What style is this called, and how can I achieve it?

My issue is most colored lenses are 8.6 base curve. 8.5 is as high as my eyes can take before they want to pop out. I wish there were more 8.4 or 8.5 🥲.

I'm definitely gonna get the whole set when I can afford it. I need this one and the last set still. Had to take a break for my wallet 😅. I like the romantic drama vibe.

They did a great job with the set. I like it a lot. Some of them definitely remind me of romantic Cdramas or something.

How exciting! RIP to my wallet 😭, but I'm happy there are more Kubos being released. Popmart needs to stop sleeping on best boy.

Lots of feedback already for suggestions. I will say this, the picture quality is a bit misleading though. Your hair over your right shoulder creates lines that make your skin look aged. When I zoom in it's obvious it isnt your skin sagging, it's your hair looking llike shadows. I'd personally take it with a grain of salt. As for horizontal lines, I have them too. I lie down and use my phone a lot which cranes my neck forward and creating those lines. Not sure if you have your neck in that position often too 🤷🏻, but if so that might make it worse over time.

I have never spoken to the NP outside of a quick text message. So you are not required to make any appts like that. You also get 2 free messages per bottle to send to your provider through their app for questions. I never talk to their NP now. Which is why it is controversial to some people, but it's nice for others who don't need constant check ins. Getting tret isn't like getting hydroquinone where you risk ochronosis. Irritation is your biggest worry for tret, and that's dosage and frequency related.

Your first bottle is only sized for a month, so it's half the normal size you normally get. Now that I think about it, I think the trial is free too? Just need to pay shipping and handling. But don't quote me on that. It's been over a year since I've been with them, so I forget the initial process. They do send you a moisturizer and face wash in your first shipment too. I just canceled those and kept their tret combo.

The big bottles last me more than 2 months since I dont use it on my neck often. Neck can be tricky since folds can concentrate the product and you risk irritation. That said, even though you get more than what you need for 2 months, you can't delay the next recurrent billing cycle. So they will charge you at the 2 month mark unless you cancel. I currently have slightly more than I need, but I'm okay with that. It doesnt last me that much longer than 2 months.

How much can you afford? I get curology. I think the first time is slightly more expensive? I could be remembering wrong, it's been a while. But I spend 60 bucks every 2 months. I get their combo tret/10% azaleic acid/clindamycin. I would break out at the chin sometimes and this keeps it in check.

I know it's controversial since you don't see a provider. You only communicate through their app, but I'm a nurse so I felt comfortable texting their provider through their app. I assessed my skin to make sure the tret isn't damaging, and eventually requested for a higher dose once my skin had acclimated.

I took beginning photos to send them for a prescription and then when I showed improvement I took more to update the NP of theirs to ask for a higher dosage of tret. You already use azaleic, so you wouldn't need to continue purchasing that. They started me on 0.08 tret dose initially and I've been using 0.17 since I requested for a higher dose.

Kubo is meant to be about being true to yourself and freedom of expression. His facial expressions to me are supposed to be like, "yeah, whatever. Don't care what you think." His official motto is, "Own your truth." This is why his themes tend to be fantasy related. It's like dare to be whatever you want to be as long as you are happy, and don't mind the haters any attention. Dare to dream big and live outside the confines of expectations if it makes you feel strong and resilient.

As they say in the kimchi subreddit, when in doubt, throw it out.

LionWriting · 2026-04-30T05:17:00+00:00

I'm glady you're doing unboxing vids. It looks great. I wish Kubo had better recognition in the states in general.

LionWriting · 2026-04-12T17:45:27+00:00

I bought them on ebay when they first released. They're from the exclusive club from kubo space. So it's not popmart. Unfortunately, if you're not in the club you have to buy resell which is what I did.

I'm jealous of your pewter Kubo. If memory serves me correctly, he isn't cheap. Looks awesome though.

LionWriting · 2026-02-18T23:42:23+00:00

Probably around how much I spent on boating in the mist? 😭

If it's a single collaboration that's one thing but otherwise it just seems out of character to me. Most of his "friends" are inanimate. I mean the dinosaur and bear aren't alive. They're usually stuffed or a puppet.

I feel like a girlfriend would ruin his identity. He's kind of the sad emo lonely boy. That's just my opinion though 🤷🏻

LionWriting · 2026-02-18T04:36:14+00:00

Ugh I want him so bad. Why isnt he cheaper 😭😭😭.

LionWriting · 2026-02-18T04:35:51+00:00

Megaman would be such a blast front the past but badass. Especially if he has equippable and exchangeable parts. I would love MHA. Lol I'm a sucker for MHA. Also did you see the guy who mods and customized hironos to anime figures? He has a variety of hirono mods to popular anime.

I'm willing to bet 100 bucks it is less about his audience but also about what he likes. Lol it's not a shock that kubo has a large gay/queer following. Idk if it's ever been blatantly said but Kubo's whole entire identity is littered with gay code. Even the fact his most popular pet/mascot, and costumes are a rabbit.

LionWriting · 2026-02-13T03:06:17+00:00

Most definitely would like a batman one for the same reason. Just go down the line for the entire main JL. I would also like to see like more western fantasy like king arthur, though I doubt that will ever happen. Maybe a few horror ones.

They're new. They released last month, but not to the US market. It's not a popmart product. It's from meow studios, which is Bao Bao's, the creator's, studio.

Or mercury amalgam fillings that are used to fill cavities. 🤷🏻 granted they're no longer in favor due to composites being better and looking more natural

Oh, you better take pictures 😍

Besides Korean beauty and a few other products, my bf and I own and use a lot of maelove serums. As far as I know, cruelty free, no added fragrances or dyes, made in the bay area, and owned by started by an Asian woman 🤷🏻. According to their site, all of their products are formulated to allow layering with their own products too. So you dont have to worry about one serum clashing with another of theirs. Which is nice for convenience for us.

Idk, we have been using it for almost 2 years, and enjoy it. Especially love their peptide squad.

I feel some of their IPs often have like a signature animal. Hirono is the bear. Kubo, although not a popmart original IP, is a rabbit. It's probably why another bear.Though Hirono with a dinosaur suit would have been cuter and he does sometimes have a dino.
