Got this set from Sephora Germany. I was curious about the shade of the D Bronzi and tried it on the back of my hand. THIS THING SMELLS RANCID, MUSTY AND JUST 🤢 it's clearly expired, at least it smells like it.
I don't think I've ever tried it in store, just bought it online 2 days ago. But I am sure it's not supposed to smell like this. Anyone else had this experience? What's the smell supposed to be like?
Got this body wash to help with my body acne and I almost fainted in the shower for how strong the fragrance is 😂
The formula is actually nice and didn't dry out my skin at all. Is there anything else out there that has at least 2% salicylic acid and doesn't cost a kidney?
Thank you u/Sure_Bag2722 for sharing these amazing pictures of your sweet baby and I hope you won't mind this collage.
I am definetely number 10 today 😂
DHL doesn't know that they are delivering dopamine to me together with the shit I bought.
You know that blue light that appears once in a while when you feed your Pikmins, and gives you extra petals? I haven't seen it this month and I feed my guys often. I used to get it often, I would say at least every other day. Sometimes it was appearing 2 times in the same feeding session.
Are you guys getting it and I am just very unlucky this month?
Before moving to Germany I lived in Italy and for a short period of time in Greece. Since moving to Germany I still can't get used to the fact that drivers walk all these flights of stairs every day to deliver packages. I understand food delivery- we pay a premium for the comfort of a warm meal delivered quickly. But I don't understand how regular drivers are asked to carry all these heavy packages through hundreds of old buildings.
In Italy, door delivery costs extra and is usually very expensive. Someone might pay for it for a fridge or a couch. The driver expects you to come downstairs and meet him outside. I was always asking them to leave it inside the building so they could leave faster. In Greece, packages were delivered upstairs, but there are elevators in (almost) all buildings.
I always try to use pickup points nearby or meet the driver outside. Usually they hand me 3–4 extra packages for my neighbours, which sometimes I have to refuse.
Is it done to minimise time per delivery? If any driver is reading this- how are your back and knees doing?
I get lightly tan in summer even with daily SPF, so all my foundations end up too light. Last year I tried mixing in a darker LA Girl concealer -- it kinda worked, but I didn't love the formula.
I don't want to buy a whole new foundation just for the few times I'll wear a full beat this summer, but I'd still like something as close to my actual skin tone as possible.
Open to medium mixers, tanning drops, concealers, anything you'd recommend and that can be repurposed for the rest of the year.
I am looking for a cleanser to support my skin barrier while I introduce taz into my PM routine. My skin is combination and prone to acne. It's very sensitive around the mouth area and reactive to most cleansers out there. Double cleansing always strips my skin so I need a product for my second step that doesn't dry the shit out of my face but still cleanses decently. I am planning to use this product twice a day.
I am based in Germany and I'd prefer something from Notino, but I am also open to Amazon and Yesstyle options. The pictures are an example of what I am looking for.
I am coming from Germany for a day trip in Szczecin and would love to check some skincare or makeup shops. I will also head to the pharmacy to buy some meds - is skincare cheaper in Polish pharmacies?
3 years ago I tried the 2% BHA and it gave me the most beautiful glow I'd ever seen on my skin. After a few uses though, it started irritating me and I had to give it away. I never repurchased it but I've been chasing that glow ever since with dupes. Just for context: I do not have any issues with salicylic acid itself. I am using a toner with 2% BHA and never experienced any irritation with it. So it could be that my skin was very reactive back then or another active/ingredient in the formula messed up with my skin barrier.
I recently saw they came out with a 1% formula and I'm curious -- is it actually gentler, or does it deliver the same results? My skin is in much better shape now so I'd be open to trying the 2% again, but I'd love to hear from anyone with sensitive skin who uses it regularly without issues. And if the 1% can give me that same glow, maybe that's the safer bet. Has anyone tried both?
My skin is going through A LOT and I am so excited to use it.
Hair ties and scrunchies are not the main thing sold in a clothes store in my opinion. I see hangers, tags, receipts etc. more fitting to the theme. What do you guys think? One of the hair ties should have been in the Hair Salon set 🤔
I've smelled the Vanilla line in store and it's divine. I always have a hard time finding body washes without SLS or SLES, as I prefer those for daily use. So I was pleasantly suprised to see that the body wash has more gentle surfactants. It also has a pump which I always appreciate.
I think I've seen also a hand cream from this same line. Curious to read about your experiences!
About Face just arrived in Douglas Germany and I am SO excited to try their foundation. Has anyone find a good shade match? For some reason my local Douglas only carries the cool and neutral shades in store, but I am more on the warmer side. I wear 0W in Dior Backstage and 030 in Haus Labs. I was thinking about F1W.
Have you tried this brand? Should I be looking at other products as well?
Grabbed these 2 beauties recently - the Soulmates palette in Pink and the Mini pressed powder in shade 1 Fair.
The formulas are stunning - fine and blurring. I am currently recovering from a cold and my skin is dry and flaky, especially around the nose and mouth. The powders are somehow not clinging to these dry areas. They offer the most beautiful blur I've ever experienced and don't cake around the eye area. The hype is real!!!
I am not sure yet how I feel about the blush but to be honest I haven't done a full face of makeup since purchasing it.
Charlotte, if you are reading this, PLEASE release the powder from the palette as a standalone product.
Is anyone keeping the powder in their travel makeup bag? I want to use it for touch-ups but I am scared it will break.

Saw it on Dan's YT channel and I just wanted to say that GG should pay him 😂 he influenced me SOOO hard!
I heard it should also hit the stores in Germany in the next few days. Hopefully we will be able to get it more easily in DM.
I wanted to share my most prized possession with you 😍 I own quite a few expensive bags but this one beats them all. It looks good with every outfit and every color. To this day I still can't believe I found it. I was trying to find a good baguette bag in this exact color but with no success. It's in perfect conditions and has no scratches. I can't find it online so I am not sure if it's vintage Fossil or smth else.
edit: the color shows a bit desaturated here but it's a beautiful and rich cool red

I was really hoping to complete the Easter Egg set but didn't manage to get the last 2. I was ready to spend my coins if I only needed 1 at the end, but the last 4–5 pulls were duplicates. I will probably manage one more pull before the end of the month but I have very low expectations 😂
Bunny has been completed with 12 pulls.
edit: Last pull was another rock 😭 I guess I just saved myself a few coins
