Victoria Secret Is Back!! Here’s Your Guide To A Victoria Secret Angel Makeover (Part 1)

“I feel like when people judge me they’re not judging me, because they don’t know who I am.” - Gisele Bündchen 🪽

Hiii doll, welcome to Arielle’s makeover store!! It’s looks like you set an appointment for a Victoria Secret Angel transformation. Is that correct? Perfect, relax and take some notes if you like!

In this NEW series, I’ll be going over things like fashion, perfumes, makeup, hair, nails, what you eat, and more!! I hope you all enjoy this series, let’s start on your makeover💗

Before we actually get started, please keep in mind I’m not a doctor and I don’t own any photos that are being used. Thank you!!💋

1. Start Eating Clean!! I know you’ve probably heard someone say this before, and maybe it’s time you actually listen to them for once. If eating clean is confusing, no worries. Let’s start with the basics!! Now, the first thing is mindset. It may seem off topic, but trust me. What I mean by this, is think of eating healthy as a lifestyle. Many people think of it as restrictive diet. Which, it’s most definitely not. Instead of thinking of it as being “restrictive” think of it as discipline. I can tell you based off of my experience that this way of thinking works!! Next step, is to eat real whole foods. Literally start eating what God has provided us with since the start. Eat meat for protein, fish for healthy fats, naturally fermented foods for probiotics, fruits for healthy digestion, nuts for fiber, vegetables to improve your immune system, etc. Real whole foods, will make real impacts on your health. And let’s not forget supplements help a lot too. However, I would talk with a professional about what supplements to take. Overall, everything listed helps to get that inner and outer glow.

2. Body Care!! The key to soft skin, smelling good, fighting skin issues, and obviously feeling/being clean. As always, let’s start with the basics. A simple body routine consists of a body wash, something to exfoliate with, (ex: African net or exfoliating glove.) and lastly moisturizer. Super easy, effective, and simple. However, let’s crake it up slightly. If you wanna smell good try a dry brush, quality sugar scrub, Moroccan Kessa glove, body wash, scented lotion or body butter, shimmery body oil, deodorant, and the cherry on top perfume obviously. Now, me personally I really only do all of this together once a week. Cause the truth is, it does take a while to do all of this with my hair care routine. However, in the end it’s so rewarding and I feel amazing every time. All of this is completely optional of course, EXCEPT the first routine I listed. If your not doing the three step body care routine I listed at first, sorry but I’m just gonna assume you smell bad. The first body care routine is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. Well, now that you know that let’s go over some products. I am not gatekeeping here, so here are some my favorite body care products. Starting off strong with, the dry brush from Kitsch that’s available at Ulta Beauty. For good quality sugar scrubs I love making my own or using Josie Maran’s (available at Sephora & Amazon.) For finding an affordable and amazing Kessa glove Zakia’s Morocco (on Amazon) is perfect. When it comes to body washes, Dove and Naturium (Target) are my top choices. My favorite body lotion is from Naturium, but Esos lotions (Target) smell amazing. Another great Josie Maran product is their body butter, it’s leaves the skin soooo soft. Next, is NUXE’s shimmery body oil that’s available on Amazon. I will be skipping my favorite deodorants, since I feel that everyone has different preferences. Which, leaves us with only perfumes left. My favorites are Strawberry Poundcake (Bath & Body Works), Philosophy Warn Cashmere (Ulta Beauty), and despite not listening to her Billie Eilish’s Eau de Parfum smells like a literal glazed donut. Hopefully, that all helps!!

3. Be Kind!! The year is almost over and it’s never too late to share your love with others. So be kind to everyone, even if they have hurt you. Try complimenting people more, like the VS models would hype each other up. Maybe try giving 1-3 compliments to people you see. Oh, and always remember to be kind to yourself. It’s much harder to be nice to others, if you can’t be nice to yourself. So, take this advice as you will. Just never forget that you won’t remember that argument in 5 years.

4. Skincare Secrets!! I’ll be listing the top skincare secrets I’ve seen the angels share for perfect looking skin. Starting off with, eating their skincare. Whether it’s Gisele Bündchen’s Elderberry jello or Adriana Lima’s avocado smoothie. The angels know it’s important to eat and drink their skincare. Some recipes the angels have shared like Miranda Kerr’s celery juice and Candice Swanepoel’s favorite smoothie are amazing for your skin. Overall the angels aim for clean and beneficial foods/drinks. Which, I go over in the very beginning of this blog. Next secret is, lymphatic drainage facial massages. These massages are perfect for sculpting your face, and super easy to do. I mean all you need is, either a gua sha or your hands. Plus with the internets help, you can find videos on what massages to do. Now, what I’ll be sharing next is no secret. However, drinking water is a MAJOR step to having glowing skin. If you’re not drinking enough water your skin will let you know. Seriously, water works miracles for your skin. It reduces puffiness and inflammation. Which are things you’ve probably experienced. So, go drink your water right now if you haven’t. Last skincare secret of the angels I’ll be sharing is, facials. Most models have facials done regularly or for big events. However, it can be a bit on the pricey side for some. But no worries, I’ll be revealing how to have your own facial at home. For facial we’ll be focusing on cleaning your pores. First things first, is steaming the face. The benefits of steaming your face are honestly endless. Which, is why I love facial steamers so much. For those who don’t own a facial steamer just use a bowl, hot water, and a towel. Simply, put your face by the steaming water and throw the towel over your head. Then, wait for about 10 minutes. Next, grab yourself a clay mask. I personally loveee Zakia’a Morocco Ghassoul Organic Clay Mask. Once you’ve applied your mask, keep it on for however long is instructed. After that, rinse it off and wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Making sure you thoroughly cleanse your face for at least one minute. Last steps, are to moisturize and massage your face for a good ten minutes. And just like that, you have an easy and quick pore cleaning facial at home. That I can guarantee you is probably 10x cheaper. With that all being said, that’s all of the skincare secrets I have to share in this blog. However, I of course will be sharing more in my other upcoming blogs!!

