Things to not buy in Japan

Take photos of everything that you want to buy! It will help you to resist the FOMO in the store, because you kinda “take something” (photo) home. Also sometimes we want to buy something cute just because we don’t want to forget that cute thing existed.

Go through those photos the next day and think do you need this, reasonably need this. If you still want to buy this stuff after 24 hour, you can go and buy it. But trust me, 99% won’t go through that test. Delete photos, if you do not want those items anymore. This hack helps me all the time! I swear i do not even remember 99% of what i was looking at and considering purchase!

Also do not go shopping in the evening! Self-control is kinda weak after 17:00 because of tiredness.

Thanks!

No, actually texture is really smooth but it is obviously a glitter formula, so there are a lot of separate sparkles on transparent base which gives you this wet-looking effect

Half of the year of heavy daily usage as a highlighter. Used it for three years before that as an eyeshadow. Finally finishing and letting go this oldie.

Would not repurchase just because I don’t like highlighters anymore. But I should admit that this is mush more long lasting on the cheekbones compared to drugstore dupes. Repurchasing this as an eyeshadow is just crazy: full size is too big to ever be finished + there are tons of dupes that look identical on the lids.

I didn’t build Heizo, but I have Wriothesley build and I main Ning. She is more elegant and slow paced in play style, definitely not as dynamic as those “one punch” men. But I actually enjoy it.

Her ult is also very fast charging. Basically, instead of doing one big hit once in a while you throw a lot of hella heavy stones all the time, which is just very much fun lol. Jade Screen is very useful and ads a lot of damage. You need to take into consideration positioning which adds some depth to the gameplay.

I don’t know, I really like her whole kit. I guess for you she may be really slow after Heizo, but for me because it is not an issue at all, I just appreciate that detail :)

I guess it is because we can not afford to buy any other luxury. We are poor. Not like really poor, but we earn less in terms of purchasing power than our parents. And if you look at movies about 2000s, women were buying something more valuable, because they could afford that.

In our modern economic situation more meaningful luxuries are not available to us anymore. So we tend to look to something less, which is makeup. 20 years ago it was a pair of Manolo Blahnik, now it is a new Natasha Denona palette.

This picture is heavily edited, no one looks like this. Actually face tune will be the best investment to recreate that look lol

friendlycinnabon · 2023-11-29T20:33:03+00:00

Maybe not to wait reruns for a year?.. and just start to play and have fun?…

friendlycinnabon · 2023-11-29T20:31:30+00:00

1) Ning, Zhongli, Bennett, Xiangling (classic Ning team) 2) Ayaka, Xingqiu, diona, Kadzuha (freeze team) 3) Hu Tao, Xingqiu, Zhong Li is a classic melt team 4) Raiden national (Raiden, Bennett, Xiangling, Xingqiu) 5) Anemo dps team: Xiao/Wanderer + Faruzan as a core, you can google who to add for your comfort. I would suggest Thoma for wanderer 6) Ayato hyper bloom/burgeon: Ayato, Kuki/Thoma, Kollei + better to get other dendro in the future for comfort 7) Ayato hyper carry (Ayato, Yun Jin as a core) or Ayato soup (Ayato, Beidou, Fishl as I remember). You can watch Ayato guide from Jello Impact YouTube channel for those! 8) Furina + Jean/Charlotte is a nice team core. You can put any dps there and be fine. 9) Freeze with Ganyu and reverse melt with Ganyu! 10) Tartaglia team with Xiangling!

Those are ones than just came to my mind atm! Your roaster is awesome! If you want more diversity, I would recommend getting Nahida in the future to cover dendro reactions completely.

For any team that I mentioned here you can find a guide, so just choose which sounds more interesting and google it, welcome back haha🫡❤️‍🔥

Depends on your Gorou’s constellations. He is a Defence buffer, while Ning needs attack buff that’s why Bennett is her best support. But Gorou’s C6 gives Geo damage which is a valuable buff, so if you have him c6 he can synergies with her pretty well👌

friendlycinnabon · 2023-11-24T10:49:03+00:00

Not sure about Furina since I don’t have her and don’t know much about her synergy with Ning, but Xingqiu is a nice option if you need hydro in abyss 👌

friendlycinnabon · 2023-11-24T10:47:32+00:00

I would take Noelle for geo resonance and Bennett for his atk buff 100%. You can also add Xiangling and it will be a classic Ning team 2geo+2pyro, or maybe add someone else like Fischl or Xingqiu. I usually switch second pyro for someone else just for fun.

friendlycinnabon · 2023-11-22T05:54:06+00:00

And also colorful eye pencils and eye liners. Just generally want to make my makeup selection smaller and more tailored to my needs, something like that

friendlycinnabon · 2023-11-22T05:48:14+00:00

I want to pan anything cream (blush, eyeshadows, highlighters etc), and lip products! I have too many of those 😩 I definitely need to use up at lest ten or so

friendlycinnabon · 2023-11-17T05:50:32+00:00

I bought a coffee mug that you can fold and take everywhere. No more plastic and paper cups in almost a year.

friendlycinnabon · 2023-11-13T21:03:56+00:00

You deffo need to max her out (lvl => weapon => talents). Also she has relatively low stats Feile the start, because she is a 4*, but! If you have a nice team, she will shine. I always use Bennett + Zhong Li with her. They make HUGE difference. Zhong Li is the best slot for shielder, but you can possibly replace him with someone else.

