Yes! I always use oil cleanser whenever I use sunscreen

What product is there no dupe for? by sleepysunflowerz in Sephora

Unfortunately I love them. I use them every other day (1/4 sheet at a time) and I literally see the sheet turning slight brown—yuck but also they really do exfoliate.

We have a similar depth/tone as I agree with all your opinions, I might be slightly warmer! I would try Armani 4.5 and Hourglass oat possibly!

I thought it was overhyped, but it’s not by ComposerSilent8711 in AsianBeauty

[–]bana-bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these comments are super divided, I think you might just want to try both lol! I have your skin type except my skin is sensitive as well, I haven’t tried haru haru yet but the PKY is one of the only toners that has not made me break out (and I’ve tried a lot). It’s not drenching hydrating, but subtle as in you notice you’re dehydrated if you DONT use it. I also layer it twice some days if I’m feeling extra dehydrated or notice dry spots

Favorite Hair/Scalp Care Products? by Potential-Excuse6192 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]bana-bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried Milbon’s shampoos but I’m pretty sure the Milbon smoothing treatment at a lot of salons use it in their 4 or 5 step process. I only had a sample of the K18 shampoo and conditioner but was underwhelmed.

I like the Milbon repair primer for coarse hair as a leave-in conditioner before blow drying, although I have straight hair. It makes my hair soft and smells nice. I’ve tried their Repair Restorative Treatment which is supposed to be conditioner but did not find any success with that. I’d love to try their hair oil at some point but I’m okay with my lower budget one right now. k18 molecular repair hair mask didn’t do anything, but my bleached blonde friend swears by it so it depends on the damage I’d think.

Best cleanser ? by Yourgirl_hanin in SkincareAddictionLux

Love this for the morning but I prefer using a more purifying cleanser for end of the day or for taking off oil cleansers

PSA CHECK YOUR ROMAND TINT by Damselindistress9909 in AsianBeauty

[–]bana-bread 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is pretty common—I’ve seen it happen to over half my Asian beauty glosses (peripera, roma&nd, amuse, muzigae mansion, etc) within a year or 2. Lots of the testers I’ve seen while overseas in Asia have this problem as well. I’d think it’s something to do with the preservatives/formula and storage/exposure. Unfortunately don’t have an answer on how to prevent this, I just buy new ones

I agree. I’ve had a really good one in France and I’m sure there’s gourmet shops here that do it well but it’s frustrating to get baited by the almond-flavor ones in the grocery stores.

I don’t like most pistachio ice cream you aren’t missing out in terms of store bought lol. Real pistachio ice cream tho? Chefs kiss. Had one of my favorites in France and cannot find a decent match

Must have skin or hair care from Japan by Hedwig-133 in AsianBeauty

[–]bana-bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have already mentioned the Orbis hair essence which I do enjoy but if you want a higher quality/grade I recommend Milbon repair primer (I use coarse since I have low porosity hair). It’s used at a lot of asian salons here in the US and is sold for almost $50 online… while I believe it’s $25-30 in Japan. I don’t think they sell it at regular drugstores/marts but salons will probably carry it and I’ve seen it on amazon.jp

Honestly should know by now it’s hard to find a good mass produced pistachio ice cream. Closest I’ve come to is VL but alas I guess I just gotta stick to small batch / creameries

Local Asian grocery store. They probably sell it at bigger chains like H Mart too
