#Beverly Castor

[jolifleurbleu]

Twinbrook people are very charming.

[venniekeyy]

currently on week 3 of twinbrook rotational game play just switched to the castor family and gave Beverly a little makeover (new skin, hair, makeup, and lashes)

Twinbrook from TS3 to TS4

Obviously not all of them cause we all know TS3 EPs came with like 50 new sims. I love TS3 because its townies were either super bland or super eccentric :D there is no in between.

Еще ни одна симочка Твинбрука не давалась мне настолько сложно, как эта) Я в упор не понимала, как она должна выглядеть. Даже в изначальном виде от ЕА в ней есть какая то изюминка. Я перебрала множество причесок, но все что я примеряла было не то, пока не остановилась на этой. На мой взгляд ей больше всего подходит стиль с налетом ретро. Я еще не занималась ее гардеробом, но постараюсь придерживаться этого стиля. Вот что написано о ней на симс вики. Беверли Кастор Предполагается, что она познакомилась со своим мужем через сайт знакомств. На третьем свидании он сделал предложение, и теперь они женаты, и у них двое сыновей. Подразумевается, что семья Кастор - это стереотипная семья из пригорода 1950-х годов, которая верит в хорошую мораль и традиционные ценности, где жена следует воле мужа, как следует из биографии самой Беверли. Это также объясняет, почему Беверли - мама-домоседка. Похоже, что Касторы верят в стереотипные гендерные роли, поскольку Беверли - домохозяйка, а ее муж Роберт работает полный рабочий день. Что интересно, я полезла искать информацию уже после того, как сделала фото до и после. Ес��и честно я немного удивлена) Хотя на мой взгляд она бы отлично вписалась в роль хозяйки закусочной.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Not a single Twinbrook sim has ever been as difficult for me as this one) I didn’t really understand what she should look like. Even in its original form from EA, it has some kind of zest. I tried a lot of hairstyles, but everything I tried on was wrong until I settled on this one. In my opinion, a style with a retro touch suits her best. I haven't done her wardrobe yet, but I'll try to stick to this style. Here's what's written about her on the Sims Wiki. Beverly Castor It is believed that she met her husband through a dating site. On the third date he proposed and they are now married with two sons. It is implied that the Castor family is a stereotypical 1950s suburban family that believes in good morals and traditional values, where the wife follows her husband's will, as suggested by Beverly's own biography. This also explains why Beverly is a stay-at-home mom. The Castors appear to believe in stereotypical gender roles, as Beverly is a housewife and her husband Robert works full-time. Interestingly, I started looking for information after I took the before and after photos. To be honest, I'm a little surprised) Although, in my opinion, she would fit perfectly into the role of a diner owner.)

The Castor Family

Robert and Beverly, their eldest son Jeffrey and youngest Thomas

Robert believes in traditional family values, he goes out and earns the family money whilst his wife is in charge of maintaining a good household. Beverly is quite content with living her life at home as long as she has a good book. Jeffrey does not have the same values has the rest of his family and instead cares more for computer games and zombies. Thomas on the other hand tries his best to be the apple of his parents eyes but always manages to disappoint them.

[carolrance]

so, like, i know very, very few people care about this (i keep pleading with people i like to watch this but no one will!) ...but i do so here we go. we’ll see how long it stays up. if you’re at all even mildly curious why i’m so crazy about them, i suggest you watch the clips now before they disappear. here are a few of my favourite clips, mostly carol/helen, and sometimes just carol (cos i am her and she is me) and sometimes just helen cos she’s amazing. here is the full list in no particular order. [i bolded my fav faves.]

are you a dog person?

i can’t breathe!

i’m her scrunchie

do you get high?

little pube-y

i’m here for you and your glands

i think i might be happy

this is your star

she doesn’t ever ask about me, does she?

he’s telling people i have some sort of antisemitic twat

finale

doughnuts are expensive

how about you invent a time machine and go back in time and cockblock your fucking client

i’ve got those budget numbers in my office

almost got me again

you like working under her... or are you on top?

