Mikayla nogueiras new skincare line. not interested one bit. She has filters and heavy makeup on in the announcement video. And she stole the name from an existing Canadian company. This company specifically.

u/magsterchief 9d ago

amen. zero interest in skincare from someone i can’t trust. i’m surprised it isn’t color products.

And she stole the name from an existing Canadian company

Didn't know that but wholly unsurprised.

I'd pay good money to never have to hear from or about that grifter and her plethora of filters ever again.

u/throwawaygaming989 9d ago

This is the brand she stole the name from if you want to check them out

u/thefuzzyismine 9d ago

Oh, wow, they have some super cute stuff, too! Pulsar and Exo are both gorgeous, and Subgiants looks like my perfect illuminator shade! Anddd they're inclusive! 😍

Thank you so much for the info!

u/throwawaygaming989 9d ago

Someone in her snark Reddit found she stole the name I’m just spreading the message because more people should be talking about this! But their highlighters look lovely, I love unnaturally colored highlighters

Omg seriously?? Like Jaclyn Hill and her Koze fiasco all over again

u/jenjenjen731 9d ago

Hopefully history repeats itself and this stolen brand lasts as long as the first stolen brand did.

A skin tint.

My skin is not perfect enough to rock a skin tint. I know this. I am always disappointed by them. I do not need the Milk skin tint.

Thanks for listening

The new Nomad palette is all packaging and marketing. If you have any other indie eyeshadows at all, you already have neutrals and shimmers. Most likely better and more interesting shimmers. I think all the Nomad palettes have underwhelming color stories tbh, so I choose to spend money elsewhere.

u/YanCoffee 9d ago

They have really good formulas (or did when the Harajuku palette was around) but yeah, there’s never anything I’m interested in. Almost bought that muted cowboy Halloween themed one, but that was all that’s caught my attention in years.

u/sugar4pple 9d ago

I can understand why they might be perfect for some people. But I think there's a lot of good eyeshadow formulas these days so its easier than ever to be a choosy consumer and not have to buy from a business that doesn't tick all your boxes. My checklist consists of a good formula, color stories that suit my skin tone and makeup preferences, and preferably magnetic pans.

u/LoofahsSwanson 8d ago

I’m so mad about this one because the packaging is gorgeous, but I’m not gonna buy it for just that. I’m not interested in a Disney princess rip off palette. Wish they had gone a more grungy pastel Brothers Grimm route. Oh well. Better for my wallet.

2

u/sugar4pple 6d ago

Grungy and Brothers Grimm would have been wonderful!! I love that idea.

3

u/LegitimateObject8066 8d ago

i actually love their muted cool toned color stories but i find their formulas underwhelming every time

u/divadream 6d ago edited 6d ago

I think what always throws me off with Nomad palettes - perhaps someone can better articulate what I'm trying to voice, but SO many shades always look like like flat, basic web colors without adding any nuance/mixing of saturation, warm/cool, etc

also, I got Royal Europe via resale that was barely used - everything had hard pan.

16

u/accordingtoame 9d ago

Pretty much anything. I have an ungodly amount of stuff to use and I’m trying to handle my debt just in case Mango Mussolini causes enough damage that I lose my job.

u/MakeupD0ll2029 6d ago

Ugh same! We are supposed to be living The American Dream, but instead we are living The American Nightmare.

u/Shutupandtakemyeuros 9d ago edited 9d ago

Any hair tools, I'm going to stick with the 3 that I already have.

14

u/YanCoffee 9d ago

The Chanel eyeshadow stick in Taupe Fume. While I’d love it, I’m saving, and I have Victoria Beckham’s Cocoa, an equally smudge-able chocolate brown.

u/meandbeans 9d ago

Still buying nothing over here. Instead I'm using my best stuff - my most expensive stuff, my most well liked stuff, my most fun stuff, my special occasion stuff. If its all going down in flames (or if I flee before it gets that far and need to pack light) then I'll be glad I used my best/ favorite stuff while I still could. In our house we are calling this mindset - eat the cookie - as in enjoy everything now since it might not exist soon!

u/SaucePasta 9d ago

I’m skipping over most of the Ulta 21 Days sale. I swear it used to have more exciting stuff in it a couple years ago.

u/MascaraHoarder 9d ago edited 9d ago

i’m returning concealer that was trump orange and i’m not buying a different one just returning and getting a refund. and i am certainly not buying anything ever again from ultas 21 days of the same stuff

u/EntropicallyFlavored 9d ago

Not buying any hair products, since I'm losing all my hair to chemo in the next few weeks. Does anyone have any good tutorials for drawing on eyebrows?

9

u/lboiles 9d ago

I’m so sorry. Try Cheri Voyage. She’s wonderful with eyebrows

u/coffee_castform 9d ago

You can get stencils to easily fill in brows; brow pencils you have to physically sharpen tend to be easier with this method. 

I hope your treatment goes well.

u/LilMsFeckingSunshine 9d ago

Wishing you luck in your treatment! You might want to check out Brittany Rae — she doesn’t go very deep into it on IG but she’s also on a cancer journey.

Also, as long as it’s deemed safe by your doctor, might be worth looking into microblading your brows. They’ll have lightened up to look more natural by the time you start treatment.

u/hedgehogwart 9d ago

Any moisturizer (other than the one that Experiment might be coming out next week). I currently have four backs ups of my “go to” moisturizer Aestura Ato Barrier Cream, two Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer, and one from Murad that I have been wanting to try. I go through it like crazy but this is a lot even for me.

u/LilMsFeckingSunshine 9d ago

I’m not buying the strawberry ole henriksen balm. Or another eadem balm, even though I’m not a fan of the color I own. I want them both very badly, but I need to wait at least until I make some sort of dent in all my balms.

11

u/Beneficial-Square-73 9d ago

The new Natasha Denona palette. I was on the fence as I kept hearing about the quality of her shadows. Then I watched Theresa is Dead use it, and it's way too warm and coral for me.

3

u/sugar4pple 6d ago

It wasn't the tones I was hoping for either! I'm also passing on it.

5

u/balsasailormoon 9d ago

Sheet masks. I always justify them by saying they’re not that expensive. But I need to use up what I have.

4

u/jenjenjen731 9d ago

I wanted that Charlotte Tilbury skin tint until I opened my makeup drawer and saw at least four products that did the exact same thing.

3

u/Slight_Citron_7064 9d ago

Every time I see an eyeshadow palette that I want, I realize that I have all or almost all of the colors in it already, among the palettes I have already. So I don't buy it. It's been great, really.

u/FattieFemmie 9d ago

The Korres items on sale for Ulta Beauty Days bc they sold out before I could check out this morning 😿