5. Workout!! As we know, working out is so good for our health. It’s incredibly important for our bodies to move everyday. Now, I’m not saying to do an intense workout everyday. But, maybe go on a 20-30 minute walk everyday. You can also make a workout plan. Try aiming to do pilates, a dance workout, or any workout in general every 3-4 days each week. Not only does this help with a busy schedule, but also will make you feel productive.

6. Sleep!! In order to have a proper makeover you must get sleep. Getting sleep for at least 8 hours will help with your energy, digestion system, eye health, and your brain functioning properly. Sleeping will overall improve your health. So, making a night routine that will help you go to bed at a certain time.

7. Read And Journal More!! Reading and journaling can often be used to refresh our minds. Both can help relive stress, anxiety, and improve our health. Of course, be mindful of what you read. Some books can be bad for our health, so be aware. However, taking a break from our phones to read or journal should become an everyday habit. Maybe go outside and be with nature as you read or write. Take the time to breathe and sort through your thoughts.

8. Self Care Sundays!! Before the new week comes along, take the time to do some self care. Workout, shower, do karaoke, a face mask, eat nutritious foods, drink tea, watch your favorite movie, wash your bedding, read or journal, plan for the week, go on a walk, dress up cute, do your skincare, clean your room, give yourself a spa day, etc. Just do what you love and what makes you feel genuinely happy.

”The more you trust your intuition, the more empowered you become, the stronger you become, and the happier you become.” - Gisele Bündchen 🐚

Thank you dolls for reading this until the end!! I hope you enjoy this series 💗

Remember to trust your intuition and stay pretty.

Xoxo, Arielleslipgloss 💋🎀

i actually need military! ellie surprising her wife at home i woudl die sksksk

sorry this is so randkm😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

Miss me sugar?

Military!Ellie X Reader imagine

Summary: After three months of deployment, Ellie returns home.

Contents: fluff, southern!Ellie, mentions of nudes, kisses, Ellie picks you up, a little bit of suggestive language, pet name use 'Doll and sugar',

It was the first deployment you and Ellie had went through as a couple, and god it was torturous. You missed her desperately, her beautiful freckled face and gorgeous laugh, you both sent letters to eachother, you to her more often than not.

It saddened you to hear from her so little, but you understood why, she was deployed in a country recovering from war- writing a letter to you wouldn't be her main priority, but you still felt a small warmth of comfort whenever you sent her a letter.

Unbeknownst to you- a warmth of happiness also comforted Ellie by your letters. The contents was always a a4 piece of paper, your handwriting scribbled on both sides tucked and folded into a white paper envelope along with two polaroids.

One of them was you sitting on the sandy beach that was located near your home, wearing your favourite summer dress and straw sun hat- wind in your hair as it blew behind you . The other was a selfie, you laying on your shared bed, makeup all messy and hair sprawled out on the pillow behind you- smudged eyeliner and glossy red lips, you wore a white spaghetti strapped vest, hard nipples pressing through the material.

Lets just say you helped with keeping her entertained during those long nights laying wide awake on the bottom bunk on one of the many bunk beds that were pushed up against the side of the white washed concrete wall in the shared.

She had missed you so much, her heart throbbed every time she looked upon that pretty Polaroid and the letter you sent her every three weeks. When she got the call that she could return home a month earlier than what was planned, she was ecstatic- finding it hard not to schedule a phone call home, announcing the good news.

But another idea nibbled at her, she'd seen those cute videos of soldiers surprising their wives by coming home early. The idea of seeing your suprise face, soft lips parted in suprise and eyes wide as you wrapped your arms around her neck for the first time in so long made her brain melt.

Well.... Fuck it.

•••••••••••

The soft chirps of twittering birds echoed throughout the otherwise silent suburban neighborhood, a soft breeze fluttering past her hair as she opened the door of her Uber Infront of the blue home that you and Ellie owned.

She thanked the driver, lugging out the black suitcase and slung the grey duffle bag over her shoulder as her boot clad feet began trailing up the stone path leading up to the porch, soft sun shining through the doors stained glass window, casting a colorful glow on the warm wooded floor of your hallway.