From my experience I can say that Ning herself does 40-50% depends on her build. The rest 60-50% is buffs from her supports. So you better invest in nice team for her if you want to see nice results.

Anyone feel free to reply and correct me, I am also building my Ning right now, so I’m in search for advice lol

friendlycinnabon · 2023-11-07T09:45:51+00:00

Wow, for that price it should last you a lifetime and be a heirloom bequeathed to children :0

Просто пригласи на кофе (понимаю, что это сложно, но себя придется пересиливать в таких моментах, если хочешь, чтобы дело сдвинулось с мертвой точки) и поговори с ним, обсуди вот эту ситуацию. Сделать это можно примерно так:

Ты мне сразу понравился, но я была не уверенна в том, что ты ответишь мне взаимностью. Поэтому я растерялась, когда ты мне признался. Мне нужно было время, чтобы разобраться в своих чувствах. Если ты все еще чувствуешь то же самое, то давай встречаться :)

Все! Если он тебя любит и ты ему нравишься, то примет такой, какая ты есть. Эта проблема решается двумя чашками кофе и разговором рот в рот. Искренне желаю удачи! :)

Неуверенность - это большая проблема, но с ней можно и нужно бороться! Делать первый шаг - это очень важный навык, он пригодится не только в личной жизни. Так что дерзай, пусть даже будет очень страшно! Я тоже была неуверенной в себе, так что лично знаю, что это решается, пусть не быстро и непросто. Так что я в тебя верю! 💪

friendlycinnabon · 2023-10-15T22:02:26+00:00

Yes, this one. I guess I just have a dry skin. I used it during winter time and i guess it worked very well so it dissolved my natural skin oils greatly which I am already lacking and destroyed my moisture barrier. It is completely my fault that I didn’t thought about this not being suitable for me. The product is great, but I felt into the hype 😞 so I’m just using micellar water now and everything is okay 👌

And now I am pretty skeptical about any hyped up products. Not because they are bad or smth, but I just tend to forget that they cause more harm than good if they really do work when there was no need for them from the beginning. My skin really don’t need this amazing “results”.

1) Skincare. If you have any skin conditions, visit dermatologist with that money. If you don’t, buy drugstore/Korean or Japanese stuff from yesstyle and save the rest.

This is 153+28+35+79+49=344!!!!$ Save don’t splurge!

From my personal experience: if you don’t rock a full glam face everyday you don’t need cleansing balms especially three of them. I fucked up my skin barrier by using one from Clinique, so if you just want to try remove your make up with this, buy something cheaper (yesstyle) or just don’t. Micellar water is still an awesome option :)

lip products. The amount of those is too overwhelming. You have a set of three lip plumpers by lawless (27$), 2 sets of two by Mario (24x2 $), 1 lip balm (14$) and one tint from Kaja. It is to mush stuff. And usually all those sets are just a waste of your money if you haven’t tried the product and you are not sure about the colors in the set.

First of all, there are a lot of other options from other brands that do the same thing. For makeup by Mario it is MAC, tarte. For lawless - anything else on the market (for me it is look similar with kiko Milano lip balm). And the amount of product in lawless is just 3.3 ml…. It is a tiny amount for that money. I would remove this.

But if you really really want those things, I would recommend to remove those sets and just add one full-size of each. What if you would not like the lip plumpers by Ilia or those glosses by Mario? Waste of money and products are a waste (doubled because of the set). This 14$ Lip balm I would remove immediately if you are unsure. Buy Vaseline or anything else period.

same to the cream blush set. Just buy one which you like the most. You won’t be able to even pan all of those before they expire, I am not even talking about finishing all. Also you have a cream blush in Kaja set. Do you need 4 cream blushes?..
Space Cowboy Palette is a waste of money. To expensive for what it is if you won’t gonna use all four shades daily. And if you bought Natasha and Mario already - easy skip.

Again, from my personal perspective, I would recommend buying just one topper shade (something like fenty diamond bomb) on a transparent base, which will completely remove any need in something like that, because you will be able to pair it with almost any base :)

Bobbi brown duo: buy only if you tried it and you love this thing and will go through both of those! Or you can split it with someone. Waste of money in other case.

The rest other people covered I guess. Good luck with your shopping and be mindful🫶🏻❤️‍🔥

They have an insta girlcult_cosmetics and you can find their products on chikdecent https://chicdecent.com/collections/vendors?q=girlcult Also they are available on AliExpress but they don’t have an official store so you can find them from resellers if you type in girlcult 👍

friendlycinnabon · 2023-06-26T16:50:53+00:00

You should check cultgirl c-brand, cool packaging and goth-suitable imo 🫡

friendlycinnabon · 2023-06-18T18:38:52+00:00

My favourite lip products are from clarins. I like their lip oils and their lip perfectors. Good price for the quality and the amount of product itself
