The gal I am buying lip nonsense through is on her 3rd MLM product. I really had to fight back the urge to say something about that. I ultimately don't give a shit though. Lol
Well, you are feeding into it, so...
ETA: I see this has been covered. Lol
Lol! I didn't say I hate all MLM stuff. And I didn't really bag on them I don't think? I just don't understand bouncing from item to item to sell. I also don't really care, so there's that.
The price of lipsense is on par with most premium/prestige (whatever ulta calls them) cosmetics brands. I haven't looked into it much but did buy a color and the gloss to use for dance recitals (for my kid, which may be a confession since it burns your lips - though she didn't complain and she's high maintenance and loves to complain). My impression is there a wider variety of color compared to drugstore brands and I do think it works better than the longwear MAC I've used in the past. It seemed like it worked better than the Maybelline we used last year for recital. Mostly what I liked was it didn't move once it was on. Kids are a pain to put makeup on and my daughter had a bunch of costume changes so I was worried about her smearing longwear lipstick all over her face.
I spend a lot on lipstick though so I didn't think the price was too bad for a color and a gloss. We will use it again next year I think.
Naw, man, it is not. Burberry is in the high thirties, along with YSL, Dior and Chanel. Shit, I paid $45 to go have my own custom lipstick shades made at Bite Beauty in Soho. If you could just buy the color then yeah, but considering you "have" to buy the color AND the gloss AND the remover....just get some goddamn KVD or LimeCrime and call it a damn day. If I'mma pay over fifty dollars for a lip product (and considering you cannot wear the color alone I consider their glosses part and parcel of the product) then I expect to be looking at Tom Ford or Louboutin or some shit.
Well, I guess I can't convince you I don't spend $55 on every single Lipsense color I have, but I assure you I don't. I don't use their remover and I use some of the other glosses I have on hand as a topper, and will probably buy an NYX or Rimmel clear gloss when I run out. I absolutely think their gloss is a rip-off, but the colors are at least a comparable value compared to the Tarte, Bite and Urban Decay lipsticks I have. I use so little on a daily basis it will take a long time to finish a tube.
I really want to say "it works!" here but that's a different MLM. I was originally looking for a long-lasting lipstick for days I shoot weddings and decided to try it out, and I liked it.

I'M SORRY.
I hate MLMs but am totally fascinated by them. I bought lipsense and I actually think it's the best longwear product I've tried. I won't probably buy much more because I don't have much need for longwear products...
Asking for a friend whose children are eating too damn much.
Mine are whining too much and taking turns not sleeping through the night. It's like an evil plan to ruin me. Let's just send them off somewhere alone.
How I know summer break is here to kill me - constant whining and bickering and I swear they eat every hour on the hour. During the school year they eat at normal intervals!! Why are they hungry every five minutes?
Scarlett has been an asshole about sleeping again. She's 6.5. Will it ever end?!!?

Thank you for giving me no hope, lmao
My other child does sleep reliably, if that helps. Scarlett does actually sleep she's just drama about wanting to sleep with me and falling asleep, which drives me up a wall. I'm off duty at 8, you little assholes! Leave me alone.

Both of mine just decided they're afraid of rain. But only at night. When I'm sleeping. As we are amid our rainiest season.
Also, I've been told the formulation is shit. I don't science, so I dunno, but some of our chemists in the makeup labs are like "DO NOT put that shit on your mouth."
I think it has something to do with the particular alcohol in it. I really wish I was going to Canada next month so I could ask their R&D team about it in depth.
I am moderately squicked out by something that goes on skin that requires a formula-specific remover.

Oh man, in the last few weeks A has decided that shrieking is her favorite. And the past three days she's been cranky and nap averse. She's normally the happiest baby on the block so I'm I'll equipped to handle these bumps. I'm also not sleeping well which I realize isn't helping things either. Ugh.

And that the distributors will warn you "it can kinda burn but that's totally normal"

how fast the summer love wore off. Lol
I still love it more than school but the kids need to pull themselves together and get into the summer routine so I can fully enjoy it. We aren't sleeping in yet or in our pool routine, which spreads my love a little thin!

Allie broke her foot on Sunday. There will be no routine for us this summer. And we are couch surfing. Worst summer ever
I think my kids are constantly testing the limits of my sanity. Between C still not sleeping all night and crawling in my bed which then jacks up my sleep and the quick to tears over everything, i am ready to lose my God damn mind.
I honestly don't know how my mom did not lose her shit 100 times a day. HOW??? And believe me, i was no picnic.
The first time I saw a photo 'in the wild' I thought I was losing it. She looks fine, nothing about looks, but it's just a drastic difference from what was posted intentionally here.
I am still beside myself she photoshopped herself skinnier for years on here.
Say what? LHC? Lord, I am oblivious.
Who has time for that? Supposedly she photoshopped all her OOTD posts. And what was with her slouching?? She claimed she had bad posture. So, stand up straight when you're taking OOTD selfies at least?
