It happened again. I attempted to switch up my skincare routine to make it "better" (read: Use something other than just soap to clean my face) and I got adult acne. What the hell is my skin?
Guess this means I stick with the easy stuff... right?

It could be that your skin is purging. It happens with some topical treatments. I recommend seeing out whatever new regimen you started for at least 14 days, preferably 30. At least, that's what my dermatologist has told me in the past.

I got my ears pierced in mid-september. I finally took the studs out couple of days ago. They were fine when i put on cheap earrings but when i put on gold hoops i noticed a ball feeling and they're a little sore. I took them out and cleaned my ears. I hope they heal properly.

Do I need to purge? If I just keep using soap is there a downside?

You might have a gold allergy. Leave the surgical steel in for a while and let the puffiness go away. Then try again.
Always make sure your earrings are clean-clean-clean before you put them in; even when your piercings are full healed.

It just means that your skin is getting rid of all of the buildup and residue the soap was leaving behind, and letting the acne it was causing come to the surface. And there really is--soap was created to be used for the body, not the face. It's way too drying, and leaves a residue that can affect sebum production.

I tried a gentle cleanser. What should I use instead as a beginner? I can take this to the skincare thread, too.

double post, because this warrants it.
I said yes to the dress on saturday!

I also bought a terribly overpriced belt/sash thing to go with it.

Does anyone watch the YTer Abby Williamson and what do you think of her? I think she's pretty SJW but I still watch her videos for some reason. I kind of like that she criticizes consumerism but she clearly is one herself. Also, I posted about this in the skincare thread but did anyone see Deceim virtue signaling about being anti-Black Friday and anti-consumerism? I enjoyed their sale this month don't get me wrong but it just seemed fake when a skincare company who packages stuff in non biodegradable plastic tubes is lecturing like this.

You think finding those beads makes you clever?

I recently discovered how beautifully navy blue eye shadow sets off dark eyes and brightens eye whites, so I want to pick up Sydney Grace's Indiana Love and possibly the complementary shimmer Deep Water soon. It'll be my first SG shadow - usually stick with Urban Decay singles. Anyone know how it compares to #itsaboy? It's another dark blue matte and looks identical in some swatches.

(Temptalia swatches - pretty)

Also, any recommendations for a Sydney Grace purple or green? Since I'm already ordering something, it's a chance to try a new color. SG has overwhelmingly many well-reviewed choices, though.

I watch Abby sometimes and her social justice can be grating, especially the Biden stuff around election time. It's easy to overlook since she seems like a well-intentioned SJW trying to vote with her wallet, as opposed to the sort of SJW-masquerading grifters and degenerates who get threads here. Just, as with many SJWs, her priorities are lopsided - boycotting ColourPop's Sandstone release for cultural appropriation (after being educated, since she didn't even know the motifs came from indigenous peoples in the first place)...while regularly recommending Chinese-made makeup, despite their poor reputation with labor protection. (To be fair, though, despite their low prices, I have no idea how Midas and Juvia's Place treat their employees.) Even so, her anti-hauls are comfy.

Honestly, I just love watching anyone with fun, colorful makeup. Elle S is another youtuber who wears inspiringly colorful makeup, but hers leans more editorial. Maybe you would like her videos, too, if you don't already watch her, Daughter. She's thoughtfully anti-consumer, too, even though she clearly has tons of makeup.

What's everyone excited to get on black friday?
I might buy some stuff from Glossier.

I will probably buy from Menagerie Cosmetics (had their lipsticks when they used to be Makeup Monsters and I loved them) or Dose of Colors and Sydney Grace when it comes to makeup. Gonna probably buy a few things from Torrid too, one being my mother’s Christmas present.
