey tea, lavender sprigs, juniper berry, ivy, gravel, crumbling cobblestones, delicate fallen leaves & soft mittens
The lavender and juniper notes are immediately present when wet on the skin, and surprisingly, so is the tea! The tea is perfect in literally every possible way… I can even smell the bergamot. I’m very surprised that I like this so much, as I usually go for florals, but this is so good.
This truly reads as more of a late fall, early winter scent due to the prominence of the junipur, but it definitely paints a picture in my mind. It reminds me of just after Thanksgiving, when all the Christmas decorations start to come out. Specifically, it reminds me of coming home after shopping for a Christmas tree. My dad always had to get a tree that was perfect, so it would generally be a long process. This reminds me of coming home after finally getting the Christmas tree set up, and relaxing with a warm cup of tea and my Game Boy.
Returning to this a couple weeks later — it’s still absolutely lovely. This was one of my favorites out of the bunch, and lasts forever on me. I’m still very impressed with this, though I’m not sure I’ve thought about it enough to want a full size, like I have with Swearwolves. I guess we will see if I end up using up my sample!
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Glamorous satin and soft feather fringe, black fig, orris, tonka, bourbon on the rocks, smoked cardamom, cold marble
At first… holy bourbon! Super boozy… like crazy boozy. The second note I can distinguish is the fig. Surprisingly, the cardamom note isn’t super insane on this — I can usually smell cardamom from a mile away, but this is very understated. This has a really light, effervescent quality that I’m having a hard time placing. It came across as boozy at first, but as it settles it’s definitely more… like a sparkling champagne almost? This is certainly a unique scent, and it’s very intriguing to me. I can’t stop sniffing it. It has an elusive quality… it’s very mysterious, to the point where I can’t even really define why it’s mysterious. It’s like… fig, bourbon and vinyl or plastic but very pleasant vinyl/plastic…? This only becomes nicer through the dry down, too.
Probably won’t full size this because boozy bourbon just isn’t my thing, but I definitely enjoy it.
A couple weeks later: Yeah, definitely waaay too boozy and bourbon-y for my tastes, but it’s still very mysterious and definitely “feathery”, whatever that means. Someone out there has just got to love this one! It’s just so unique.
🖤🖤🖤🖤

Lafayette Cemetery No. 1
White mandevilla, sooty dragon’s blood, wild datura, wrought iron gates, muddy clay, living moss, chicory root, bone dust, chalk
While yes, this is floral, it’s a very green, sophisticated floral. It has the suggestion of dampness, like a humid, foggy day or dew on grass. What this actually reminds me of is an overgrown garden on an overcast day. The dragon’s blood comes through a bit more in the dry down once the florals have settled.
Overall, this is a sophisticated white floral with the green quality of real datura flowers. The dragon’s blood note really gives this depth, but the scent barely sticks around long enough to smell it. However, the scent itself is very beautiful, fresh, and unique.
A couple weeks later: Lovely and still humid. It’s just a little too green to be a complete win for me. If you’re on the fence about white florals and typically like green scents, this could be amazing for you, though.
🖤🖤🖤🖤

Panteon Viejo de Xoxocotlan
Wreaths of marigold & cockscomb, dusty cocoa, canela, sugar cube, flickering votives, honey cakes
The cocoa blasts you at first, but is very soon followed by sticky sweet honey. This is the most gourmand of all of the Sixteen92 scents I’ve tried. The cocoa is definitely more on the cacao side, so it balances the sweetness a bit, but I’m definitely out of my depth on this one. It’s just not a scent profile I typically enjoy, so it’s kind of hard for me to describe. I can tell you that if you love honey and cocoa, you will probably really like this. This doesn’t read floral to me even the slightest bit. Once it settles in, it’s actually really nice, and has a very warm, cozy quality to it that is winning me over. Wow, what a ride! I thought I was going to hate this when I first applied it, but the dry down is actually really lovely!
Returning to this a couple weeks later: I had the exact same experience. Wet, it was insanely, cloyingly sweet, but the dry down is just wonderful. Not something I think I’d full size, but revisiting it was nice. You would probably really like this if gourmands are more your cup of tea!
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

0001 Cemetery Lane
Crunchy decaying leaves, burning cedar and pine tar, crumbling limestone, deadly nightshade, desiccated herbs, chilly autumn rain
I received this as a free sample with my order, which is cool because the notes make this a perfume I never would have chosen on my own. This kind of reminds me a bit of Highgate, I guess due to the pine tar, but it’s much less sharply pine and more a subdued, resinous or woody pine. It’s a very clean scent, slightly aquatic — maybe that’s the autumn rain. This definitely reads as a unisex scent, and one I think the dudes might enjoy quite a bit… though I also enjoy it quite a bit as well. If you like pine and cedar, you will probably really like this one. This is very inoffensive, and kind of reminds me of a much less outrageously cloying Old Spice-like scent. I actually like this a lot… not sure if I like it enough to full size, but that’s probably my inner minimalist talking (I already have so many perfumes!). There’s something about this scent that is just so pleasant.
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Overall Thoughts on Sixteen92
I am just so thoroughly impressed by my experience with Sixteen92. Seriously, I was impressed by every single perfume I received in my order. They are so well blended and sophisticated, and possess quite a bit of throw as well. I am definitely seriously considering full-sizing Swearwolves at some point, especially after realizing how frequently I’ve been thinking about it since I first tried it. The same with Querida. It was truly an amazing experience, and I will be trying out their general catalog in the near future, for sure. This definitely seems to be a house that works for me, and I'm happy I decided to try them out 👌.

Want 2020 empties? We got 'em!

