Hey skincare enthusiasts! 👋 I've decided to dive back into the world of skincare after a bit of a hiatus due to school, stress, and life in general. I've got a bunch of products, some I've used before and some new ones, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed about where to start. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Here's what I've got:

Products I Have: 
Papa Recipe (bought all of this for 844 pesos because of a 50% discount and sales.)
- Blemish Enzyme Cleanser
- Eggplant Clearing Sun Cream
- Retinol Bakuchiol Serum
- Noble Rot Lifting Cream (freebie.)
- Noble Pot Lifting Ampoule
- Papa Recipe Blemish Balm 

 Yehwadam Products (Gifted by my mom for my sister and I to use. Which i do use but only sometimes.)
- Artemisia soothing moisturizing cream
- Artemisia soothing moisturizing toner

I used to have a routine but can't quite remember the exact steps and frequency. Plus, I'm wondering if I should introduce these products one by one or jump right in with a full routine? Your advice and personal experiences would be super helpful. Let's embark on this skincare journey together! 🌟

Starting Fresh with a Skincare Routine! Need Advice on Where to Begin 🌸

Hi everyone,

I'm feeling a bit lost and concerned right now. Out of nowhere, one side of my arms has become incredibly itchy, and when I scratched it, I noticed it has developed many little bumps. This has never been a problem before, and it's quite unsettling. The strange thing is, it wasn't bothering me earlier, but after I hung the laundry, it suddenly turned red, itchy, and the bumps started forming.

I tried applying moisturizer, which provided some relief, but I'm still unsure about what could be causing this sudden reaction. I did some household chores like washing the dishes, but it didn't feel like this initially, just a mild itchiness. Now, it's escalated into something more uncomfortable with a burning sensation.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any idea what might be happening? I haven't encountered anything like this before with bumps and a burning sensation, so any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can provide!

Help! Sudden Itchiness and Bumps on One Arm😕

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm diving into the world of contact lenses, specifically looking for daily ones for makeup looks. I'm not too keen on monthly lenses since I'll mainly be wearing them for makeup purposes. Any tips or important info from fellow lens wearers would be super helpful!

I've been eyeing O-Lens, but their prices are a bit steep for my budget. They mostly come in sets of 4 or 10, ranging from 750-1100 pesos (roughly 12.76-18.72 USD), which is a bit much for me. 🤑 I'm also wary of going for super cheap options, as I want to make sure they're legit, licensed and FDA-approved.

Has anyone tried Olola Lens/lensbyseoul? I'm intrigued but cautious, and I'd love to hear your thoughts if you've given them a go! Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice! 🙏

Looking for Affordable Daily Contact Lenses for Makeup – Any Recommendations? 😊

Hey everyone,
I've been experimenting with makeup lately, trying to recreate different looks, but I keep running into the same issue – my bottom lip always seems thinner and less defined compared to my top lip. It's not something that bothers me too much on a daily basis, but when I'm trying to achieve certain makeup looks, it becomes really noticeable and kind of bugs me. 😕

While I wouldn't say my lips are super thin, but the unevenness is definitely there. I've been searching for non-invasive ways to enhance the fullness of my bottom lip without resorting to any procedures. So, if any of you have any tips or tricks up your sleeves, I'd love to hear them!

I'm already experimenting with lip makeup techniques, but if there are specific products or application methods that have worked wonders for any of you, I'm all ears. And if you need a visual, I've attached a picture of my lips with my current lip makeup on. 💄💋

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!

Seeking Tips for Fuller Bottom Lips 💋

Hey everyone, I've noticed something concerning happening when I shower or simply run my fingers through my hair. Every time I do, about five strands of hair end up in my hands without me pulling or tugging. It's been happening consistently, and I'm starting to wonder if this is normal or if I should be concerned.

I've never experienced this level of hair loss before, and it's been going on for quite some time. I'm curious if anyone else has faced a similar issue or if there are any tips or advice on what I could do to address this. Should I be worried about this level of hair fall, or is it within the realm of normal? Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated!🤔✨

Experiencing Excessive Hair Fall in the Shower - Normal or Concerning?🚿

Shopee

if you skip lip prep, you might end up with a cracked, crusty or uneven finish.  💋 

Additionally, the sweet scent, while pleasant for the most part, can be a bit overwhelming at times and may cause some discomfort, especially for those sensitive to strong fragrances. 

