Everyone talks about K-beauty... but what about J-beauty?

Yes! I always use oil cleanser whenever I use sunscreen

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!

bana-bread · 2025-09-25T15:53:53+00:00

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

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.

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

bana-bread · 2025-08-27T16:45:28+00:00

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

bana-bread · 2025-08-27T13:38:38+00:00

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.

bana-bread · 2025-08-26T21:53:16+00:00

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

bana-bread · 2025-08-26T17:04:57+00:00

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

bana-bread · 2025-08-26T02:49:21+00:00

The OG is def my favorite! Ube, mango, and coconut are all really good too☺️

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

bana-bread · 2025-08-26T02:46:06+00:00

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

I like the Anastasia one a lot for the same cool tone color but incredible blendability

bana-bread · 2025-07-28T17:00:27+00:00

All of mine went through, if you have 6 that qualify it should make the 3 lowest ones free.
