#pixi glow tonic

[batmanshole]

ylfvaaa do you have any makeup and skincare recs 😭 im trying to get into skincare but i have no idea where to start, i see a lot of people hyping up korean skincare but idk what products live up to the hype. and i need new makeup badly but im scared of ordering a primer and then it sucks yknow. you seem really knowledgeable so if you can help me out it’d be much appreciated <3

hi anon. before i get into this i love you. i love when people ask me about this kinda stuff. makes me so happy. cosmetic chemistry autism.

ALSO to get your primer thing out of the way: i dont rlly use it but ive heard good things about the ELF one and my sister swears by the NYX one and her base is rlly good. so.

also i'd look on the following websites / stores:

sephora for western brands / mainstream kbeauty yesstyle for korean and japanese stuff chic decent or individual websites for chinese beauty (i usually get mine in person tho)

under the cut cause its long af. also i linked to some products but none of this is sponsored or affiliate or anything im just linking cause i like em 👍

OK FIRST OF ALLL. starting w skincare.

i would break down your routine into three main parts: -cleansing -moisturizing / hydrating -SPF

if you wanna get fancy, you can do exfoliation between cleansing and hydrating. but you really dont have to do that if u dont want to

first: cleansing

if you wanna wear makeup you should have a good way to take it off. no. no put the makeup wipes down. they aren't efficient and u will go through SO many of them. and they're a pain and can irritate ur skin w all the wiping (trust me on this one LOL)

i would recommend using an oil based product for this!! melts ur makeup OFFFF like crazy + even if you don't use makeup it will leave ur skin super clean ^__^ ALSO you should apply this to DRY SKIN and wash it off with lukewarm water (the oil emulsifies w water and also very cold water can make it harder to remove)

if you want an oil-based makeup remover for quick removal w a cotton pad: clinique take the day off (47cad ) this one is expensive tbh and isn't as effective as the others BUT. it takes a lot less energy to use + can be done quickly. if you want a cleanser that will take off your makeup incredibly well while washing ur face: kose softymo speedy cleanser (18cad) this is my absolute FAV. i use it allll the time it works so so well and ive reccomended it to tons of ppl before and theyve all liked it. if you want a cleansing balm for heavier makeup: clean-it zero cleansing balm original (30cad) i haven't tried this one myself, but i've heard VERY good things about it.

next i would follow that up with a water based cleanser (so foaming or gel). this will help to wash away all the stuff that the oil cleanser has loosened up and will wash away leftover oil cleanser.

my FAVOURITE is the senka perfect whip cleanser (14.50cad) i adore this stuff!! ive heard some people find it very drying but i havent had that issue? idk i've also heard good things about this beauty of joseon green plum gel cleanser (14.70 cad) but i haven't used it myself. huge fan of BOJ tho!!

(this is the part where you would exfoliate if you wanted to. for a chemical exfoliant i use the giant bottle of clinique stuff my aunt got me but its not worth the price tbh. u could also try the beauty of joseon apricot peeling gel (14.70cad) IF your skin can handle it. its a physical exfoliant tho so be careful. i also enjoy the pixi glow tonic. u can get this at like shoppers or cvs or somethign idk)

second: hydrating and moisturizing

okay so. this is super important if you do a lot of makeup and thus have to wash it away thoroughly.

i start with a hydrating toner. this helps to add water to your skin and smooth it (adding water before moisturizer is a good idea bc the moisturizers will both add moisture and lock in hydration from any prev products)

i use the the I'm from rice toner (38 cad but on sale rn) which is my absolute absolute FAAAV toner. super hydrating super perfect and beautiful. stunning. (you've probably seen people talk about the cosrx snail mucin, and it is nice i will admit. but do NOT use it if you are allergic to shellfish or dust, apparently. also apply it right after your hydrating toner, it needs to be on wet skin)

then i go in with a moisturizer!! i like to use ones with niacinimide or other humectants.

my go-to is the innisfree jeuju cherry blossom dewey glow jelly (35cad) she's so important to meee <3 love her. all time fav. it is SCENTED tho, so if you don't like that, try: beauty of joseon red bean water gel (17.80cad) super lightweight and has no noticeable scent. ive heard very good things and my friend is trying it soon ^__^

finally: SPF

this is THE most important step. sunscreen. wear sunscreen.

apply your sunscreen under your makeup in the morning, and throughout the day. if you wanna reapply using a sun stick, that's great!!! but don't use a sun stick as your ONLY protection.