So 2020 was a bit of a dumpster fire. And by a bit, I mean a giant, steaming shitshow. But I got through a bunch of products, so yay? Per my usual, the following is a lengthy af list of products that I used or destashed, complete with notations unfit for human consumption, generally sweary thoughts, and rather crap formatting. Some of my 20 in 2020 pan list are included in this breakdown, but a full recap post on that adventure will be coming shortly.
tldr: 78 haiskin/perfume/cosmetic products used/destashed, minus a midsummer destashing session that I forgot to document.
Huda Beauty Kayali Vanilla|28 (Sample)
Impressions: This is a nice, warm vanilla fragrance. Its pleasant (and oddly the same scent) at initial application and dried down. If you could get rid of that slightly chemical scent in VS Amber Romance, it would be this perfume. Wear time on me is about 4 hours. Easily wearable in most situations, unlikely to offend anyone’s nose. Weirdly, my sample is purple, but the stock image on Sephora is pale pink and it isn’t that old….
Repurchase: $85 for 50mL for glorified VS Amber Romance? Fuck outta here….
CORSX Acne Pimple Master Patch 24 count (KB)
Impressions: I love these lil guys. Super handy to have around for hormonal acne flares. They stay on my face throughout the night, which is impressive given that I’m a restless sleeper.
Repurchase: Definitely
The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Celebrate Me Time Sheet Mask (LE) (KB)
Impressions: The cuteness of this is adorable. The mask is printed with HK’s signature bow and cute accents. Pleasantly watermelon/sugary scented, well moistened mask. Does this do anything outstanding? No.
Repurchase: Also no. But it was a nice 20 minute experience that made my skin happy.
L’ador Tea Tree Scalp Clinic Hair Pack (KB)
Impressions: This is the loveliest thing for getting rid of dry winter flakes and deep cleaning from summer product scalp buildup, especially when used with a shampoo brush. My husband even likes it for his scalp psoriasis. My only gripe is that I have yet to find a US vendor for this. Shipping from South Korea takes a small eternity. First world problems, I know. I just have to remember to order multiples at a time. {ed. note, this now is available from a US vendor (sokoglam.com) at a slightly higher price point. Score!}
Repurchase: Definitely
BH Cosmetics Stellar Lash (DS)
Impressions: I love this mascara. Its like TF’s BTS’ nicer, older sister. Similar performance, but not as heavy or gloopy. Brushes are similar, but I think SL’s is a bit smaller. The bottle stopper is much more proportionate to the brush head as you don’t get metric tons of product on the wand like you do with BTS.
Repurchase: Yes. I’ve got a full size of this mascara on my 20 in 20 pan list as well.
The Doux One Love Co-Wash
Impressions: I’m sure at one point in time I liked this product because it didn’t immediately get binned. However, at the time of review I’m trying to recover from some hair fuckery due to an incompetent stylist so I’m super salty about everything. At the moment, I like exactly three things about this product. 1) The packaging 2) The pale pink color 3) The fact that this bitch empty and gets to be yeeted into the recycling bin. Partial credit for being available at my local Target.
Repurchase: No. {ed. note, I am rethinking my position on repurchasing this. I think it would be lovely for wintertime when I’m not sweating as much. I am also mostly recovered from the hair fuckery.}
Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Yogurt Hydrate + Repair Conditioner
Impressions: I really like this whole line. The smell is incredible. The conditioner is thick without being too difficult to work with. Absorbs nicely into the hair. Good balance between moisture and protein. This is too heavy for my hair as a regular conditioner. I use it as a deep conditioner once or twice a month. This seems to be the sweet spot.
Repurchase: Yes
The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Complete Cleansing Makeup Wipes (LE) (KB)
Impressions: Husband and I were out of the country visiting relatives over the Christmas holiday. I didn’t want to bring the full arsenal of cleansing products (and I wasn’t planning on wearing much makeup anyhow) so I picked these up. No lie, I was surprised how much I like these. The strawberry rosé scent is really nice and they did a good job of removing makeup without stripping my skin or stinging my eyes. Each wipe was moist and the compact packaging (great for travel!) had a nice locking lid, in addition to the interior sticker seal.
Repurchase: Probably not. These are LE and I really only purchase wipes for travel purposes. If these are still around the next time I travel, then I would definitely repurchase. If they’re gone by then, I would likely purchase something comparable from the same brand.
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Glow
Impressions: This is quite possibly my favorite lip gloss ever. I rave about it to anyone and everyone who asks about it.
Repurchase: Yes. The next purchase will likely be in another shade, but I can always count on Glow.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, 228 Soft Tan
Impressions: There’s nothing really *wrong* with this foundation, though I would have to say the “poreless” is a lie. But maybe that’s just me. I get good wear time out of this and it is fairly lightweight. Decent coverage, though I’m not a fan of how it looks built up. I’m tossing this because it is way too dark; at least two shades too dark while wet and between three and four shades once dry. Its also pretty old; I bought it when I was living in Hawaii and I haven’t lived there for a few years.
Repurchase: Probably not. Its fine, but there are other foundations that I like better (with better shade ranges) that I would rather wear.
Too Faced Cocoa Powder Foundation, Medium
Impressions: I love this. It is everything I ever wanted in a powder foundation. In a compact. Has a nice sponge (crap sponges are a pet peeve). Applies nicely with said sponge or with a brush. Lightly scented. Good coverage. Behaves itself as a standalone or as a light helper to BB creams. I finally panned this one (which took ages) and I’ve got one more in backup.
Repurchase: Sadly, no. This has gone the way of the dodo, like so many of the products us Old Bats love. I’m contemplating TF’s Born This Way Powder as a substitute, but the mixed reviews give me some concern. I have plenty of setting powders to get through before I buy another powder foundation, plus I’ve had my eye on RCMA’s colorless powder for a while.
LA Girl Pro Conceal HD Concealer, Medium Beige
Impressions: I used to like this. I really did. But, not any more. My skin (specifically, my Old Bat under eyes) cannot take thick cosmetics anymore. While playing with some application techniques & cocktails to thin the product out, I came to the realization that this it also completely the wrong shade & undertone for my skin now. I have been victimized by my own shitty lighting. {ed. note: I suspect my skin tone changes are due to a combination of winter-induced paleness and some sneaky lightening ingredients in current skincare regimen. Will investigate further.} I had a decent amount of product left, but it had been open for a while and the formula was starting to change a bit. I decided that money wasted is still wasted, regardless of if it sits in my stash or in the trash. Since I hate clutter, in the bin it went. I don’t miss it.
Repurchase: No, unless it is for Halloween/costume party related purposes. You can’t beat the coverage or shade range for the price.
IPKN Moist & Firm BB Cream, Medium (KB)
Impressions: I like the SPF. I like the scent. Applies nicely and has good coverage. I get decent wear time out of this. However, it oxidizes like a mfer. Doesn’t matter what primer I use, doesn’t matter if I freshly wash my face right before application, setting powder, no setting powder, primer vs no primer, it oxidizes. Which is a shame because its a pretty good color match at initial application. But within an hour its two shades too dark and orange. I’ve had success combating that with mixing in blue color corrector, however *insert ain’t nobody got time for that meme here*. It might just be too moisturizing for my skin.
Repurchase: No, which is super disappointing. Back on the hunt I go.
Elizabeth Arden My Fifth Avenue (DS)
Impressions: This is one of the most generic smelling perfumes I’ve ever tried. Lasts maybe 2 hours on my skin, which is just sad. I get absolutely no citrus (which is supposed to be a top note), just a vague, generic floral, and a hint of musk. It isn’t offensive by any means, its just….there. It is quite light and would be a nice summer option, but this is definitely not for me.
Repurchase: No
Wet N Wild Photofocus Stick Foundation, Classic Beige
Impressions: I'm sure this is a great formulation for someone. I am not that person. This did nothing for me. Emphasized all my texture/pores/fine lines. Just sat on my skin. Amazingly, it looks even worse on camera. I swear I look 10 years older wearing this. This bad boy gets yeeted into the trash with zero regrets.
Repurchase: Hard no.
LA Girl Slim Shady, Darkest Brown
