I wore Dior Poison, but I never rolled nekkid/wore so much of it that it preceded me into a room.

It might be the Canadian in me, but I think it's at best egocentric and at worst flagrantly rude to cause others in the area to feel sick because of the quantity of perfume worn. I'm glad the person likes it, but when I have to taste it and then wheeze I'm not too impressed.

It's the whole individual rights vs. rights of others debate and there's never an easy answer to those. I just do my best to avoid those who wear a lot of perfume.

Thank you for all the peach/coral recs... instead of buying them all, I'll buy one at a time.. LOL Definitely thinking of getting two of the yellow playland lippie.


I wish my job had scent free zones. I get migraines INSTANTLY from strong colognes/perfurmes. This kid on my job would bathe in it. I always complained, but the managers ignored me. I'm like seriously, I smell you before I see, and when you leave. WTF. Strong colognes/perfumes, actually make me recoil back. I've been on the train and someone sprayed their perfume. I'm not an asshole, but that day I was,, I made a loud exasperating sound and made a big show of having to move my seat. I wish people would get that too much really is too much.
Even potpourri, incense, or anything strong can trigger one. I used not beable to walk in the perfume section in a store. ANyhoo, done rambling...

Hi Anna!

 

[Prettypackages]

it's not quoting right, but I need to pull flaunting it back out. But I wanted to stay away from purples this challenge b/c that's what I kept wearing for awhile...


So ladies, I'm lost on the day, is today Friday, 17 days? I haven't been wearing lippies everyday, so I'm lost. But want to wear one everday til the end now.

I would quote but I'm on mobile and it's giving me trouble. On the subject of strong fragrance, I try really hard to use very little perfume. I was on Metformin for a few months and the whole time, when someone would wear a lot of perfume it downright made me sick (which was saddening because I love perfume). That taught me to use no more than one spray of a heavy perfume (like Midnight Poison or Poison) and two sprays of something light. Also, this is just a personal preference, but I would rather someone tell me if my perfume is too strong. It's something that I try to be conscious of but if I can't tell I would much rather know.

I also can't handle strong fragrance. I used to work with a guy who wore so much cologne that it would give me asthma attacks. He was the nicest guy AND had a terminal illness, so I couldn't bring myself to say anything to him.

 

[DarylandCarole]

Oh and today was my Day 5. I wore MAC Chic over Staunchly Stylish liner. And now, just for an experiment I'm wearing Spontaneous Patent-polish lip pencil. Love it!

 

[singer82]

HG!!! Sounds like awesome news. So happy to see you all giggly n cute over your sweetie! Day 13: Wore Party Parrot/You've Got it on combo. Then after dinner just put on YGI. Would have just worn PP but my eye makeup called for it to be not as bright. But I just really wanted to wear it today.

 

[singer82]

I don't count days I don't wear a lippy. Think PixieDancer is doing it that way as well.

I haveny worn makeup in two days. I've been really depressed and just really haven't cared. I wouldn't have even got out of bed Thursday if I hadn't had to meet for a group project. I know I need to make an appointment at the health center but it's like I can't even get motivated to do that. We got a bit of a late start on our project and our professor sent us a really scathing email that totally just sapped everything out of me today. Plus I've been having discomfort in my gums that's really worrying me by they can't get me in until late April. Just never-ending.

Crimson, I hope you feel better soon. One of the many things that sucks about depression is how unmotivated you feel. It's so hard to do anything. Just give yourself a little time to feel down. Then drag yourself to a Dr. For meds or talk. And just ignore those nasty profs!

 

[Yazmin]

You misspelled "friends."

Also, that's what you get when you antagonize the kiddies.


LOL

no, the FIENDS are alive and well in the playpen

I will claim it and wear it with pride!

Hello, my name is Yazmin, and I am a (sassy!) FIEND!

 

[Yazmin]

Oh, and I've been buying up makeup like a total fiend (couldn't resist!) from Makeup Geek, the Patentpolish pencils, lashes and Inglot gel liners. I'm ready to play with some bright yellows and teals.

Got a skin biopsy done today, and now the numbness has finally worn off 13 hours later and the discomfort's creeping in.

@crimsonquill157 babes get up that bed and force yourself to move forward. You'll find that the whole act of motivating yourself to get out the house and do something for yourself will make you feel better. Go for a light jog or evena good walk. Put on those headphones to a good pandora station (so what by pink is my favorite station when I'm feeling down) and just kick life in the nuts !! You can get through it! There's people out there without hands legs or important vital organs living and kicking it. Go outside and make us proud! @yazmin I'm praying for good results on your biopsy and glad healing is coming through well. Oh I'm a fiend alright. The worst kind of inquisitive interrogative worst case scenario creating- Completely fantasizing - FBI investigating fiend. And iiiiiii like it! Lol Theory of the day: they're getting a puppy.

Fragrances and nail polish take me forever to use too.. I've been working on the same half of a double sided rollerball for months because I can only really wear it at home (my city is extremely "scentsitive" and most places ban scents). My two most used nail polishes I'm not even half way done..

Lol, that's slow progress but progress nonetheless. I have never heard of a ban on scents in Australia, I wear perfume most days but if anyone comments on it at work I always ask if it bothers them and so far no one has said yes even when I prompt them and ask if they have a headache or allergies.I try not to wear anything too strong like Angel though.

As for nail polishes- they take years to make a dent and I throw them out when about 1/4 is left and they don't apply nicely- I think thinners help but I haven't tried them. Feels good to throw them out but I have barely thrown any out lol I just have so many!!

I used a thinner on my top/base coat when it started bubbling on me and it works like a charm! Great investment.. although it means that it will take even longer to use a nail polish lol. I've been buying minis if I can.. My rule is that I can't have more than fit in the apothecary jar that I store them in. There's room for maybe 1 more.. haha.

Hello ladies!! I've been away from Spectra for so long and I just had to comment on this thread. I have bought 8 nail polishes in the last week. Does any one else get into obsessive stages with beauty products? I've been through a MAC, NARS, skincare, makeup brushes and now apparently a nail product phase.