also i'd avoid pure mineral sunscreens unless you have a legit allergy to chemical ones. mineral sunscreens are not as good and a lot of the marketing is iffy. also they leave a white cast which is esp noticeable on darker skin. mineral + chemical ones are usually fine tho :-)

my fav sunscreen is the biore UV aqua rich watery gel / watery essence (26cad) legit the best feeling sunscreen i have EVER used. my friends who hate sunscreen like this one. there's also the beauty of joseon rice probiotic releif sun cream (24cad) which is very nice too!! not my fav but a lot of people swear by it for reapplying throughout the day, i would use the beauty of joseon matte sun stick (24cad). ive heard super good things but ihavent tried it cause im finishing my other sun stick rn lol

this is all fairly basic stuff since u said you were new to it, but i can also go thru some less necessary, more fancy products if you ever need.

as for makeup, my favourite brands are:

-flower knows -rom&nd (romand) -daisique -etude -lilybyred

and i've heard really good things about / want to try:

-colorgram -judydoll -flortte -amuse -clio -peripera -into you

ok sorry this is so long but um. lmk if you have any further questions but my arms hurt so im gonna stop typing now. MWAH love you

[unhingedfemmecontent]

skincare routine (for clear hydrated skin)

this is the skincare routine that has genuinely helped me so much. it is also all relatively affordable and widely accessible trough different websites and beauty stores. i have combination skin that is slightly acne prone (defiantly not serve so take that into account)

Elf Holy Hydration Makeup Cleansing Balm: $10.45 (i have gone trough 5, it is one of the best not stripping drug store cleansing balms it also doesn’t have a sent which is my preference for skincare!)

PanOxyl: $9.18 (i have gone trough 3 bottles)

Pixi Glow Tonic: $15.00 (it is an exfoliant that doesn’t overly strip my sensitive skin!)

Bubble Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer: $16.00 (i use both depending on how dry my skin is that day)

Bubble Level Up Balancing Moisturizer: $16.00 (i use both depending on how dry my skin is that day)

The Inkey List Caffeine De-puffing + Dark Circle Eye Cream: $10.99 (i honestly don't know what makes a good eye serum LMAO but i like this one because it is cheap and it does the job!!)

Lip Balm is a whole other thing im passionate about so let me know if anyone cares!!

May 2024 Empties.

Bit of an odd month this one for me personally. The highlight was definetly seeing Tenacious D live though!

10 out of 10 the gig & I would defintely recommend seeing them live.

Empties wise, I got through quite a lot of stuff, so we'll move onto them.

Some of them are rebuys, so as usual, they won't be mentioned:

Nivea Sun UV Face Shine Control SPF 50:

SPF is so important to use. Not only can it prevent sunburn & damage from the UV rays etc, it also helps prevent getting skin cancer. I've been using this for a while now- it's specifically formulated to be used on your face, it's not heavy & it hasn't broken me out. I have oily skin & this helps mattify it.

Dr Paw Paw Overnight Lip Mask:

This I've also been using for a while- it's the little tube of it & I'm surprised how long it's lasted considering I've used it every night! I tend to use this to 'slug' my lips at night (ie using a lip balm then putting this over the top of it). It's helped keep my lips soft. It is very thick so I wouldn't recommend if you have a problem with thick things on your lips. It claims its lip plumping, but I haven't noticed that but it is amazing.

Soap & Glory In the Glow How Exfoilating Tonic:

I love this stuff so so much! A bottle of this can last me a good few months- I use it once a week (it suggests daily but that's a bit too much for me) & it leaves my skin looking & feeling super clean. The smell is also very orangey so that's something to be aware of if you don't like scents in skin products. I will be replacing this with the Pixi Glow Tonic (which I also love) as I tend to alternate between the two.

Simple Micellar Water:

Just a simple Micellar water. Same as the Garnier & Sainsburys one. Not much else to add really.

Me+ by Superdrug Niacinamide & Zinc Booster:

I really like this- & the added zinc is a bonus. It's not sticky (it's quite runny), though it does have a strong chemical scent. It does what it says it's does on the bottle & leaves my skin feeling soft afterwards.

Boots Everyday Zesty Lemon Shower Gel:

This performs as well as the other two shower gels that I've used by the Everyday collection from Boots- however, this one smells super lemony.

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub:

This smelt more sweet lime than the body butter did! It's very scrubby, but it doesn't foam (than get quite messy as well though not as bad as thr coffee body scrub I used a few months back). I really do like Soap & Glory products which I think is pretty obvious.

And that's that for May. No makeup stuff, though who knows if that will change next month?

The Book I'm writing, 1st attempt b4 I got it titled- Chapter 16

Odessa's nimble footsteps danced over the uneven ground of the Lunar meadow, the rhythmic thud of her running blending with the nocturnal symphony. As she weaved through the dense cluster of trees, her internal calculations became the metronome guiding her escape.

In the solitude of her thoughts, she gauged the probable duration of the conflict left in her wake. The clash between Seraphina's elders and the group, combined with the chaos of accusations, painted a chaotic scene that Odessa aimed to distance herself from.