*boob grope*

this is not what you want from a second marriage

what kind of swirling vortex of fuck up are you running over there?

why, miss basch, you flatter me

you know helen

can we talk about the elephant in the room?

he’s much hotter in person

i think i’m just scared, of how much i care about you

what’s with you and bosses? have a type, do ya?

your cheap moisturizer, your stupid sleep goggles and that fucking scrunchie

i don’t wanna hike. i wanna stay with you

i miss you so fucking much

Everyday Makeup Products for Zoom School

Learn in a beautiful way with everyday makeup products

Remember that feeling of rolling out of bed and doing your 15-minute everyday makeup routine (thanks, YouTube!) before running out the door for school? Quarantine may have halted that last part, but an everyday makeup routine is just as essential now that you’re heading back to the classroom in a new way: over Zoom. 

In fact, it’s probably even more important now to invest in the right concealer and lipstick shade when you’re learning in the virtual sense. The last thing you need is to look washed out or have blemishes accentuated by the HD camera on your Macbook, and everyday makeup can do wonders for your self-care and self esteem during these uncertain times.

Things are definitely a bit different at school than they were last year, but you can still wow your new classmates with beautiful everyday makeup. All you need is a bit of concealer, brow gel, and perhaps a bit of sparkle… and you can do it all while wearing pajamas. Mira is here with a bit of Beauty 101 as we share our favorite everyday makeup products to make a statement this school year.

Boy Brow by Glossier, $16

Fun fact: Boy Brow is Glossier’s best selling product of all time. Why? Because it’s the everyday makeup product that makes everybody feel beautiful and on their best brow game. This brushable, creamy wax gives you impeccable arches that look completely natural, yet perfectly precise. You could tell your virtual classmates over Zoom that you’re not wearing any makeup products and just woke up like this, even if it’s definitely not true, because Boy Brow looks that effortless and will be your best brow secret throughout the rest of quarantine. Oh, and did we mention that it even contains Oleic Acid, Lecithin, and Atelocollagen to smooth and condition your brows?

Shape Tape Concealer by Tarte, $27

Every beauty influencer’s favorite concealer turns 20 this year, and believe us when we tell you that Shape Tape lives up to the hype. Very few makeup products cover dark circles and instantly brighten up your look the way this cult favorite does, and the top Mira ratings for blendability, hydration, and anti-creasing mean that you’ll always be able to say “bye bye” to dark under eyes and care for the delicate skin in this area. If you’re in the mood for a more advanced beauty look before class, this everyday makeup also works as a great highlighter when contouring your face!

Natural Matte Eyes Eye Shadow Palette by Too Faced, $59

When in quarantine, a little eyeshadow can go a long way in making you feel pretty. Or in this case, own your pretty with one of your favorite pink and powerful beauty brands. Natural Matte Eyes Eye Shadow Palette has 30 shimmer and matte shades to beautifully blend your everyday makeup looks for more than a few compliments on your Zoom call. Eyeshadow isn’t as much effort as you may think, as you can just add a simple wash of color over your lids for an instant boost of beauty. Or you know, show off your skills with a magnificent halo eye or cut crease… there are no rules in everyday makeup!

Extra Illuminating Moisture Balm by Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, $69

Casual reminder that staying inside doesn’t mean that you should skip out on your skincare routine. This is a time for sheet masks and a sparkly moisturizer, like this one from Bobbi Brown Cosmetics! It’s extra in the best way, made with ultra-fine pearl pigments to energize tired skin and restore your natural radiance. Wear it alone as it absorbs into the skin for your most gorgeous complexion, or get that dewy glow by wearing it under your foundation. It looks natural and radiant, yet extra at the same time. What more could you want in an everyday makeup product?

BB Cream by NYX Professional Makeup, $13

You can’t have a list of everyday makeup without BB cream, the #1 product to hydrate your skin and give you a dreamy, dewy glow with minimal effort. And you can always count on NYX to deliver affordable, high quality products that enhance (but don’t change!) your natural beauty. Apply this BB cream before a Zoom meeting for a burst of moisture and confidence.

Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 by Laura Mercier, $43

You may have heard that skincare comes before makeup, and while that’s generally true... you can totally have your tinted moisturizer and wear it too. This cult favorite by Laura Mercier has nearly perfect reviews on Mira Beauty, with guests writing that it lasts for hours, looks beautiful and bright, and feels extremely lightweight on your skin. All ages, all skin types, all different tastes in makeup, you’re sure to fall hard for this everyday makeup. It gives you a luminous glow that looks lovely on camera, and contains SPF to protect against sun damage even while staying inside.

Glow Kit - Sugar by Anastasia Beverly Hills, $40

Tinted moisturizer is ideal for subtle radiance, but you’ll need a highlighter to glow all out on your Zoom conference call. And don’t think it’s only for glam looks, as you can easily incorporate this sparkly must-have into your everyday makeup routine. Just sweep a bit onto your cheeks, nose, and forehead for a little shimmer that will definitely make you want to keep checking yourself out in the camera during your call (we’ve all done it,) or try a few highlighter hacks for something a little more subdued. Our favorites? A tiny dab of highlighter in the inner corners of your eyes to help you look instantly more awake and alert, or placing a bit of product in the Cupid’s bow area to fake a plumper pout.

Volum' Express The Colossal Big Shot Washable Mascara by Maybelline, $8

Here at Mira Beauty, mascara has a special place in our hearts. And also our beauty collections. It’s one of the best beginner products that many of us began using at the start of our makeup journey, and it’s never let us down when we want to look simply beautiful, but not too OTT. Even if you haven’t touched your falsies in months, a drugstore mascara like the Volum' Express The Colossal Big Shot by Maybelline can help frame your eyes and give you the long, luxurious lashes you desire. Just apply a coat or two and you’ll be good to go with any everyday makeup look!

Balm Dotcom by Glossier, $12

Ah, Glossier. The go-to beauty brand when you want to look natural, but still get that flawless skin that dreams, and Instagram filters, are made of. But you can’t get your lips get lonely either, which brings us to Balm Dotcom. This lip balm is packed with antioxidants and natural emollients to hydrate and nourish dry, chapped lips, and it’s available in seven flavors like Birthday and Coconut to make your Zoom calls more fun. Get a taste (literally) of natural beauty as this everyday makeup leaves a subtle tint and hydrates your pout with rich ingredients like Castor Oil, Beeswax, and Lanolin.

The Multiple by NARS, $39

Mood: all monochrome’ed out with nowhere to go. Except you know, a Zoom class with tons of people to compliment the beautiful color on your eyes, cheeks, and lips. As the name suggests, The Multiple by NARS is a multipurpose tool that saves you time and money while you apply one shimmery, spectacular shade onto every feature of your face. Celebrities love to own this look on the red carpet, and wearing it may just make you forget about the fact that you’ve been staying inside for months. Choose from a range of shades, including a shimmery tangerine like Puerto Vallarta, rose gold like G-Spot, or Copacabana for a sparkly pink, pearlescent hue that you’ll never want to put down.

Vitamin C Serum by Mario Badescu, $45

Your everyday makeup look needs a friend, and its name is Vitamin C. Many forget just how important this nutrient is, as it’s basically essential to the skin... yet isn’t produced naturally by the body. But don’t worry, there’s a serum for that. It’s made by your favorites at Mario Badescu (AKA, a VSCO girl’s favorite brand) to give your skin a burst of brightness while evening out complexion for better makeup application.

Matte Liquid Liner by NYX Professional Makeup, $8

There’s just something about eyeliner that can make you feel more put together, even when you’re really, really not. It’s one of Mira’s favorite everyday makeup products to put your eyes on full display throughout your conference call, and the options are endless with the Matte Liquid Liner by NYX. Use the felt tip pen to create an epic wing, or just apply a line on the top lid for simple beauty. At under $10, Matte Liquid Liner is used by tons of influencers and celebrity MUA’s. Why? Because the ultra-black, matte formula means that it won’t reflect the light in strange ways while on camera, making this liner perfect for your Zoom calls.

Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow by stila, $24

“This is seriously the best glitter eyeshadow I've ever used! The pigment is great, zero fall out, and stays on all day.” Mira reviews are all about the Liquid Eye Shadow by Stila, as it looks magnificent on your eyes and won’t give you the creasing or shadow fall out that most powders will. While this formula looks like it was made for more dramatic makeup looks, don’t let the shimmer fool you. More subtle shades like Wanderlust or Dollish create the illusion that you just spent an hour perfecting your sparkly eyeshadow, even though you spent like five minutes and it still looks perfect. Pair it with Stila’s Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner to be the true star of your conference call!

Insta-Blush by Revlon, $12

Living the cream. Or dream… probably both with this everyday makeup must-have by Revlon. The “Insta” in the name of this cream blush refers to several things. For one, it gives you a sheer, natural finish in seconds that suits any makeup look. It also looks subtle enough on camera to give you just the right amount of color on your Zoom calls, without looking too clown-like or risking the HD Macbook camera picking up any streaks. In fact, certain shades of the Insta-Blush are so lightweight and blendable that it can even double as a contour stick!

Brow Powder Duo by Anastasia Beverly Hills, $23

Don’t underestimate the power of powder. Brow powder, that is. Anastasia Beverly Hills is likely one of the first brands that come to mind when you hear the word “brows,” and for good reason. You won’t be disappointed with this long lasting and volumizing powder that lifts your arches and creates the ideal shape for everyday makeup. It’s been proven that brows are the most noticeable feature on your face, and you’ll draw attention in the best way with ABH in your collection.

From the classroom to Zoom, learn more about all your favorite everyday makeup products on Mira.

we love a boy in all black everything anyway hi it’s amanda again and i’m on my bullshit

『NICK ROBINSON ❙ CISMALE』 ⟿ looks like CASTOR DECODY is here for HIS JUNIOR year as a HISTORY student. HE is 23 years old & known to be WELL-TRAVELED, FERVENT, FLEETING & MELANCHOLIC . They’re living in MORIS, so if you’re there, watch out for them. ⬳ amanda. 22. mst. she/her

trigger warning: drug use, death, cancer

NAME:  castor “cas” simon decody AGE:  23 BIRTH DATE:  august 17th, 1996 ZODIAC:  leo sun, scorpio moon SEXUAL ORIENTATION:  heterosexual SOCIAL CLASS:  upper HOMETOWN:  seattle, washington EDUCATION LEVEL:  junior studying history FACE CLAIM:  nick robinson ADDICTION(S):  has been to rehab for xanax dependency DRUG USE:  smokes weed mostly but will participate in most drugs otherwise ALCOHOL USE:  yes POSITIVE TRAITS:  fervent, well-traveled, loquacious, dreamy NEGATIVE TRAITS:  fleeting, melancholic, vulgar, unrealistic LIKES:  greek mythology, radiohead, napping, writing DISLIKES:  talking on the phone, sunbathing, due dates, the beach

my boy castor here is an old muse of mine, dating back like at least three years ??? so i’ve got quite a bit about him but we’ll see how good i am at relaying it

cas is the reluctant only child of a right-leaning politician (father) and a paralegal (mother, deceased). he was raised mostly in beverly hills, but has spent some years living in seattle and toronto as well.

once he graduated high school, he spent six months abroad in europe, mainly staying in greece and italy. it was there that he sort of “discovered” his 18 year old self, and still feels like he left a piece of himself there. he also got really into partying, and did a lot of things he never would’ve done otherwise.

when he came home from the trip, he found out that his mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer while he’d been away. his family did not call to tell him, so he began resenting himself (and his dad) for so selfishly traveling when the best person in his life was undergoing treatment.

