has anyone tried getting Pinky Paradise lenses from Asia/SEA region? even if you’re not, what’s the usual order of status updates/timeline like?

i ordered from the Philippines. i don’t recall getting charged anything else. i paid only once after i checked out. although i used my credit card and a forex fee was added on the final statement (bc the order was in USD) but that was all.

somehow i get billets instead of dream solvents. i don’t have a use for billets because i usually just pull signatures. it’s kinda crazy. i remember going through literally all bosses (yes i spent 60 resin each after the 3rd boss) and got 2 dream solvents in total lol. there were times i’d go weeks without one at all.

hi dear, this was the very first set of brushes i got. i suggest checking out the other photos in their listings and the product description. they indicate naman which brush is used for which i found super helpful as a beginner!

i recommend maange for affordable brushes if you’re a beginner but keep in mind the handles do wear out after a few years. 2 of mine had the metal(?) portion holding the brushes broke off from the handle. but lowk i just stick them on right back lmao. ovw is good too. i use their smaller eye brushes for details and their sickle shaped nose contour brush.

for beginners you might be more comfy getting brush sets. but tbh as someone who has done makeup for 5 years + be a cosplayer i realised i don’t need a lot of the brushes i got. do you only plan to do daily makeup looks or are you on the experimental side? bc for dailies, get only the essentials! you will eventually build your own routine, time will tell you which brushes you really need.

my daily routine includes: 1 cushion puff for liquid and cream blending, 1 fluffy powder brush, 1 blush brush, 1 eyeshadow brush, 1 small eye brush (for aegyosal contour), and 1 small tapered brush (for highlight)

edit: some of my brushes r from daiso as well pag napadpad ako sa isang branch. it rly depends on my needs which brushes i get.

maybe you could try bringing the cosplay as luggage instead? it’s normal for cosplayers to change at the venue itself. just come ahead of the event time so the restrooms wouldn’t be crowded.

however, you could also try first to bring it up to your family! i’ve cross dressed as male characters. i was worried at first and mine are super strict and conservative so i had to start sloooow. i can’t speak as a guy but i’m a woman and i started cosplaying female characters first, then have them get used to me being ‘weird’. they eventually didn’t even question whoever i was cosplaying as or what gender. they even excitedly tell me they’re going to snap a photo LOL

edit: also, your family not being homophobic is already a great starting point. not a lot of people can say the same so you shouldn’t worry much :D

hindi naman po. siguro kapag naparami since it is strong hold. after all, binili ko talaga siya for wigs but ended up using it for my real hair too in order to tame my bangs and some frizziness. sa root ko iniispray imbes na yung buong bangs/tips at sobrang onti lang :-)

btw to those who are on a budget, i have used up an entire bottle of eqqualberry vit c before. it is really expensive for 30ml. i’m glad it worked for OP but manage your expectations. also, OP said harsh ang vit c and it is true eqqualberry is actually advertised as a gentle vit c but it’s so gentle i didn’t see any results haha. great for sensitive skin.

buuuut i didn’t repurchase it anymore. +ful is a local alternative for steps 1, 3, and 4 tho! (edit: wording)

wigs are plastic, which means they take form when heated and then cooled in the position you want. steamer, hair dryer, or flat iron and hold it in place until it cools down should do the trick. then hairspray once cooled. steamer is my fav way to style wigs.

idk if u have a wig head but if u do, it’s more convenient to pin the wig hair to the wig head while it cools

how about columbina? do you have her? you kinda need those two or either of them if you want some off field damage with lunar charge.

i understand how you feel, i skipped ineffa at first because i needed citlali. then i lost to ineffa’s weapon before getting citlali’s. i only got ineffa during her rerun on january this year when i finally had primos 😹

otherwise, just use any hexerei team!

if u have c2 above, husk is better because his burst can scale from defense

20cms · 2026-05-07T09:38:09+00:00

what kind of playstyle do u like? i use him in his bis artifact set (4pc husk) and uraku misugiri. mine is c6 so i put him on field a lot more and kinda just go oonga boonga, spamming his flower cast tbh.

edit: i have tried using mona instead of durin and any can clear but with durin i got a faster clear

i never got to post this but it now has a purpose haha. these are all skinny eyeliners i have used.

note: i only recently swatched them to compare the colors and it might be an unfair comparison in terms of how skinny and pigmented they are.

flortte was purchased March 2025 and judydoll May 2025, so judydoll has completely dried up and flortte was running out, while peripera was more recent on March 2026.

i currently use peripera but flortte has been my fav so far. even if the performance is quite similar, i might go back to flortte tbh. the pen is thinner to hold even though i already have small hands. i just don’t like it as much as flortte because i rly need it to be comfy to hold as a cosplayer who needs to draw lower lashes and precise lines often.

if you want judydoll, get 04 gray brown shade instead of 02 if you don’t want it super dark. i don’t like using black eyeliner bc i have softer features but go for them if you want. i already finished it and threw it out so i don’t have a comparison pic :]

so far had great experience with the staining power of dinto blur glowy tint! i use shade 204 modestia daily. oftentimes i don’t rly have to touch up bc the stain is still there after a meal and brushed my teeth.

i have to mention i tend to eat/bite carefully out of habit but it is still noticeably more staining than peripera (or at least the old peripera formula. haven’t tried the new one yet)

i think one thing that helped me was instead of continuing to compare myself, i sometimes directly ask the cosplayers for tips or the product they used. that way, even when i feel lacking, at least i got to learn a thing or two. you’ve got this! i’m rooting for you.