You were brushing your teeth when the sound of the doorbell rang through your house, you spat out the toothpaste, wiping your mouth before signing as you looked at yourself in the mirror. Pink stripped pyjama set, hair tied-up, out of the way and messy, your eyes still half closed, well you don't really think that looking good for the Amazon man is that important.

Fluffy socks met the carpeted staircase as you walked down yelling a small "Coming!" So whoever was at the door didn't leave, assuming the house vacant.

Your hand met the cold metal of the door handle, pushing down and pulling towards you. Your heart stopped. Your heartbeat loud in your ears, as you gazed at the brunette- eyes glassed over.

"Ells...? Is that really you...?" You whimpered, followed by a small sniffle.

"Hi sugar..."

Before you knew it, your arms wrapped themselves securely round her neck, squeezing tightly as her arms wrapped around your waist in return.

"Missed me?" She laughed into your hair.

"so... So much"

You looked up, your own eyes locking with her green ones, she pressed her lips against yours, tongues dancing with eachother- your hand moving from her neck to cup her cheek tenderly, massaging the supple skin in a circular motion.

"Think we should take this upstairs doll?.." she smirked suggestively, mouth mere centimeters away from yours-

You could only nod in reply.

beauty on a budget for someone new to the lifestyle?

since you’re only starting out, you’ll probably want to focus on affordable products and diy and at home beauty treatments.

you can get affordable skin care products from brands like cerave, cetaphil, and the ordinary. you’ll find all your essential cleansers, serums, exfoliators and moisturizers. you can order facial sheet masks in bulk cheap from amazon. you can also use aztec secret healing clay as a clay masque. skip the guasha altogether and follow a youtube tutorial for face sculpting massages instead.

good quality affordable makeup brands I used when I was nearly broke included e.l.f., nyx, wet n’ wild, maybelline, and makeup revolution. look into some other drug store brands within your budget and check reviews before you buy anything so you don’t waste your money. get generic beauty blenders and powder puffs, you’ll be replacing them often anyway so it’s best to get them cheap. you can buy cheap big makeup brush sets on amazon that’ll last a long time if you clean them regularly and take care of them.

press on nails and home manicures / pedicures will save you a ton of money and time. find a good manicure kit and pumice stone. buy a dollar store basin and some epsom salts to soak your feet. for press on nails I usually get mine from temu or brands like kiss and impress. if you just want to paint your natural nails, get a gel polish like l.a. colors color craze gel or sally hansen miracle gel. if you want to go the extra mile, invest in the supplies and learn how to do your own acrylics or gel manicures.

learn how to wax, shape, and tint your own eyebrows. you can buy an affordable diy wax kit like this one and use youtube tutorials on how to find the most flattering brow shape. (as a bonus, the hard waxing kit can also be used to remove unwanted hair on the rest of your body.) you can also find cheap brow tinting kits that usually last up to five uses at sally’s beauty supply and various other stores online.

if you want your lashes done, you can either get really, really good at applying a strip lash – my go to affordable brands are ardell and kiss – or you can invest in some bulk lash clusters and the falscara diy eyelash extension kit. figure out what lash placement will best compliment your features, then watch lots and lots of youtube tutorials on how to use it and practice, practice, practice. they take some getting used to.

when it comes to hair care, the very first thing you want to do is figure out your hair type with a quiz like this one and find what it needs to look and feel healthy. I have 2A hair, so I would pretty much always spring for nexxus for something moisturizing and lightweight, but I’ve heard great things about ogx, shea moisture, not your mother’s, maui moisture, l’oreal elvive, and garnier whole blends which are great for other hair types, densities, and textures. all these brands carry a wide variety of products from shampoo, to leave in treatments, to hair masques, to curl cream — you get it. again, read reviews. you can also use a cotton t-shirt to dry and plop your hair instead of spending money on a microfiber towel, and a satin scarf wrapped around your head to protect your hair while sleeping instead of a silk bonnet and pillow case.

if you’re into styling your hair, two of my favorite methods are heatless styling and blowouts. for heatless styling, you may not even need to purchase any new styling tools. I started out using this heatless robe curl method and eventually started doing other heatless styling methods like the ones on this playlist once I started buying more tools, and did styles like these when I didn’t feel like setting my hair at all. for styles that require heat, a highly suggest investing in a dyson airwrap – which can do pretty much everything – so you don’t end up spending even more on an arsenal of hot styling tools.

good luck, sugar

Rainbow High Sparkle & Shine ('Moonbows') Clementine spotted in the wild! And I gotta say I'm genuinely charmed by her. I love the muted orange color palette, the mismatched eyes, the new accessories (I'd way rather have a coffee machine and a book than another bloody set of makeup brushes), and the GLITTER LEGS. Of all the gimmicks MGA has tossed at Rainbow High since the reboot, this is the first one I've been 100% on board for. And just to get right out in front of anyone who wants to start griping about them 'ripping off Novi Stars'--

Are you seriously going to sit there and complain about a toy company "stealing" a design feature FROM ONE OF THEIR OWN BRANDS??? Especially when they've already reused this concept on Mermaze? You're making yourself look foolish. Please stop.

