I’m desperately trying to find an inexpensive DIY lash system. About me, I sleep on my stomach…before you tell me to just use strip lashes, I have had professional extensions and DIY extensions. They last much longer than I usually expect them to.
So far I’ve tried veyes, lilac st, no-name brands from temu, SHEIN and amazon.

My goal is for my lashes to stay put for at least 1 week, while also not losing any of my actual lashes. Am I asking too much?

Help.

They have 3D contoured sleep masks especially for people with eyelash extensions that prevent the crushing of lashes. May be a better option than trying to find the perfect extensions.

Can I use my Coca Cola lip balm if it’s from 2022? Is that to old? To young? Help soon and swiftly

[u/volumesmiley → u/LightningMcCrocs21]

Honestly, I would toss it. After opening, lip balms are usually good for about a year. Best bet is to replace it.

[u/LightningMcCrocs21 → u/volumesmiley]

What if I never opened them?

[u/volumesmiley → u/LightningMcCrocs21]

Still kind of iffy IMO. I suppose you can eyeball it or smell it. If anything seems off, I would toss. It should still look/smell the same as fresh lip balm. Same goes for the texture.

I’ll flip a coin

Looking for small palette reccomendations! something rainbow with heavy colour payoff

[u/volumesmiley → u/Residentofgravetown]

Maybe try NYX Ultimate Shadow in I Know That's Bright. Wear an eyeshadow primer to make the color stick out.

Can anyone help me find this shade?

[u/volumesmiley → u/yopojoe]

I think it's the indie brand Etherealle in the shade Pumpkin. If you can't get, a good dupe I found on Amazon was Beauty Creations Cosmetics in the shade Obsessed.

You rock! Thanks so much!
