Brick and Vino lipliners, I think, can still be purchased new, as can the lash curler. I think Ruby Woo is still available, too, but likely reformulated. They've been discontinuing their old lipstick formulas and re-releasing them (the mattes have already been done; the satins, amplifieds, and...

Specktra has largely been a ghost town for years now. The vast majority of the membership has long moved on to wherever else, and the excitement about MAC in general has long declined overall as the market is so saturated and other brands are doing more interesting things and getting more...

Where is "here"?

This place in general has been largely dead for a long time. Pretty much any makeup discussion to be had is going on elsewhere (IG, FB, various subreddits), and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon. My mindful buy year has gone fairly well. I think I've been happy with most of the...

Organic skincare will not do anything for wrinkles. No skincare product will get rid of them. The only ways are Botox or surgery.

:wavey: Welcome!

Two or three times a week, never on consecutive days. Your hair likely gets oily so quickly because you're washing it so frequently. You're constantly stripping it of its natural oils which means it has to overproduce oil to compensate for that. Try washing less frequently — maybe other day...

You were disrespectful — first to men, and now to me (as well as patronizing!) because I called you out on it. That is unacceptable. I am locking this thread.

You don't want to go too light. You could buy NC/NW 35 and 40 and mix them.

You’ll likely wear the same shades in their concealers, plus maybe a slightly lighter shade if you want to brighten under the eyes.

You could apply blush with a lighter hand, or by picking up some product and taking most of it off on the back or palm of your hand before applying it to the cheeks. Similar with highlighter. I can't help you much in terms of looking for a carry case, unfortunately.

There are men who are members here who understand makeup perfectly (one of them is a working makeup artist for film and TV). There are other men who aren't members here who understand it. So you (and the idea the OP initially introduced almost seven years ago now) can take this rubbish point of...

Why not splurge on the real deal?

Chanel is not a "budget-friendly" brand.

You need to tell them. They will know the best way to help you. And once your skin is fixed, do not go above the percentage of tretinoin you're prescribed.

Have you seen a dermatologist about this?

My stylist has rarely recommended products for my hair, and has never tried to sell me anything.

(2022 thread) 2023 marks nine-plus years since the first Low-Buy thread was started on here way back in December 2013 (that thread was focused on 2014)! Last year I decided to change the name to Mindful Buy to focus less on the amount of money spent on makeup (although that can be helpful for...
