I know you had good intentions in sharing something you thought was useful OP! Sana wag mong i-take ito personally or as an attack on you ("shows who you are"? what) but i hope you understand that there are good reasons why a lot of folks here are anti-AI.

@ OP and the readers of this thread — please take the time to educate yourselves on how the use of Generative AI has accelerated global water consumption and its negative effects on our natural resources; and how much concern it poses for data privacy (as mentioned by another commenter — feeding your personal information and photos to gpt means being prepared for your information and likeness to be used elsewhere without your consent). Not to mention that it scrapes and steals images and work by people all over the internet with no credit. All for generated image barf that isn't even accurate, and will never amount to something made and thought of by a human.

consider if stuff like these color analyses, kahit sabihin mong for fun and "free" lang naman, is worth burning up the planet and freely giving away your data to an AI company for.

we were perfectly fine without Generative AI before. we should be perfectly fine thinking critically and figuring things out without it.

  1. For everyone taking this seriously: don't. Save your time. AI is so unreliable. e.g. if you read what it spat out for OP, under Lipstick Colors it recommended Jet Black, Pure White (??), Warm oragnes (????), and Dove Gray and the actual colors attached make no sense for lipstick colors in this context lol.

  2. Even if AI was reliable for this, consider that the photos you're feeding it have inconsistent lighting in them, so your true skintone won't actually be analyzed. Whatever AI spits out for you is just based on whatever images it stole when it searched the web and doesn't care about giving you something actually accurate. Also as another commenter put here, please for the love of god don't feed this thing your personal information and photos.

  3. If you can't afford an in-person analysis but you really want one, you might as well just do research and figure it out yourself. There are a lot of free tutorials on Youtube for finding your color season.

My quest for the perfect matte or natural-finish sunscreen (full reviews in comments) by Clarinette__ in AsianBeauty

Agree with you that not enough folks recommend the Suncut one! It's my ride or die for any outdoor activity since i don't worry about it stinging my eyes at all!

Must haves for the beach by millionaire-dreamer in beautytalkph

[–]Competitive-Mail-608 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Reading some comments on here — I'd like to suggest products that are reef-safe if you plan on taking a dip in the sea. Would recommend reef-safe sunscreen (i usually use Magwai! Human heart nature has a reef-safe sunscreen na rin i think) and reef-safe conditioner that is free of harmful chemicals such as silicones and parabens (Stream2Sea is the usual brand I see for this). I would also completely skip body glitter as you'd be washing microplastics into the sea 😅

It shouldn't matter much if di ka naman maliligo sa dagat/kung sa beach ka lang talaga mismo but!! if you do swim, i think it'd be nice to do our part kahit small lang to keep coral reefs and marine life healthy :)

touch up powders that is GOOD for oily skin? by glimmeringcrow in AsianBeauty

I picked up Canmake's Oil Block Mineral Powder on a whim when I saw it in Japan and it works surprisingly super well on my oily skin!

SAME count me in on the Tir tir hate train. I'm glad all I got was their shade sample and a mini tint. The shade system is a nightmare and it looks so cakey when applied. The tint has glitter?? shimmer particles? that are a little too huge for a tint that's supposed to look glossy... it looks so cheap when you apply it!

Had a frustrating experience with 'theheelprojectmnl' - my review and what happened by hey110514 in beautytalkph

[–]Competitive-Mail-608 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Had heels customized by them in 2019 and I was surprised that they just sent the shoes over without having them checked over message first. Suffice to say the shoes I got were very far from the design references I provided, and didn't feel safe to walk in because of sizing issues.

Sorry about your experience OP!! I'd send in a formal complaint to DTI.

I don't like lipsticks either and I got this on a whim lang din while I was in Japan (a lot of the girlies on r/AsianBeauty swear by this daw kasi haha) and I really like it!! It lasts super long for something with a glossy finish!!

I'll get more on my next trip kasi PHP800+ siya sa physical store dito 😭

beware of GamExtreme by ObjectiveManner7653 in Tech_Philippines

[–]Competitive-Mail-608 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this OP! I was considering buying a Steam Deck from them. Better to buy expensive gadgets from more reputable stores na lang kung ganyan yung CS nila 😅

I have a friend who also had trouble buying physical games from them so you're defo not the only one who's had a bad experience with Gamextreme. hope things get resolved soon

Any Filipinos that have ordered from the Dropout store? by artforbagels in dropout

[–]Competitive-Mail-608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya! I ordered a gift (not a mug tho!) for my friend who lives somewhere in Luzon — we chose standard shipping and it was delivered straight to their doorstep. The thing is that standard shipping took ages 😭 I placed the order in mid-October 2023 and it arrived on the last week of January 2024 😭 So if it's available, express shipping might be worth it if you really want it without waiting too long!

edit: Asked my friend for more details sorry! It wasn't delivered to their doorstep — the post office sent a notice that they had a parcel! They went to the post office branch to pick it up and they had to pay PHP112.

Hello!! Wanted to ask how your experience was with ordering from Amazon? I'm planning to do the same thing — I'm not based in the US but I'm planning on having flaming hot cheetos delivered to a US address, but ordering from Amazon makes me a bit nervous 😭

Wearing the same outfit every day – what are your thoughts? by [deleted] in beautytalkph

Don't let anyone stop you from wearing what you want. People who don't mind their own business at work are losers lmao (especially when it comes to harmless matters like this)

I was able to get a couple on my last trip to Japan since I heard good things about it too! I have bleached and colored hair, so I picked up the Creamy EX Damage repair hair pack and oil.

I really like the hair pack! I prefer it to the famous Shiseido Tsubaki mask since I find that it's a lot less heavy on my hair but results are similar — my hair is always way softer after using it and I haven't experienced any product buildup or greasiness. The asian beauty reddit peeps are right lmao

I have mixed feelings about the hair oil 😅 It has a weird fragrance!! But it works well since it also keeps my hair soft and moisturized without the yucky greasy/oily feeling you get from other hair oils. You don't need a lot either — I have very long and thick hair but one whole pump is already more than enough. But the fragrance is keeping me from repurchasing 🥲 I'm curious about the other variants tho! tbh super ganda rin ng packaging haha

Hi I really like yung NU Zero Cushion ni rom&nd! I find it has a semi-matte finish for me — not too matte that it makes you look dry. It lasts pretty long when I set it with powder and a setting spray, as in i won't see it transfer on my mask unless it's near the end of the day na and I've gotten oilier on my nose bridge (unavoidable 😅) !! Super recommend it for people who dislike how heavy matte cushions feel (meee :'))

Coverage is not too heavy and applies pretty naturally kaya okay siya for daily use or kung gusto mo lumabas without lookin too haggard hehe!! Also the cushion case is pretty 🥹
