^^ grabe pala allergic reactions mo dun. Eto yung rating sa cosdna ng missha fte http://www.cosdna.com/eng/cosmetic_7cc0226365.html

[budzwhiz]

Scary naman sis budz. I hope you're feeling okay. I placed an order pa naman.

Thanks sis, nakaka-down, I hope okay sya sayo.

^ Oo nga eh, nakakatakot. Natatakot na tuloy ako mag try ng mga products. Next time, half nalang muna ng face ang lalagyan ko pag magrroadtest. Para at least ma-spare yung other half kung sakaling may reaction.

[ataypool]

^may food allergies ka ba? Sayang naman kung vit C and niacinamide may allergy ka. Punta ka na lang sa doctor pa-test ka?

[lovely_chic]

So far, okay naman sa akin ang Missha FTE kahit nga yung bf ko hiyang din. Nakaka brighten ng face and since I've been applying this on my face never na ako nagkaka acne.

[budzwhiz]

^^ Yes, I do have rin. Parang ewan nga I'm hoping na sa kinain ko yun, di ko pa rin ma-let go si Missha. I'll probably give it to my mom or dad nalang, and try a different essence with less ingredients (Cosrx or IOPE). Fingers crossed na it's not niacinamide but just some ingredient in Missha FTE. Baka nga I'll go to the doctor na rin next week. Thanks sis.

Love Nature Republic's aloe vera soothing and moisturizing cleansing gel. I broke out after using Philosophy 3 in 1 cleanser (as in I woke up the morning after using it and my face was covered in these red bumps and patches!) and Nature Republic's cleansing gel really helped my skin. After a few days my skin was back to normal. I think it's the aloe vera ingredient that helped a lot. Super thankful for this product talaga. Will try their Forest Garden Argan Oil next.

Hi sisses. Magpapabili sana ako sa kilala kong punta ng Korea. We're not that close kaya 1 item lang pabili ko. If there's 1 item na pinaka - worth it na ipabili, what would it be?

[lovely_chic]

^ Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel, it's a multi purpose product. You can use it as a primer, moisturizer, sleeping pack, and okay din sya sa hair.

[ataypool]

^^If I'm going to Korea I will go for the expensive ones and hard to get outside Korea like:
Sulwhasoo, History of Whoo, Amore Pacific - any product
Sum37- Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick, Secret Programming Essence
Leaders Sheet Masks
Missha - Time Revolution and Night Repair range

Pwede din Hera , Hanyul, Whamisa, Belif, Illi, O Hui. Go to www.w2beauty.com or www.testerkorea.com to give you an idea. Blogs like skinandtonics, wanderlust project, the beauty wolf, beautiful buns are good sources too.

Iyong Sum37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick is 27 USD sa w2beauty, mas mura siyempre sa Korea and very much in demand pa, nagkakaubusan din. I'm waiting for my order, bibili dapat ako ng Banila Co Cleansing Balm almost the same price pero iyong sample size ko na 10ml wala pang one week ubos na, not cost effective for me.

[izzie7]

^maganda daw makeup remover yung banila co then rose cleansing stick after. $21 yata sya sa memebox app.

^^go for expensive brands nga.. Mga 300 lang yata yung aloe gel sa landmark dun ka nalang bumili. Anong type ba hinahanap mo para madaling makapag suggest.

Gusto ko yung belif eye cream sa video ni gothamista kaso sa korea lang meron.

Nag bha + aha ako kagabi with 1hr rest in between. Ok naman parang namula ng konti yung face ko. Will do it twice a week. Tapos klairs vit.c sa daytime.

Ano bang ok na spot treatment?

[ataypool]

^maganda talaga Banila Co for removing make-up but two teaspoons gamit ko each use, bilis maubos. Pero mas okay pa rin ito than Avene Micellar Water with removing makeup and sunblock.

[marchbaby]

Thanks sisses lovelychic, ataypool and izzie for the suggestions. Hirap when you have to choose just one. I know you understand that. Haha.

Sana all of the good stuff will be stocked na din at althea no?

@izzie sis, where did you buy the klairs vit c? Did you use cosrx aha and bha?

[izzie7]

^ yes cosrx bha and aha sa theskincarecurator ko binili saka yung snail essence nilagay ko after. Yung klairs vit c sa instagram kay darabeautymarket kasi may onhand sya that time. Nag order din ako ng kalirs toner pang balance ng pH pag mag actives at c21.5 sheet mask at innisfree sheetmask kay frombusantocebu sa instagram may preorder sya or incoming stock.

So far may nalessen lang yung acne ko pero may occasional cystic pa din. nag eenjoy naman ako pagpahid ng madami sa face. Yung pores ko malaki pa din saka bihira ko lang gamitin yung pore corset ng skin miso kasi ang dami ko nang nilalagay hindi ko alam kung pwede basta ko na lang ilagay din haha

[drag0nfly]

Suggestions naman for starter sets from Skin Food and The Face Shop.  I'm backreading pero ang daming brands di ko alam ano dapat piliin.

Kung pwede paki-include suggestions for the whole regimen: facial wash-toner-mask-serum-moisturizer-sleeping pack    First time ko kasi mag-try ng Korean brands.  TIA!

[marchbaby]

Thanks sis izzie for including the names of the sellers.  Di pa kasi ako familiar with them.

[BacMook]

Ako rin gusto ko magstart magstart ng korean regimen kaso nalilito ako sa dami. Hihi.  Ano ba starter pack?

[izzie7]

May mga nagbbenta ng starter sets sa instagram (minis). Mag browse kayo sa althea kasi may descriptions dun tapos check nyo na lang sa faceshop or skinfood kasi usually parepareho lang naman yung star ingredient para lang may idea kayo kung para saan sya.

[nikkitah]

Thanks mga sis!  Nareceive ko na nung Monday order ko. Like ko box nila. hehe...

I've been using yung MIssha FTE for 2 days na. Yung BB cushion ng CYC naman hindi ako hiyang.Panget talaga skin ko. Di kinaya pagka oily ng skin ko.

May kapag try na sa inyo ng COSRX AHA 7 WHITEHEAD POWER LIQUID? Effective ba for getting rid of whiteheads?

[marchbaby]

^sis, when did you order? Monday last week? And when did you receive it? Waiting for my order. First time to order from althea.

I haven't tried cosrx aha but I have read rave reviews. You have to be diligent about sunscreen use lang daw once mag aha.

[nikkitah]

Nung May 13 kami nag-order. May promo code sila nun for addt'l. 13% off plus 150 points namin kaya laki ng tipid namin. hehe.... tapos nung Saturday unang attempt to deliver kask wala akong cash kaya pinabalik ko sila ng Monday.

I work at night naman saka pag daytime lagi rin akong naka sunblock. Yung Biore naman gamit ko. Sana lang talaga mag pay off ang lahat ng efforts na to. Hahaha....
