Alexxx-Returns Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I wear false eyelashes every day. I look THE shit. People ask me how I got my eyelashes to be so long. People ask me how I got them to curl like that. My secret is that I wear false eyelashes every day. Long, incredibly thick ones. I swore by the ones they sold in Poundland (that's the UK's equivalent of a dollar store). You could get 2 pairs for £1, where anywhere else, they cost AT LEAST £6 for one pair that were nowhere near as nice. So, I would stock the fuck up on these whenever I went into Poundland.And now? They fucking changed the eyelashes that they sell! You still get 2 pairs per pack, but now they are NOWHERE near as long and flashy! They look like shit! I've tried SO many times to give them a chance, but they just don't give me the same look. I just can't wear them. And now, I'm down to my very last pair of the nice eyelashes that they stopped selling. When these are worn out, there will be no more for me to wear, and my look as I know it will have to change. I'm not ready for this. My life as I know it is over =VI did some Googling and ended up on eBay where I decided to try a new set. About £1.50 for 5 pairs, I'll only know how they are when I get them though. I just hope they're not too different.Don't you just hate it when you find the PERFECT item that you never ever want to stray away from or stop using, then it gets discontinued? How does life go on after this......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinare Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) My life was shattered when they changed the original Doritos recipe. Can barely stand to down the new flavor... Probably for the best though, I'd have almost an entire bag of the old ones (big bag, yo) for supper like once a week and eat nothing else. And yes, there was the typical 2 liter of regular Mountain Dew to wash it down with. So much healthy, I know.3D Doritos were pretty good too and I sorta miss them, but it's not life shattering to no longer have them in my life.I think the only other product I really miss is MDX. It was advertised as an energy drink, really though it was just a little more caffeine and a couple other additions that didn't make it taste like one and had a bit more lime flavor that regular Mountain Dew. It was amazing. MD Distortion was pretty close to the same flavor, so I was really bummed that it didn't win over that other garbage. Damn soda politics.Oh, and I do miss Pitch Black 2 a lot. Not a lot of people liked it, but damn that shit was good. I couldn't drink it a ton, but it was nice to have around for a very different flavor when I was sick of the norm. They brought back the original Pitch Black what, 2 years ago? A year ago? Something. Been hoping they'd do the same for PB2, but alas... Sangrita Blast is pretty close to how I remember it, but not quite there. Not really an earth shattering loss since there is SB to sort of replace it, I just miss it. 3: Edited October 19, 2015 by Kinare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to convince....you.*tips fedora*Because people wanting and putting in the effort to alter themselves to look like the image they want to portray makes them "not real," amirite?How dare you not just appreciate whatever random pot of genetics life tossed you in the womb.Effort is a stupid thing, anyway.3D Doritos.....?Fuck..... I sure missed out.They were pretty good.WHATIf they still sell them, I haven't seen them in almost a decade.I mean the actual Sobe drinks,and not the vitamin waters (which don't taste the same).

The OP was being dramatic for comedic effect, you huckleberry.Unfortunately for you, you are unironically a nerd that has strong opinions about people wearing cosmetics.So no matter how hard you try to spin it about it not being to ~my~ liking you're still the loser who cares too much about people doing things that don't effect you, friend. :^) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the orange kind, but I can't find it anymore.There's a fucking perfume I bought at Hot Topic once, that I loved, and they quit selling it.It was called Faery Dreams.There's supposedly a replication of it online, but it sells for fucking $60.Anger.

Ansitru Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The same thing happened to me. I found the perfect shade of burgundy-red that was affordable. Right when I was close to finishing it, I wanted to buy a back-up.mfw I saw it got discontinued.Same goes for this perfume they sold at The Body Shop, which was a summer LE-scent and smelled amazing. I should've bought more of it.All of it, really. :cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umbra.Exe Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I still miss these things, I loved eating them when I was a kid:They were cookie bars with chocolate and M&M's on them. Probably very unhealthy, but we would have them only rarely. Now I wish I had more. :cI swear that one day I'll learn how to make my own! I'll show them!

Llamapotamus Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) I agree with the Dragonfruit Sobe, it is and will be dearly missed. I'd like to add that Ben & Jerry's discontinued my favorite flavor of ice cream in either late 2012 or early 2013. There are a few similar ones out there, but they just aren't the same.

Alexxx-Returns Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 So I went to Tesco yesterday and spent like £35,000,000 on 3 new pairs of eyelashes. I got some nice thick ones that will do the trick for the moment but I don't like them as much. These ones are...... fluffy, and I prefer them feathery.