Impressions: I fucking love this thing. Its cheap. Doesn’t have funky undertones. Is pigmented. Its retractable. Can be blended easily, but doesn’t melt off as soon as you look at it. It even has a nice spoolie.
Repurchase: Yes, yes, a thousand times yes
The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Celebrate Whipped Cacao Hand Cream (LE) (KB) x3
Impressions: This is a nice lil hand cream to keep at my desk or in my purse. It isn’t strong enough to bring my skin back from full on lizard status, but its fine for restoring moisture after washing my hands. It absorbs fairly quickly. The scent is not obnoxiously heavy and fades pretty quickly. Basically, there’s nothing special about this
Repurchase: This is a LE product, so its no longer available. However, if if it weren’t LE I don’t think I would repurchase
Chapstick Lipbalm, Spearmint
Impressions: This was a desperation purchase. Except for the (very faint) mint flavoscent, I enjoyed nothing about this. Too waxy. Not moisturizing.
Repurchase: God no
Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer (mini)
Impressions: I enjoy just about everything this primer offers, except for the pump. When you get about halfway through the bottle, it just turns into this leaky, gloopy shitshow. It doesn’t impact the primer’s performance, but greatly decreases my desire to use it.
Repurchase: Maybe. If the alleged NYX dupe is comparable, then probably not. But I do like it enough to for it to be a repeat contender.
Colourpop Brow Boss Gel, Clear
Impressions: This is a nice lil’ gel. Has good hold, dries down matte. Plays nicely with every product I’ve thrown at it. Even works pretty well as a primer. It even has a good price point.
Repurchase: Maybe. I’m currently wearing my brows pretty short and filling them in with ABH brow gel [I find it easier to work with than Dip Brow] , so I don’t have a current need for a clear product. However, if that changes I would likely repurchase.
L’Oréal Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation, Natural Beige
Impressions: Pretty decent color match. Decent amount of glow without veering into glitter. Plays nicely with most primers I’ve tried it with, but it does not like the Hourglass Mineral Veil; I put those two together and Hello! Texture City. I get decent wear time. The packaging says that this is medium coverage and I would mostly agree, but it can get cakey quickly. I do like that I can sheer this out with a face serum pretty easily.
Repurchase: Maybe? I’m not mad at it. It performs better than some prestige brands I’ve tried. I’ve got a few other foundations to get through in my stash and a couple on my post no-buy list to try out. As long as they don’t change the formula, I wouldn’t mind going back to this.
Mario Badescu Facial Spray (Aloe, Chamomile, & Lavender)
Impressions: This does absolutely nothing for my skin. It smells lovely though. And its a very pretty shade of purple that complements the packaging. Those are literally the only redeeming things I can identify.
Repurchase: Hard no.
The Body Shop Shea Nourishing Body Butter
Impressions: This is good in the drier winter months and is great for year-round application to feet and elbows. However, it is too damn heavy for the rest of my body in the warm, humid months.
Repurchase: Probably not. I like the coconut one better. I’ve also learned that I only need to have one of these on hand at any time since I’m shit at remembering to apply moisturizer to my body.
Love Beauty and Planet Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower Lucious Hydration Hand Lotion
Impressions: This is, quite possibly, one of my favorite hand lotions ever. I love the scent. I love the quick absorption time. I love the scent. I love the lack of greasy residue. Did I mention I love the scent? Because I do. I want everything in my house to smell like this, always.
Repurchase: Yes
Wet N Wild Megaslim Skinny Tip Eyeliner
Impressions: The eyeliner itself is okay. I’ve tried two skinny/micro liquid liners and have come to the realization that they’re just not for me. It likely has to do with my eye shape (hooded, close-set, AND deep-set) I binned this because I literally can’t remember when I opened it and I have this thing about liquid liners being open for extended periods of time. I’m pretty sure I opened it before Mr. Lew and I started house hunting and that was early 2019.
Repurchase: No. I have this crazy idea that I want to give the Tarte Amazonian Clay liner (in the tube) a chance again. Or just suck it up and stick to pencil liners.
The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Pink Water Creme Ultra Dewy Face Cream (LE) (KB)
Impressions: I really like this, but I don’t think its quite moisturizing enough for my winter skin. Its a very light, slippery texture. Absorbs fairly quickly into the skin without being too sticky. Really nice watermelon (?) scent that isn’t overpowering. Nice, heavy packaging. Doubles nicely as a lightweight hand cream.
Repurchase: Sadly, no. This was a Winter Holiday LE release. I very much liked this formula and would be open to buying something comparable from the brand for summer months. [Ed. Note: This is back in stock on Creme Shop’s website as of 22 October 20, so I may acquire myself a jar to help combat the Differin-induced dryness & flaking that is my skin rn]
NYX Lip Lingerie, Exotic
Impressions: I like the color (a richer sort of MLBB) and the coverage, but it drives me crazy that this never dries down. I don’t mind a little bit of tackiness, but this constantly feels wet and sticky.
Repurchase: No. There are other liquid lip formulas (Colourpop, NARS Powermatte) that I like much better.
Girl + Hair Under Hair Care Protective Restoring Balm
Impressions: I bought this with the intention of using it to keep my hair & scalp moisturized when I started wearing more protective styles aside from the Curly BunTM. I had the brilliant idea that I would do my own box braids. Utter. Fucking. Fail. As is this product. Like a lot of products geared towards “natural” hair, this is much too heavy for my fine AF hair. Two days after putting a SMALL amount on my scalp, I was still a greasy betch. I love the packaging (squeeze nozzles ftw!) and the scent is pretty nice.
Repurchase: I like the idea of this product, but ultimately its a no from me. I am interested in trying out other products from this company though.
Blueberry Bliss Control Paste
Impressions: I bought this on the recommendation of one of my favorite natural hair YouTubers. I don’t particularly care for the scent. Its definitely fruity and sweet, but not that I would immediately identify as blueberry. This does a great job at adding shine, an okay job at controlling the frizz halo, and a shit job at holding my edges. Additionally, something in this strongly disagrees with my scalp. I’ve used it about a dozen times and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. my scalp gets dry and itchy af and flaky.
Repurchase: Hard no.
Chapstick Lipbalm, Strawberry
Impressions: This was a desperation purchase. Except for the (very faint) berry flavoscent, I enjoyed nothing about this. Too waxy. Not moisturizing.
Repurchase: Nope
Dionis Goat Milk Skincare Natural Goat Milk Hand Cream, Water Flowers & Sea Salt x2
Impressions: This is a great lil hand cream in a lovely scent. Absorbs pretty quickly. Nicely moisturizing. Does a good job of holding off handwashing-induced lizard skin. This is another one of those scents where I would not object to ALL THE THINGS smelling like.
Repurchase: Yup
The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Lip Balm, Winter Apple Pie (LE) (KB)
Impressions: The packaging is adorable (pink macaron shaped pot) and that’s about all I like. The scent is okay, but I would never in a million years identify this as apple pie. Or an apple. Or anything apple-adjacent. There is no artificial flavor, but the taste of the actual balm is no bueno. It isn’t particularly moisturizing and has a tendency to just sit on top of your lips, never really absorbing in. It might be useful as a sleeping pack, but the thick, waxy nature of the balm is pretty off-putting and challenging to work with. I may keep the container to use for decanting purposes or travel purposes IF THIS FUCKING PANDEMIC WILL EVER END.
Repurchase: No. This was a Winter Holiday LE product. Even if it was in their regular catalog, I wouldn’t buy this again.
Essence Melted Chrome Liquid Lipstick, Copper Dropper
Impressions: This is really nice packaging, particularly for a budget brand. The tube feels substantial. The wand handle matches (mostly) the lipstick shade and a good chunk of the tube is transparent so you can see how much product you have remaining. I will never, ever pan this because this lipstick gives me the WORST case of butthole lips. I don’t even like metallic lipstick, let alone metallic liquid lipstick. WTF even was I thinking. That said, the wear time is pretty good.
Repurchase: God no.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, Copenhagen
Impressions: I fucking love this lip cream, but damn if this shade isn’t a pain in the ass to get even. Even with matching lipliner, I still can’t get an even coat. Which is super frustrating because I love dark berry/goth-adjacent lipsticks.
Repurchase: Product yes, shade no
