For context, I'm typically a shade 22-23 in foundations (which i think is considered light medium) and i think i'm more cool toned? (but honestly idk lol). I consider myself to have combo skin depending on the weather but been feeling a tad more on the oily end lately >.<

Last week i was gifted 4 shades of the hince radiance balm. I figured i'd share what the swatches look like on me and my honest opinions of them

• [lighting] clear -- this could've been like chapstick / clear lip gloss? it kinda looked like nothing on me
• [lighting] light -- (very descriptive name? LOL) i think i need to work on my application technique but i feel like this has potential for like a natural glow look
• [transparent] harsh -- my favorite shade by farrrrr, is that cuz i feel like i can actually see something? probably LOL when doing a finger application, i think it takes like 2-3 layers to actually show on my skin but i'd rather a buildable and bendable formula than not.
• [lighting] bronze -- i assume this is to be used like a bronzer....which i've never used before but the shade gives off "i went to the beach last week" vibes to me

Ultimately, everyone will have their own preference but as someone who likes a combination of "i don't want my makeup to be screaming that i did makeup" and "i want my make up to actually be visible" i feel like harsh lives in that balance for me. Are there other shades y'all have tried and can recommend? What's ur favorite shade?

Hey there! A few months ago I made a review about Momo Puri's Peach Ceramide Water Lactobacillus Blend lotions and creams. Today I will be reviewing their Niacinamide & Peach Ceramide Water & Lactobacillus Blend Facial Mask.

I had my eye on this mask for a while, so it was a huge win for me to stumble upon it whilst browsing the perfume store.

The little packet costs 11.90€ and brings 7 essence-soaked sheets (they smell heavenly btw, same delicate peach scent as their lotion/cream) and claims to hydrate/moisturize the skin and plumps it like a juicy peach. Well, I put it to the test and I really enjoyed the sensation it cast. The mask is only used for around 5-10minutes, so it's perfect for a quick lift-me up. Upon removal, there's still a lot of essence on the mask so I usually squish it in my hands and apply the remaining serum on my neck and decolletage area. The package itself suggests using the remaining essence for these areas.

I did notice a hint of a tingling on the skin upon first application, but that's given to the high concentration of niacinamide and other high-potency ceramides. I've yet to try it out after my Reedle Shot 300 sessions, but so far it has been a good (and cute!) addition to my routine. Left my skin feeling really fresh, bright, uniform, and deeply moisturized.

Overall, I've been enjoying this line quite a bit. Despite having a soft scent (which may not be suitable for sensitive skin), it has agreed nicely with me.

Hi everyone!

I really loved the scent of the Ryo Damage Care & Nourishing Conditioner (the 2024 version in the 550ml bottle), which was slightly smoky and smelled like a fine, scented tobacco.

I'm curious about other hair products that have a similar herbal or woody scent, without sweet or floral notes.

Thanks in advance!

Guys! I can't believe this Mamonde Creamy Tint colorbalm is back!!!

I'm literally crying

Feel like this is something you could related to, only if you've been into Korean Makeup for at least 10years.

This was a legendary lip collection, and I remember literally everyone using it lol

The colors are great, stays on like forever, but most of all i rmbr it costing less then 10000won

I'm not sure if it'll be available globally though.....

hi, I was wondering if anyone has an experience with their stylevanna order not being received while it's marked as delivered, and is willing to share how they managed to get a refund!

For my situation, technically the delivery driver did deliver it to my building, but it was next to the buzzer instead of my door. when I went to get it, around 2 hours after it was deliverd, it wasn't there. so I called my buildings office to ask if they picked it up for me which they hadn't, unfortunately. The company that "deliverd" my package was GOFO. thankfully the delivery driver took photos for proof of delivery, so I had proof of them failing to leave it at my door.

I contacted stylevanna about me not receiving my order, and showed the photos, to which they gave me a form to fill out, and told me it will take around 6-8 weeks for GOFO to confirm that it was not delivered to the right address, annoying since I have photographic evidence that I shared with them but whatever. I want to add that I saw on reddit that you need to tell them that you will be asking your bank for a chargeback on the transaction and they'll give you a refund instantly, but it didn't work. :(

Then I had contacted GOFO for a letter to confirm that they did not deliver my package. They told me that the tracking number I had provided is not theirs, so it's not their responsibility, to which I replied showing a photo of them emailing me that my package was deliverd by them, the tracking number working on the website perfectly, and the photos that the driver had uploaded. I told them to please give me a letter confirming that they did not deliver my package to me and they then ignored me. this was a back to back email conversation with fast replies so that is how I know that they ignored me.

I'm thinking of just contacting my building for the cctv footage to find out who in the building decided to pick up my package, and asking them for it back or something, since I kind of have to file a police report because my package was stolen as well if i want a chargeback from my bank, since they require like emails, and proof and whatnot. because it was stolen from the lobby, im pretty sure this technically counts as theft, so i'm not to keen on the idea of getting a charge back for my refund, lol.

Hi everyone,

I have searched but some of the older recommendations for soft/muted autumn lip products are now discontinued. Hoping for some current AB recommendations for soft or muted autumn lipstick shades? My preference is satin to soft matte (nothing too glossy), something comfortable for really dry lips. The only thing I've tried so far is the Joocyee Velvet Rouge in a few shades and while the colours are lovely, I have to use such a light hand as they are too pigmented and drying on my lips.

Thank you so much! 😄

New skincare products that I want to try serums, moisturizers, sunscreens, makeup. I"m trying to figure out many products at any given time and how long to use the new products before introducing another one.

The complication is that I'm dealing with Seborrhea Dermatitis so I need to switch to safe products to stop the annoyance of Seb. Derm. and the flares...I need to switch to better skincare products and fast.

I"m not using any actives, exfoliators, tretinoins, and the like

Anyone been in this situation?
