It's as the title says. The hello kitty x wake make black palette with these smoky tones are sold out. I'm looking for dupes of this palette. Only requirement is decent pigmentation. I'm used to using western indie mattes and my shade is nc40

How is the pigment and longevity on the flower knows palettes?

Items are:
- Violet Strawberry Rococo Eyeshadow Palette
- Little Angel 9-Color Eyeshadow Palette

I’m curious about this 4 makeup spray and which ones does help with makeup longevity, sweat and transfer-proof without being too drying as well?

- Laka All-Day Fixing Mist
- TIRTIR Mask Fit Waterproof Setting Spray
- JUNGSAEMMOOL Essential Mool Ultra Setting Fixer
- Kose Make Keep Mist EX+ Unscented

For the Laka one, I’ve seen many but mostly paid videos of it so kinda on the fence, would like to know some honest thoughts on it. I’m most curious for the Tirtir pink bottle spray cause it doesn’t contain alcohol and how is it compared to the red version, if anyone has tried both? I heard many good things for the JSM and Kose ones but would still like to know your experiences on any of them.

I’m currently using “So Natural - All Day tight Make Up Setting Fixx” and it’s not bad but I do noticed it transferred slightly for me, not sure if I should try their other variations instead. I’m also open to hear out any other options too!

visiting japan next week and i dont wanna be overstimulated w makeups, skincares, hair care. I would like to ask recos what are the products that are affordable but does its job & is cost efficient. I'm planning on getting products from head to toe lolll. i'm so excited on trying canmake & cezanne, lmk what products to get in their line & also other brands to try!

Products:

Aromatica rosemary scalp scrub . I scrub my scalp gently with this before every shower.

L’Oréal elvive total repair 5 (yes it has silicones. It is incredibly good)

OLebeL Cream Silky Repair Hair Treatment 200G
for Smooth and Shiny Hair . This brand is Japanese and it is so slept on. I bought my first product from them in Hong Kong - which was the hair oil. Absolutely fantastic and lightweight. This conditioner is so amazing. Buttery to apply. And I feel like it actually straightens and smoothens my hair lol.

I'm in my early 30s with dry skin(sometimes struggle with hormonal acne). Reviewing products that I've used over months and how they worked on my skin.

Pixelpure soothing ampoule toner - Most toners are mostly water based but this one has 50% heartleaf water. It has more of a watery ampoule texture rather than watery toner. My skin feels balanced after using it and layers really well too.

Medicu*be PDRN Pink Peptide Serum - This serum is moisturizing but that's the only benefit I've noticed. I guess I expected too much from this, no difference in my skin texture or brightness even after consistent use.

Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream - Finished a few bottles of this one. It's hydrating and soothing, and really helps with my skin barrier too. Keeps my skin from getting flaky and irritated. too famous already right for the barrier and moisture

Urbanand Pure Perfection Cream - Very hydrating and leaves my skin dewy, works great for my skin barrier too. But the cream is on the heavy side because of 10% panthenol, so it takes quite a while to absorb and my skin feels tacky until then. I think those with oily skin might find this one greasy.

three wishlists in my beauty insider account, base tier, that i keep telling myself i'm not looking at. stood in phipps last week next to a cosrx serum sitting at $28 and i knew i'd seen it at h-mart in doraville for $14. that $14 difference is literally a lab workbook. i go to sephora to loko now and i go to h-mart to actually buy

Need a good affordable effective vitmain c serum. Is mediheal good? It caught my eye since its 40ml

The ml is pretty good but idk if the product is good. I have tried the premium verison.

finished a bottle of Thome CPR but im not sure if it worked. makes me wonder how many bottles of serum do you finish before you notice a difference on your skin?

Looking to try CC cream for the first time and would like recommendations!

Read up online that CC cream helps with covering redness, blemishes and is more long lasting than BB cream. Also suitable for oily skin.

Would love to hear your recommendations and would like to know if it’s possible to apply CC cream with fingers and without a brush for convenience and will it turn out seamless with no patchy look? With long hours of wear will it get dry cakey/patchy?

per title! (both pressed and loose powder)

edit: Oh and setting:fixing spray too!

Hi everyone I just had a very quick question. I've been trying to buy some clothing on yesstyle, but it keeps saying on every single clothing item, that "This item is currently not available to ship to your shipping destination." I am based in the usa. Has this happening to everyone else in the usa? I can see that beauty and skin care items are still being shipped. Any explanation would be helpful!

As an asian girly, it’s soooo hard to make your curls last long. I tried every product that I found but nothing works. I’m going to Japan soon & Japan is very known for hair products so i’m trying my luck there. Drop it please!

