beauty post yaaay

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

I just did a big TesterKorea order and I'm anxiously waiting for my stuff to arrive lol. Has anybody used the A'pieu BB cushion before? This will be my first BB cushion so I'm excited to try it.

OP, the reason people put mayonnaise in their hair is because the oil and cholesterol from the eggs are moisturizing. You can just buy big jars of cholesterol by itself at beauty supply stores too but it can be a bit difficult to wash out of your hair.

Re: beauty post yaaay

[jessicamariek.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I actually have the A'Pieu Air Fit cushion! It's a little too pale for me right now (we'll see how it works in December though :P) but it's nice. I'd say it's about medium coverage, fairly dewy, inoffensive scent. I prefer the Missha Magic M Cushion fwiw but the A'Pieu is a good choice too.

I'm actually picking up an 11st haul from my post office on my lunch break today! Hnngh come to me, massive pack of sheet masks... *grabby hands*

Re: beauty post yaaay

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

ah ty! I tried out a bunch of bb creams/cushions while I was in in LA but they were all too dark/orange for me so I'm really hoping one of the shades I got will be a good match (I bought 2 just in case because they were so cheap anyway.) So far the only BB cream that's really matched my skin tone is Holika Holika's petit BB cream in Shimmering because I'm ghostly lol.

I just got a ton of sheet masks as well; they're so addictive :p

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

A'pieu cushion doesn't stick to my face well :( I have dehydrated combo skin with rosacea and I always had issues with stuff melting on my face (even after using primers etc) so yeah. It sometimes turns ghost pale on my face too, after few hours of wearing. Pretty average cushion but the price is decent at least. Missha Magic cushion is only tad bit higher priced and it's better for my skin. Medium coverage (lighter for the moisture ver and stronger for basic one) and it's not too dewy either. Not to mention they recently released Wonder Woman special edition :)

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

I got the Doraemon version of the A'pieu cushion, hahaha.

Actually I was originally looking at the IOPE cushion but I figured it would be better to try out one that wasn't so expensive first in case I didn't like that type of product. One of my local supermarkets is supposed to have an IOPE counter, so hopefully I'd be able to try it out before I bought it and make sure the shade matched.

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

IOPE cushion is my goal, haha. There are fake IOPE cushion cases on ebay and I think about just buying a refill to try it out.

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

That's not a bad idea, actually! I may have to do that if I decide to get the IOPE later...

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

there is a sub reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/) for ab skincare/make up i like to read. Someone actually bought fake case + refill (read here (https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/comments/3i4de9/my_cushion_case_came_in_today/)) and it works :) You can always use the empty case and just fill it with your fave bb. Some people mix products etc but it's not very safe, lfor example sunscreen spf gets affected when you mix it with wrong products.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

put mayo in your hair sounds so funny (but i read about it before and seems to work)
i bet it's hard to wash of your hair ... and that scent
i would feel i smell like a sandwich lmao

[torontok.livejournal.com]

These are so cute but also dangerous because I know I'd accidentally try to eat one in my sleepiness (especially those etude ones)

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

I know people who by mistake tried to eat Holika and Scinic all in one ampoules in honey. They look like jars of honey anyway, can't blame them.

[jaeslurpy.livejournal.com]

omg i want them.

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

Ugh I got that Tonymoly cacao pore pack but the smell is sooo strong that I can't bring myself to use it a second time.

Bought my first cushion foundation the other day inspired by the last beauty post. I can't wait till it comes.

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

That's partially what pushed me to order my first BB cushion as well, haha. Omona, you awful enabler.

[xoshio.livejournal.com]

Omg same! Which ond did you get?

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

My skin is soooo dry right now so I got the Innisfree ampoule intense cushion. I'm hoping it'll work well and that I got the right shade! I went back and forth between natural beige and true beige for a while, but ultimately went with the darker shade since I figured Korean bb cream are prob really light.

Which did you get?

[xoshio.livejournal.com]

I thought I had super dry skin and have always used products for dry skin but found out that I just have to moisturize well before applying makeup oopzzz hihi. I thought it was the moisturizer that made my skin so oily after applying makeup rip
So I got the Etude House one after watching a youtuber using it
Just to try it out hehe

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

I would like to try the honey essence.

[mspopstar.livejournal.com]

A lot of people love it but it broke me out :(

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

the latte art is really cute.

[v-glace.livejournal.com]

This is my whole aesthetic! I have the TonyMoly's peach and banana hand creams and I love them. The Royal Honey Essence is soooo pretty but the samples didn't work so spectacularly as to justify a full bottle :c

I loved Etude House's whole "Give Me Chocolate" line, I have the mint ice cream nail polish (and a chocolate one) and they're great. The chocolate bar eyeshadow palettes were so cute though!

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

the latte art pack is so cute but id never put a tonymoly product on my face tbh

its not packaged like food but the skinfood strawberry black sugar scrub smells and looks exactly like strawberry jam, i have to resist the urge to try eating it with a spoon

[kanbinayume.livejournal.com]

oooh why? I love their liners and I was thinking about their CC cream when I visited one of the NYC stores

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

i hear their makeups not bad actually but their skincare products are low quality and comedogenic ime. i just wouldnt use any product from them that i dont eventually wash off my face

[kanbinayume.livejournal.com]

hmm I didnt know. I'll have to look more closely at their skincare products tyty

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

No way! Seriously?
Their red appletox cream actually did wonders for my super sensitive skin.
I was so shocked because it's so cheap and nothing ever usually makes a difference on my face.

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

haha this just goes to show that skincare is such a highly individual thing, bc my skin is tough and resistant to almost everything but the red appletox cream made me break out. but if it works for you thats awesome, my current moisturizer is expensive af :(

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

the hair mayo lmao

the milk latte pack is cute hehe

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

the mayo looks disgusting, I can't believe it sells

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

It's supposedly very good (mends split ends etc, had a friend who used it) but I'm sure it would be too much for my oily hair plus the scent... nope
Jolse (online store with korean cometics) posted official review here (http://jjj-shop.com/tonymoly-haeyo-mayo-hair-nutrition-pack-review/) if you are interested.

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

well I guess it smells better then using real mayo but I don't think I'd want my hair to smell like butter (unless they mean shea butter or cocoa butter)

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

i think she meant butter the one you put on toasts... i have holika holika cream that smells buttery with a hint of spices and i think that would be a similar smell.

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I forgot to buy that cookie cream on testerkorea last time I ordered fron them... sobs. At least I got the skinfood gummy bear one and I think that's enough hand creams for now :p
Latte pack is discontinued tho (one of tony moly mushrooms is it I think) and macaron puff seem like non branded generic puffs. I bet you can buy them on ebay from china.

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

OMG I want that Peach Lip Balm.

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

this post just reminds me how much i want to go to a saem store. everything i have from them is so good. even the under eye concealer, a genre which i'm extremely picky with.
i bought some tonymoly stuff as gifts, it always works.
i have a non-korean chocolate bronzer from too faced, so confusing with the real chocolate smell.

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

I WANT IT ALL!!!

[aurellee.livejournal.com]

That peach handcream smells like Bath and Body Works everytime i walk by in the mall. It's really strong! I had to throw away the content, i kept the peach container though.

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

I own so much of the Etude house Sweet Recipe line .. too cute to resist.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I have Tony Moly's peach hand cream and some of the Etude sweet recipe products (candy bar lipstick, eye shadow and blush). I'm just a sucker for these cute beauty products.

[kamoteatmani.livejournal.com]

I am Etude House trash that I have almost everything in that collection.....
