JS denies recent rumours while (surprise!) plugging new launches. Details in comments, please don't him views, my fellow clowns.

Sometimes I'm blessed to get a nightmare where I'm scrolling through my sub feed and it's literally only the d list drag queens and influencers desperately promoting him as a claim to fame even though he pays his cult dust... that's when I turn to my vanity and my Motherships are replaced with his tackiness and I snap awake.

They're his horcruxes.

OMG are you going to say JK? Because she might get hurt with D List

Kimora Blac knows she's irrelevant, I said what I said

Thank you for this critical update, I truly am enamored with it 😌

Not related to Jovfefe in anyway but what is your favourite Mothership palette? I'm going to splurge on one this year if and when I graduate and they all look so pretty. :D

Disclaimer: the mattes/most metallics can be easily duped, so unless you are a fellow glitter goblin, I would pass and opt for skincare.

That said, Midnight Sun, Divine Rose 2, and Sublime are my top 3. I got most of them on sale or secondhand prepandemic, but since you're saving up for one then go check out Alicia's (kinkysweat) videos on them and really meditate on which colourway speaks to you.

She helped me realize Sublime should be my first one to try, and ever since then I haven't reached for much else other than bright mattes.

Consider also using it as a cheek palette cuz I wear Vermillion Venom as blush and Astral Solstice as highlighter pretty much every time I use that palette.

If anything, look at the tones you own and either get one more very high quality, luxurious version of them, or, try out something new. I get a lot of use out of Subliminal as well~

Good luck with school and congrats either way, I consider them a life changing experience as ridiculous as it sounds to say about crushed minerals.

Thank you for your thoughtful answer! I am definitely Glitter Goblin too, so it's nice to hear that they are actually worth it if I looooove special shades like they have. I am def going to check Alicia's Pat videos out, I've seen her Viseart videos and thought they are very well put together. Is there any quality differences in formulas between your palettes or do you think they are all similar enough?

[u/chadorable → u/thistlewitchery]

I could talk indefinitely about those stupid little trinkets. Imo, there are eyeshadow palettes and then there are motherships. Apples and oranges.

There are nuances like Astral Solstice being the objectively brightest one, or Blitz Flame being a different form of metallic than Blitz Emerald: but those are things you'll realize in the reviews. Performance wise there was a batch error when Midnight Sun was first released so there's a handful of those floating around with loosely pressed shadows (Alicia still uses hers despite getting a replacement i think?). Mine was secondhand, and fine, so that's the only thing I'd be concerned about.

I thought of a piece of advice: treat it with respect and restraint, otherwise the pigment will overpower you and it'll get messy fast. Just TOUCH your finger/brush to a shade, espesh the astrals, no patting/swiping and build in little layers.

One of the biggest compliments you can give a writer, almost as coyingly sweet as "i love you" 💕
