Do Lip Plumping Lip Glosses Really Work?

As a model for Il Makiage’s Uncensored Lip Plumping Gloss, I got to test out all five shades and found out lip plumping lip glosses really work, for a little while at least. There’s also a trick to using them correctly for the best results. *This is not a paid post, and I do not get any commission from sales. You can find the Il Makiage glosses on their website at:…

Don't shop IL Makiage guys.

Not only is their moisturizer blocking my pores like its aid to Gaza but their skin matching software was developed by the IOF for targeting Palestinians 🤮

We've all been raised by well-meaning parents and guardians, to believe that we will be treated equal regardless of our sex, and we can play and train and live unhindered to our fullest potential. But we won't be, and thus we can't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

You buy cornflower blue eyeshadow. You tell yourself, this is the last cornflower blue eyeshadow I will ever need in my life. Buy the eyeshadow, then until the next Tiktok trend rolls around, you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got eyeshadow that promises to kill a man. But the new reign rolls around too quick, and you feel powerless again. Then the right shade of blush, from the right brand. Then the perfect acrylic nails. The foundation. The false lashes. Then you're trapped in your own ever-hungry image, and the things you called art have made you nothing more than an ornament.

I say let me never be complete, I say may I never be content, I say deliver me from everyday wear super matte foundation, I say deliver me from Fenty Beauty, Il Makiage, MAC, Maybelline and Estee Lauder, I say deliver me from Victoria's Secret and ten-step Korean skincare routines, I say you have to give up! I say evolve, and let the chips fall where they may!

has anyone ever tried the Il Makiage foundation and can report back 🧐

[imnotgoodatthis]

The things I am not good at list includes makeup and hair style stuff as well as art. So here's some selfies of my exploration of both in my work bathroom. Recipe blog style blah blah blah under cut.

I want to be clear. The stuff written below is meant in a "healing from generational trauma" and NOT AT ALL in a "reclaiming my dark feminine energy by being a trad-wife" way. This blog is not a safe space for TERFS, the alt-right, or whatever the latest re-packaging of mandated gender roles is.

I was raised by a woman who had a lot going on. Her relationships with her parents, religion, men, the hippie movement, cults, mental health, troubled teen industry, etc., etc., etc., all came together in so many ways that obviously left their mark on my sister and I. The mental health genetic lottery didn't help either.

Where my sister got restrictive eating disorders, a yearning for attention that eventually led her to being credited on a Grammy winning track, and hyperfemme tendencies, I got basically the exact opposite. Food is equivalent to comfort, I'd really rather not be perceived too much, and I was so disconnected from all things feminine that when I first tried the (extremely hyped) Il Makiage foundation quiz I ended up with a bottle of foundation that made me look downright pumpkin-y.

I was raised to believe the following, in retrospect, absolutely insane things about what it meant to be a woman and a feminist.

Never enjoy butterflies, unless in a biology/entomology way.

The reason was that, as my mother claimed, only women in abusive relationships actually like butterflies. The symbolism of the cocoon was likened to the work needed to be done to escape an abusive relationship. If I adorned myself with a butterfly printed t-shirt, or perhaps those butterfly shaped hair clips that were so trendy when I was young, I was basically advertising that I was more likely to be susceptible to the manipulations of abusive men. The same basic fear applied to hummingbirds, tank-tops/singlets, dreamcatchers, stained glass windows, and any sort of baking beyond brownies and birthday cakes.

Makeup exists only as a way to market an unrealistic and unattainable beauty ideal to women.

Okay, my mom lowkey popped off with this one. However, it led me into a phase of nausea inducing not-like-other-girls behavior in my teens. Luckily, I was crushed under the weight of mentally pleading with everyone around me to ignore me, so I don’t think I owe any apologies to anyone besides myself.

Doing your hair is a waste of time.

Why should I fawn for male attention? A ponytail is perfectly reasonable and efficient. Why would I need anything beyond that?

Are you getting the picture? I was goblin-core before it was cool. The weird girl that was painting Warhammer 40k miniatures, only knew how to apply goth/raccoon style eyeliner, and was forever wearing cargo shorts and a Darth Maul t-shirt? That was me. I could recite pi to the 38th numeral, but had no idea how to simply say "thank you" when a teacher commended me on my essays. Sure, I had a black belt in both Tae Kwon Do and Kung Fu, but I didn't know how to go bra shopping until I was in my mid-twenties.

I was the shittiest version of the "raised to be strong" girl from so many YA novels (also deemed "stupid" by my mother, by the way).

In a topsy-turvy way, my mother's brand of feminism was insistent on stripping me of my femininity.

My mother told me that blue eyeshadow is for prostitutes. I think it could be for anyone.

2. Il Makiage is expensive, and it's manufactured in israel :(

3. they're having a "try free before you buy" deal on Instagram as of January 2023 (i don't have a direct link at the moment I'm sorry), unknown how long it will go for but they will send you the product free and then only charge you in 14 days if you don't return "it" ;)
