Beauty post?
I've been emptying my makeup collection and kept only one (1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) eye shadow palette and a bunch of singles, 4 blushes, but way too much lip product. I am contemplating buying some of the Matte & Metal Melted Shadows from Huda Beauty. Anyone tried them?

I barely wear makeup anymore these days...generally I can't be bothered. But I was at a larp this weekend and I put some on before leaving because I was running late and I rrally liked it, so I might do a little bit more every now and then. I only own one eyeshadow palette (naked) but will stop using it when I run out (esp since it's discontinued lol) and buy singles of the shades I like. I do have a lot more lipstick than I need but that's fine, I like having them to choose from and I don't tend to only stick to a few shades.

I enjoyed Jennie's makeup in this but particularly in her scene with Lisa. I feel like there's not a lot of experimenting with makeup atm in kpop.

The Sephora spring sale started this weekend right?

Why are all the Asian products so much more expensive there than on YesStyle and other online retailers? It’s ridiculous.

rouge started a few days ago!

and yesstyle is one of the most expensive places to buy asian beauty online

maybe it depends on where you're from? i usually use sweetcorea, roseroseshop, or testerkorea and pay for shipping. the costs for the products are low enough that i don't mind paying for the shipping as long as it's not a huge haul - i'll buy like 3-4 things semi-regularly. i use jolse for a larger haul since they give free shipping over a certain threshold. i only use yesstyle for 3ce.

sweetcorea, roseroseshop, or testerkorea charge shipping by weight so it's still a good deal for smaller purchases.

It depends on what you’re buying tbh. I found some Missha stuff there cheaper than on Missha’s own website. With free shipping!

yeah i guess i don't have free shipping with yesstyle so i shouldn't say what i said lol. i do typically find that stuff is the cheapest on sweetcorea, roseroseshop, and testerkorea, though.

Sites like Sephora & YesStyle are more expensive because they have to import the products to their warehouse and pay for license and stuff. Sites like Jolse, Roserose or the ebay sellers are based directly in Korea

tbh, if you even have a cheap sparkle-y liquid eyeliner you could do something like this! i'm sure you could pull it off, too :3

Doing a no buy/product changeover for make up, skincare, and hair products so not buying anything for while but doing a research into what formulas I'd like to try when something runs out has been kind of fun.

Same here.

Last year I decided to stop buying new make up/skin care/shampoo's to empty out my cabinets and just get a clear view on what works for me and what does not. I'm still tempted to get certain products if the packaging is pretty though lmao

I am totally impressed with you limiting yourself to one palette! I could never do that. I have so many palettes already, yet I'm still all MUST HAVE MOAR PALETTES NAO! when I know perfectly well that it'd be cheaper to just buy the 2-3 shades I like as singles instead.

The "new" Naked isn't a heckuva lot different from the original, IMO, apart from the one bright coral shade. It's basically just different shades of brown and tan, as I try to remind myself every time I want to run out and buy it. I haven't tried that particular Huda palette but I know that's a really good brand (...if we're judging by how much it costs at Sephora, anyway).

I would LOVE more k-beauty posts! The semi-local store where I recently bought my first-ever SHINee CD is mainly beauty products and I would love to know more about them, but all the packaging is in Korean so I'm clueless. Apart from the double-eyelid tape, which I know I shouldn't have been shocked by, but I was. It looks so uncomfortable!

I think a Kbeauty/skincare post in the style of an FFA would be awesome

not that i know of. she likes bright colours and sparkly stuff and liquid/cream formulas so i know she's picking up some of the kaja beauty moon crystal pigments at the rouge sale. she's always been a big fan of the touch in sol foil & glitter eyeshadow duos but those are not as readily available anymore - looks like they have some on dollskill though.

Thank you, you're so sweetㅠㅠ
I actually did a monster of a blog post on glitter pots a long time ago if that would help!!

I really need to get back into doing posts like these but maintaining a blog while having a full time job is a lot 😫but they're such fun posts to put together!

i'm supposed to be on a lipstick no-buy because i probably have like 60 lipsticks but the new bite lip stains are so tempting..

also the 3ce eye switch in petal is available on yesstyle.

my rouge haul was mostly refills besides the nars voyageur palette in quartz and a jo malone perfume.

I was just looking at the BITE stains. I'm curious how they'd be vs the k-beauty ones I have. they look very bright.

Date: 2019-04-29 05:29 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] snowphone.livejournal.com
they do seem bright (based on reviews) - that's what's attracting me to them. and longevity. i actually don't have a lot of k-beauty stains, i think i tried one etude house one and gave up lol.

Can't deal with lipstick so I usually use stains or tinted balms and the best ones start strong and fade nicely. out of the ones I have I like the peripera ones best. i have a face shop one, tonymoly and a labiotte and they're just kinda ok. Might have to stop by sephora and see how they look irl. they're so much more expensive in comparison to k-beauty ones tho lol that's what trips me up.

the peripera ink velvet?

i really wish temptalia had come out with a review of the bite lip stains in time for the sale :(
they are pretty pricey though, even for bite.

From: [identity profile] vintage-boom.livejournal.com
yes! I have one of the ink velvet ones and two airy ink velvets (trying to stick to one formula per colour so I only have like 7 lip products total rn)

the only reviews I've seen for the bite one are first impressions so I'm curious to see truly how it fades.

temptalia put up a review! (https://www.temptalia.com/bite-beauty-strawberry-froze-outburst-longwear-lip-stains-reviews-swatches/) this shade is so pretty 😍

I really like this look but wasn't able to figure out how it was done (glitter liner, pigment, etc.), but rhinestones is a really creative approach!

I love makeup and I'm trying to get the most out of it before the weather gets hot and humid here. I stick to Glossier mostly and I'm tempted to buy their lidstar shadows as my first time going into wearing eye shadow. If I'm able to look good with it I may try something from Juvia's Place.I want to do fun but simple looks in the summer.

Has anyone tried Milk makeup? Is it any good or should I stick to glossier?

I also need to get back into my skincare routine. I've been looking rough i feel like and my melanin can only take me so far. I want to splurge on that Drunk Elephant Lala Retro whipped cream because that was probably the best moisturizer I've ever felt in my life.

the glossier lidstars are very sheer, even on pale skin so double check their return policy in case you don't love em. The milk liquid pigments are much more intense in comparison.