Glitter wand/space tube technology has been around since the 80s. Novi Stars didn't invent it. The only thing they 'innovated' was coming up with the idea to sculpt them into leg shapes. Not that original.

That's it, no more notes. I know I must come off as abject Rainbow High apologist, but honestly I'm not. Trust and believe I have a whole host of quality control issues across the entire run of the line that I could bitch about, should the mood strike. I just don't think the current round of changes are quite as catastrophic as a lot of people in the doll community seem to believe. Chalk it up to being in this hobby for multiple decades, enough to have an eye for the long arc of dolly history. And from that perspective I see the these changes as different, certainly, but not necessarily bad (if this sounds like it's becoming a recurring theme in my doll commentary BUCKLE UP kids, you are correct). FWIW I will admit to feeling like it's rather shitty that we got these instead of another wave of New Friends; why go to the trouble of sculpting three brand new body types if you're only going to use them one time???

ANYWAY-- extemporizing aside, I am actually curious to know what you all think of these! Bad as the slime dolls? Worse? Thinking of getting one? Share your thoughts.

Hi! Do you have an easy peasy guide to skincare and hygiene for depressed dummies? 😃

Hi love! Sharing a high-level, basic skincare routine and hygiene tips to follow:

Morning Skincare:

Gentle facial cleanser & water

Vitamin C serum + hyaluronic acid

Facial moisturizer

Sunscreen designed for your face (at least SPF 50 – I think that this La Roche Posay SPF 60 choice is the best option for the money)

Apply sunscreen to your hands, neck, and any parts that will be exposed to the sun (Don't forget to use an SPF lip balm, too!)

Nighttime Skincare:

Remove any makeup (I love these Simple makeup wipes!)

Gentle cleanser

Toner/serums (only use AHAs like glycolic acid or lactic acid and retinol/retinoids at night, using them during the day can increase chances of sunburning)

Facial moisturizer (can be heavier than the one you use during the day, especially in the winter or if you have dry skin)

Spot treatments (if needed)

Eye cream

Skincare Extras:

Exfoliate your face 2-3 times/week (I love the First Aid Beauty Radiance Pads but the CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser is a great drugstore option!)

Always use disposable cloths instead of a regular towel on your face to reduce bacteria, breakouts, or infections (I love the Clean Skin Club ones!)

Exfoliate your body 2-3 times a week using a dry brush or a scrub (I love the CeraVe Salicylic Acid Body Cleanser, but my favorite is the OUAI Sugar Scrub) and follow it up with a hydrating body moisturizer

Always exfoliate and moisturize before shaving, waxing, or other body hair removal treatments (look up the timeframes for the type of hair removal you choose)

Scrub under your nails daily with antibacterial soap & water and a nail brush

Vaseline is a versatile staple item that can be used as an affordable alternative to an eye cream, cuticle oil, lip balm, or hand cream, and can be used to treat any dry, cracked, or rough patches on the skin

Use a hand lotion and moisturizer on your feet with socks every night before bed

Aloe vera and coconut oil are great skincare staples to keep on hand to soothe burns, irritation, or inflamed skin

Haircare Tips:

Shampoo your skull, condition the rest: Focus shampoo on your roots and work it through your scalp; concentrate conditioner on the ends and work your way up until you reach the base of your skull - around your upper ear lobe

Always comb, never brush, your hair when wet: Gently use a wide-tooth comb, from root to tip, on wet hair to prevent breakage

Use a special towel to dry your hair: My favorite is from Crown Affair (pricey for what it is but worthwhile in the long-term), but a Turbie Twist from the drugstore works infinitely better than a regular towel that weighs down and causes frizzy, damaged hair

Always use a heat protection spray before blow drying or straightening/curling your hair: (Briogeo and Oribe products are my love for all haircare products, including their blowdry creams – also love R +Co. for a heat protection styling mist)

Choose your hair ties wisely: Use seamless or silk hair ties exclusively to prevent breakage or awkward creases on your hair. Wear a silk scrunchie if you prefer. These hair ties from Amazon are my holy grail (only $7 for 100 hair ties!), and they come in a portable ziplock bag

Use dryer sheets to minimize hair frizz and water or Vaseline to slick back fly-aways

Other Hygiene Tips:

Brush teeth, floss, & skincare (2x/day); Get a water pick, too, if you can!

Use a toothbrush cover at all times; Close the toilet seat before flushing

Wash your body towels at least once a week

Wash your pillowcases weekly and sheets at least once every 2 weeks

Throw out and replace your mascara every 2-3 months

Change your underwear and socks daily or more after sweating/working out

For those who menstruate, change your pad or tampon every 3-4 hours

Vulva owners: Use a fragrance-free soap on the outside, only water to clean the inside – no fancy wipes or douching. Wipe front to back!

Wear cotton underwear whenever possible; Find a fabric that breathes

Have a similar buttocks cleansing routine that you do for your face to prevent embarrassing zits or acne

Don't shave between waxes; Use tweezers if necessary a few days after your hair removal treatment

Always wash your hands before touching your face

Hope this helps xx

🫧🧼Hygiene Tips I Learned Recently🧼🫧

The TikTok algorithm has finally borne fruit, and I went down a rabbithole of people talking about their best tips. And me being me, I took notes. Credit goes mostly to vanilla swirl and pickleflipflops for these, their videos have saved me I swear.

