Title + my hair, makeup and outfits are all good but it all feels so pointless because the inherent structure of my face is unbelievably chopped!

I'm skinny, got rid of my acne and got a haircut that suits my face shape but nothing helps because at the end of the day the problem is my face not anything else! And I feel like theres no way to improve looks beyond a certain point because I cant afford palstic surgery so I'm stuck with the skull shape I have. Makeup can't hide bad proportions and side profile!

Context: My chin/jaw is recessed/non-existent, huge protruding forehead, deep set/hooded & hollow eyes, hooked nose and very long mid-face. Plus my baby face never went away it just sagged down over time, Yay jowls!

Is anyone else at this point and what else can I do from here?

Has anyone heard back about the Think Big scholarships yet? (Or know historically what day theyve been anounced?)

I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for disappointment 😂

- Postgrad

- International

Context - I am moving from New Zealand to Australia which is about a 4hr direct flight. There is no pet quarantine or anything like that but I'm concerned about the stress on my cat. She is about 12-14 (rescue cat) and has non-painful nerve damage in her back legs from contracting tetanus a few years ago which makes her wobbly and unstable. She also is scared of everything and despises even being in the car.

However, she is everything to me, my entire world even! I can't imagine leaving her behind with my family but at the same time if something happened to her during the flight I would never get over it.

Advice or similar experiences??

Also extra - Pets can only fly cargo between Aus/NZ not cabin & boat/shipping is dangerous because animals get euthanised regularly by both countries for biosecuriry risk conerns

Newmarket through K Rd, Ponsonby and all the way down the North Shore to Albany (the only public transport through this route) and it doesn't run on weekends???

- Annoying and part of a bigger problem

- Why does Akl council insist on forcing people to drive over the bridge (traffic merchants)

- North Shore has no trains and barely any bus routes either (god forbid u live up by Long Bay or smt)

- Petition for the North side of Akl to get some public transport for once

- We have the same city layout as Sydney, how did we end up so much worse off than them

Where am I supposed to shop for makeup/perfume/skincare/haircare and get beauty treatments now that I'm in the UK and the glorious bountiful facilities of Mecca are no longer available? 😔✊️

I dislike Sephora out of principal, but can't find any stores that are remotely close to Mecca's range, just Chemist Warehouse-esque pharmacies and specific single-brand shops.

Not really looking for brand recs but more stores that do a shopping experience similar to my local Mecca (Bourke Street)