Lastly, while the color is long-lasting, it does have a slight tendency to fade into a more pinkish-purple stain, which may not be ideal for those looking for a true nude finish.

I'm absolutely smitten with this matte lip tint specifically with this shade!💖 It's a tad bit darker than my natural lip color, but that's perfect for me since I lean toward paler lips. Layering it can make for a bold look, but I'm all about it! (The picture doesn't show it very well). 💄

(I snagged mine on Shopee from Yaocos, originally priced at ₱231, but with discounts, I scored it for just ₱106, roughly 1.82 USD.)

Let's talk scent—it's sweet! 🍬 🍫 🍰  Personally, I don't mind it, but sometimes it's a bit overpowering and can be a bit nauseating. The pigment of this tint is impressive! It glides on thinly, not sticky at all!

While not entirely transfer-proof, it holds up pretty well for a non-drying lip product. Not shiny but, there's definitely some moisture there when you press your lips together.

This formula stays put without gathering at the edges where dryness meets moisture and talk about staying power! 🕒 Even after a few hours, the color is still going strong, even if you can't feel it anymore.

Onto the color itself— 08 Dusty Beige is mauve color, definitely has hints of purple, and giving off a lovely nude vibe. 💜 💕 

Cons:
- Container sometimes leaks, so it's best to store it standing up 🚫
- High pigmentation which can make it hard to remove💄
- Stains anything it touches, like straws and cups, so be careful!
- Can feel a bit gloopy and sticky at times 🥴 (when you put to much layers)


My Experience with INGA Water Glow Lip Tint ✨💋

I've been using the INGA Water Glow Lip Tint for a few months now, and it has quickly become a favorite in my makeup collection. This product provides rich moisture with a long-lasting, non-sticky, glossy, and watery formula. It's filled with moisturizing ingredients that keep my lips plump and hydrated, almost like a lip care treatment. The formula is thinner and clearer, offering abundant moisture and a soft, watery shine that makes my lips glow, especially in the sunlight 🌞. The glossy formula stands out by avoiding any stickiness or clumping, and the vibrant, highly pigmented colors cover my two-toned lips effortlessly.

Pros:
- Keeps lips moisturized and hydrated all day 💧
- Comfortable, non-sticky, glossy, and watery formula ✨
- Long-lasting color that doesn't fade easily 🎨
- Smooth and effortless application 🖌️

Shade Reviews:
Flow 🌊
Flow is definitely more pigmented than Rich Salmon and doesn’t turn milky. It’s bold and saturated, perfect for warmer tones and those days when I want my lips to really pop.

💔 Stickiness: It is somewhat sticky on the lips, similar to a lip gloss. This means it transfers easily, so it can stain anything it touches like straws and cups 🚫.

💔 Scent Sensitivity: While the chocolate scent is nice, it might not be for everyone. If you’re sensitive to sweet scents, it could be a bit overwhelming and occasionally makes me feel nauseous if I’m overly sensitized 🤢.

💖 It’s not very moisturizing.

Just tried the Peripera - Ink Mood Glowy Tint in shade #19 Mauve Chaos and here’s what I think:

💖 Shade: I absolutely love the shade 💜. It's a beautiful mauve that’s a bit thicker than some other glossy tints I own, giving it a richer color payoff.

💖 Scent: It has a sweet chocolate like scent 🍫, which adds a delightful touch every time I apply it.

💖 Application: The texture is similar to a lip gloss but slightly thinner, making it easy to glide on the lips 💄. It also leaves a nice stain, so the color lasts even after the gloss wears off.

💖 Packaging: The packaging is adorable and practical, making it easy to carry around 👜.

💖 Comparison: This shade is very similar to the Romand Dewyful Water Tint in shade #13 Custard Mauve but slightly darker and more purple with hints of more red. If you like that shade, you’ll love this one too.

💖 Price: I got mine at a discount for 199 pesos (around $3.39), which is an amazing deal for the quality 💸.