Taliah Waajid Protective Styles Bamboo, Biotin & Basil Restoring Serum
Impressions: I love this as a scalp treatment, either in conjunction with a deep conditioner or on its own. I’m not sure if it actually does anything for promoting hair growth, but it does make my scalp feel nice.
Repurchase: God I would love to. This particular product has either been discontinued or reformulated into another product. The original formulation (of dubious age/authenticity) is still available on Amazon, but at a ridonkulous markup. I may try the new version once I make a dent in the current inventory.
Creme of Nature Sulfate-Free Moisture & Shine Shampoo with Argan Oil
Impressions: For a sulfate-free shampoo, this produces a surprising amount of lather. I love the smell; spicy and exotic and warm. Kind of reminds me of Dior Hypnotic Poison. Cleanses well and does provide a decent amount of shine. Strangely helps with detangling. One of my faves.
Repurchase: Hell yes.
CARE:NEL Special Lip Care Lip Sleeping Mask (KB)
Impressions: Got this on Amazon as a dupe for the OG Laneige lip mask. This came in a three pack and I *think* this is the last one. The product is nice and thick and lasts most of the night. The mask (balm? goo?) is slightly sweet-scented, but not aggressively so.
Repurchase: Maybe? I don’t think this is functionally different than Lanolips, but it is a good product that does work well.
Carol’s Daughter Almond Milk Leave-In Conditioner
Impressions: This has a ridiculously strong almond smell at first application, though it mellow out fairly quickly. This made my hair crunchy as shit. I don’t know what moisturizing properties it was supposed to have, but my bottle clearly missed out on them. The sprayer is nice though.
Repurchase: Hard no.
Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask x2
Impressions: Like most Neutrogena products, I love the way this smells. This is a really nice drugstore deep conditioner. Actually does what it says on the label. My biggest gripe is that, at only six ounces, I go through this way too fast because of the ridiculous amount of hair I have.
Repurchase: Probably
Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Mist (KB)
Impressions: There is something in this (pretty sure its the fermented yeast) that my skin loooooooves. Very faint smell, good sized bottle, gloriously fine spray. If I can ever figure out how to get the top off, I’ll likely decant my setting spray into it.
Repurchase: Hard yes
Missha Time Revolution Clear Toner (KB)
Impressions: I can’t nail down what it is about this product that works so well with my skin. It doesn’t seem to do anything special at first appearance, but I can tell when its presence is lacking in my routine. Maybe its the fermented yeast, might be the gentle AHAs/BHAs, but whatever it is, I love it.
Repurchase: Yes
Creme of Nature Intensive Conditioning Treatment with Argan Oil
Impressions: This entire product line is one of the best smelling things I’ve ever put on my body. This conditioner is a little weird. Too rich for a regular conditioner, not quite rich enough for a full on deep conditioner. I haven’t tried leaving this on overnight, but 15-30 minutes (my hair is dry AF, don’t judge me) is about right for a nice little pick me up. If CoN ever decides to branch out and put out body care scented like this, it will be the the only body wash I used forever and ever, amen.
Repurchase: Hard yes
Dionis Goat Milk Hand Cream, Vanilla Bean
Impressions: Like the other scent in this product line I’ve tried, I love this cream. It is hydrating and absorbs quickly. However, there is something in this scent’s fragrance that wants to stab me in my frontal lobe. Its sweet and vanilla-y, but there is another note (vaguely cinnamon-adjacent) that is just too damn much. Oddly, that note isn’t present in the vanilla bean lip balm, which I love. It took me a couple times to realize that using this hand cream was almost guaranteed to give me a low-level migraine, so I gifted it to Mom, who finished it in like a week.
Repurchase: Product, yes. Scent, no.
Colourpop Ultra Glossy Lip, Free Spirit (LE)
Impressions: I’ve been looking for a dupe for an early 00s L’Oréal lip gloss (that was this glorious, mostly opaque caramel) for the better part of a decade. To date, I am still stymied in my search because this gloss ain’t it. The packaging is cute and the gloss itself is okay, but doesn’t last for shit. The color, which seems quite opaque in the tube, but is utterly invisible on my lips. The brush turned into an angry hedgehog within about a month of use, which has never happened with other CP glosses. In short, a total fail. Whomp.
Repurchase: No. This shade was part of the LE Frozen II collection. Even if it wasn’t, I still wouldn’t repurchase this.
COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream (KB)
Impressions: This bad boy has never failed me. High concentration of snail mucus, which my skin loves. Pleasant smell. Reasonable price, if you don’t buy from Ulta. Easily sourced at multiple US-based vendors. Hella sticky though.
Repurchase: Yes, once I make a dent in my utterly ridiculous skincare stash
Skinfood Peachy Jelly Soothing Gel 90 (KB)
Impressions: This smells like a peach jolly rancher. I fucking love that. Lightweight, which is great for the hot & humid South. This will not fix Winter Lizard Skin, but it is great for healthy skin barriers that need some gentle love. I prefer to use this on my body post-shower, but it is also nice as a sleeping pack or to chill skin out that has had too many actives on it. Absorbs fairly quickly, but can get sticky if you go ham on application. 8/10. Would recommend. Bonus tip! Keep this bad boy in the fridge for a delightful cooling experience.
Repurchase: Yes, but I’m not sure if its still available. The packaging says it is LE, but its still in stock at Skinfood’s website. Ulta (my original sale point) no longer carries it, so who knows. If I can repurchase, I will. I have several backups of this and the Aloe, which I kind of want to try on my hair…
Clinique Take the Day off Cleansing Balm (travel size)
Impressions: This was a desperation purchase. I needed a small, balm/solid cleanser to take with me last Winter Holiday to go in my carryon as the husband and I were travelling overseas. This was the only thing I could find in the timeframe I had that was small enough to meet my needs, that was NOT a bar of soap. This is very effective at taking makeup off. Its also effective at trashing my skin. I ended up hate panning it when I ran out of my beloved Heimish and everywhere was out of stock thanks to Ms. Rona. At this point, I’m permanently swearing off all Clinique products except Black Honey.
Repurchase: Hard no
Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base (DS)
Impressions: This is nice. Hydrating without making me oily. Plays nicely on its own and with most of my foundations. Doesn’t break me out. Thick, without being too heavy. HOWEVER. Baby girl smells like Lemon Pledge and that shit lingers. I can honestly say that I’ve never had a cosmetic smell like a household cleaner before so…..
Repurchase: Maybe. I’m not mad at it, but I don’t know if I love it enough to get over the Lemon Pledge smell.
Morphe Continuous Setting Mist
Impressions: I was on the fence about repurchasing this last year (this is one of my backups) and I’m still on the fence about repurchasing because I find the brand to be somewhat problematic and some of their partnerships to be very problematic. However, some of their products are really great. Like this mist. Its still one of the best I’ve ever tried. I’m still open to looking for something comparable, but the aerosolized mist is just *chef’s kiss*. Ethical consumption in capitalism is such a bitch.
Repurchase: ?
***pretend there are detailed reviews of the big ass box of hair & makeup products that I destashed but couldn’t be bothered to document, mmmkay?***
The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
Impressions: I bought this on a whim after reading some promising reviews on Reddit. I also needed something that could travel with me as Mr. Lew and I were traveling for 2019 Winter Holiday. I kind of liked it at the time, but not so much anymore. I think I liked it because it was winter (cold) and I was in the mountains (dry air). Upon returning to warm & humid Florida, this doesn’t seem to do anything for me. I’ve struggled to use this as a face moisturizer, hand cream, and body lotion. I’m giving up.
Repurchase: No, unless I’m traveling again and need something to get me through for a few days.
The Creme Shop x gudetama Gold Peel-Off Mask for Nose (LE) (KB)
Impressions: I suspected this would be crap when I bought it, but I was hopeful as I liked other LE offerings from this brand. I was sadly disappointed. This took forever to dry and barely did anything to my skin. Its got a pleasant smell and is a lovely shade of gold. That’s about it.
Repurchase: No
Bioderma Atoderm Ultra-Moisturizing Lip Balm
Impressions: I picked this up on the recommendation of a fellow MUACJ Redditor and HOLY SHIT! This is one of the best lip balms I’ve ever used. Which is somewhat baffling because there is nothing revolutionary about the ingredients. But somehow, these French wizards hit one out of the park. Lightweight, but moisturizing. Not sticky. No flavor. Weirdly, vaguely smells like blue raspberry. But it somehow works. The only thing I’m slightly salty about is how quickly I’ve gone through the tube.
