Just realised this post included a previous one I wrote and then decided not to post as I scrolled down and realised many people had already made the point much better 🤦‍♀️Which reminds me I wanted to ask...how do you delete a post you’ve started but don’t want to use? 🧐
You mean when it appears in the reply box and then follows you all around tattle? That’s the £1million question!

Tattle seems very keen to save any half-written draft posts.
You can just highlight what you don’t want included and delete though. In fact I think I have to select and use ‘cut’ as the keyboard doesn’t come up to access the delete button. You can also use Preview to check what’s going to be posted and then adjust.

But then the more problems they cause, the more tit they can sell you to 'rectify' the problems. Sali's skin would need less 'cosseting' if she left it the duck alone.
This. Then you would't need products to restore the skin barrier cause it would just be intact. You don't need to attack it with acids every single day.

Creating warmth she doesn’t have via poopy shades.

I'm in need of a recommendation. Used to use the Superdrug Naturally Radiant AHA toner (a Sali recommendation that I actually loved, although I already used Superdrug own brand stuff pretty much exclusively, being an expensive skincare sceptic, which didn't make me popular on the forum.) Last summer I got that REN Ready Steady Glow one in the M&S beauty bag and it was a bit sticky but fine. As I now live in Spain where I can't get my beloved Superdrug I went to Sephora and got some Pixi Glow Tonic. I never get reactions to anything but I got several sore spots. Any recs for internationally available, affordableish, gentle acid toners? I have normal-dry skin.
The Ordinary do a glycolic toner that might be good for you? Nice big bottle, not expensive and they definitely deliver all over Europe.
They have other exfoliators too - salicylic, lactic etc. Worth a look: https://theordinary.deciem.com/gb/rdn-glycolic-acid-7pct-toning-solution-240ml.html

I like the Superdrug toner too (and loads of other things from the Superdrug range, it's such a bargain) and I've liked the Ordinary skincare I've had. Quite like their foundation and concealer too for the price.

Made the grave error today of allowing myself to be influenced. Someone slap me 😭 I'm having a world-recording breaking miscarriage that's been going on for months and I felt so sorry for myself after my latest hospital trip this morning. My favourite Bobbi Brown tinted moisturiser has just run out and I watched Cher Webb's reel this morning with a L'oreal thing that looked similar. It's only 10.99 so much cheaper that the Bobbi one and I was miserable so I popped into Superdrug on my way home to get some. Decided to get the same shade as Cher even though she looks like she's waaaay fairer than me because I prefer a lighter base that I can warm up. It was 3 for 2 so stupid me also bought another L'oreal moisturiser thing that looked similar and (THANK GOD my favourite Maybelline Lash Sensational oil mascara). Came home to wash my face and try it out, get some glow back to my sad, grey, iron-deficient pallor and I am bright orange. Literally, orange. I've been influenced to glow like a bleeping oompa loompa. I think the only thing that will save me is to get a 1million mega watt ring light and take a selfie, because that way NOBODY CAN ACTUALLY TELL WHAT COLOUR IT IS OR WHAT IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE 😭

I’ve made that mistake before with L’Oréal bb cream. It really pissed me off. I can’t remember who’s Instagram I saw it on, I’m going back a couple of years. I bought the lightest shade and first time I tried it I had to wash it straight off as I couldn’t go out of the house - bright orange! Who on earth do they make these products for? Who suits them, and who repeat purchases them?

It's so annoying isn't it. I only decided to do it because it didn't look in any way orange on her, looked much more yellow toned like the Bobbi one I had. Stupid me :rolleyes: Who has the colouring of a satsuma?

Sorry about your miscarriage and your hospital trip. Hope the make-up looks better when the weather picks up!

I wonder if this is why Sali looks like she's picked foundation shades at random. Maybe she's going darker in a bid to warm up the washed out, ghostly colouring that a ring light brings to the party? What a weird bit of modern vanity.

I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through at the moment @Blahblahbuzzy. That must be absolutely exhausting in every conceivable way. Sending a big load of virtual love. x

It’s like she’s declared a petty war on anyone who isn’t familiar with her complete oeuvre. Or, god forbid, hopes for a quick up to date rec without trawling through her #thousands of poorly disguised ads.
It's so revealing. And it appears to be a coin toss, whether you'll get a churlish answer like this, or an actual answer. Someone asked for a generic moisturiser recc on IG yesterday and got "Fenty" vs "see my entire back catalog" 🤷‍♀️

You should have all the treats while going through such a hard time, @Blahblahbuzzy, but good treats not Trumpesque disasters!!

I’m now intrigued by oil mascara though?

I'm so sorry that you're going through such an awful time. My experience of beauty shopping while experiencing depression or trauma is that a mini (or sometimes major) spree does give me a little boost, but that I more often than not end up with purchases I later regret. Could you not exchange it?