Hair

Using glycolic acid as a scalp exfoliator. I'm allergic to a lot of things they put in normal scalp exfoliators so this one is a game changer.

Double shampooing. My hairdresser told me to do this too FWIW.

Stop overconditioning. If you have hair like mine (low porosity 2C-3A), you don't need a rinse out and leave in conditioner. Just pick one.

Teeth

OK, so I do my 'everything toothbrush' on the same days I wash my hair (twice a week) in the evening, but you can totally do this every time if you want, I'm just unmotivated. For me, this means: 1. Oil pulling for 10 minutes 2. Brushing my teeth with fluoride (I like the Tom's cinnamon one) 3. Scraping my tongue 4. Water flossing 5. Hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash (I'm allergic to mint)

When water flossing, use a mouthwash instead of water (or, in my case, adding a little hydrogen peroxide to it) for extra clean teeth.

Brush your teeth before eating breakfast. I didn't grow up with this so it's taking some getting used to.

When using fluoride toothpaste, leave it on for a bit after brushing.

Skincare

Double cleansing with oil based and water based cleansers even when you don't wear makeup, especially in the evening. Really make sure to get all the sunscreen off.

Adding castor oil to moisturiser.

Using castor oil under the eyes daily gets rid of dark circles.

Hypochlorous acid spray instead of cleansing in the morning (for all us executive dysfunction havers), and spraying it throughout the day to keep your face clean.

If you get really red, painful skin after eating certain foods, it could be a fungal thing. My dad had that for years and it's gone now because he uses an antifungal.

Showering

Dry brushing before getting in the shower. I lied when I said this is recent I've been hearing about this for years but it's important enough that I'm putting it here.

Wash your body after you've washed your hair. I like to do my whole hair routine and put it up in a T shirt, then go back into the shower to wash my face and body.

Double cleanse your body, first with a bar of soap, then with a body wash. Oh, also wash your legs and feet properly.

When you get out of the shower, thoroughly dry your armpits, between your toes, your privates, and your crack. The rest of your body, leave damp for your lotion.

Put on lotion before body oil. Oil traps in whatever's underneath, so if you put oil first, you're wasting lotion.

Body Odour and Perfumes

Glycolic acid kills the bacteria under your arms that cause odour. I don't even need to use deodorant anymore because there's just no smell.

If you still smell, try using a benzoyl peroxide cream as a mask, leave it on for 5 minutes then wash it off.

Places to spray perfumes: inner forearms near the elbow (putting it on your wrists means it'll rub off faster), middle of the chest/collarbones.

Toileting

Use! A! Bidet! After! You! Poop! If there's no built in one where you are, they have portable ones for like $30 on Amazon.

Apparently, wiping from front to back means the direction you're wiping? And not just to do your vulva first? It kinda hurts for me to do that but I don't want poop particles up around there so.

Misc.

Disinfect your phone and headphones once a week. I know you don't do that already. Dirty phones and headphones cause acne and also it's just gross.

Take your underwear off at night. Wear boxers or pyjama shorts or something if you want, but nothing too tight.

Not really a hygiene tip but waxing your eyebrows and dyeing them every couple of weeks means you never have to fill them in again. Same goes with dyeing your eyelashes and mascara.

Since I see a lot of people often say “where do I get this?” or “How much does this cost!” or “ahhh I want this” in the notes often, I decided to make a post of figure collecting sites and tips on figure collecting! I hope this post will be of assistance!

General Don’ts of Figures:

If the price is too good to be true (and it isn’t an official or trusted site), it is too good to be true! Beware, bootleggers are everywhere these days!

If the seller or the item listing is not telling you the maker/studio of the figure, don’t trust it!

If the title of the figure is some extremely long jumbled sentence of descriptor or media words (as seen below) then don’t trust it. These are just search words so more people will see the figure listing.

If you’re on sites like Etsy, EBay, or Amazon and the seller says that they “handmade” the figures, it is most likely BS and just bootlegs.

In general stay away from Etsy, EBay, or Amazon to buy figures unless the seller has given undeniable proof (usually pictures of the box it came with or you can simply ask for pictures of the figure) that they are just reselling an official or GK figure.

Stay away from Instagram and Tiktok ads.

General Dos of Figures:

Second hand buying is always encouraged!

Buy from sellers or stores based in Japan! Prices will generally run cheaper and figures are released sooner there!

Support GK (garage kit) studios! GK studios make unofficial figures, they are all mostly indie run and make the figures they sell themselves! GK figures tend to run more expensive, but they are valued part of the figure community.

Keep your boxes! Boxes are important for transferring figures and they’re basically the pedigree papers of anime figures.

Be wise with your money. Figure collecting is just a hobby at the end of the day, please save your money if you need it!

Makeup or paint brushes are ideal for dusting figures!

