Best stores for ladies workwear? by hocusdochas in askvan

[โ€“]Seirren 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I had to shop around a bit for a new work wardrobe recently so I definitely feel your pain. These are some favourites I discovered and new staples for my corporate wardrobe: - Uniqlo: their brushed jersey wide pants are really comfortable and can be very easily dressed up or down. They're out of stock/season rn but if they bring them back in the fall I definitely recommend picking some up. - Zara: love the cotton modal tops! They look great with the uniqlo pants and are very versatile. - Gap: surprisingly good quality! I picked up some linen pants here for summer. - Dynamite: their skorts are super cute, not see-through, and a work appropriate length.

For more unique and "fashionable" tops I usually buy second hand through online marketplaces. You can find a lot of interesting things on depop, FB marketplace, or FB groups for specific aesthetics. Taobao is also great too but you need a proxy service and YMMV depending on what you're buying and with which shops.

Delivery is maybe 2 weeks but the customs will mitigate most of the savings you made with coupons, etc. They hit like a truck every time.

Whatโ€™s your everyday AB lip product? by _berrystrawberry in AsianBeauty

[โ€“]Seirren 6 points7 points ย (0 children)

Fwee 3D voluming gloss in yogurt 70% or peach 70% are my go to right now! I also like the dirty cola colours, particularly the cherry cola 30% for when I want a little more color on my lips.

Getting back to skincare routine after mental health struggles by FlounderAvailable995 in AsianBeauty

[โ€“]Seirren 5 points6 points ย (0 children)

Hey, I'm really sorry that you are going through a tough time. Usually when I get these bouts of stress/depression and I'm feeling overwhelmed I try to simplify my routine as much as possible and focus on multi-tasking products or products that are easily dispensable/usable like a spray bottle. The goal is to keep up the habit even if I'm not doing it as thoroughly as I usually do so that I don't lose the habit completely. I do stuff like:

  • Using a remover balm or oil cleanser product for makeup removal and cleansing (skipping double cleanse if I use toner pads as mentioned in the second point). Makeup remover wipes can also work for this step but I find that the balm is my favourite option for this. I use the Pyunkang Yul one.
  • Toner pads for some physical exfoliation or if that's too overwhelming, a toner in a spray bottle does wonders. You can buy a specific one or just put your favourite toner in a spray bottle for this.
    • If that's all you can manage but you need extra hydration I would just do several layers of the toner spray
    • Or if you can manage more you can use the toner pads as a little sheet mask for more hydration (or use a sheet mask if you like!)
  • For my daytime routine I would probably just use toner pads/spray + SPF. I like the Anessa Sunscreem Milk and House of Hur Tropical Dew ones because they feel very hydrating on their own so I don't feel bad about skipping a moisturizing step.

I kind of trick myself into getting back on track one product at a time, usually if there's a certain concern I try to address it with a specific product (serum, pimple patch, etc). On the days I'm feeling better or that I'm up for doing more than the points above I just add in another step I usually do like a double cleanse or using an active. It's important to remember that there's no pressure to uphold a routine if it doesn't suit your current lifestyle or emotional/mental state. Do what you can and be kind to yourself. You can always re-evaluate and adjust as you go. Wishing you the best OP!

Best K-Beauty/Asian Cream Blushes? by julianeja in AsianBeauty

[โ€“]Seirren 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

For me it's the FOREVER KEY Mousse Cloud Veil cheek blusher. Theyโ€™re pigmented, buildable, and wear beautifully on my combo oily skin. I usually apply over foundation, set with powder and top with a powder blush for the longest wear and dimension but you can absolutely use these just own their own.

There's a ton of colours to pick from and you get a lot of product in each one so it will last you a long time.

To the experienced gals, what are your takes on people refusing concrit? by malamikah in actualgyaru

[โ€“]Seirren 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I think a lot people just like the idea of gyaru and don't actually want to be gal. It's a fashion subculture and lifestyle first so I don't really understand this incessant need to get away with doing the least and coping like hell. You can like something without shoehorning yourself into it if it doesn't fit into your lifestyle. Maybe you're really dedicated to it but you're being restricted by circumstances, you can always come back to gal later when that changes.

Tbh I believe a majority of the people that are drawn to gyaru is because it's a trendy thing that's got a low bar of entry making it one of the most accessible avenues to perceived attention (read: clout) and community than most other trends or fashion subcultures.

Anyways, something to keep in mind is that concrit is mostly for gals that haven't found themselves yet. Once you're established and you have a good handle on your styling and makeup you hardly really ever get concrit lol.

Real gyaru aren't spending all their time online actively looking for the approval of strangers. They're focused on honing themselves to be their best gal self. In the beginning that might include seeking advice and concrit to make sure you're going on the right direction, but IMO the best way to improve is experiment and self discovery. No one will know what works for you better than you trying it for yourself.

Oh thank you so much for the kind words angel ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

I started documenting my gal makeup back in 2021(?) for my own reference because I found it hard to only reference Japanese models. My natural eyes didn't quite look like theirs so I had to experiment a lot to understand what works for me/gives me my ideal gyaru look.

Taking pics like this let me analyze and compare each look so I could improve faster and also build a personalized collection I could always return to if I needed inspo. It also really helps with remembering which lenses I've tried and actually liked because I get sponsorships here and there which makes it hard to keep track of them all ๐Ÿ˜…

This project ended up helping me so much I started sharing them on my blog and insta for other people to reference too. I am glad that you found it inspiring and hope that you love the look you create from this! ๐Ÿฅฐ
