Korean Skincare and Cosmetics Thread 2

Sis ataypool may sample na ko ng pixi glow tonic san ko naman ilalagay sa routine ko? So far pixi, missha ampoule, snail essence, night cream. Pano na yung bha ko every night? Wala na din yung fte? Yung hadalabo ko na may konting retinol din? Hehe thanks

[ataypool]

^Hadalabo lotion?

Day: wash, Pixi glow, BHA, FTE and/or Snail essence, sunscreen
Night: 2xwash (wipe with warm damp cloth instead of rinsing with water, iyan na ang manual exfoliation), Pixi glow, BHA or FTE or Hada labo lotion, Missha ampoule, night cream

May retinol din iyong Missha ampoule; test mo muna skin mo kung kaya sila pagsabayin on the same night with Hadalabo. Or if not, don't use them together, bale alternate nights sila.

I got my sample of Iope Bioessence. Odourless akala ko peke so nagbasa ako reviews, yes odourless nga. Claims ng 3 days visible effect, let's see after 2 days.

[izzie7]

^yey thanks hehe si gothamista kasi pinagsabay yung exfoliating toner nya saka yung missha ampoule. Pero may nabasa ako na sobrang konting retinol lang andun. Hintayin ko yung reviews mo sa iope, kung anong mas ok sa kanilang tatlo ni missha at cosrx, fte din yung iope diba?

[ataypool]

^yes FTE din ang Iope. May nakuha din ako sample ng the best FTE aside from SKII, Sum37 secret essence, gagamitin ko naman day after my acid treatment.

Ang Iope watery ang texture and quick absorbing. Nag-cotton ako, naasar ako kasi bilis na-absorb ng cotton so nilagay ko sa kamay para pahid na lang and anti-aging routine ko na rin sa kamay.

What I do now that I've received my Laneige orders is use the Multiberry Peeling Gel + Multiberry Repair Pack + Water Sleeping Mask on non-tret days. I've decided to use tret every other day nalang. Sana sipagin na rin ako maglagay ng sheet masks, haha.

I also started using na rin the CosRx Galactomyces Essence just this morning. Sana maging okay, fingers crossed. Pero ang consistency ha, grabe ang kaibahan.

[Ireneeeeee]

^bakit anong consistency nya sis? I have that too about to start palang inuubos ko pa si Missha FTE. tama ba yun pangreplace?

anybody here who already tried son and park beauty water? very good ang reviews nya excited for my order

[lovely_chic]

I'm impressed with Banila Co Clean It Zero. Sobrang effective pangtanggal ng makeup.

[cutemama]

ask ko lang sa mga matagal ng pinafollow ang korean regimen, may improvement na ba kayo nakikita? as in na-achieve na ba yung korean skin? sobrang dami kasing products eh. hindi ba masama pagsabay sabayin?

And yung missha FTE ano ba effect niya sa skin? Im planning to buy kasi kaso medyo pricey, kaya ask muna ko mga reviews.

[budzwhiz]

Sis Ireneee, mas thick sya compared to Missha. Ang consistency nya is in between FTE and a runny gel moisturizer (Mizon snail recovery gel). But yes, you can replace your FTE with it. Different lang ang positioning sa routine since it's an actual "essence" as compared to Missha na first essence/booster.

[Ireneeeeee]

^oh ok thanks sis!

sa akin sobrang laki i swear by it now. dati cleanse tone and moisturize lang eh. But when I turned 31 parang gusto ko na magfocus sa skincare instead makeup. Im far from achieving the korean skin na super flawless pero hopefully maachieve ko rin yun. Pero ngayon happy na ako na I can go out confidently na kahit walang makeup Which is minsan lang naman din kasi mahilig ako sa makeup lol! Pero mas masarap magmakeup kasi mas natural look na hindi na ako nagpapile up ng stuff sa face and halos hindi na rin ako nagcoconcealer..Tapos kapag nagnonose pack ako halos wala na rin makuha kasi hindi na ako nagkakaroon ng blackheads and whiteheads masyado and my face is less oilier too dati anggastos ko sa oil control film ngayon halos hindi ko na sila gamitin siguro once a day nalang..

halfway na ako sa bottle ng missha FTE ko and after 4 months of daily use napansin ko talaga difference..lalo na I had nasty preggy acne sobrang dami blemishes. Ngayon I dont use concealer na for undereyes na lang Kung may maiiwan na isang korean skin care siguro I'd choose the Missha FTE ganun ko sya kalove

[imyourangel]

^That is sooo encouraging! Lalo na yung sa oily part hehe. I'm super oily and parang give up na ata ako sa products to use for my face. Napakabilis maggrease up.

