Elf lip stain
I really like the texture and wear of the glossy lip stain but the color I bought (berry queen) turned a lot darker than I expected—can anyone recommend a shade that is a brighter pink or red?

Was hoping I’d like them more than LMNT (cue bot warning) but omg, I’ll just say that they were not to my taste. Like had to pour it down the sink not to my taste.

Until recently, I washed my hair once, maybe twice a week, with sulfate free products, and used a metric ton of dry shampoo in between washes. Sometimes mousse or spray wax, and then the conair hot air brush to dry. I knew my scalp was oily but I didn't realize that my ends were super dry and that was why they were so frizzy and flyaway.
Started reading here about the Abby Yung method--went down a rabbit hole of product recs and started a whole new regimen a couple of weeks ago. Still too new to determine if the effects will last, but so far, oh my goodness, I am so much happier with my hair. It looks and feels so much better.
I also found a heatless curl dohickey for fine short hair and decided to give it a try--washed my hair this morning, wrapped it up when it was still a tiny bit damp, and left it for about 3 hours. Unrolled, brushed gently, and this was the result. Next time going to try overnight but if anyone has any advice on how to get the ends of the sections of hair to wrap nicely, I would love some! Are the individual flexi stick rollers easier?