"How long will the distraction last? Seraphina will catch up sooner or later. Focus, calculate, move." The rhythmic beat of her steps harmonized with the mental cadence.

"They're still engaged in the fight. A few more minutes at least. But time is an elusive ally." Her agile movements navigated the maze of trees, each step a strategic calculation to gain distance. "The river is my goal. Once there, I can vanish within its whispers."

Moonlight flickered through the branches overhead, casting an ethereal glow on her path. "Swift, silent, unseen. Like a whisper in the night." The urgency of her escape heightened with every stride, a silent agreement forged with the nocturnal landscape.

Her pace quickened, a silent pact with the night to carry her swiftly to the river that meandered through the Lunar meadow. The cool breeze whispered secrets as moonlight flickered through the swaying branches, casting fleeting shadows that mirrored her urgency.

Each calculated step brought her closer to the anticipated refuge of the riverbank. The rustle of leaves and the distant echoes of the ongoing skirmish urged her onward. The river, a silver ribbon in the moonlight, promised a momentary sanctuary, a fleeting haven in the heart of the Lunar meadow.

"The river should be near. The silver ribbon that separates me from their chaos." Odessa's internal dialogue spurred her onward, a pact with the night to conceal her within its embrace. The moonlit meadow bore witness to her calculated flight, a dance with shadows and moonbeams.

Seraphina's grip tightened on Odessa's collar, arresting her escape. "Fancy seeing you running in the moonlit meadow, plain one," Seraphina sneered, her tone a blend of mockery and disdain. She turned Odessa around to face her, and her gaze inadvertently fell on Odessa's lips.

Seraphina seethed with frustration, her whispers more like venom. "You think you can just waltz away after stealing a kiss from the prince? You'll pay for this. I'll drag you back to the Fallen Star Court myself!"

Odessa's expression remained stoic, the silence more powerful than any words she could utter. She focused on maintaining her calm demeanor.

As Seraphina continued her tirade, she suddenly remembered the poison. "Oh, and let's not forget the little gift I gave you. The Luminous Nocturne Iridescent Ethereal Luminaelixir! You'll need the cure, won't you?"

Odessa scoffed at Seraphina's dramatic announcement. "The Luminous Nocturne Iridescent Ethereal Luminaelixir? Seriously? You do realize I know exactly what it is, right?" Odessa's tone was calm, almost amused.

Seraphina, caught off guard, stammered, "What do you mean? It's a deadly poison!"

"Please," Odessa retorted, rolling her eyes. "That's just a fancy name for the Pixie Dust Tonic. I created it when I was five. It's hardly deadly."

Seraphina's eyes widened in disbelief. "You... you made it?"

Odessa, seizing the opportunity, retrieved a vial from her pouch. "Yes, and here's a little something you might find interesting." With swift precision, she released the contents of the vial, and a subtle mist enveloped Seraphina.

As the mist settled, Seraphina found herself immobilized, unable to move or speak. Odessa observed her handiwork with a satisfied smile. "Pixie Dust Tonic. Not deadly, just a temporary paralytic. I'd suggest using more reliable tricks next time."

Seraphina's mind swirled with fury and frustration as she gradually regained control over her body. She couldn't believe she had been outsmarted by a mortal, and the humiliation fueled her anger. Odessa, on the other hand, sprinted with unyielding determination, her mind working at lightning speed to calculate every detail of her escape.

As the paralytic effects began to fade, Seraphina fought against the lingering stiffness. She clenched her fists, vowing to catch up to Odessa and make her pay for this embarrassment. Yet, even in her vexation, a small seed of admiration sprouted for the cleverness Odessa displayed.

Odessa, running through the Lunar meadow, continued to calculate the time left until the Pixie Dust Tonic wore off completely. Each step, each heartbeat, was accounted for in her mind. The river, her escape route, drew closer with every meticulously planned stride.

The moonlit landscape blurred around her as she pushed her mortal body to its limits. Every second counted, and Odessa was determined to make the most of it. The calculations in her mind became a rhythmic mantra, guiding her through the obstacles of the meadow.

As Seraphina regained control over her limbs, she cursed under her breath, vowing to catch up to the elusive mortal. Meanwhile, Odessa, fueled by precision and intellect, raced against time, her escape plan unfolding with mathematical precision.

Odessa, though momentarily halted by Seraphina's grasp, didn't let the setback deter her determination. As Seraphina forcefully turned her around, Odessa's mind worked tirelessly to formulate a new strategy. With a calculated calmness, she adopted a seemingly timid and coquettish demeanor, her voice laced with feigned innocence.

"Oh, my Lord Seraph, I must apologize," Odessa began, casting her gaze downward as if in genuine contrition. "I got so frightened by the chaos, and my instincts took over. Please forgive this lowly one for her audacity."