Repurchase: Hell yes
Mizon Original Skin Energy Collagen 100 ampoule (KB)
Impressions: I think I like this. And I think it works, but I’ve been really inconsistent about using it so its hard to tell. I generally like Mizon ampoules and find they absorb rather quickly. They make my preferred HA.
Repurchase: One more time to actually see if it does anything of note.
Sixteen92 Super Natural Hair Serum, Malum Malus (DS)
Impressions: I received this as a DS with the Fall (Halloween? Falloween? IDK) 2019 CAoS set I purchased. Malum Malus is my favorite scent in that line and the fragrance lasts a long time without being overpowering. The serum itself is a bit thicker than I’m used to, but is okay.
Repurchase: Probably not, unless I just *really* fell in love with a scent and needed to wrap myself in it. I have other serums that I prefer and am much more likely to repurchase
Shea Moisture Mongongo & Hemp Seed Oils High Porosity Moisture Correct Masque
Impressions: I really love this. It provides such a moisture injection to my hair in addition to the protein my high porosity hair needs. Nice and thick. Great smell. Really needs a cap to absorb into the hair
Repurchase: Hell yes.
The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
Impressions: I kind of like this and can tell it has had an improvement in my hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. However, it hasn’t done much for my texture and has minimally improved brightness. Its cheap and doesn’t irritate my skin. I’m not wild about the dimethicone, but it isn’t a deal breaker.
Repurchase: Maybe once more. I’m incorporating more Vitamin C products in my routine to address the lack of brightness. If those work well, then I likely won’t repurchase.
Hask Cactus Water Prickly Pear See Oil 5-in-1 Leave in Spray
Impressions: Got this for my mom, who ended up not liking it that much. This plays surprisingly well with my hair. It conditions without being heavy and is sort of okay at managing the frizz halo. I detangle in the shower so I can’t really say whether this does anything for that. The scent is quite lovely and the mist is nice & fine.
Repurchase: Definitely
Design Essentials Natural Almond & Avocado Moisturizing & Detangling Sulfate Free Shampoo
Impressions: I’m not mad at this. Easily accessible, reasonable price point. Does moisturize. Not as detangling as the CoN Argan Oil but does have a bit of slip to it. The scent is not my favorite, but it doesn’t linger so I’m not going to hold that against it. It does its job and does it fine; I’m just not wowed by it. Admittedly, I don’t think I’ve ever been wowed by a shampoo so I might be expecting too damn much.
Repurchase: Maybe one more time to see if I really like it.
Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals Rosehip Oil
Impressions: I like this, but struggle to use it in warmer months. Its great for the winter and plays nicely with my skin, hair, and cuticles. It is too heavy to use as an allover scalp treatment, but is good for the occasional dry patch.
Repurchase: In a smaller container, for sure. This 4 ounce bottle took me ages to get through and it went off before I could get more than halfway through.
The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics
Impression: I don’t care for this. It does nothing worthwhile for my skin. Fell for the Reddit hype. I’m definitely going back to my KB HA.
Repurchase: No
Too Cool For School Rules of Mastic IX Cream (KB)
Impression: I’m not mad at this. It has a lovely smell, is quite thick, and nicely moisturizes my skin. This is great at bringing back winter lizard skin, but its a bit too much for non-winter facial skin. My mom quite enjoys it as a hand cream, but its too strongly scented for her face.
Repurchase: Maybe? I’m still on the fence.
Creme of Nature Pure Honey Moisturizing Dry Defense Conditioner
Impression: This conditioner is the shit. Its got slip, a nice scent, wallet-friendly price, bottle that fits nicely in my hand, and provides delicious, delicious moisture.
Repurchase: Hell yes
Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Treatment Masque
Impression: I genuinely adore this masque. I love the scent. I love the way it makes my hair feel afterwards. My only gripes are pretty minimal; I wish it was slightly less thick (its kind of hard to spread in my hair) and had a smidge more slip.
Repurchase: Yes
Sunday Riley Good Genes
Impression: I used to love this and then they went and reformulated it. And now I’m not sure how I feel about the new new. I don’t think its as strong as it used to be, but that may be a factor of my super inconsistent usage. I like that its vacuum sealed and the product itself is protected from light. I’m not the biggest fan of the scent, but it isn’t nearly as aggressive as the Bobbi Brown vitamin face base that reeks of Pledge.
Repurchase: I’m reserving judgement on this. I want to buy this one more time, consistently use it, then make a final decision. {ed. note: upon further reflection, I will not be repurchasing this}
Fanofi Micro-Needle Soothing Patch (KB)
Impressions: These are delightful for taming the occasional hormonal cystic acne.
Repurchase: Yes
Dionis Goat Milk Skincare Natural Goat Milk Hand Cream, Sea Treasures
Impressions: This is a great lil hand cream in a lovely scent. Absorbs pretty quickly. Nicely moisturizing. Does a good job of holding off handwashing-induced lizard skin. This is another one of those scents where I would not object to ALL THE THINGS smelling like.
Repurchase: Yup
Physician’s Formula Healthy Lip Liquid Lipstick, Vitamin Beet
Impressions: I got this several years ago in a vault that was heavily on sale. This is the last of the remaining tubes. The lipstick itself is okay, nothing revolutionary. I enjoy the triangle-shaped (tulip?) applicator. I hate this color and have absolutely no intention of ever wearing it.
Repurchase: Nope
NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment, American Woman (DS)
Impressions: I genuinely like this formula. The application is a bit finicky due to how close the cap is to the doe foot, but I’m not going to hold that against it as this is a DS. The color is perfectly fine, a pinkish-brown MLBB shade. However, I own approximately 25 products this color and its time to destash.
Repurchase: Formula yes, color no.
Sephora gloss, Lady Luck
Impressions: Ever met a person and then immediately forgot everything about them because they’re so bland? That’s this gloss. The color is pretty in the tube. The packaging is nice. And that’s about it.
Repurchase: No. Its nothing against the product itself, but it doesn’t spark joy.
Lime Crime Velvetine, Beet It (GWP)
Impressions: Got this as a gift with purchase from a Postmark order.
Repurchase: Nope
Lanolips Hydrating Lip Luminiser, Beach Pop
Impressions: I bought this in the hopes that it would be as awesome as their multipurpose balm. I was sadly, sadly disappointed. I like absolutely nothing about this product except the color. It smells horrible, tastes worse, and is stupidly thick.
Repurchase: No
Lanolips Hydrating Lip Luminiser, Desert Glow
Impressions: See above
Repurchase: No
The Ordinary Buffet
Impressions: I honestly couldn’t tell you if this did anything for my skin. It was hella sticky though and didn’t sting, so it has that working in its favor.
Repurchase: No
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Aelopile (imp)
Impressions: Scent description from website: Glowing amber and citrus, labdanum, verbena, cedar, and oud. I definitely get amber, some verbena, and oud. This wears warm and spicy on me, but not aggressively so. I suspect this would be lovely in a room oil warmer.
Repurchase: Yes
Estee Lauder Beautiful Belle (DS)
Impressions: This goes hard on the white floral with very light rose & musk and virtually no other notes. This is a very heavy fragrance to me, but I think that’s due to the gardenia, which I’m quite sensitive to. A generic, inoffensive fragrance that’s not remarkable in any way. Pretty much the antithesis of what I like my perfumes to smell like.
Repurchase: Hard no
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab The Apothecary (imp)
Impressions: Scent description from the website: Tea leaf with three mosses, green grass, a medley of herbal notes, and a drop of ginger and fig. I get the fig and some heavier tea notes. I much prefer the scent in the tube; there you can pick up the ginger, grass, and some sort of herbaceous notes. On my skin its still nice, just not my cuppa.
Repurchase: It does not spark joy, so no.
Dionis Goat Milk Skincare Natural Goat Milk Hand Cream, Water Flowers & Sea Salt
Impressions: I have accepted that I am a Stan for these hand creams. I am just obsessed with them. I want everything to smell like this.
Repurchase: Yup
Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Mist (KB)
Impressions: My skin loves this
Repurchase: Sadly no. This product is no longer made and I can’t find a reasonable dupe in mist form. I’ve replaced this in my routine with Neogen Real-Ferment Micro Essence.

