$60 for that, she got fucked all right.

[–] jimerson@lemmy.world 91 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I'm as out of touch with makeup prices as a politician is with groceries, so I didn't flinch at the $60; but it did make me feel like it's got to be way more expensive just to exist within our culture's expectations if you are a woman.

Don’t forget the time cost. In high school, I really resented having to get up ~30 minutes early at minimum to put on the shit. Then you have to wash it all of your face before you go to sleep.

Then there’s shaving. I just didn’t own shorts until after I transitioned, because I hated that shit but having any kind of leg hair will get commented on negatively.

Now I can roll out of bed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and maybe trim up my beard and look okay enough to not get shit on.

The brand name alone says so much about that.

That's why I use Bussy Cosmetics

Bussy Cosmetics - Easier to Get and Cheap as Shit!

I dunno, Harleys aren't cheap.

I don't think you quite understand how bukkake works.

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Still can get gangbanged and they all finish outside.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gotta mix the paint before applying.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are they not using primer at these things?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 7 points 1 month ago

Trying for the one coat application by slathering it on.

She got fucked anyway would have been more accurate, I agree

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It looks like she's at the store trying the tester. $60 for a highlighter is legit insane though.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've been in a Sephora once or twice and tiny bottles worth 60$ seems pretty common place?

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Sephora has a boatload of products. $60 isn't unheard of for some things like skincare, but a $60 highlighter is likely to be a luxury brand like Dior, Westman Atelier, Guerlain, or Prada. And the difference between those and less expensive highlighters is that you're paying for the brand name. For $30-40 you can get a mid-tier highlighter like Nars, ABH, or Rare Beauty that will still be beautiful and probably has more product per dollar than the luxury brand does.

For example: the ABH Glow Seeker highlighter is $40 for 11 grams which equals $3.64 per gram

And the Dior Forever Glow highlighter is $60 for 6 grams which equals $10 per gram

People can spend their money how they want but personally I'd never pay $60 for a highlighter.

Very nice artstyle

Who doesn't love a bukkake queen?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Other, rival bukkake queens and kings, for one. Bukkake princesses. Potentially even a jealous bukkake duke or bukkake courtier. You never can play it too safe.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It never occurred to me there would exist an entire bukkake Bridgerton

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Isn't that just Bridgerton? (I haven't watched it, full disclosure.)

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

Why can't these bukkake monarchs just learn to share, or at least contribute to the greater whole as equals. So all can benefit.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

What about an evil bukkake step mother who hides the bukkake princess's royal lineage from her

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That peerage system is headcannon now. Kind of adds weird drama and subtext to the erotic video industry. I'm imagining Hamlet, except instead of Prince of Denmark, he's COO of a large adult film distributer.

Doubt thou the stars are fire;

Doubt that the sun doth move;

Doubt truth to be a liar;

But never doubt I love cum.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Wonder if they are hiring.

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In my experience the biggest difference between products for men and women is how much it resembles semen.

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Women's stuff is more likely to be more like semen in my experience, like shower soap and deodorants. Nicely scented shampoo and lotions.

Went to a beauty store and asked for a new face lotion. They recommended a certain variant which wasn't as runny but otherwise the same. Because I was a guy. The pro's know!

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Expensive. It's likely full of cancer.

edit: No joke. I have a skin condition so i often have to look ingredients up.
And experience shows; the more expensive the product in comparison, the more ingredients generally and the more petrochemicals with carcinogen or hormonally active properties in there.
