Hello my babies, I was tired of cleaning so I made a little dupe/alternatives chart for you!!! nothing will ever perfectly match puff 😢 but we can try our best and that’s what matters.
I was also astonished by how much makeup is now?!?! I cannot believe that the ilia blush is THIRTY SIX DOLLHAIRS. WTF. if you can & feel comfortable, Mercari or even eBay are great places to find gently used or new makeup - I did a quick sweep and found most of the blushes on both :•) I hope this helps just a little bit, even if they’re not dead ringers!! I love you sm happy july!!!
(ps it’s summer break so if you have any requests for other alternatives, please lmk!! I have all the time in the world for you)

mods I hope this post is okay!! pls disregard if not 🫶
I am feeling weird about this. I didn’t order anything from the new collection because thinking about participating in another drop gives me arrhythmia, but like. Huh?
How many influencer packages did we see?! With the WHOLE drop included? As far as I know, there were no shipping issues with PR packages…soooo why are my baggu bbs not getting theirs??? I’m sorry, this whole thing is just pissing me off so bad. Yes ik they’re a business and have to make money, but it frustrates me that aren’t they at least offering a small merch credit for the problems on their end. I am a poor broke bitch who makes bag charms, and there is no way in hell I would not resend an order + add at LEAST something little for my/the mail carriers’ mix up. This is not me hating on baggu, I promise - I love them, which is what’s making me frustrated!
if ur giving away thousands of dollars in PR to influencers who don’t care about baggu in the slightest…hmmm. It’s just making me mad lol I needed to vent!!
Ty for reading this ily and hope you get your packages/compensation soon <3333
eta whoever reported my post, pls dm me to tell me why lol
hi angels, sorry for the lack of pretty nails - I had a disaster and haven’t put a set on in the past few weeks!
I was just wondering if anyone was interested in a press-on trade! I have a bunch of boxes of Celebritips, and I LOVE THEM, but my nails are so unbelievably flat and my nail beds are so unbelievably short that they are just not going to work 😭 please lmk if you would be interested in them, and maybe we can trade! I’m a very plain person, so they’re all the sheer or bare salon u-ltimate line. I also have the mini gel lamp and uv glue if you’d like those as well!
I hope you’re having a wonderful week so far!! love u <3333
(if this kind of post isn’t allowed, I’m so sorry mods!!!) Retail Brand: None
I went to my lil shopping center on Saturday looking atrocious as usual (aka I tried, but I am always a little off), and while I was parked outside of athleta drinking my coldbrew, I saw a horrible sight: a girl who reminded me so much of me when I was her age. she was all dressed up in a super cute outfit, and I saw her covering up and turning away while a couple of girls in shorts and crop tops walked out of Sephora.
I could 100000% be projecting my childhood trauma and lifetime of not being skinny enough or pretty enough onto this girl, but it brought back so many painful memories of trying so hard to be perceived as effortlessly chic and beautiful, thinking I maybe finally got it!!!, and then seeing “real” effortlessly chic Stacy beauty in real life. I thought I was over feeling that feeling a long time ago, but it hit me so hard at that moment that I felt like I was twelve years old again and that I have only been dreaming this whole time.
I got out of my car and told her that I loved her outfit and that her dress was so pretty, and then I spent all my money on makeup I prob won’t wear for a while because I’m agoraphobic, but that’s okay.
If you read this I’m sorry I’m off my antipsychotic!!! love u
not to be dramatic but I am actually kind of sad about the whole ~lifestyle~ turn?? it kind of feels like the death of my glossier girl youth/pre-covid when I felt normal ☠️ just me projecting onto brand identities as usual, don’t mind me!!!
it was such a sunny day. the beautiful woman in her beautiful millennial pink jumpsuit that asked me “what lipstick are you wearing?” and told me gen g zip looked really nice on me. all the glossier girls were squished in and still giggling, just strangers swatching and picking up and laughing together. my mom, who was still herself. the flowers! the moss! it smelled like you and summer and fresh air and I wore my pinafore that was so in style. I came home and sat in the grass with my little pink bag and my little haul and looked at the sky and got a sunburn. it was the closest to heaven I have ever been :’)
