Should I use mineral or chemical sunscreen? Which one do you use?

Anyone else like any Gyaru fashion types? I know there’s a lot but please anyone. I hate the Gyaru Reddit and Gyaru on most other sites are annoying they/them egirl types who get the style wrong. I want Gyaru in its purest form untainted by TikTok or twitter. I know it’s unappealing to some people because most styles are tacky/extreme/or straight up against conventional beauty, but I like it because it feels free and unrestricted by beauty standards. It’s about being crazy and wild so it’s fun. I’ll be dumping Gyaru pics from most styles but if you like Gyaru feel free to add any or we can all discuss Gyaru.

I would like to remind everyone that the ladies working at ulta and saphora don't know wtf they are talking about
>in ulta
>ask girl where they keep their CeraVe products
>she scrunches up her face
>"you know, we have some much better skin products for the same price"
>sure
>she shows me some jar bottled skincare that's more perfume than product
>read ingredients, has alchohol and a bunch of other shit I know is bad

I should have known, considering she had a bunch of acne under her makeup

Another story
>go to saphora
>ask girl for a gel eyeliner that will stay in place really well and not smudge
>she shows me some popular, expensive brand and I buy it

Or even bisexual women beauty standards?

All I see on social media are WLW lusting over celebrities (like… Chappel Roan 🤮) and those who are hyperfeminine— it seems as if the taste is no different than your average man’s.

Sometimes, I believe these are fauxbians or “spicy straights” but I think that could be massive cope and seethe on my end .

Women don't really need makeup, it's just the beauty industry trying to convince young girls that they need more chemicals on their face at all times. Same with the health industry telling telling them they need more pills and medication at all times

But women will tear each other down if you DON'T wear makeup.

>You're lazy
>You don't make an effort
>Why aren't you doing anything with your hair, mascara, makeup, etc?

how do i find a place to live that i don't dispise, where the people aren't sick and corrupted? i keep hearing how young i look but that's just because i seclude myself from the toxicity that is normal here. i've been wanting to be gone from here for so long but i make very little progress, which is frustrating me, i'm sad all day because of it.i' ve made almost no progress in the last 5 years.

i wish i traveled more when i was younger, i don't know where it is nice. maybe nowhere.

i'd appreciate any bits of advice on how to find a place, preferably on another continent where technology has not wrecked havoc on the human cultures.

What are some of your favorite hair related YouTube channels?

What's your hair routine?

Do you take any supplements/do (you think) they work?

Why are fat girls are way meaner to skinny girls than vice versa? I have always been skinny, and while growing up I can confidently, loud and clearly, tell you that fat girls were the meanest people to me in school

>I hope you die skinny bitch
>Skinny girls have no curves
>Skinny girls shouldn't wear bras, you don't even have boobs
>Stop starving yourself and eat a burger
>Do you even eat??? You probably starve yourself lmao
>It's feminine to be thicc and curvy
>You look like a boy
>No man will ever love a woman who doesn't have curves, big tits, wide asses
>Skinny slut (even tho I've never had a BF?????)

It seems like it's socially acceptable to tell a skinny girl all of this, but if you told a fat girl to eat a salad all hell would break loose

is it possible to look younger or at least cuter with mature features? i got told i look 23 which isn't bad but i recently turned 18.
i try to look cute with makeup but i guess even that's not working. it doesn't help i'm 170cm. help?

can any fit/muscular nonas help me? i am a recovered ED patient but i still struggle with working out.

i really like the idea of becoming stronger. i have tried to strength train in the past, but faced three main mental barriers that always lead to me quitting early.

>1.
first and foremost, i find it extremely discouraging because of how much more easily men build muscle. they barely have to do any work and in the first few months will gain strength extremely fast. the first time i started working out, i would go to the gym with my boyfriend on his membership. he blew past me in terms of progress, improving at roughly double my rate, until i was left in the dust. i got gradually more upset and quit.

some time later, i started to go the gym again. this time alone, so i wouldn't have anyone else to compare myself to. i went to planet fitness, so i used the smith machine for bench, squats, and deadlifts. i also used the bicep curl machine, free-weights, bar for deadhangs and pullups, pulleys, and treadmill. but i stil felt like i was improving extremely slowly. i wasn't noticing any benefits to strength training; everyday objects weren't noticeably easier to move/carry and i was unhappier with myself than before. at that point i felt like the psychic damage and time investment of 3-4 days/week wasn't worth it. some days i could run farther without stopping but that's about it. it gave me the impression that as a small woman, i'm simply not made to get stronger or build muscle. which makes me feel pretty sad and inferior.

>2.
like i said, i have a history of eating disorders and i'm about 90% recovered (back at a healthy bmi for years and don't restrict/binge). but when i am supposed to eat a lot of protein and be in a calorie surplus, it still fucks me up. i feel like i can see my body get bigger and am afraid that i'll never be able to lose that weight during the cut. i don't idealize thinness anymore, and would like my body to look more toned, muscular, and stronger. i would feel more proud of a having strong body vs. having my current average office-worker body for the rest of my life.

>3.
many people say that exercise improves your mood, but when i go to the gym i just end up feeling pretty bad. i dread going, i don't like feeling the physical pain from running/lifting, and i am disappointed with my performanPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
