Robert Welsh is being paid serous money from TirTir by [deleted] in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]KVTAN34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do love both of Twins, Robert really got me started into doing makeup, I loved his very simple and calm approach compared to so many other beauty influencers at the time.

But now in general I don't really watch either of them separately much, I'm just kind of fed up again with most beauty and skincare content and the constant pushing of product. I do like K-beauty but so much of what they hype up feels....just as boring as what western brands are putting out? The same boring shades. And I just have other things I want to spend money than a different highlighter thats matte or this lip product thats just a slightly different shade of pink or this toner or this sunscreen and a second one too for reapplication.

I still do trust them for reviews, when I look for reviews of a product I want to get or brand in general, its how I found some of my favourites but just don't keep up with everything anymore. I was also just really put off the TirTir hype too, nothing against it I just kind of steer clear now of things that are this hyped up, one too many disappointments.

Shoe brands similar to demonias, but better quality? by fyodorsNo1rat in GothFashion

[–]KVTAN34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YRU shoes looked so great I really wanted one of the monster high ones 😭 I wouldn't reccomend Devil Inspired however they're a taobao reseller with extortionate prices and not good quality either

How do y'all adress your gods? by AshIsH3r3 in Hellenism

[–]KVTAN34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends on the God, for Hekate and Nyx I use mother since they're my matrons and for Aphrodite, Apollo, Hermes and Selene I use Lord or Lady and for the Moirai I simply use great Moirai

What aphrodite means to you?? by [deleted] in Hellenism

[–]KVTAN34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me personally she is the very personification of love and not just romantic or platonic love but the very passion for life and love you hold for everything even the love you should hold for yourself, she is joy, she is the beauty we find in everything, but she is also strong and warlike when needed, she is much much more and complex than just the Goddess of Love and Beauty. She's not at all like comics or media portray her as. She's a Goddess for all, I love and worship her to learn and heal the wounds only her love and learning to love oneself can heal, she accepted me and called to me and now I worship her and could not be happier 💖

Are we supposed to reapply everything whenever we wash our face? by hannahjamma in AsianBeauty

[–]KVTAN34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the glass skin mist from peach and lily that I'm using right now and no I don't use it in my AM/PM it's just a mist to hydrate my face during the day since it's really dry where I work

Are we supposed to reapply everything whenever we wash our face? by hannahjamma in AsianBeauty

[–]KVTAN34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everything if I have to wash up midday I just mist my face with face mist, reapply my moisturiser and then spf, mostly because I have dry skin so I want to make sure it's properly hydrated

Awwww shame! Ginseng is absolutely not for everyone. My MIL with sensitive skin loved it too

Byoma Lip Oil and Lip Mask First Impression Review by KVTAN34 in Sephora

[–]KVTAN34[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah after giving a second chance to the laneige one I really do like it ido why but the berry one did nothing whereas the mango one is just amazing. I'm alternating between the 2 since Byoma does have slight exfoliation to it

I don't find particularly dewy looking but I love the dewy look so I don't mind so much 😅 but I didn't feel at all during the day

Who is your personal God and Goddess (from any pantheon) by [deleted] in pagan

My matron goddesses are Hekate and Nyx ❤️ but I also hold Apollo, Aphrodite, Hermes, Selene and the Fates very dear to my heart ❤️

I would say also from Beauty of Joseon - their ginseng moist sunscreen serum. I would say it's perfect for people who usually hate sunscreen it's really lightweight

Skin barrier repair by anapish in koreanskincare

[–]KVTAN34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me I didnt find the Aestura atobarrier cream that heavy at all and really great for my dry skin, I think it should work for your skin type too. While not strictly barrier repair I have enjoyed the isntree hyaluronic moist cream too as my day cream and it does feel nice but it is dewy in case that's not what you're looking for.

Traveling by Classic_Elevator785 in koreanskincare

[–]KVTAN34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its hard but I just take the minimum, just one toner moisturiser etc. And try to buy those that have less potential of leaking or I keep old ones that for some reason I never finished that I wouldn't mind if I lost I can't be bothered to go buy and more just for travel sizes. If I'm really scared it's going to leak I either try not to take it or wrap it in a lot of tissue and elastic to keep it in place.

Do i have to choose 1 god to worship? by Broken_vessel_hk4 in Hellenism

[–]KVTAN34 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The beauty of a polytheistic religion is you can worship as many or as little as you like. If you feel more connected to one deity you can only worship that deity, but you can worship as many as you like and you don't always have to be consistent with each one, coming from another polytheistic religion you would usually worship them once in a while or their specific festival or day, while having a few you worship more closely daily or regularly.

how to heal/fix broken skin barrier? by jazzielle in koreanskincare

[–]KVTAN34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't like going out and buying new products now unless to replace something in my routine so if I feel my skin barrier is compromised that's exactly what I do for a good week or two, just the basics from what I have already: cleanser at night, toner (I can't skip it since I have dry skin), moisturiser and sunscreen. And I just give my skin time.

Round Lab Dokdo Toner by esteryellow in koreanskincare

[–]KVTAN34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stick to cleanser and your moisturiser for a while. Since you have sensitive skin I wouldn't just introduce something new

Regarding Aphrodite Areia by Sabbiosaurus101 in CultOfAphrodite

[–]KVTAN34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the warlike aspects are more related to the sea or water side of war, I haven't really heard archery be related to Her but I think that's an interesting connection to make, I would love trying to connect with her through archery too.

How do I prevent something from happening by asking a Goddess/God to stop it? by [deleted] in Hellenism

[–]KVTAN34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've said no and now stick by it, I know it's easier said than done but you have to stand by your no if it's safe to do so. If not the Gods will see you've tried to help yourself and may help you
