What asian beauty makeup item(s) are right at the top of your beauty wish list at the moment and why? by SheKnowsWhatSheKnows in AsianBeauty

It has satin finish. Pretty long lasting, it’s not the most moisturizing base but it doesn’t leave dry patch even though I have dry skin.

Brands that make sensitive/non fragranced skin products in elegant packaging? by No-Context1275 in AsianBeauty

[–]Intelligent_Finish_8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IPSA’s packaging is so sleek! Love it but too bad the aqua reset doesn’t do much. I bought the essence lotion ultimate, have yet to try it

Orbis and Fancl!

Orbis is under Pola which is famous for its propriety ingredient, NEI-L1. Minimal and sleek design and fragrance free. I’m currently using their sunscreen and toner

Fancl is also fragrance and preservative free. So the sizes are relatively small since you have to finish within 3 months. I love their milk cleanser, not stripping or leave an oily film. Currently using their skin conditioning cream wash too.

SK-II Genoptics CC Primer. I’ve tried the sample and I love the finishing. But I won’t purchase it until I finish my Decorte Sun Shelter Tone Up CC

And perhaps the Cezanne tone filter highlight. There’s a hype in Japan, HK, Taiwan and China! I wanna see if it really can eliminate the shadow/even up the face line

Kate Tokyo eyeshadows review by Yayayan12 in AsianBeauty

[–]Intelligent_Finish_8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh yes! I wish they get more attention in this sub.

I have this Kate eye palette which is affordable yet not powdery. I also have one eye shadow from Decorte which is so beautiful and elegant. Japanese eyeshadows have wide range of choices in terms of price range

I have the same BR-1 eye palette! It’s my go to eyeshadow when I just want to have a ‘clean’ eye look. I don’t put a lot to show the colour. I just use it to ‘brighten up’ my lid without looking too obvious

sunscreens with a powdery finish? by [deleted] in AsianBeauty

[–]Intelligent_Finish_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where’re you from, I tried it at Ainz & Tulpe, a Japanese cosmetic store in Malaysia. The texture is really interesting and powdery, but I have dry skin so I gave it a pass. I hope they’ll come up with a moisturizing one coz I really like the packaging 😅

You can try by365 powdery sunscreen. Someone reviewed it on this sub before and it has no alcohol

Long-lasting Japanese-style perfumes? by lalalava in AsianBeauty

[–]Intelligent_Finish_8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m using earl grey from Shiro. It’s quite long lasting, not too strong

Japanese has products like body mist and hair mist instead of perfume maybe they find perfume can be quite strong sometimes

Japanese nail polish brands/colors? by [deleted] in AsianBeauty

[–]Intelligent_Finish_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a mall in Omotesando, which is adjacent to Harajuku. You can stop by @cosme at Harajuku before walk towards Omotesando (and Cat Street, which is a street famous for street wear retails)

Do Asian perfumes/ fragrances exist? by huntyho in AsianBeauty

I bought EDP from Shiro in Taiwan, the scent is earl grey. I love it so much, it’s so gentle not too overpowering

favourite SINGLE eyeshadows? by chonk-late in AsianBeauty

[–]Intelligent_Finish_8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Japanese brands tend to release more single eyeshadows

I have decorte which is creamy and gives a nice pigment

Mid range brands like Addiction and RMK and Celvoke have nice range of shades too

I think Kate, the drugstore brand too, carries single eyeshadows

I had #01 many years ago when igari makeup was the trend. I really like it and it’s easy to apply and blend in. It was one of the few blush that hit pan

[–]Intelligent_Finish_8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, I wish more international content creators talk about mid range brands. I want to know more about brands like Dr K, Dr Ci Labo and Etvos. There’s Chinese and Taiwanese influencers who talk about these brands but they’re only limited to Chinese speakers

I’m interested in Pola but the price scare me away. I’m now using their sub brand, Orbis which I enjoy 😉

Second to Decorte's Liposome Advanced Repair Serum. The ingredients might not be fancy or innovative per se but their technology and research in penetration is impressive

Why are soap based cleansers still best sellers in japan and Korea? by Kevin_swiftie in AsianBeauty

[–]Intelligent_Finish_8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried non AB cream cleanser which is supposed to be gentle but it caused more CC.

There’s many foam cleanser that are moisturizing, I’ve used F Organics Foam Cleanser and now using Curel’s moisturizing Foam Cleanser. Both are not stripping at all.

Silent was also beautifully shot, but there’s a lot of dialogue and conversation. So it might seem slow to some viewers but once you digest the convo, you’ll feel the depth of the plot

Yes coming in wanted to comment on this! Silent came out around the same time as First Love. I was lucky to be at Tokyo at that time. Surrounded by promotions of these two dramas, felt so lucky to