at age 19, when his mother passed, cas delve deep into a depression that he’d always sort of had but never let overwhelm him. he began using xanax on the regular, finding it much easier to just become belligerent or nap all day than to face the sadness he was dealing with.

between the ages of 19 and 23 he has gone to rehab a total of three times.

as for his personality

cas is a writer by nature, always romanticizing the shit out of everything. he thinks everything has deeper meaning than it necessarily does, particularly his interactions with women.

has an obsession with stargazing. go fucking figure. knows a lot about constellations and space. kind of pretentious when it comes to his interests but doesn’t actually act like he’s better than people. loves reading so so much. especially mythology. i imagine that he grew up with this fanciful library in his childhood home. something like this.

is VERY keen on anything supernatural which is likely why he chose radcliffe in the first place. 

actually very funny??? very self-deprecating humor but god damn does it win people over

tends to be fairly agreeable but will share his knowledge when he doesn’t understand a point of view

drives a nice ass bmw but doesn’t give a fuck about it. he takes little to no care of anything he owns, tbh. isn’t innately messy but just careless

and lastly we have wanted connections

- ex girlfriend(s) honestly castor would be such a sweet sweet boyfriend but they broke up for some reason or another. could be cheating involved on either end or maybe both?

- europe flings ??? idk if anyone has muses that have spent time in europe or are from there but i love the idea of him having this fleeting ass romance with some girl and like running around in barcelona or some shit

- to build off of that further... cas did experiment with his sexuality a bit while in europe. so that connection is open to men to, even though he’s mostly decided he’s into femme-identifying people. internalized homophobia who?

- give me some girl he’s lowkey obsessed with but they are not that close ?? like he writes cute prosy shit about her but they do not hang out other than maybe class or something

- roomies pls. lives in moris, though i imagine he may have at one point stayed in perkins to his own dismay. so maybe ex roomies too?

- hookups? i don’t think castor is like CRAZILY fucking everybody but he’s not about to say no to some hot ass girl

- somebody he lets read his writing... he has to be SO close to this person but also not??? like he wouldn’t want them to know too much about him personally but has to trust them

- friends and pals. fellow night owls. people he can bullshit with. nobody too dull-witted. i know i said he isn’t pretentious but that was a lie

Brows Tutorial & Products

Brows are the little details that change everything on a face. They mark your emotions.

Shaping your brows :

Okay so i never epilate my eyebrows with wax, I always do it with a tweezer because i have a very sensitive skin so this method reduces irritation.

How to know your "perfect" brow shape :

Then i take off the hairs that exceed my ideal brow shape with my tweezer.

The brushes :

Very carefully, i take my scissors and i cut very straightly hairs that i see exceed the shape after brushing them. Less is more, take your time and follow your brow shape to cut the hair that exceed. I don't recommend to do that step if you think that you can fail it.

Okay so first, i brush my eyebrows with a spoolie to make them straight and see the hairs that exceed of the shape.

1. Anastasia Beverly Hills ref. 12 brow brush (this brush is perfect because it's very small and precise to recreate little hairs)

2. Dior ref. 13 concealer brush (just a regular flat concealer brush to clean with concealer or brow enhancer above, under and between your brows)

The products :

3. Sephora brow enhancer (perfect for cleaning and highlighting your brows) nontoxic

4. L'Oréal infaillible full wear concealer (full coverage concealer for cleaning your arch) nontoxic but contains allergens

5. Nocibé brow pomade (use your favorite brow product, you can replace it by a brow powder... Etc.)

Choose the right type of product for your brows. If you are a beginner, choose an easy product like a brow pencil for a natural effect and if you know you're not gonna mess up and you want a more glam result, the brow pomade is perfect for you.

Choose the right color for your brows. One shade lighter than your hair to not having too dark brows. If your brunette or blonde, don't choose a shade with red or orange undertone but a ash shade.

If you have cut too much your brows, apply castor oil to make them growing faster.

Enjoy your new brows.
