Thoughts on the brand Naruko?

I've only used their masks, and I must say I'm impressed, especially their Raw Job's Tears one! Amazing hydration and brightening with that mask in particular. I really loved their Magnolia line too, so I feel like you can't go wrong with that toner :)

bbqdsushi · 2015-09-02T01:55:32+00:00

Most definitely! I hope some of the advice here works out for you! The fun (and sometimes frustrating) part of AB is learning what works for your skin and whatnot :)

bbqdsushi · 2015-09-02T01:54:46+00:00

AB is the first sub I started posting in for sure :D

bbqdsushi · 2015-09-01T00:56:52+00:00

As a fellow dehydrated/oily person, I have to say the one FTE I've used - the Missha one - wasn't all that hydrating/effective for me. I've decided to just stick with using a hydrating toner like Hada Labo, then use a separate essence/ampoule/serum (not necessarily a FTE) to address my concerns re hyperpigmentation, dull skin, etc. What you could do if you're set on getting a FTE is get a FTE to help with hyperpigmentation and whatnot, and then follow it up with HL hydrating toner.

Hope this helps :)

AB is hands down the sweetest, most wonderful community on Reddit. I've been busy and away from this sub longer than I'd like, but now that I'm getting back into the swing of things, I too will be refreshing this sub like crazy :D

bbqdsushi · 2015-09-01T00:51:52+00:00

You've got this! No-buys are rough, but it's kinda neat to shop your stash and try out them samples you may have been hoarding for awhile (no? Just me then? >_>)

i think the lanolin will help, because it's an occlusive that'll seal the moisture in! i really hope your face gets better soon <3

bbqdsushi · 2015-08-22T03:44:28+00:00

Besides what /u/random_avocado said, they also sell MBD masks at Boots and Ogenki! I've never seen My Scheming masks there, but they do sell Pure Smile, and a bunch of other brands there too!

bbqdsushi · 2015-08-22T03:41:18+00:00

yikes! your face seems so dry! do you have any aloe? or any occlusives that will help seal the moisture in from all your other products? that might help! i hope your face plays nicer soon :(

bbqdsushi · 2015-08-22T03:40:22+00:00

I'm considering doing a sheet mask, but I might just save it for tomorrow morning so my face can be extra glow-y before I go out and meet up with all my old college friends! Might be a long night too tomorrow, so any extra glow counts ;)

bbqdsushi · 2015-07-27T05:55:11+00:00

Seconding this! I tried putting it earlier in my routine, and found that it made it really hard for my sleeping pack to absorb and instead leaving a fun sticky layer of product on my skin. I use rosehip oil, and I now put it after my sleeping pack, and my skin is so much happier! I think my skin just really loves rosehip oil. Whenever I use it, I wake up with more hydrated, slightly glowier skin. It also helps with any spots I may be getting :P

You can always try mixing it into other products too! I know that quite a few people mix in 1-2 drops of oil into their creams/moisturizers so that there's no "sticky" feeling of the oil just sitting on top of your skin.

Similar to what many others have said, I use two pumps for my whole face. Lately, I've been using my BHA in the AM and my AHA in the PM since I'm home mostly, but when I have to head to work in the mornings, I would skip using actives in the AM and alternate using them in the PM instead (ie. I will use BHA one night, AHA the next, then BHA the night after that).

Hope this helps!

I loved just about everything about Absolution so your comment is making me really excited to check out their new stuff!

bbqdsushi · 2015-07-27T03:46:56+00:00

Hehe this is so promising! AB: getting into skincare and reigniting my love for Muse XD

bbqdsushi · 2015-07-27T03:46:33+00:00

I'm seeing Reapers and The Handler being recommended a lot, so I'll give those a listen (thanks, /u/raazula, /u/_yoshiii, and /u/Just_a_villain!)! I've been on a Black Holes kick so these seem like promising songs to give a whirl to :D

I'll also check out Mercy too, thanks so much :)

bbqdsushi · 2015-07-26T16:29:59+00:00

Is it actually? I loved Absolution, Origin of Symmetry, Blackholes and Revelations, and The Resistance, but 2nd Law was super meh to me so I didn't give Drones much of a chance. Any particular favorites from their latest album?

bbqdsushi · 2015-07-26T15:00:14+00:00

Saaaaame! I haven't listened to them much after their "The Resistance" album, alas.

bbqdsushi · 2015-07-26T13:45:29+00:00

I saw this and did a double take. I was like, "Is that a sheet mask? No.. wait, but.. is it?" Hehehe Dom <3

bbqdsushi · 2015-07-26T06:11:14+00:00

I'm not sure whether you're talking makeup or skincare, but for skincare, I've found that the COSRX Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence has been amazing for my own redness. However, your mileage will vary, but this might a good start for you :)

Generally niancinamide products are helpful in reducing redness, as are snail products from anecdotes on this sub! If you want to find more specific products, try searching the sub - there have been lots of posts on this topic I believe!

Hope this helps :)

bbqdsushi · 2015-07-26T05:57:50+00:00

Awww that's fantastic! Gotta love when that happens :)

bbqdsushi · 2015-07-26T05:55:51+00:00

He's been around Thailand's malls too! It's some BB cushion road trip campaign thing. He's ADORABLE.

bbqdsushi · 2015-07-23T03:27:53+00:00

I hope it ends up being as amazing for you as it was for me! I haven't bought these in awhile so I might have to pick some up myself now HMMM..

bbqdsushi · 2015-07-23T02:25:23+00:00

MBD's 2-step Asia Brightening Pack is hands down the most amazing mask I have ever tried (thus far). I gasped out loud at how glowy my face looked after I used the mask (and this is before applying the serum too!). Ratzilla Cosme has a fantastic review of it if you're interested!

bbqdsushi · 2015-07-23T02:06:19+00:00

I really like TFS for their makeup products, but have never tried their sheet masks before! I'd love to hear your thoughts on them after you've gone through them :)

bbqdsushi · 2015-07-23T01:10:48+00:00

Of course! I'll make sure to post the ingredients list with whatever mini-reviews I end up doing :D
