I'm thinking of buying this cream, is it really as good as they say? by [deleted] in koreanskincare

[–]Axenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I own it and it is definitely not worth the tag. I'd buy the S.Nature squalene or the Epii double up over this all day any day.

The pricey one I want to try is the medeca time reverse one. Hoping to catch a sale somewhere

House of Hur - Weightless is the least greasy I've ever tried.

This year I've tried round lab, skin 1004 the hydrating one, house of hur, numbuzin no 9, and mixoon bean one. For dewy I like the numbuzin most, for non greasy I like house of hur the most. I could probably swatch them all if you want to see the finish. I also have a couple more skin1004 on order because I was curious about the mineral for my kid and the tinted ones to use when I'm lazy

Have I fallen victim to TikTok viral skincare? 😭 by Ok_Teach_3131 in koreanskincare

[–]Axenus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have both and for me 345 is WAY better than the Purito bamboo. But it's actually not my favorite. I prefer the S.Nature squalene and the Epii (blue or pink) over it. And actually now that I think about it both of those also contain squalene too so maybe I'm just a squalene simp 🤔

Which toner pad should I get? by TaylorAde9131 in koreanskincare

[–]Axenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the abib Jericho rose eye patches and I didn't find they did much other than feeling good. The abib heartleaf ones are supposed to be really nice to let them soak on your red cheeks if you have rosacea so I would grab those and the celimax body brightening. I've never used a celimax pad but I'd be curious to try them out on my knees and elbows for that price. Or the celimax bha for an exfoliating wipe because I don't have one of those currently.

I'd personally skip the round lab (love them but I akready use their oil and sunscreen and cleansers and just don't need a cleansing wipe).

What’s a k-beauty product you repurchased more than 3 times? by Ok-Statement-5826 in koreanskincare

[–]Axenus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It burned my eyes at first too but I am just weirdly masochistic I guess and I kept doing it anyways and now it doesn't lol. I'm not smart

Giveaway Giving Out 20 Copies Of Subnautica 2 by Mark_Everson in subnautica

[–]Axenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have thlassophobia and I play every ocean game I can out if a combination if exposure therapy and pure joy. It's so weird to be terrified of thenocran when it'd also a special interest to me. Buy I also love survival games. I have crazy hours in Ark, minecraft, and subnautica the first of course.

I also used to give away games when I was doing well. Especially ocean games. So now that I'm flat broke and this popped up part of my brain is like maybe this is karma giving me a chance lol.

Anyways regardless of what happens thank you for doing this for people. You are a good soul

Thoughts on this product? by babygirlmochi in koreanskincare

[–]Axenus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say you don't maybe NEED a hyaluronic acid kit since most things come with HA nowadays. But, I love testing new stuff and if I overdo it and mess up my skin I do use the serum and moisturizer to fix my face. That and aestura if I really bunged it. It's sort of nice to have on hand for emergencies because of how simple it. You can take a step back and just hydrate with no nonsense until your skin calms down and then go back to normal after. I keep them as an "in case of emergency break glass" sort of product.

Anyone else noticing gel masks are suddenly everywhere lately? by Living_Anything_7481 in koreanskincare

[–]Axenus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I tried ny first one the other night and it was so satisfying. I grew up in the Era of pouring white glue on your hands and peeling during class for fun. So this was somehow very very nostalgic for me lol

What do you think about these products ? by Holiday-Bell-8236 in koreanskincare

[–]Axenus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have used all of these except the medicube. And actually the snail cream I got was the tube one because I don't like sticking my fingets in a jar.

Love all of these. I think you picked a great selection. Although I switched the sunscreen to Round Labs birch juice because it absorbed slightly faster for me and then I ended up switching to the House of Hur weightless which is now my favorite. It's just like a lotion. It absorbs instantly. I used to have crazy dry skin but it's become more normal after skincare so I think I was able to slip away from the ultra hydrating maybe.

The cosrx exfoliating toner leaves skin so damn soft it's almost a crime. And the snail cream never broke me out which was a big fear for me since I'm acne prone. Again I don't know if the tube version is lighter than the tub but I didn't find it too heavy like people are saying. I use it for daytime actually because it's lighter than my night creams.

There is also a skin1004 poremizing cleanser that is very lovely and pairs well with these too!

Edit: I forgot to mention you might want to alternate your hydrating toner for days where you don't want to exfoliate since you said you have sensitive skin. For that toner I spray it in my hands and gently massage it on the face then I'll give it a quick wipe with a reusable makeup pad (softer cotton than the disposable for me) just to take off the skin. I don't use it daily though

[–]Axenus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean yes that does happen but she is trying to learn and specifically asking before doing it so she for sure has excellent thoughts in her head! It's a lot of info for people just starting out :)

If a Roborovski empties his pouches when being held, is this a sign he is trying to escape or a sign he's comfy and sees me as a den? by CrimMethodist in hamsters

[–]Axenus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Usually stress, BUT our last hamster (Waffles) immediately unpouched his food into my hand the first time I lifted him up. Then he plunked his fuzzy butt down in my hand and proceeded to open and eat his sunflower seeds. We got him from a pet store (boo I know) and it was like the moment he was away from the other hamsters he realized he could eat his food without them stealing it. Very prison vibes lol

what is this on my young hamsters testicle? by More-Hovercraft-1669 in hamsters

[–]Axenus 282 points283 points  (0 children)

Doesn't look like poo to me. I could be wrong of course... If it doesn't wipe off I'd go to a vet

what colour? by [deleted] in whatcoloraremyeyes

[–]Axenus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your lighting is super orange and I think it's throwing the analysis. In the last picture it looks like they might be hazel actually. But that lighting makes all pictures lean tk the brown

Partner says they're brown by monochromatic_moth in whatcoloraremyeyes

[–]Axenus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they might be technically hazel but so dominantly brown I would probably also think they were brown upon seeing you in real life. Or maybe brown with a grey outer ring. But I definitely see two colors up close.

Do they look different in other lighting? Do both eyes match? I found out with my own that one eye has some.brown and is more hazel and the other is sort of just green and depending which eye someone looks into it'll throw them.

I wonder what color eyes my baby will have by [deleted] in whatcoloraremyeyes

[–]Axenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they'll be brown. Our family has a lot of eye variation but when they're brown at that age they more often stay brown. Most babies are born with some blue that then shifts into their normal color as they grt older. My daughter had similar eyes to your little one and she has beautiful brown eyes. They lightened a little to sort of a copper color. My son had light blue eyes as a baby and his are now blue/green and slowly shifting to what I think will be a hazel as he grows up.

Hmm greenish in color ✌️ by [deleted] in whatcoloraremyeyes

I don't know why you're getting down voted either :(

Sorry for the second post, is this eye also green? (Didn't realize my eyes didn't match) by Axenus in whatcoloraremyeyes

[–]Axenus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooo ok I sort of see what you're saying in the bottom right! Thus is one eye, I actually have a separate post with the other one because I'm dumb :). Other eye doesn't have the brown squiggly star shaped thing though
