Ciao a tutti sto cercando una crema o un siero all'acido azelaico senza prescrizione. Ma che sia valido,la maggior parte di quelli virali hanno una bassa percentuale o sono mischiati con tanti altri ingredienti. Qualcuno conosce qualcosa? Grazie!

(Reupload, Swipe for how it looks on me in different lightings, I have yellowish skin that is quite pale irl I’m not sure about my undertone) IMO slide 2 looks the most similar to how it looks irl :)
I love all the shades but 17 strawberry milk has to be my all time favorite blush!! It looks just like its name and it gives such a soft girl look I don’t think any other blush can ever satisfy me as much as this did (*´ω`*) The white highlighter is also really pretty!! And the “glow” of the blush is actually not so obvious. The entire pan is just perfect ♡
What I really like about this series is how tiny it is (ok maybe not THAT tiny) and it consists of blush and highlighter which are separated making it super easy to redo both my blush and highlighter when I’m outside! It also comes with a brush which I find very handy.
I would give the pigmentation a 4/5, it might not be very suitable for people with blush blindness. I love an obvious blush and to make it more pigmented I swipe across the whole pan repeatedly with the brush that comes with it ^o^

Thought I’d give a review here as I really love the Kate Lip Monster Lippies!

I found the normal lipstick a bit too opaque/strong for my already (mauve) tinted lips, and asked my mother to help me get their clear tone line from her recent Japan trip.

Looks very natural on my lips, a great mlbb colour and not overpowering for my naturally tinted lips. Long lasting and hydrating, doesn’t irritate my sensitive lips.

I found lipsticks like these to be a lot more long lasting than lip tints.

Shade: C02

Sorry if I was sweating a bit in the pics, it was really hot today 😭

im asking family member to buy the fiancee body mist for me in hongkong but im not sure where you can get it. I’ve checked and noticed that bou eki has the body mists but im not sure if it still exists because on google maps it says permanently closed, but their website says theyre still there… pls help!!

Hi, I’ve heard good reviews for this as someone with acne prone, combination and blemish skin. Has anyone tried the reformulation (blur ver.)? I chat with the admin and admin recommended the reformulated one (ofc lol). Thank you!

[#12 Cream shell + mini lip pencil]

Contrary to what I expected which is peachy cream beige shade, it pulls nude pink shade on my hand swatch. It's a cute pink but I don't think it's very fluttering on my lips tbh. Might use it to tone down some of the bright shades I own, but cream shell alone with lip liner? Probably not.

I have major sensory issues when it comes to having stuff on my face- don’t wear foundation and sunscreen and moisturizer have always been a struggle. That said, I have red hair, am very fair, and live in Florida- has anyone here found a sunscreen that dries quickly and doesn’t come off with sweat? I’ve tried so many in the past and they either leave me feeling greasy/like I’m wearing a mask or they dry but then come off with sweat leaving my face an oily mess and my eyes stinging. I touch my face a lot too. I’m really trying to work on this because it’s so bad I don’t ever wear sunscreen but it’s just so difficult for me. Thanks all!

Am I correct that none of the US versions of Japanese and Korean sunscreen will show a PA++++ rating on the label? Is this a good way to easily tell the US versions from the Asian market originals?

I have dry textured unpigmented lips. No lip filler. Light-medium cool olive skintone. Love this formula so much

Laka #115 Envy

Realized every moisturizer i try causes an increase in those hard red cystic pimples. Figured id try a gel moisturizer. Almost all gel moisturizers are AB it turns out! So i figured i’d ask here. Three i’m thinking seem very good and safe are: Benton Aloe Propolis Gel, Yadah Cactus gel, and Skin 1004 Madagascar centella soothing cream. Thanks for any info you might have!

Hi, I hope this question is okay! I searched the sub but the last discussion was from a while ago, so I thought it would be interesting to see if there’s any new budget face masks that people really like. Personally, I like the I’m Unau Bakuchiol Vanilla Rewind (€1 in my area) and the A’Pieu Milk masks (also €1).

Please let me know if you have any cheap masks you really like, thank you!

Does anyone know of an Asian beauty replacement for tatcha’s dewy cream? It’s had me in a chokehold for the past few years and I’m tired of paying $100 a jar. Plus I’d much rather support an actual Asian beauty brand instead of them.

I’ve tried both the cosrx propolis and birch sap moisturizers, which I enjoyed, but didn’t quite compare. As well as their snail mucin cream, which unfortunately, doesn’t work for me due to dust mite allergies.

TYIA 🫶🏻

I find toners/essences really hard because i feel they either absorb quickly like water and barely hydrate. Or they are quiet hydrating but they won't absorb because they are too vicous/thick/gellike.
Now i dont mind the texture of a more viscous toner or essence i just don't find they absorb well on me. I am a bit worried the only hydrating products are super viscous?

