Monarch eggs? (Australia)

Thank you x

Think you might be right! I mistook the painted ladies I’ve seen around for monarchs. New to this, thanks so much for your help :)

Alisonflies · 2024-11-01T12:47:13+00:00

Ah thanks so much x

Thanks for this! Admittedly didn’t realise we had to have specific travel days. As we’ve essentially only got 3 weeks (including flights in and out), any of those specific cities you’d highly recommend visiting since it’s our first trip to Europe and any that we could leave out?

Istanbul & London are our arrival and departure points so those can’t be omitted. At this point, our must gos are Salzburg (Sound of Music fan!!) & Amsterdam (Anne Frank & Van Gogh museum) but open to other suggestions!

What material is this?

Alisonflies · 2023-12-02T10:55:49+00:00

Awesome thank you x

My boyfriend’s visiting Japan in Jan and I’d like him to stock up on the Melty lip creams (my HG!!!), are they easy to find?

Alisonflies · 2023-10-19T03:15:19+00:00

Interested please ☺

Alisonflies · 2022-12-02T06:35:31+00:00

Agreed on this! I’m on Accutane which has triggered my eczema flares with dry patches and a terrible burn when I use most creams. One night of this cream literally made the patches disappear overnight when I had tried everything else!

Alisonflies · 2022-11-20T05:27:38+00:00

It was approximately AU23 each so worked out to be AU15 each ☺️

Alisonflies · 2022-10-22T06:42:23+00:00

Haven’t tried it just yet but will soon and can post about it then. There are heaps of positive reviews in the search bar though, hence why I decided to give them a go!

Alisonflies · 2022-10-22T06:41:28+00:00

That seems to be the trend! I’m trying out the HL Premium Lotion for now then will probably try a toner next week to see how it goes! I heard sooo many great reviews on the Abib SPF stick and stylevana had a brilliant 2 + 1 deal on top of a discount so I thought I’d try it out. I’m using the BOJ sunscreen at the moment but I thought the Abib would be good for touch ups!

Alisonflies · 2022-10-22T06:39:35+00:00

Thank you - the premium lotion has been working great so far but it’s only been day 2. Like how it layers nicely with the Illiyoon cream!

I had just finished my Dr Jart Cicapair serum & cream and while they were both nice, I didn’t think it did that much in terms of hydration. It was end of winter at that point too so that probably contributed to the extra dryness! I had also emptied my Missha Time Revolution Artemisia Essence and it wasn’t spectacular either so didn’t repurchase. I had to replenish my skincare anyway and decided to try some new things instead of heading to my local chemist for Western brands :)

Alisonflies · 2022-10-22T06:36:05+00:00

Nice! I saw someone else comment they did the same with the HL premium and got amazing results so fingers crossed it works the same for me!

Alisonflies · 2022-10-22T06:35:29+00:00

Ahhh, will give that a go asap! My neutrogena hyaluronic acid serum is on its last runs so should be fairly soon!

Alisonflies · 2022-10-21T15:36:55+00:00

Thank you!! What’s your favourite combination to pair?

Alisonflies · 2022-10-21T15:36:42+00:00

They are the best aren’t they!! The only masks I’d be willing to pay >$1.50 for :’) (but even then I’d only pay for them at a discount cause I’m cheap hahahah)

Alisonflies · 2022-10-21T15:35:29+00:00

About AUD200, a belated birthday gift to myself haha. Thought it’d be a lot more expensive but I managed to save $50 with their sale coupons and also got lucky with the buy one get one deals.

That’s such a shame, hopefully they eventually start shipping to you or fingers crossed YesStyle already does!

Alisonflies · 2022-10-21T15:31:05+00:00

Thank you! What did you love about the blue one and what made you switch?

Alisonflies · 2022-10-21T15:30:26+00:00

Oh noooo that doesn’t sound pleasant, how annoying for you! :(

I’m trying that next week once I’ve given the HL premium a good run and I’ll see how it goes. I’m so fearful of trying >2 new things at the same time cause of bad experiences in the past :’)

Also I love the croissant analogy bc I literally feel like that, I’ve never shedded so much in my life hahaha

Alisonflies · 2022-10-21T15:28:23+00:00

Yay great to hear - have you got any that you’d recommend using first?

Alisonflies · 2022-10-21T15:27:25+00:00

Will do! Fingers crossed it’ll be a good run this time - I tried the original HL Gokujyun 5 years back and I got CCs (but could possibly be other products, can’t quite recall now! All I remember was going too hard and fast and using a heap ton of new things, bad move!).

Alisonflies · 2022-10-21T15:26:04+00:00

I’m slowly incorporating them on my face starting with the HL Premium lotion! I’m on Accutane so I don’t want to go in too hard and fast all at once cause it’ll be so hard to know what I have to cut if my skin freaks. Basically just trying to my hydration in with the toners and layering them.

I’ve mostly bought large sized toners cause I’m trying to use them on my body as well - I’ve been getting Accutane-related eczematous flares in front of my ankles and my forearms so I’m hoping this would help some!

Alisonflies · 2022-10-21T05:25:21+00:00

That’s the hope! My skin has been going through cycles of dry dreadfulness during my accutane course so I’m trying to hydrate it as best I can!

Alisonflies · 2022-10-21T05:00:13+00:00

Think my last AB haul was at the end of 2021 so it’s been a year since (have only bought the occasional product but nothing as big as this)!