I would recommend having Whatsapp or PayPal. Lots of figure collecting sites have PayPal as a pay option.

List of Trusted Figure or Merch Sites:

Second Hand Sites:

These are sites where you can buy used or even new figures from resellers! All of these sites ship internationally!

AmiAmi (Japan Based)

AmiAmi is one of the most trusted website for figure collecting and anime merch! They sell pre order and new figures as well as used figures!

Mandarake (Japan Based)

Sells second hand figures, manga, doujin, and more! Has an international website!

Neokyo (Proxy Site)

Neokyo is a proxy site, meaning it basically acts as your second man for things like JPN Mercari, JPN Yahoo Auctions, etc. all you have to do is buy the figure you see and pay for shipping, and it will make sure your item arrives safely!

Buyee (Proxy Site)

Same as Neokyo

ZenMarket (Proxy Site)

Same as Neokyo and Buyee

Mercari (US Based)

Mercari basically operates like EBay! Mercari does not ship internationally, but there may be a Mercari specific to your region (for example, JPN Mercari).

Non Second Hand Sites:

All these sites do not sell second hand figures so they will be more expensive! Some sell only official figures, while others sell only GK figures! All ship internationally!

DekaiAnime (UK/EU Based)

GamerSheek (UK/EU Based)

GKCollectors (Singapore Based)

(Sells NSFW figures, so minors tread carefully)

FigureChoice

(Sells NSFW Figures)

FavorGK

(Sells NSFW Figures)

Fanoey (Hong Kong Based)

Solaris Japan

(Sells NSFW Figures)

Big Bad Toystore (US Based)

WeAreAnimeCollectors

(Sells NSFW Figures)

How does the pre order process work?

When figures are in pre order, that means you will pay for the base price of the figure (or a deposit as some sites have) and then when the figure is finally released and ready to ship, then you will pay for shipping! Shipping is calculated by size and weight of the box, so be prepared to spend as low as 20 USD or up to even 100 USD for shipping.

I hope this post was of some help to you! Have fun figure collecting and please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions or are confused about any info!

Magic Mixies Pixie Supremes Comprehensive Comparison (December 2024)

Top left Luna, top right rare "shimmer" Luna, bottom left Skylar, bottom right Aria.

The Magic Mixies Pixie Supremes are 10-inch fashion dolls from Moose Toys, based on their highly successful line 'Magic Mixies Pixlings', 6-inch mini dolls of humanoid fantastical creatures or animals such as polar bears, fire horses, and deer. The Pixie Supremes and Pixlings have very similar head molds and facial screenings, as well as gems embedded in the dolls' foreheads. There are currently three Pixie Supremes: Luna, Skylar, and Aria. All are based on butterflies.

Luna & Shimmer Luna

Luna was the first Supreme to be revealed, and is the only non-exclusive. I've personally seen her for sale at Target and on Amazon. She has a butterfly-wing themed dress, a small butterfly beauty mark beneath her mouth, and a light pink and blue hair blend. Her color scheme is primarily purple and blue.

1 in 6 Luna's are the rare "shimmer" variant with an altered dress and a pink and blue color scheme.

"Shimmer" Luna has red lipstick instead of purple, and her butterfly beauty spot is red as well, and there's tinsel in her hair.

Comparing irl photos from two unboxings on YouTube (normal Luna unboxing from Zombiexcorn, shimmer Luna unboxing from Kaya&Dolls) the shimmer Luna *might* have more pink in her eye makeup, but it's honestly hard to tell, might just be a trick of different lighting.

The dress is obviously the biggest difference, but Shimmer's shoes are also pink on top with an ombre to purple, while normal Luna's are solid purple. Something I didn't notice until I watched those unboxings was that Shimmer's little mini-dress under her skirt-wings has shiny decals on it, which normal Luna's does not.

Their jewelry seems to be the same, necklace, earrings, and butterfly headpiece. The wand/comb is partially pink for Shimmer. Their wings appear identical.

Skylar

Skylar is exclusive to Amazon. I had not been able to find pictures of her box anywhere, it's not included in her stock photos like all the others, but finally I found an unboxing of all three Supremes, including Skylar. (AdventureFun! on YouTube). Makes sense I couldn't find any photos, because apparently she comes in a plain brown cardboard box with this inside, laid on top of the magic mirror. How magical, but I guess they can get away with it as she's online only.

But at least we finally have her art to match the others! They are all in the same pose on the front. And it shows that she's the only one with a second outfit.

Skylar has rainbow eyeshadow rather than the butterfly eyeshadow that both Luna and Aria have. It seems a bit backwards, as Aria is THE Rainbow Pixie Supreme, but perhaps this is just something to make Skylar more exclusive. Her hair is shorter than the other Supremes, and is just one shade of purple rather than a blend.

Even though the art on the "box" makes it look like her second look is a separate shirt and skirt, it's all one piece. This second dress and her second pair of shoes come separately in her box in paper packets.

Aria

Aria was the last Supreme released, just a bit after the others. She's exclusive to Walmart.