Seraphina, still seething with frustration, looked at Odessa with a mix of irritation and curiosity. The sudden shift in Odessa's behavior left her momentarily perplexed, and she hesitated, unsure of how to respond to this unexpected change in demeanor.

Odessa, taking advantage of the uncertainty, continued to weave her words with calculated precision. "I mean no harm, my lord. I am but a mere mortal, lost in this mystical realm. Your presence is quite overwhelming, and I couldn't help but panic. I implore you, forgive my foolish actions."

Seraphina, though still simmering with frustration, found a momentary reprieve in Odessa's apologetic demeanor. As Odessa continued to feign contrition, Seraphina's expression softened, and a subtle sense of amusement danced in her eyes.

"Ah, my dear, there's no need for such distress," Seraphina said, her tone shifting from stern to reassuring. "I understand these mystical realms can be overwhelming for someone unaccustomed to their enchantments. But fear not, for you are in the presence of one who can guide you through this celestial tapestry."

Odessa, maintaining her facade, looked up at Seraphina with wide, doe-like eyes. "Lord Seraph, your mercy is truly a blessing. I am but a humble mortal, lost in these ethereal lands. Your guidance would mean the world to me."

As Seraphina continued to offer reassurances, Odessa, with a practiced grace, delicately reached into a hidden pocket and produced what appeared to be the Lunar Ember Blossom. Holding it in her hands, she presented it to Seraphina with a respectful bow.

"Lord Seraph," Odessa spoke with a demure tone, "I believe this is what you seek. May it serve as a token of my sincerity, and as a pledge to follow your guidance through these celestial realms."

Seraphina's eyes gleamed with triumph as she accepted the supposed Lunar Ember Blossom. She marveled at the delicate petals and the ethereal glow surrounding it. Little did she know that the actual Lunar Ember Blossom remained securely tucked away in Odessa's locket.

"Oh, my dear Odessa," Seraphina exclaimed, "you've proven your willingness to cooperate. Together, we shall navigate the celestial mysteries that unfold before us."

In that moment, Odessa triggered the moonshadow amulet discreetly hidden beneath her clothing. A subtle shimmer enveloped Seraphina, causing her to believe that the powders Odessa had tossed over her were, in fact, the essence of the Lunar Ember Blossom. Seraphina smiled with satisfaction, unaware of the illusion that had just transpired.

As Seraphina continued to express her guidance and plans, Odessa seized the opportunity to execute her cunning escape. With a calm and calculated demeanor, she subtly retrieved a concealed pouch from her attire. Inside it was a fine, shimmering powder that she had collected during her travels.

While Seraphina was engrossed in her elaborate speech, Odessa began delicately sprinkling the luminescent powder all over her unsuspecting companion. Each movement was precise, and not a hint of guilt surfaced in Odessa's expression. The celestial particles adhered to Seraphina's form, creating an illusory glow that mirrored the ethereal beauty of the Lunar Ember Blossom.

Satisfied with her work, Odessa, maintaining her façade of compliance, offered a graceful nod to Seraphina and excused herself with a subtle smile. In a swift and practiced motion, she made her way towards the riverbank.

Without wasting a moment, Odessa propelled herself into the refreshing waters, causing ripples to dance along the surface. As she submerged herself in the river, she could hear Seraphina's voice trailing off, and a sense of triumph enveloped her.

In a desperate attempt to create a diversion, Odessa swiftly grabbed two tinctures from her pouch. "Take it! This is the Lunar Ember Blossom!" she cried, flinging them toward Seraphina. However, instead of the anticipated celestial blooms, the tinctures burst, scattering shimmering powder over the water.

The river sparkled with the illusory brilliance of moonlit embers, casting an enchanting glow around the struggling figures. As Seraphina dived into the water after Odessa, the powdery illusion clung to her, creating a celestial spectacle that momentarily captivated everyone present.

Xander's group and Seraphina's entourage arrived at the riverbank, witnessing the surreal display. Kael, Leon, and Selene exchanged puzzled glances, trying to make sense of the unexpected celestial drama unfolding before them.

Seraphina, now submerged in the river, felt the illusory powder swirl around her, intensifying the celestial water's torment. She resurfaced with a mix of bewilderment and frustration, gasping for air and struggling against the water's resistance.

Odessa, submerged and hidden beneath the river's surface, watched the chaos unfold from her concealed vantage point. The illusory display had created the perfect distraction, giving her a crucial moment to escape the immediate pursuit.

Xander, keenly observing the situation, maintained his composed silence. His eyes, however, held a glimmer of curiosity and suspicion as he focused on the celestial spectacle before him.

As the river carried the illusion downstream, Odessa planned her next move, navigating the currents and contemplating her strategy to slip away from both Seraphina and the watchful eyes on the riverbank.
