  1. heard that toner arent really necessary at all guys. and can harm your skin on long term ( even if no alcohol )

    it isn't really necessary for anyone, so i don't recommend it for people who haven't already become accustomed to using it 

    toners became popular when cleansers were still quite primitive and left substantial residues after washing, but no one should have that problem in this day and age even if they're using hard water

     

    however, i can see why guys would like to use toner throughout the day to remove oil since it's actually supposed to be applied immediately after cleansing, and that's mainly why it's harmful

     

    recommendation for a face scrub?

     

    What about battling in-grown hair...this is probably the worst for me. My skin can be completely clear but then get a really bad blemish around my facial hair region. been really contemplating laser therapy but it is $$$

     

    If you use a good face scrub and keep moisturized you shouldn't run into many in-grown hairs. St Ive's apricot scrub is decent for the money, but the new scrub game is all about the clarisonic mia. Keeps your skin looking nice and matte while preventing in-grown hairs. I much prefer using my clarisonic mia to a face scrub because it allows me to use my favorite malin and goetz cleanser simultaneously.

     

    exfoliating brushes and pads are definitely superior to scrubs, but i think the electric brushes are pretty frivolous unless you have debilitating arthritis or something like that

     

    even this brush is rather expensive for what it accomplishes

    i'm sure you can find something just as effective and cheaper at your local pharmacy

  2. I would never own an alienware at retail but specs on this are unreal for the price I paid. Mid to top level components, all accessories and basically plug and play in the smallest form factor out there for 9 hunnit. I have never bought prebuilt before but don't have the time to build a rig and for the scratch it's as good as it gets. The whole notion that alienware is bad or overrated is garbage and has been around before they got bought out buy Dell. The x51 series has been ranked consistently high for a small form factor mini gaming pc / htpc. Not to mention free onsite repair for a year and resale value is better than custom when I decide to upgrade. My roommate just dropped $1600+ for a rig that has very similar specs and performance is largely the same.

     

    i'd say that's a good deal as long as it includes the plan you mentioned and said plan covers the cost of replacement parts

     

    such complaints existed before the acquisition because their laptops were already exceptionally notorious for overheating and a myriad of poor design choices, and their service and support were even less accommodating than dell's at the time

    given the audience they target, customers were rarely capable of fixing or even identifying these problems on their own, and for those who were, getting one's hands dirty frequently meant voiding the warranty 

    the sheer volume and severity of complications alienware products have had upon launch and long after simply isn't acceptable when the goal of the brand is to offer high-performance systems at the highest price without the hassle of assembly and repair, but they've cleaned up their act considerably

    my biggest concern nowadays with alienware and any pre-built PC is that the individual components can be expected to come from the lowest bidder unless stated otherwise, so you end up with parts from foxconn and what not being marked as dell, HP, etc.

     

    i'll concede that X51s are outstanding in terms of mobility compared to other pre-built options, though i think it's important to remember the systems that editor ratings are often based on have been built by hand before being tested and tweaked to perfection and ultimately sent to the editor with a representative who will make changes for each benchmark test and game in addition to familiarizing the editor with every little nuance of the system

    not only will a typical customer never see that level of support, but a typical editor will never use these systems for any length of time, so that explains the discrepancy between editor ratings and user ratings

     

    anyway, the reason i wouldn't brag about owning one is the same reason i wouldn't brag about owning discounted products bought for the sake of convenience from apple, razer, or beats; these companies generally prioritize stylishness and psychological aspects over practicality, and if neither of those features are appealing, then what's the point?

     

    well i speak from experience, and i assume jamokes does too since maybe she works in the gaming industry(?)

    wait, what?

     

    i had the misfortune of assisting my cousin with his M15x in 2006, and while i'm sure others can attest to the sad state of gaming laptops at that time, no computer i've owned or worked with has made me wade through more shit

  3. i've been under the impression that the materials used for Y-3 are typically more expensive, but i'm sure the association with YY also has something to do with it
    seeing SLVR go is a bit disappointing for me just because i occasionally find myself looking for alternatives when i can't handle Y-3's branding

    also, can anyone identify these sneakers? i'd greatly appreciate it

  4. They really do have shades of.. adidas golf shoes tho.

     

    If you put the 'vespa' (or what is it now, Porsche?) collab tab on them, I don't think you'd doubt it for a minute.

     

    yep, i see very little influence (or anything that could be mistaken as such) from rick, but i felt the same way about the previous collaboration

     

    while i do think those aren't nearly as foul as their first attempt was, they've strayed even further from rick's realm; i could just as easily see them being released under Y-3 or SLVR

  5.  

    Crust x Strutter x Lamy 88 with a really sophisticated color palette. And some testosterone-fueled drag queeniness. This is a huge step forward from men's Vicious.

     

    no one seems to be particularly thrilled by this show, but it scratched every itch vicious left me with

  6. looks like the only real alien game. want to get really excited but i'm hesitant. seems very promising though

    yeah, i really want to believe sega won't fuck this one up, colonial marines must have taught them something

     

    On 13 December 2013, following a 9 December 2013 leak of box art and promotional art, images that appear to be in-game screenshots were leaked onto Twitter for Creative Assembly's next game, Alien: Isolation. The game is said to draw from horror influences such as BioShock and Dishonored.

     

    then again, they might have a lot to learn! i'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now and assume that was just some bullshit they came up with to generate interest

     

    also, one of my favorite things about the survival horror genre is the mystery surrounding one's enemies, it makes them much more interesting and intimidating

    being so familiar with the franchise might take away from that, so i'm hoping they'll find a way to spice things up without doing anything utterly absurd

  7. apparently a dude.  he bragged about his penis being long like ro trunks drawstring or somethin

     

    did my joke soar over your head so swiftly, or are you just drawing out a joke of your own? while there may be people who would brag about their genitals with sincerity on here, it should be abundantly clear to you by now that i'm not one of those people