Aria's dress is like a midpoint between Luna's and Skylar's. It has the second layer on top, transparent mesh like shimmer Luna's, with a broader main skirt that closes in the front, unlike Luna's wing-like dress. Aria's skirt flares more than Skylar's, but not as much as Luna's. Her makeup is lighter and pinker, and so is her jewelry.

(these screenshots are taken from the same YT video linked under Skylar)

Conclusions

All of the Pixie Supremes have the same earrings, necklaces, shoes, butterfly headpieces, and wings. I believe they all use the same face mold, but I can't be completely sure because I'm bad at identifying those. They're all on one body mold with nine points of articulation. They come with a saddle stand, a wand/brush accessory, and the magic mirror case/fortune teller toy. Their faces and screenings are all very similar, and their dresses are of similar styles but vary widely in color. They retail for $59.99.

Sorry if this is weird but I NEED to know if you have a curl routine because your hair always looks so gorgeous whenever you post it!!!

Anyway I hope you’re having a great day!!!:D

-curly haired femme who always looks slightly frazzled

Ofcourse!! Not weird at all! Hereby follows:

OPAL'S PERFECTED TRIED-AND-TRUE DAILY CURL ROUTINE !

Step one: shower

I shower daily, and use head & shoulders smooth&silky shampoo to wash my hair thoughroly, sometimes even double shampoo. I know, I know, it dries out your hair and stuff, but I cannot put on pj's and go to bed covered with outside germs. Ain't happening. Plus the daily product buildup is FIERCE so it's good to have a fresh start every night. After shampooing I use the regular head&shoulders conditioner. Out of the shower I dry my hair a little bit by sliding the towel gently over my hair and dabbing lightly. Just getting it to the point of not literally sopping wet.

Step two: product

What you're going to need:

This thing, which my mom gets from idk where. But shoutout my mom for helping me out here.

I take two pumps of the cream, spread it on my palms and use my hands to comb through my hair gently in a backwards slicking motion. At this point you should look like a a douche that slicks their hair back. Then I lightly shake my hair out with my fingers, take another pump of the cream, spread it on my palms, and squeeze it into larger clumps of curls.

Pattern strong hold gel. I get it off Amazon, and truly, this is the best hair gel I've ever used. It holds the hair firmly without leaving it sticky or crusty. I love it tons! I take a small amount (of course this is going to differ according to the amount of hair you have, this is for my neck-length mullet) about 2 fingers worth, and once again rub it into my palms and slick my hair back flat like a douche. At this point I shake my hair out to not be flat with my fingers and wipe my hands so I can brush.

Next, you're going to need one of those large-tooth curl combs. I use this one by fifi but they're all basically the same thing. What you want to do is a technique called "ribbon curling", which was the absolute GAME CHANGER on controlling frizz and getting bouncy, satisfying curls. You should definitely look up a video to get a better understanding, but the basics is that you're gonna want to grab a small section of hair, and comb it UP & OUTWARDS while "sandwiching" the hair with your finger, pressing it on the comb. I do that for my fringe, the top part of the back of my head, and the bottom part of my hair, but for the bottom part, I curl it DOWN & INWARDS, so it curls towards the neck.

Afterwards I just spray 4-6 spritzes of this amazing texture spray, it makes your hair look moist and soft, it's a subtle effect but I never skip this step. It's like a lucky charm for my hair.

step 3: hawt air

I dont do this every day, but if im going to bed (NVER SLEEP WITH WET HAIR) or going out and I need to get my hair dry quicker, I use a Dyson airwrap with the diffuser attachment (it doesn't come with a diffuser, you're gonna need to get it online, I got mine off aliexpress for 10 bucks) I use the lowest heat setting, and just "cast diffuse" which just means I let the airwrap hover 3-5 inches from my head, drying my hair without touching it. Then I cast diffuse for a couple more minutes with my fingers in my hair, lifting it up and drying it for volume. At this point, your hair is going to be kind of dry but not fully. If i'm going out, I let it air dry for another 40 mins- an hour, (I just do my makeup and get dressed and usually it takes me that amount of time lol) and then I use my fingers to ruffle out my curls gently and break the gel cast. If im going to bed, I don't break the cast, I just let it air dry a little bit more (20-30 mins) and then wrap my hair gently in a silk scarf, and go to bed! :) by the morning my hair is dry and I can break the cast and it looks the same as if I'd just done it this morning.

Step 4: enjoy being the sexiest mf in all of the land!!!!@!!!! Bounce and jump around to show off your amazing shiny curls and let all the dykes marvel at your crown, running their fingers through it and giving you their phone numbers.

Hope this is intelligible :) my dms and asks are always open for questions or anything else!!! Thank you for asking love you bye 😚😚😚

[f1nns1deblog]

(meme stolen from u/FeweF8's post)

If you've seen photos of F1nn with incredibly realistic looking cleavage:

but have also seen photos of him that show he's flat-chested:

you may be wondering how he can do both, especially since he isn't currently on any form of HRT.

Well, wonder no more! F1nn's cleavage is indeed made using his own flat chest, but it's been clamped into position using a Misses Kisses "strapless", backless bra!

