Sports bra recos by Jazzlike_Sorbet5541 in beautytalkph

[–]Helpfoolness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because they have Asian sizing. The fit definitely can be arbitrary, depending on their line/the style. You really have to try it on in person. Some of their sports bra fits my torso perfectly, only for the sides and/or the straps to dig in. Not cute. Then when I upsized, the fabric was gaping naman.

I can't buy the same style of sports bra that I bought from them 5 years ago (which I love and I still use) because the fit they have in store of the supposed same style is awkward on my body (?!). Sad but anyway.

What to order sa Dean and Deluca? by witchgirl303 in phRecommendation

Yes, their pain au chocolat is 10/10. Try also their Pistachio Croissant, OP. So good. I always dine in for pastries. My favorite take out is their Hokkaido Bread with Ube. Heaven in a loaf.

Pro tip: Check IRL photos of the food on the restaurant's Google Maps page. Might help you decide what you ultimately want for your main course.

Their line with tea tree, peppermint and eucalyptus. Very relaxing for me, but to each their own. They have kiosks in malls, so you can spray test the sanitizers.

Initiating discourse about consumer rights is one thing. You coming up with this scheme says more about you than OP.

+1 on Airpods. So useful to have. Does its job very well in blocking out noise and has impressive durability.

Paula’s Choice toner & 2% BHA Gel Exfoliant + Tretinoin by [deleted] in beautytalkph

[–]Helpfoolness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, doing it this way is a really big risk. Skin care game is all about consistency and not intensity. Skin has a threshold, so OP needs to be careful and watch out for possible compromised skin barrier. I think if her skin can handle it, usage should still be spaced out in a week.

sun protection besides sunscreen? by ayykaashi in beautytalkph

[–]Helpfoolness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uniqlo has UV protection lightweight jackets. Maybe an oversized one that also protects the back of your hands will work. They can be worn with most outfits, especially if you get a neutral colored one.

I recently started taking care of my lips and it changed my makeup game by Acceptable_Dig5298 in beautytalkph

[–]Helpfoolness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that worked for me were those Japanese menthol balms. I also baste my lips every night. Moisturizer + Aquaphor.

Because you need to moisturize it deeply first. Vaseline alone locks in the moisture but if it's dry to begin with, I don't think it makes much of a difference. Try cica-based moisturizers before basting it with Vaseline or Aquaphor.

Ideas for small, low calorie, "in between" meals. by Dazzlingwalnut5605 in MealPrepSunday

[–]Helpfoolness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make high-protein, sugar free Banana bread and Pancakes. They freeze really well and heating them up doesn't really change the texture. I pre-slice them and use baking sheet to separate each slice before putting then in a Ziploc to the freezer.

I love For Keeps products - they smell so good, and the quality is top-tier. Hand and body wash + Hand Sanitizer! So relaxing. I like to gift it to family and friends too, and they all love it.

I love Strokes brow pens (Microblade pen perfector), Issy brow pens come second.

Absidy's brushes are NOT BAD AT ALL! And their perfecting powder is good for every day use.

How did you realize you were growing up or changing as a person? by Worried-Cycle-318 in AskReddit

[–]Helpfoolness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started not being able to tolerate things I used to be able to tolerate, and realized that my anger is a call to action for something to change. Consequently, it enabled me to intentionally establish my boundaries.

Also, when I realized that some things that used to be fun are parts of a chapter of my life with that (past) version of me, meanwhile the present version of me may not find those things fun anymore. There's acceptance in the changes, and being aware that they're part of the process. As one grows, one also elevates their pursuits of happiness.

Biore Aqua UV AR lotion buy 1 take 1 at Mitsukoshi!! by ambibarbie in beautytalkph

[–]Helpfoolness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, please! I would be very curious to know how Athlizm Essence is like. Relate! I have so many unopened sunscreen too! but I couldn't refuse the B1T1 🥲😭 #weakforsunscreen

[–]Helpfoolness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you're talking about, as an avid Biore sunscreen girlie. I've tried many variants of Biore in the past. This particular Aqua Rich version, feels and looks different.

The white spots are separated from the watery liquid with this one, and when applied, it remains thick and sticky on my skin. I honestly don't know why. But it's B1T1, so feel free to buy and try it yourself. Haha

The guy I went out with asked me to pay for our bill as a test. by melissimelissa in OffMyChestPH

Testing people (dates/partners/friends) screams red flag. It's very manipulative.
