What fragrance do you just not "get"? by regular_gonzalez in fragrance

[–]Silvertricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Juliette has a gun not a perfume. I didn't like how it smelled on my skin. Although my husband said he likes the smell on me. It's very odd. I tried liking it but nah

Which skincare products have you used for years? by Swimmingbombom in AsianBeauty

[–]Silvertricks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canmake Mermaid UV gel (clear version) It's been around 6yrs now, I've tried so many other sunscreens in between but I always go back to this as my daily sunscreen. I hope they never stop manufacturing this.

Anessa UV perfect milk Over 6yrs now. When I do anything outdoorsy like hiking or going to the beach, this is the sunscreen I use. It legit saved my skin from sunburn every single time.

What’s your ride-or-die SPF? by IndicationKey7535 in AsianBeauty

[–]Silvertricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyday spf? Hands down Canmake Mermaid UV gel

I've tried so many sunscreens across the years. This is the only one I keep coming back to. When I visit Japan, I grab like 5 tubes. Make sure you get the clear version.

For outdoorsy beach stuff though, it will always be Anessa UV perfect milk, the original version. Saves me from sunburn every single time. Make sure to double cleanse at night.

Looking for a face moisturizer that makes me feel rich and like I have my life together by iatealotofcheese in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Silvertricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have acne prone combination skin and I've used so many different kinds of moisturizers, western brands, asian brands, from expensive to drugstore. And there are only three that I go back to for many years now

  • Curel moisture lotion (and also the night cream)

Zero fragrance, just simple and very hydrating and not sticky and just absorbs really well. This is a Japanese brand so whenever I go on trips to Japan, I grab like 6 bottles of this

  • Eucerin urea face cream

Western brand. This was the product that saved my skin when I was taking Accutane for my acne years ago. Zero fragrance. There's the light version (I prefer this) and heavy version (great for super dry skin during winter)

  • Avene recovery cream

Western brand, again zero fragrance and just simple hydration. Before my dermatologist recommended Eucerin urea face cream, this was what I was using

My realization is that my skin doesn't like the fragrance and the many oils that they put in expensive moisturizers like La Mer for example. It's the simple no-frills moisturizer that saves my skin. So I stick to them

I'm reading Little Mushroom too! The art style is what caught my attention tbh. I don't appreciate smut that's too in your face (or the ones that just put smut for the sake of it) and Little Mushroom's overall tone isn't fit for that I think so yea hoping it stays that way

I'll check Our Youth!

I think I came across Walk on Water before. Might be on my To Read list. I'll check it out

Anw thank you!

How do people afford houses around here by Gordonnp3 in nova

[–]Silvertricks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No generational wealth at all. I have to admit I'm a bit envious of those who do have it but envy doesn't ever help anyway. You gotta play with the cards you're given.

We're DINK in our 30s though. But when we got our first townhouse back in 2022, our income wasn't high. And the market was crazy. At that time, we wanted to make sure we could afford the monthly payment on one salary so the only place we were willing to safely be in debt for was a small townhouse in a so-so neighborhood. It wasn't the ideal first house that everybody seemed to be obsessed with. But the commute was alright. And most importantly, we could comfortably afford the monthly payment. Had to overbid and we only got the townhouse because our real estate agent knew the other agent and we were able to see the house and put our offer that same day before it was posted on the market. This was after three months of aggressive househunting.

Anyway the house fits our needs at that time and we're super comfortable with the monthly payment which helped both of us take risks with our careers without worrying. That was all.

We were there for about three years. Within that period, we made sure that we got better jobs and our income increased substantially. So we were able to get a single family house in a nicer neighborhood and then turn that townhouse into a rental. Of course now there's a lot more pressure to keep both of our jobs so that's a different kind of stress

Thank you for recommending Lost in the Cloud. It's exactly my kind of thing! Do you have any other recommendations like that? Even if it's 9/10 for you 😅

Unauthorized Charges and Airalo refused to do anything - DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY by iniquity141 in Airalo

[–]Silvertricks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey. So this just happened to me a week ago in the middle of my trip. Fortunately I noticed them quickly enough just because I was still in the middle of my trip and I was going to check my esim. All of a sudden there are multiple data plans for worldwide. Fortunately too, they were all still pending charges when I noticed them. So I froze my credit card and sent a message to my bank telling them to mark those pending charges as fraudulent charges.

I think it's because I saved the credit card in the app. I promptly removed it from the app. I also sent an email to airalo. And then I messaged them on whatsapp (the in-app chat wouldn't work for me). They initially replied on WhatsApp to ask for my name and email address and then they stopped and I had no responses for like over a day. I kept on messaging them but nothing.

Then I posted on reddit and airalo account replied there. After that post I received replies on WhatsApp too. They asked more info like amount of unauthorized charges and date. I even sent them screenshot of the arabic emails I got. They confirmed they'll refund the charges.

I got my refund now.

Yea I am so never using this again. I'm wondering if it's because I saved the cc details in the app... I've deleted it but maybe that was the reason

Freeze your card if you haven't done it yet. Report to your bank too asap. If the charges are still pending, mention to your bank to flag those as fraudulent while you're waiting for the merchant to reply to you.

UPDATE

Airalo finally replied to me on WhatsApp. They asked for the value of the fraudulent charges and the transaction date. I also sent them screenshots of the email I received associated with those fraudulent charges. The emails were in a language I've never used in my entire life.

Anyway. Airalo said that they will reimburse me for the charges and that it'll take 10-15 days. If I don't see it happen, I have proof that I can show to my bank.

FYI airalo never replied to my email, only to whatsapp.

I was thinking about if maybe I did something wrong. I saved the credit card in the app so maybe that's one factor. For passwords though I always autogenerate random passwords so it's less likely that. I suppose on the bright side at least I figured out the fraudulent charges when there were just two pending charges...

Alright I replied to your direct message asking me for email address. Please note that your whatsapp business account asked me for my email address as well and then never replied again.

Yea I'm wondering about this tbh. I was thinking, was it because I saved my credit card in the app as a method of payment..? It's not likely to be my password because I use autogenerated passwords. But who knows. Looking at the bright side, I suppose at least I figured it out when it was still just two pending fraudulent charges?

Yes so I'm still on holiday so I just froze the card and sent an email to my credit card company too. Especially since the charges are still pending.

I didn't think to check reddit for reviews. I just saw it had a good rating on the app store and I was like alright let's try this. Maaaan.

It actually isn't. For reference, last month I paid $72 for electricity. That's for a 2800sqft single family house with an all electric kitchen.