What A Day: Cootie Giuliani by Sarah Lazarus & Crooked Media (12/07/20)

"Look, what's at stake here in this election is the American dream." - Kelly Loeffler, asked whether senators should be allowed to trade stocks

The Silent Majority

Donald Trump is rapidly running out of new ways to lose an election that ended a month ago, but Republicans have continued to encourage his conspiracy theories and attempts to throw out the results—mostly in the most cowardly way possible.

Hours before heading to Georgia on Saturday for a Senate campaign rally/public whining opportunity, Trump called Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) and demanded that he a) pressure the state legislature to overturn Joe Biden’s victory, and b) order an audit of absentee ballot signatures. Kemp declined, which doesn’t make the request itself any less of a criminal attack on democracy. Trump continued to dump on Kemp at his evening rally, in between ranting about his own loss and distractedly urging Georgians to go vote in their hopelessly rigged election: “This election was rigged, and we can’t let it happen to two of the most respected people in Washington. Your governor could stop it easily if he knew what the hell he was doing.”
Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and David Perdue (R-GA) were met with chants of “stop the steal!” and “fight for Trump!” when they took the stage on Saturday, and while neither repeated Trump’s lies about his stolen victory, they’ve continued to support them. When asked whether Trump lost the election in her Sunday debate with Raphael Warnock, Loeffler repeatedly deflected, saying only that Trump “has every right to use every legal recourse available.” Any thoughts about recourses that involve asking the state legislature to violate election laws, Kel? (Perdue was too chickenshit to show up for his debate with Jon Ossof, but here’s his empty podium speaking volumes.)
They’re in good company. (Well, terrible company, but there’s a lot of it–you get it.) The Washington Post contacted all 249 Republicans in the House and Senate, and found just 27 who were willing to acknowledge Biden’s victory. About 88 percent of congressional Republicans refused to say who won the election, functionally pledging support for Trump’s attempts to invalidate it. Those attempts have not and will not work, but a chilling majority of GOP lawmakers just confirmed they have no problem with the kind of extralegal election-stealing tactics Trump has engaged in.

When Republicans refuse to condemn Trump’s insane lies, they assume responsibility for the threats to election officials that follow.

Armed protesters gathered outside of Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s home on Saturday night, shouting obscenities, conspiracy theories, and demands to overturn the election results. (The 2020 version of Christmas caroling.) Election-related threats and harassment have been rising steadily in battleground states across the country, and 88 percent of Republicans in Congress have tacitly said “no notes!”
It’s unclear how Trump’s gun-toting fans will react when his options have been exhausted, but we’re nearing that point. Georgia has recertified its results after counting all ballots for a third time, handing Biden his weekly Georgia victory. Judges have dismissed Sidney Powell’s kraken lawsuits in Georgia and Michigan, and the official Trump legal team has lost its pinnacle of legal flatulence Rudy Giuliani, now that he’s been hospitalized with coronavirus after potentially exposing hundreds of people. A fitting conclusion to both the post-election mess, and one man’s utterly extraordinary six-week faceplant.

