Do any of you guys vintage shop online, like on TheRealReal or Vestiairecollective? I've been trying to get into that, but it's intimidating. I hear all the time that it's better to get, say, a $200 coat or bag second-hand that cost $1000 originally than a new $200 coat because the craftmanship's better and it will last longer, but it seems like a lot of work to sift through all of those pages, inspect the photo for stains/imperfections, and then buy it without trying it on/seeing it in person.
I've bought some stuff from realreal. You can always return things if they don't work out. I wanted a new work wardrobe so I bought a fuck ton of stuff from them and returned about half of it because I'm really picky and didn't like how it fit or whatever.
But it's a mixed bag, most of the stuff is not vintage and it's probably only a few years old. Designers also make cheap shit like everybody else nowadays. You have to learn how to tell if an item is quality regardless of its brand or price tag. But you have to see the item to really do it. Though it's generally true the secondhand expensive item is better.

I would buy the bag that you like, though I ask myself the same question a lot. The idea of an expensive bag that holds it's value somewhat is really intriguing. But the area I live in, people kind of look down on designer bags, and I'm not really sold on any one in particular so I don't buy them.

Speaking of vintage, I am a slut for reproduction 60s/70s hippie/mod wear and one of my favorite Instagram designers/lady-crushes finally released a ready to wear collection.

I swear, if I was rich or somehow had a sugar daddy, my wardrobe would consist of Saudade Vintage, Miracle Eye, The Hippie Shake, and Yesterday People.

Of course, I work in an office where jeans and a hoodie are the uniform of choice, and Rona-Chan has killed all my reasons to dress up, so splurging on pieces like this is just hoarding at this point.

Back when Kat Von D first came out with her makeup line back in 2009/2010, I purchased both the Sinner and Saint perfumes. Saint in particular became a signature fragrance of mine throughout my 20's. It was a really pretty blend of caramel and orchid-- a perfect, much softer answer to Juicy Couture's very loud Viva La Juicy fragrance, IMO. Sinner was the spicier sister of Saint-- you can smell a sweet hint of vanilla, along with some white florals and cinnamon. Sinner is also a really nice fragrance.

Somewhere back in 2014 or so, the two perfumes got discontinued (much to my dismay). Then, a couple of years later (2017? 2018?) they came back, and now Kat Von D's makeup is just KVDVB. Sinner is the same as it always was (so I still recommend it) ... But they completely ruined Saint. It's now just a regular run-of-the mill fruity floral that smells like fake peaches to me. The beautiful caramel orchid notes are long gone.

I have one last bottle of the OG Saint on my vanity, still. I have been savoring it like you wouldn't believe. It was seriously such a good, girly, flirty, and pretty everyday perfume.

No problem!

Btw, if you're on the lookout for a good perfume with caramel notes, then check out Prada Candy. It's basically a caramel vanilla with a hint of soft powder to to it; it smells delicious. I would say that the only downside to it, though, is that it doesn't last very long on me. I still think it's worth checking out and trying it for yourself, though. All perfumes work differently on everyone.

I've heard some really good things about Viktor & Rolf's Bonbon for sweet, caramel-based perfumes, too. The bottle is super cute, at the very least.

@StarkRavingMad ,I was going to mention tge Viktor & Rolf, I know some people find their perfumes too strong but I really like them and Bonbon in particular even though 'sweet' isn't my day to day go to
I've tested a few Viktor and Rolf's fragrances ... Flowerbomb smells pretty but it didn't leave much of an impression on me, and I loooooved Spicebomb (even though it's a "men's" fragrance).

I am very much a "seasonal" kind of perfume person. As I have gotten older, I have definitely become a white floral kind of gal (rose being my favorite fragrance note altogether these days). However, during the Holiday Season, I enjoy smelling like candy canes or sugar cookies. Haha.

Was able to snag the Colourpop and Raw Beauty Kristi palette during yesterday's restock and I'm probably way more excited than I should be.
The color story on this palette is beautiful. The bottom row in particular is just ... *chef's kiss*

The yellows wouldn't work with my pale complexion though. I'm afraid I would look jaundiced, lol. That's why I didn't pick up this particular palette. I've seen YouTubers with deeper skintones wear those yellows though, and they look gorgeous on them!

My girly question of the day;

those nasty sites like Shein and Zaful, I get their freaking ads all the time and while I have no desire to blow my money on their junk I have seen some very cute clothing options that I very much wanna buy. Is there a place that keeps tabs of where these sites steal their images from in hopes of finding the legitimate products?

i've had a lot of luck just reverse-searching the image on google. more often than not the item has been out of stock for a while though - just the nature of shit trickling down. but it can at least lead you to depop/etsy/etc. more than once ssense ended up carrying it

Yeah, I think the volume of products on those sites is too big for any one site to track them.
Reverse image search and creative keyword searching in Google shopping and places like aliexpress is your best bet.

hi everyone :-)

I've been looking for some really good eyebrow products as of late - I prefer a more "natural" look with my brows so I like using brow gel over products like pomade or pencils.. does anyone have any good recommendations?
I currently use Essence brow gel (i think they've discontinued this stuff as i can no longer find it in stores) and Benefit Cosmetics 24 hour brow setter. I'm obsessed with the feathered brow look so any products that can easily achieve this would be much appreciated.

a wax pencil or a clear mascara work well for me, lucky for me tho, my local dollar tree sells both! i use the ones from elf, i find they work best! they work best for a minimal/no makeup look that really sets it in place all day