Here's what one version of these contraptions looks like on a person with an endowed chest:

F1nn's model is slightly different from this one as it features a straight bar directly below his cleavage. (F1nn purchased his multiple years ago, so all current models may be different from the exact one he uses!)

Once F1nn is strapped into this contraption, he layers a bra over it so that he can slide in whichever bra inserts were on sale on Amazon to fill out the bottom and outer sides of each cup. Depending on the day, he might finish the look with a bit of contour makeup brushed down the center cleft to make it appear deeper, something even the Kardashian girls have been known to do.

Now, F1nn has employed other methods of mammary manifestation! Drag fans will be familiar with the concept of a breast plate, as seen here on F1nn:

However, F1nn hates wearing them because of how hard they are to put on and take off, how hot and sweaty they get, and how they limit which outfits he can wear due to having to hide the neck and shoulder seams.

Now, the Misses Kisses mechanism isn't the most comfortable, either, to the point that F1nn tends to take it off after a few hours of streaming. This is why streams featuring F1nn with visible cleavage aren't all that common. Instead, F1nn's more likely to either wear a cleavage-hiding top and pop on stick-on breast forms with or without a bra, as seen here:

or, and far more often, he'll simply let the built-in padding of his bra or outfit do the work without any additional fillers, as seen here:

(Transparency note: F1nn's exact process for each of these example photos may be slightly different from what I've described! We only know what he's mentioned on stream, and he's never given a step-by-step tutorial as that would likely get him banned on twitch or censored on youtube.)

do you buy makeup on aliexpress too? like what's good and reliable to buy on there vs what isn't worth it

I don't buy makeup simply because when I have bought in the past, they haven't been good. I am sure you can get good makeup but I don't know much about it.

I usually buy whatever little thing I need. For example the last five things I bought was

laser light blocking glasses

a body brush

oversized scrunchie

a new phone case

headphone stand

These are just things I would have to buy from amazon or a shop but it would cost me far too much.

This blog is supposed to be a WWE writing blog, but since my last first day of high school is close, I wanted to share with y'all what I put in my emergency kit because I want to help you guys who will start school in September or October like me (my first day is 13rd September this) to be prepared because I love these type of lists you can find on TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest etc. So here's what I put in my emergency bag:

Pads: I've never been a tampons fan, so I put a couple pads for type (two large ones and two small ones).

Wipes: makeup removing wipes, deodorant wipes and intimate wipes because I found these three types in travel size at a drugstore in my town and they're perfect for travel, school, roadtrips, anything!

Glasses cleansing wipes: I wear glasses and they're always dirty so... yeah.

Deodorant: as for the wipes, I found the mini size of my two daily deodorants (I use a spray one that doesn't stain clothes and a gel one that lasts) and they could be good after gym class or regular gym.

Perfume: I already had a mini perfume a friend of mine gifted me for my 15th birthday at home so I put that in because you never know the perfume you put at home doesn't last.

Lip balm/chapstick: for all of you who have dry lips and if you wear lipstick, I suggest to buy one that also adds some pigment to your lips in case your lipstick fades away during the day.

Mint flavoured breathe spray: sometimes because of my ADHD brain, I forget to brush my teeth in the morning (I'm looking forward to make sure it won't happen ever again), but in case your breathe smells horrible for any reason or you just want to refresh your mouth, it can be a must-have.

Topexan s.o.s pimple stick: especially for the people who have oily or acne skin and pimple popping out all over their face like mushrooms.

Toilet covers: they were €0.99 at a drugstore and my mom suggested me to buy them because they could be useful if I have to go to the bathroom and I'm not home.

Hand lotion: I had to give a look in the bag because I literally forgot what I put inside- anyways, in during winter time, I noticed my hands get pretty dry and itchy like a some sort of eczema and I never had a hand lotion in my backpack, so I bought the less expensive one that I think it's unscented because I had a passion fruit one, but the scent is too strong for me and it could irritate my skin.

Hand sanitizer: I don't keep it in my bag, but I have it hanging on my backpack because it's from Bath and Body Works and if you're interest, the hand sanitizer scent is strawberry poundcake and the case is pink gummy bear shaped (I love it and it's also a nice idea for a gift).

Mini hairbrush: my hair's always a mess in the morning and I'm not really good at brushing it and it also has a mirror included which is the actual reason why I bought it.

Hair ties: I've been obsessed with taking hair ties to school since one of my classmates who needed one borrowed it from me and I hope I'll be able to help other people with their long hair issues hehehe.

Spray stain remover: whenever I eat, I always stain my clothes and I read on pinterest that they suggest to put it in the emergency kit, but I couldn't find a stick one so I had to buy a spray one on Amazon, I hope it fits because I don't know how small it looks like in real life (it was delivered today, but I still haven't got the package).

Medicines: mostly painkillers because last year I always forgot to take painkillers and whenever I used to get my period at school, I had to call my mom to pick me up earlier or

Chewing-gums: I'll buy them last minute. I don't chew these very often, but my mom has the bad habit to chew the inside of her cheek due to anxiety and to avoid that, I prefer chewing a gum than my cheek.