Just as the stakes of the presidential election were existential, the aftermath has brought the stakes of the Georgia Senate runoffs into sharp relief: We can have a Senate that’s prepared to work with Joe Biden to bring about a national recovery, or we can be stuck with one controlled by a party that refuses to even recognize Joe Biden as president. Don’t ease up now.

Under The Radar

Senate Republicans have invited anti-vaxx doctor Jane Orient to be the lead witness at a Tuesday hearing on coronavirus treatments, upholding their sworn oath to make public-health officials’ work as hard as possible. Orient is the executive director of Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, a group opposed to government involvement in medicine, and has called vaccine mandates “a serious intrusion into individual liberty, autonomy and parental decisions.” Orient has also spread conspiracy theories about coronavirus vaccines and promoted hydroxychloroquine as a coronavirus treatment, and said she plans to use her Senate testimony to do the same. This is the person Republicans are giving a platform, as health officials prepare to roll out a life-saving mass vaccination program hinging on public cooperation. Mark it down, the first time dis-Orient-ing would be a good thing. (Sorry! Sorry!!!)

What Else?

Joe Biden has selected California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, and Dr. Rochelle Walensky for CDC director.

Be Smarter

A massive MIT study of fake news found that false information consistently outperforms the truth on Twitter, and it’s not because of bots. The study analyzed some 126,000 stories tweeted over more than ten years, and found that a false story reaches 1,500 people six times quicker than a true story, on average. That’s the case on every subject, but false stories about politics regularly get the most action. It seems to be a matter of human preference: Between 2006 and 2016, Twitter bots amplified true stories as often as they amplified fake ones. The MIT team proposed two hypotheses for why people are more eager to share misinformation than real news: First, fake news seems more “novel,” and second, fake tweets evoke more emotion, on average, than accurate tweets. To be fair, this study came out before Lifetime tweeted about the very real and deeply upsetting Colonel Sanders movie, which might have skewed things.

Why Are Forests So Important And What Can You Do To Protect Them?

ep05

“How the hell did you do that?”

Koola ran to Burinake and said to Faust with a glance of respect.
Koola didn't intend. Koola's body on Faust's arm
As he talked closely, Faust's mind was focused only on that place.
Jaguar's arm has long since disappeared. Because of her close contact
The fragrant smell tickled my nose.

“Hmm, hmm, do you speak from a distance?”
"What is it? Don't just know, let me know! Let's do some partial mutations too! Wow, I heard that I can use the power of Jaguar at will. I think it's worth trying even with the best warriors?”

When the mana flowing in the body feels like it is gathering in a wrong place.
It was Tata who saved him.

“Ko-la, you go out to help people get back on track. They take care of those who are injured.”
"Ah! Why are you leaving me alone again? What are you two doing, so why don't you keep looking at me?”

Tata said, sending the fat koola back.
“What were you originally doing?”

Faust, with a slightly regrettable expression, said, looking at Tata.
“I was originally an untouchable person in a country called Burg. However, he died from the betrayal of his disciples who invaded during a duel with the demons.”
“Are you trying to revenge?”
“Of course, but I did the revenge of a man named Quitla who gave me his body.”

Tata sighed, looking at the determined Faust.

“You will have to go back very far. Just killing the Iberians will not relieve Quitla's resentment.”
'Are you very altruistic? I gave my body, but in the end, it’s someone else.’

He didn't know Tata, nor did Faust himself. It was natural to not know.
Who might have different minds and bodies?
Other than dominating with mental magic.
The mind and body that naturally fit into the body of Quitla
The remaining feelings of the dead are also mistaken for Faust's will.
The grudge of the dead warrior on this continent eventually became Faust's.
Tata decided to see Faust with a determined expression. In the middle of the jungle
To take him to him.

“If your will is right, then there is someone to help you.”
“Help is always welcome.”
“Go into the jungle with me. You may be the one He was waiting for.”

That just had to be reorganized for a small war
They promise to go into the jungle the next day
I decided to tour the village.
Huakhan was different from the continent where Faust lived.
Like Faust's most amazed architecture,
The Huakan people were born farmers.
Most of the houses had large gardens, with tropical flowers and cacao trees open.
Faust, who first tasted cacao fruit, was surprised by the bitter taste.

"Huh! What is it?"

Koola laughed out loud at his ridiculous look.

“Why so refreshingly. It's cacao.”

Faust with a frowned eye as he looked at the koola squirting cacao casually
I saw her, but I was surprised at the moment. Eating cacao
This is because it felt as if mana was being rapidly charged to the body.

'What is this?'

The effect was amazing. A feeling of overflowing mana flowing through the body and a feeling of increasing stamina.

“Cacao is a fruit. When we get hurt, we chew cacao and it's good for recovery. And here, cacao fruit acts as a currency, making it the most important economic tool and food in Huakan.”

You can feel the heel and mana potion at the same time, and even play the role of money. It was a series of surprises.

'If you take kakao to burg, you can become a rich man. Even one potion has a huge price”

There is a huge difference between going through the jungle and going to the center of the jungle.
They are the Huakan people who make their way through the jungle, but no one is at the center of the jungle.
did not go. Tata began to bring corn and potatoes in the luggage compartment, giving information about the jungle.

“Going to the center of the jungle is very dangerous. There are a lot of beasts and a lot of beings that you shouldn't meet.”

Faust was more interested in the corn and potatoes that Tata now has than what Tata said.
Tata, noticed, threw steamed corn and potatoes at Faust.

“Try it. These are the foods we enjoy.”

I thought the long field spreading around the castle was this long yellow food.
Exciting Tata gave something else to Faust, who was eating deliciously.

"It looks a little right in your mouth, so try this too."
"What is this?"
“Popcorn is fried in sun-dried corn. It’s good to have a meal at Huakan with nothing to eat.”
Nothing to eat, in a village covered with potato and corn?
There was a question, but the popcorn in front of me was so delicious. The crunchy food
It was several times more crunchy than Burg's cookies, and there was a flavor that wasn't felt in my mouth.

“You can give this to Iscaliot.”
“It seems that the bird has always been carried around from the last time. What kind of bird is it? I don’t think it’s a bird here.”
“I am a disciple. Died together. It seems that we have not recovered our energy yet, so we are feeding.”
The little red bird, the popcorn in Faust's hand
I was barely filthy. Even Faust knows when to recover
I couldn't guess.

Around that time, Cortes' troops ran into obstacles they had never thought of.
It was not the resistance of the two continental races. It was because of Diago, the governor of Cuba. In the first place
The problem was that he tricked Diago and Cortes borrowed a magic squad,
The army of desire, blinded by gold, has already forgotten their master
It was a long time.