[ataypool]

Hindi pa naman ako may kutis porselana after many years of using Korean skincare. I still have enlarged pores sa pisngi but sa brightness and hydration nakatulong.

When you compare it against Western products pareho din naman na may hindi ka mahihiyang pero sa overall quality and costs; CoSRX and Missha, mas mura and more effective when compared to Olay and Loreal. Sulwhasoo is more expensive than Estee Lauder but I can buy samples ng Sulwhasoo.

[izzie7]

Nag start lang ako nung nag open ang althea. May improvement naman, less breakouts, nag lighten yung scars at mas brighter ang face ko. Saka nag eenjoy ako maglagay.

Hiyangan din pero mas fun kasi yung korean skincare ang daming choices from mura to mahal pero kahit yung nasa lower price range e maganda din naman.

[rarity]

Got my Althea loot today, Skinfood black sugar mask, Lanaige  sleeping mask and aloe vera 92%. Grabe ang bango ng korean products, so excited to try everything. Other than this I have only tried Korean BB creams like Missha perfect cover but   feeling ko mas hiyang talaga asian skin sa Korean products

[iwannabeasupermodel]

Mga sis ninenerbyos ako sa althea, i paid my order last week (tue) and today is the 8th day since i paid but hanggang ngayon ang status ng order ko is PROCESSING. So ibig sabihan ba nun di pa siya shipped? I still cant track it, no tracking number. I paid via dragonpay kasi i cant do COD dahil over the limit ako. Dragonopay confirmed it naman and subsequently confirmed by althea, they told me it is now being processed. But up to now processing pa rin siya. Yung sister ko paid via COD and got her package 7days flat.

addendum:
i messaged them and they did say na di pa nga daw nashiship from korea yung package ko huhuhu. so after 8 days wala di pa rin nila nashiship. nakakastress. huhuhu.

[Ireneeeeee]

^matagal talaga kapag dragonpay sis. officemate ko 10 days more nya nakuha. nauna pa sya one week sa akin mag order nun pero sabay lang dumating package namin..kasi parang 3 days pa ata yn dragonpay bago ilipat sa althea yun payment parang ganun..pinakamabilis yun paypal and i think COD.

nagorder nanaman ako ng new laneige cushion excited na ko! super love the pore bb cushion nila kaya lang wala yatang refill yun new cushion :<

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^ aaaw ganun pala sis. Wala kasi ako paypal. Maghintay na lang ako hanggang mag 15days tapos pag wala pa magtanong ulit ako sa althea.

[darna88]

aisde sa althea may marecommend pa ba kayo sure na authe tic benta nya na korean skincare and cosmetics? anyone have herd thebbcreamshopph?.   ok ba sa ka kanya magbuy sure na hindi fake? dami kasi nagkalat fake sa 999 mall in divi

[budzwhiz]

I want to try naman the CosRx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid. Hindi na ko naubusan ng gustong subukan na bago huhu. And also the Laneige Balancing Emulsion.

Sissies who do the double cleansing method, pa-recommend ako ng oil cleanser? Preferably something with no mineral oil or one that's good for sensitive skin. I don't wear makeup everyday, sunscreen lang so pass ako sa Banila Co clean it zero and other cleansing balms. I recently got this all-natural cleansing oil kaso parang nagkakapimples ako and my face feels so tight and dryyy after washing my face.

[ataypool]

^Laneige and Face Shop has good reviews.  http://www.fanserviced-b.com/a-review-of-15-first-step-korean-oil-and-other-cleansers/
Iyong CosRX has a cleanser too good for sensitive skin. https://fiftyshadesofsnail.com/2015/10/13/debut-review-cosrx-low-ph-good-morning-gel-cleanser/