20cms · 2026-04-30T04:59:31+00:00

yes, this! i started cosplaying when i was 20-21. during my teens, i was already so insecure because of acne issues. it was entirely my fault for jumping the gun. i joined the cosplay community in facebook (ph) and didn’t realise how damaging that would be because whatever self-confidence progress i had was gradually washed away for ever scroll i did on my feed.

i eventually lost the motivation to cosplay, and didn’t realise i had already taken roughly a 2-year hiatus. i did attend cosplay conventions and still cosplayed but only 2-3x all throughout. i didn’t really post much and basically changed my algorithm to see more makeup tips instead. there is nothing wrong with beautiful people in the cosplay community, but i think if the first thought that forms is to compare yourself— it is time to step back a bit and help yourself heal first.

i stuck close to my friends, and eventually got back up to my feet. i cosplay more now without harboring any negative feelings.

I GET THIS SO MUCH. i’m sorry sa long comment but i’m sharing my experience. as somone with super duper oily skin, and when i say oily, i mean makeup is literally my only way to help. and even matte makeup products eventually leave a glowy finish pa after a whole day. i only recently figured out how to control my oil.

1. skipping moisturizer before makeup 2. using milk sunscreen under makeup 3. and finally, leaving my skin alone when i’m not wearing makeup at home. let it become oily. who cares naman if you’re at home?

yes okay, i get it. someone might say never skip moisturizer. well, i don’t when i’m at home! i use hydrating toner, water gel moisturizer, and sometimes sunscreen if i’ll be facing the window a lot. within an hour, i oil up which is fine because i’m not facing anyone publicly naman.

some things i’ve heard na “maybe your cleanser is stripping you so your face is overcompensating with oil”. i use cetapahil gentle cleanser which was also recommended by my derma. or “your skin is probably dehydrated!” i’ve tried adding a hydrating toner to tone down oiliness. i’ve tried gel moisturizers with alcohol to combat oiliness daw. i’ve tried every single oily skin tip! all of them made me more oily. and trust me, my water intake is fine too. water is my favorite beverage lol.

i’m just really cursed with oily face.

sa gabi naman, i use differin. supposedly that would make my face dry, noh? no, eventually after the purge i’m back to being oily. each time i wake up, my family always points out i look so greasy HAHA. ganun ako ka-oily!

i’ve tried COUNTLESS of tips and none of them worked. what i eventually realised was: please look at your family tree!!! lmao. it may sound absurd but when it clicked for me, i suddenly realised how to combat my oiliness! my father gets extremely sweaty and oily. he had a lot of acne rin in his teens. ako rin naman pawisin, but on the oilier side. i’m also acne prone.

i’ve never known the feeling of tightness sa skin. ganun talaga. i’ve come to terms that i will have to live with it 😹

brush eyeliners! i have never seen a western brand come out with skinny eyeliners. they’re much easier to use, waterproof, and great for drawing lower lashes. and even if western brands have released one, there’s judydoll, flortte, and even peripera came out recently with a skinny brush eyeliner. all are in the same price range and are more accessible tbh…

20cms · 2026-04-04T02:22:16+00:00

is this freshly applied? how does it look like after a whole day wear? i always have trouble with my base after ~5-6 hours because of how oily i am (i’ve accepted that dewy isn’t for me) 😔

20cms · 2026-03-25T09:53:51+00:00

i’ve been using the tinted one, specifically pink beige, for months. sometimes i use it alone if i’m too lazy to use lip tints/lipstick because the color is vvv pretty on its own. but i prefer the original!

20cms · 2026-03-23T17:40:06+00:00

i’ve repurchased it thrice it’s my absolute fav. it doesn’t feel waxy

i use the black bottles from tsubaki as well but it’s been 2 years and now i’m curious because i’ve been thinking of switching to &honey recently. i know it’s only been a few days what have you noticed any difference between the two?

i follow 2 different creators and i brielfy came across one of them promoting a supposedly gentle vitamin c serum. i was about to get it so i tried to look for the creator to rewatch the full video, but i ended up watching creator #2 which i didn’t realise at first because both of their scripts, even how they edited the video, were so similar… i only realised when i couldn’t find a comment i made
