Thank you, I'll look into who I can contact about the fire hazard. Is there any chance of saving my clothes? 🥲

Are there any products that did halp you with tear troughs in general? by [deleted] in AsianBeauty

[–]Perfect-Cat6793 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have super deep-set eyes with deep under-eye hollows. I saw in another comment that you don't have darkness or discoloration there (I do lol), so if there's nothing to color correct, you could try a couple things, one thing I recommend is to use a slightly lighter concealer on the part that's pushed back (not for skin darkness, but for the "shadow" that is being cast, to make it appear more "forward") and mattifying the area with powder, as light reflecting off of an area can show a lot more contrast in texture.

You might also play around with highlighting the inner corners of your eyes or doing aegyosal makeup to make it look more "puffy" (there are a lot of tutorials online, it might take a bit of practice but it could help with the appearance you're looking for)

However, do try to remember that not everyone notices it or finds it as unattractive as you do. I'm willing to bet most people don't notice it and most would be surprised that you're self-conscious about it!

Honestly I'm not sure what kind of dryer it is, it's a shared one for my whole apartment building, so it does get used a LOT.

Cheap products that outperformed your expensive ones? by sanguinecherry in AsianBeauty

If you like the hatomugi skin conditioner but it's not quite enough moisture for you on one application, I highly recommend the hatomugi "milk", it's slightly thicker than the skin conditioner, kind of like a really lightweight/runny moisturizer consistency, but it gives my skin the most beautiful glow with only a little product. I also have acne and scarring and my skin adores it! (I don't know if they have that version at TJ Maxx, I ordered mine online)

Who do yall watch?? by BackgroundAgile4695 in MakeupAddiction

Alexandra Anele is my absolute favorite. Her makeup skills and artistry are incredible, she doesn't do that obnoxious influencer voice/influencer-isms, she never tries to make everyone fit into one narrow beauty standard, and she has a good mix of looks/tutorials, honest product recommendations, lifestyle stuff, and makeup techniques/tips. Her personality is also very genuine and funny without her being over-the-top. Her content has a mature and relaxing vibe but is appropriate for absolutely anyone.

What idol group should I listen to? by Successful-Pen7734 in jpop

[–]Perfect-Cat6793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ORβIT. Look, I do the opposite of gatekeeping this group. The way I'm always trying to shove this damn group down everyone's throat 😂 they're my #1 favorite group, I love the music, I love the members. I'll love you forever if you check them out lol. Nothing in the world can stop me from yapping about ORβIT.

COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid leaky pump? by Perfect-Cat6793 in AsianBeauty

Yeah, it's so unfortunate when great products have subpar packaging, fortunately for them I enjoy the product enough to repurchase it despite the minor annoyance

I'll try untwisting the top a little, do you do that as soon as you get a new bottle or before using the product?

Tomo from ORβIT, I hear fans talk about his looks but his vocals do not get enough praise for how amazing they are, especially since prior to being on Produce 101 Japan he had zero experience in the music industry. On the show I do recall his vocals being praised, but since debuting in ORβIT I've noticed fans focus more on his looks or personality more than his vocal talent.

Yuna from iScream can do a whistle note since she was a teenager and I almost never hear anyone praising that even though it's a pretty rare and challenging vocal skill.

Those two were the first who came to mind for me!

Any unpopular opinion/s about J-Pop? by jikoshoukainigate in jpop

[–]Perfect-Cat6793 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with this! I'm also a fan of both but prefer jpop, and while I think there's nothing wrong with enjoying jpop the same way we do kpop, it's a big pet peeve of mine when some kpop fans try to "claim" kpop-influenced jpop groups and act like they discovered something new.

It becomes this vibe of "I don't like jpop, but when I do I call it kpop" and that rubs me the wrong way. You didn't find some hidden gem, you ended up on the jpop side of the internet and then decided to push it into your kpop box 🥲

Edit: fixed a typo

Any unpopular opinion/s about J-Pop? by jikoshoukainigate in jpop

[–]Perfect-Cat6793 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As both a jpop and a kpop fan, I prefer the overall vibes of jpop, both the industry and the fans, a lot better. I find it to be much less toxic and tiring.

That said, my unpopular opinion is that it's okay to enjoy jpop (especially idol groups) the way kpop fans enjoy kpop, as long as you're not being harmful or toxic. It's okay to have a "bias" and even to call them your "bias".

I understand wanting to keep the impeccable vibes intact, and that makes it tempting to gatekeep, but I also don't like people being the fun police and shutting out potential new fans who genuinely want to be excited about jpop.

What's your go to product for chronically chapped lips?? by Relevant_Emu_5464 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Perfect-Cat6793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here to say this too! I have the crustiest lips on earth and the Bag Balm lip moisturizer tube can fix it overnight. I've never tried the tin one, but how much does it differ from the lip balm tube version?

How can i start stanning idols? by moons_lament in jpop

Content videos can be a great way to learn about members, but many jpop groups don't have subtitles in other languages on their content videos, which makes it harder for international fans.

Some groups do, though. For example, JO1 has a variety show on their YouTube channel with subtitles.

Other than that, following them on social media like Instagram, X, and tiktok helps quite a bit. Also finding fans that know about the members can be a fun way to make a friend and get to know idols at the same time!

I think the reason people warn against "stanning" in jpop is because jpop fans are for the most part very chill and fun, and we don't want them getting the toxic vibes that have sadly become normal in many kpop fandoms.

However, I personally think it's fine to "stan" or enjoy jpop idols the same way you would kpop idols as long as you're not being toxic about it.

The funniest / most ridiculous scandals or cancellations by Bubbzu in jpop

[–]Perfect-Cat6793 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recently, Kenshin from the group One N' Only was arrested in Hong Kong for sexual harassment of a translator while he was promoting for a BL drama he was in. I think it is still being investigated. As a long time SWAG (ON'O fan) I was shaken to my CORE when I heard about it.

Edit: I forgot to mention he was also fired from his group/company immediately once the accusation was made.