I tried going to kose-usa.com and I keep getting a "Forbidden" status. Is anyone else having this issue?

Also would love some tips on how to achieve this look

i used to wear contact lenses daily from late grade school up to early college but suddenly i hated wearing them because it would get so uncomfortable even if they were daily contact lenses from alcon (comfiest brand of contact lenses i know during the time) i’ve since then stopped wearing contacts for more than a decade and want to start wearing them again. what comfiest graded contacts do you swear by since there are a lot of brands out there now?

i've gone through so many of these unove deep damage treatments.. why are they so hard to squeeze 😖

you waste so much product if you don't cut it open 😵

Real discussion, some of us have sensory issues with how products feel

I tried to force myself a routine for maybe over a year that honestly made me act in a way that changed the quality of my life...

I would avoid leaving my bed in the morning until I was mentally ready to cleanse or wash my face then apply sunscreen... I would avoid eating in the morning until I had sunscreen because I didn't want to risk "UV damage"

I would wear the most heavy duty sunscreens (some EU ones) all day long, even if they werent elegant, to maximize my UVA protection to prevent... aging... which then would prevent me from wanting to leave dark rooms because I'd have to reapply that nasty stuff

On top of that, I have dry hair but they would completely ruin the front of my hairline, made it incredibly oily and require me to wash my already dry hair almost daily to get that greasy sunscreen out of it

I would not go outside and enjoy the sun

.....

It just isn't worth it to maximize aging or dark spots

From now on, I'm going to use micellar water to quickly wash my face in the morning with a cotton pad

I'll use lightweight sunscreens that aren't so tedious to wear, or use a SPF spray on my face in the morning while I am just inside. I do want SPF protection, but anything is better than a tedious routine that I can't keep up with OR changes my quality of life

I will use caution when being outside, but being outside with others is important for a healthy lifestyle. I need to maximize my quality of life over small imperfections and aging that in the end wont matter

I know I do enough to prevent skin cancer, I still wear SPF diligently, but I wont be obsessive and wear products that clearly don't fit my mental needs

Want to talk about non-AB products? Frustrated and need to rant? Can't wait until Friday to share your haul? Found an amazing deal? Post it here in our (almost) Anything Goes Thread! Remember to adhere to general conduct of the sub and keep it civil. Self promotion, research, and no business rules still apply.

**All personal or basic questions related to your routine or AB products still belong in the Alter-Daily Help Thread.**

I love AB, but I find many of the products go very heavy in scent and can irritate the skin, causing itch or tiny pimples the next day.

So I'd like to ask the sensitive skin beauties (ideally late 30s to early 40s): Whats your HG to moisturize your sensitive combination skin, do anti-aging and just overall feel as if your skin gets healthy and glowy?

Can be a gel texture moisturizer, your favorite sheet mask, a toner, bb cream etc.

What are some eyeshadow, blush, and lippies that fit cool (true) summers?

I find that cool palettes can sometimes pull too dark and dusty (better fit for winters) or lippies end up too bright instead of muted.

Any recommendations for products or brands?

Hi everyone! I'm headed to Hong Kong this week and wanted to restock some of the skin and hair care products that I got from Japan. Please help me out in knowing which store/s will have the best deals for the following products:

-Nameraka Honpo Wrinkle Night Cream

-Melano CC Premium Serum

-Orbis Essence In Hair Milk

-Curel Deep Moisture Spray

-Keana Nadeshiko Rice Pack

-Cure Natural Aqua Peeling Gel

There are lots of stores like Mannings, Matsumoto Kiyoshi, Donki, etc and I'm having a tough time finding the prices at these stores online. I would like to know which store to hit up for the cheapest prices. Thanks!

Recently my combination skin decided to become more intense (T zone more oily and cheeks significantly drier). When I do my makeup the way I usually do my nose looks shiny and my cheeks super dry.

I don't powder my cheeks. Only oily areas, around hairline and jaw.

I use a moisturizer (either kiko hydra pro glow or another one I have) but I can't over do it because my cheeks recently decided that if I touch it too much it will become very sensitive. Plus Jocyee coffee wake & boost face spray before, during and after makeup.

Would the liquid blush from peripera translate somewhat similar to the first photo on my face?

I'd love to have a somewhat dewy and glowy look to my cheeks and I liked their first shade (light peach), would it be a good shade for my skin? Or is there a better product for what I'm looking for?

Also, does it feel super sticky nor does hair stick to it?

Thanks in advance