"Huh, heck, I didn't know he'd be tracking us from Cuba to here."
“The governor has seen a lot of scammers like you since before. There are many ways to pursue even a single shadow of yours, so it's better to throw away your thoughts of running away. I should have dried up the governor when reaping the bum who wandered in Iberia! I will take your neck for sin here.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Although I am a scammer, I made an unreasonable move as a loyalty for the governor. I was never trying to run away.”

It was unreasonable to look at it with an apologetic attitude, but Cortes and his troops were struggling.
“How long must I run away? Leader?"
“If you go a little more, you will know.”

Cortes himself was the first to be surprised to hear that Diago's chase was coming.
Besides, there have been reports of over a thousand troops in the pursuit.
Cortes' men were terrified and wanted to run away, and begged him earnestly.
Cortes was already a golden slave.
He couldn't hand over his treasure to a finely bred noble like Diago.

'In the end, you will serve the same master as me.'

Fernando, the captain of the chase, felt a strange feeling.
The Cortes troops are running away while keeping a certain distance from themselves.

“It sounds like you're writing an incentive book, so be prepared!”

Hearing him from a distance, Cortes smiled.
Obviously, Fernando was a talented knight. However, this situation is unlikely to be expected.
Cortes gave a signal to his unit.

“All scattered everywhere!”

Soldiers being chased now have a clear idea of what they are doing.
Cortes and his commander Alvarado exchanged eyes and hid themselves.
On the other hand, the chase team lost their temper at the sight in front of them.
“It's golden! Gold!"

The dazzlingly piled golden trinkets have nothing to do with the chase
I got off the horse and put the treasures in my pocket. Commander Fernando was confused.

“You children! It's never too late to wake up and take care of your targets!”

No way. Even if you kill Cortes and his men,
This gold will be Governor Diago's. Fernando has to take some rice cakes
It would be fortunate when the degree is over.
Suddenly run away from the gold war
Cortes stood alone before them.

“The soldiers listen! I will become a slave of gold and go to get bigger treasures now. Do you think Fernando, who is with your captain Diago, will give you gold? No!”
“You guys! Where do you make fun of your tongue! Get the author quickly!”

Fernando ordered with open face, but the soldiers pursued gold with their eyes
I listened to Cortes.

“I will now have more gold in my hand than gold in front of my eyes and share it with you! Won't you go on an expedition with me? Soldiers of Diago!”

When Cortes' cry was over,
Cortes' soldiers returned and cheered and flirted.

"Wow! Wow! Long live Cortes!”

The trend was slanted. Soldiers who hold gold in their hands will never go back to Diago
Fernando drew his sword and shouted to the soldiers.
“Do you all want to be slaughtered? Go get those guys! Are you thinking of damaging the knight's honor!”
“Honor is for noble knights, as you say.”

Behind her back came a word against Fernando's cries.
Fernando turned to a sudden appearance.

'At what time! I didn't feel it. Is it hiding?’

"pose!"

It was then. The magic of Cortes that freezes Fernando's body looking back.
I can resist this light magic against the usual intermediate expert level Fernando,
A beast that is stunned can stop breathing even with a light arrow.

“Wealth is the best for people like us. After that, it is not too late to buy honor for money.”

When Alvarado had finished speaking, Fernando's neck was held in his hand.
And Fernando's blood spilled over their weapon and greed gold.
As such, the Cortes army, which had only three hundred people, became an army of over a thousand predators.

The jungle was an unfamiliar place to Faust, who lived in the plains.
It was the most humid and shaded place in the wet terrain of Huakhan
It was much tacky than in Burg in arid climate.
Air circle magic that operates the flow of air to remove unpleasant feelings
Until I cast it.
“It looks like a mysterious wind is blowing around your body.”

It was just a mysterious scene for Koola who didn't know that it was magic.

"Yeah? How does it feel cool?”

Faust was annoying to explain. If it ends in a way that you don't even know
The judgment that I'd be curious was nicely wrong.

"Ah! What..... what are you doing?”
“Hey, stay still. Cool."

It's sticking. Faust's body like a cicada on an old tree
Hanging Koola enjoyed the flow of Faust's mana. no matter how
I got used to it, but I hate the heat. The embarrassing thing
Rather, it was Faust.

“Is there no such thing as shame?”

Koola, who showed unimaginable behavior in Burg etiquette,
Specially harassed Faust. Back
The soft and fresh scent of a young woman
Besides, Uakan's clothes were thin enough to show the insides to match the heat.
It was difficult to maintain composure.

"what. Cool but hot”

Said the hanging Koola.

'Of course it's hot. It’s this woman.’

Walking through the jungle, towards the Koola hanging from behind
It was Faust who resented not resentment.
I don’t know the atmosphere of Huakhan, but the problem between men and women
It seemed to be thought naturally. Walking together
Even in the sexual contact between Koola and Quitla,
I didn't care much. It was then. Koola's hand complaining about being hot
Stuttering and coveting Quitla's body.

"What?! What are you doing?"
“It’s the hottest here!”

Koola's hand is so casual
I gripped the place where all the blood of Quitla was gathered.

"Ahh! This isn't it!”
"Huh? What about”

Faust and Koola were looking around
Tata raised her hand to remind her of her surroundings.

"Shh! Now you are at the beginning of the jungle center. Koola later and come down first.”

[FT] Stuff at St. Laurie - Catalog Every Furniture, KK Song, and Kicks Bag to catalog [LF] 350 NMT

Edit: that’s it for the night! See everyone again!
Welcome to the grand opening of Stuff at St. Laurie by mikikaoru and Dawn_Princess!! We have every orderable furniture item, Kicks bag, and K.K. Slider song available for cataloging.
We plan on offering this service for quite a while, but only for one group this initial session. The first few posts will be limited to people wanting to catalog everything for 350 NMT. We are planning on offering individual groups at a later date. As much as we would love to get to everyone, we will only be able to take the first 4 people who comment on this post because of the time involved. We plan on accepting more people in later sessions.
We will begin in a half hour from this post so you have time to empty your inventory and gather your tickets.
Rules: Please do not DM either of us. We are not going to accept offers outside of this thread and will not move people up the list.
This post will be open for a VERY short time as we are only taking 4 people tonight. We are planning on doing these every couple of days, so watch out for the next time we do this.
Please be patient if you are in any group past the first. There are over 1900 items on the island to pick up. This takes about 2.5 hours We are planning to have 4 people on the island cataloging.
When you are on the island, please be sure to sit close to the modem/have stable internet connection. Any disconnections will be really frustrating for everyone involved.
Please come with 5 tools in your pockets to drop with your payment. I am trying to avoid people swapping items and to be fair to everyone coming to catalog.
When performing the cataloging, each group is divided into piles of 9 items. Grab 9 items and drop them where they were. Do not move on until you’ve done this.
You are welcome to skip over groups that you don’t need to catalog.
Be on the lookout for our next post! If you are coming to catalog, please plan on communicating via reddit chat rather than in-game to save time. Listed below are the items and how they’re organized!
Special thanks to u/par016 for having every item listed that we edited into our own groups!