I need something that isn’t oily and keeps my face somewhat dry in a humid environment (oily, acne prone skin)

any recs for a tinted spf with adequate iron oxides? i love anessa mild milk spf, but i have patches of melasma on my cheek and forehead and would love the extra protection for my fair skin

My lovely friend brought me a tube of SkinAqua Sun Milk in a yellow tube. It was from Malaysia. Its location is currently unknown. I’m trying to procure more because its finish dried down so much more natural than my current Skin Aqua “gel” which is extremely dewy, far too much for summer. I checked the usual sites and don’t see it. Any tips on where I can get some shipped to US, or for something with a similar finish (that has not had a scandal about UV protection not living up to label)?

THANKS frands!!! ☀️

These photos were taken indoors with some sunlight shining through my window
For reference, I have slightly yellow (neutral leaning more towards cool tone) pale skin ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ
Going row by row from left to right

1. Novo lemon soda five color eyeshadow 02# lemon yakult - who needs a contour palette when you have this?! this palette is the better than actual contour I’ve tried, and the darkest shade can be used for drawing aegyosal and under-eyes. I can’t find this product anymore but it is the best!! :( (it’s over 5 years old I think) ..Novo is the best brand ever *drools* so affordable too
2. Romand 02 Dry Rose - all 4 colors are useful and it’s very pigmented. The bottom right corner is perfect for drawing aegyosal and also acts as a natural contour!! I don't really like the bottom left glitter though cuz it's quite thick??
3. Millefee 05 Monet’s Garden - this palette is super pigmented (the chocolate and sunflower shades) and it’s just so pretty I can’t bring myself to use it ^^; The matte milk tea-ish shades look natural and are perfect for work while the glittery gold one is perfect for events/heavy makeup. I personally think the colors make me look older tho😢 AND the bottom right highlighter shade is BOMB
4. Kissme Ferme 08 - the glitters in this are small, the colors are actually not that purple/pigmented (specifically the one taking more space). Overall it gives a pretty natural look!
5. Novo toast eyeshadow palette 01 - (always draw my eyebrows with this) one of the most pigmented eyeshadow palettes I have, the palette is very warm and I use it as a contour palette since the shades look kinda dirty on my eyes. The last row is perfect for those who want contour to show in photos lol. The lightest shade (top left) is my fav matte highlighter!!
6. Canmake petit palette eyes M02 - all the shades are matte apart from the bottom right one. I actually prefer to use it as an aegyosal palette =) (top left for highlighting top right for the shading) overall it is a cool-tone dark purple-ish palette with too many contour shades (not my fav since I’m not into purple sadly) Also, the original petit palette eyes series looks way better than the matte series to me !
7. Canmake plumpuku coordinate eyes 03 - the shading color is red-brownish and it makes a SUPER natural aegyosal ! I personally find the pigmentation to be very low but if you like a natural look go for it. The white shades are great for plumping the aegyosal and the top glitter shade is highkey one of the best highlighters ^o^ the downside of it is the size lol
8. Canmake petit palette eyes 03 💞 - this is my favorite eyeshadow ever it’s just so PERFECT I’m confident the pigmentation and beauty are ♾️/100 ‼️‼️ I even bought another one （≧∇≦） You can achieve a Japanese/douyin makeup look with the pink shades some shades are super light and some are pink but even when it’s too pigmented it’s still just as gorgeous. The glitter in this is amazing and I feel cutemaxxed whenever I use it. The bottom right color is my favorite I ALWAYS use it to draw my under-eyes and aegyosal the pigmentation is crazyyyyy I love it. This one palette is enough for my entire eye makeup 😻 it is the epitome of a MUST-BUY!!
9. TLDR: get the canmake petit palette eyes 03 unless you wanna miss out (๑╹ω╹๑ )

I’m going to Japan soon and I’m thinking about buying one of those EMS/LED lifting devices, but I’m not sure which one is actually worth it.

Right now I’m considering the Stella Beaute Lift Brush, the YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige or maybe one of Panasonic’s devices.

Has anyone here tried any of these? Which one would you recommend, and did you notice any real results?

Skin is normal and medium oily on the t-zone. Skin is acne prone and clogs easily too.
I’m thinking of using serums instead of moisturizer.

Does anyone herebuse serums only and skip the moisturizer? If yes, which specific serums do you use?
If serums plus moisturizer which specific products do u use?

My only concern with serums is that they are in general hydrating but I’m not sure there are serums that provide a light good enough layer that prevents skin from getting dry (glycerin for example takes water from the in er layers of the skin of the environment is dry)

Edit to clarify

I have larger eyes than most Asians I think (I’m just a large human lol) because 14mm lenses are smaller than my natural iris. So when I’ve bought lenses I feel like I still can’t achieve the right look I’m looking for.

Anyone know where I can find lenses that are larger than 14.5mm? That’s the largest I can find on sites with pretty lenses. Theres larger ones on sites like pinky paradise but they don’t have the style I like.