Overall, the Peripera - Ink Mood Glowy Tint in Mauve Chaos is a great addition to my collection, especially for the price. Despite its minor drawbacks, its pigmentation and staying power make it a fantastic buy 🌟.

P.S. The camera doesn’t really pick up the color well; it’s more purply-reddish brown in real life.

👎 Cons:
1️⃣ Pricey Investment 💸: One drawback to consider is that they come with a higher price tag, and the quantity you get may feel a bit less compared to what you pay.

2️⃣ Transfer and Smudge Prone 😫: Regrettably, these lipsticks are prone to transferring and smudging. This can be a bit of a hassle if you're looking for long-lasting wear.

3️⃣ Potential Patchiness 🙁: In some cases, they can really make your lips look patchy, especially on dry areas. So, extra lip care may be necessary.

🌟 Romand Zero Matte Lipstick in the shade of Evening 05, Review:

👍 Pros:
1️⃣ Non-Sticky Marvel ✨: I'm usually a huge fan of matte lipsticks, but the common issue is how they tend to make the texture of your lips more prominent. So, I decided to give Romand's Zero Matte Lipstick a try, and wow, it's an absolute game-changer. These lipsticks are wonderfully non-sticky.

2️⃣ Outstanding Matte Formula 🌟: The matte formulation of these lipsticks is beyond exceptional. They achieve that perfect matte look without leaving your lips feeling dry. It's rare to find a matte lipstick that strikes this balance so well.

3️⃣ Lip-Friendly 🌸: What's even more remarkable is that these lipsticks don't dry out your lips. They feel super lightweight and comfortable throughout the day, which is a massive win.

4️⃣ Lip-Blurring Magic ✨: The blurring effect these lipsticks have on your lips is something to be impressed by. It provides a stunning canvas for your lip color, smoothing out imperfections effortlessly.

5️⃣ Remarkably Pigmented 💄: The pigmentation of these lipsticks is top-notch. One swipe delivers a burst of color that's hard to beat.

6️⃣ Gorgeous Lip Effect 💋: These lipsticks truly create a gorgeous effect on the lips. Whether it's the finish, the color, or the overall look, they excel in making your lips stand out beautifully.

7️⃣ Aesthetically Pleasing Packaging 🎁: The packaging of these lipsticks is nothing short of gorgeous. They look as good as they perform.

💔 Cons:
- High pigmentation can make it hard to remove

- Stains anything it touches, like straws and cups, so be careful!

- Can feel a bit gloopy and sticky at times when too many layers are applied

Having used the INGA Water Glow Lip Tint for several months, it's become a staple in my makeup routine. The formula provides rich moisture with a long-lasting, non-sticky, glossy, and watery texture. It's packed with ingredients that keep my lips hydrated and plump, almost like a lip care treatment. The thin and clear formula offers ample moisture and a soft, watery shine, making my lips glow, especially in sunlight. The vibrant, highly pigmented colors cover my two-toned lips effortlessly.

❤️ Pros:
- Keeps lips moisturized and hydrated all day

- Comfortable, non-sticky, glossy, and watery formula

- Long-lasting color that doesn't fade easily

- Smooth and effortless application

(Updated Packaging and Formula/ Renewed Ver.)
- The new packaging feels different. It's shorter in height but thicker in width compared to the old packaging. It appears to be made out of acrylic now, and the brand name is engraved. The sticker on the bottom is clear rather than colored to match the tint from the old ver. This updated look is definitely more cute and elegant. The smell remains the same but slightly milder, though you wouldn't notice the difference unless you really focus on it. 

- With the new packaging, the tint stands up properly and has a more secure top, reducing the likelihood of leaks. The texture is also less sticky and thick than before, though this change is subtle. 

Shade and Performance:
SPLASH💧 
- As for the shade itself, it appears milky upon first application but darkens slightly as it sets on the lips. Personally, I find it too bright/pale to wear on its own since it's a cool-toned pastel shade, similar to the "Bare Peach" shade but cooler. It works great for creating a gradient lip look. However, what might look pale on me could appear darker on someone else – this is just my personal opinion.

(Note: Even though it's pale, the stain actually looks darker and makes my lips look naturally mauve or a muted purple color.)

Overall, the Renewed Ver. maintains the same pros and cons from the old packaging, with some notable improvements.
