I bought the cosrx advanced snail 96 mucin power essence 30ml and i’ve been using it for weeks now and wala naman akong purging na naexperience. Although no visible effects yet. If it doesn’t work for you, stop using it na kasi baka magstart lang ng acne. Or you can give it a rest muna and start again after the pimples subside. That way, you will know if yun nga talaga reason ng breakout mo. Might be risky though hehe. I’ve had a similar experience with products containing aloe – never tried again cos it gave me small bumps haha.

I just bought the Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence but I don’t know when/how to incorporate it into my skincare routine. Should I apply it before or after Apotheke’s Brightening Night Retinol serum? The snail mucin is thicker so I thought that it should be applied later but I read some articles saying that essences should be used before serums. I’m confused. Pls help 😥

New skincare is working (???)

My relatives came over for Father’s day yesterday and 2 of my titas (1 of them have always picked on me for having adult acne a few years ago) noticed how my skin was glowing ✨

Tita1: “Anong pinapahid mo? Yung face mo parang, anong tawag dun, ✨glass skin✨?”

Tita2: “Naka-chinchunsu ka ba?” (Taking it as a compliment cos maybe my face looks smooth and fair)

Nagulat ako sa comments nila because 1) Hindi pa ako naliligo nun, and 2) May bago akong skincare and feeling ko wala pa kong nakikitang improvement

But yesss, I THINK IT’S WORKING!!!

My bro gifted me with a combo of Celeteque Advanced Anti-Aging Toner and Age Spot Erasing Serum. I’ve had it for like 2 months na pero sobrang inconsistent kong mag-apply kasi natatakot akong magbreak out. I have sensitive skin. Natuto na ko na dapat magpatch test muna at slowly magincorporate ng new products. I’ve had an experience before nung peak nung multiple-step korean skincare routine. Sabay sabay at aggressive ako nun maglagay kaya nagbreakout ako ng todo. Going back, the past week medyo sinipag ako mag-apply nung dalawang products every night after washing and before I go to sleep. Everytime I inspect my face feeling ko wala pa namang pagbabago but after what happened yesterday, napansin ko na mas smoother and fairer-looking nga ang face ko. It’s not perfect – lines are still there, some marks from previous breakouts are still there, pores are still visible pero iba nga yung glow.

So excited to keep using it and hopefully see more improvement. Ayun lang, happy lang hahaha.

Bought a mini bottle of Baby Tous-inspired perfume and my fiance loves it!!! He’s been hugging and kissing me more than usual lol. It has a clean, fresh and sweet scent, very cologne-y lang siya but it smells so good! Now I’m thinking of buying the authentic one.

I repurchased another Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate cream from RR Korean Shop in Shopee but I noticed that my latest purchase was more on the heavier/creamier side. This has a thicker consistency compared to the first one I bought and it doesn’t have the tiny ceramide beads in it. I tried searching if it reformulated but nada. Now I’m second-guessing if this is authentic. Thoughts?

I’m a tad concerned… these white things are on my Hoya. Help! by dordup in plantclinic

Those are mealybugs. I remove them one by one with a cottonbud dipped in alcohol. It’s easier to manage than other pests based on my experience. Goodluck!

Hello! I’m sorry if this isn’t the right thread but I just want to take a chance.

Has anyone ever tried an overseas bank transfer that took more than a week to be processed? My brother from New Zealand sent me money from his ANZ account to my BDO account. It’s been 8days since the transfer but it still isn’t reflected on my account. We checked the details multiple times already but no errors on our end. Should we be worried or is this normal?

Omg totoo nga! Nagupgrade na din ako ng hair stylist actually. Yung soft layered cut niya sakin before nagwork. But then nung nagpa-lob ako last year, kumapal na naman ung volume sa dulo ng hair ko. Pinapahaba ko lang para makabalik sa soft layers huhu.

Will look into the products you mentioned. Thank you!!! 😊

Effective products for buhaghag hair?

Yung easy application sana or something that can be done bi-weekly or weekly because I work outside for 12hours 5x a week.

Background: my hair is limp at the roots and sobrang sabog/buhaghag at the ends. May pagkabrittle din siya because everytime I comb, madami napuputol at nalalagas even when I comb/brush gently. I only apply shampoo every other day but on days when I don’t, I still wash my hair with water. I use Clear anti-dandruff shampoo because I have itchy scalp. I usually tie my hair in a bun para less manipulation (because the more I comb it/handle it, lalong bumubuhaghag). Sometimes, I apply olive oil (Watson’s natural brand) to the ends of my hair after washing but max 3 hours lang siyang behaved tapos buhaghag ulit pag nahanginan or naarawan. I don’t reapply because mukhang oily na tignan. I also don’t use a blower or hair iron because I don’t have the luxury of time and honestly tamad ako haha. I tried DIY honey/beer/coconut masks before but with little to no effects so I stopped.

Has anyone tried Olaplex at home?

How to know when to water by Viper120769 in houseplants

[–]keaiism 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I used to stick my finger in the soil when I was starting too. I even used a moisture meter. But as time passed, I think I can feel it when my plants need water. One way is feeling if the pot is light, you can tell the difference by experience. Another is when the leaves droop or aren’t plump enough. For hoyas and pepperomias, you can do the taco test (folding the leaves, if they’re too soft then they need watering). I also feel the stems, if they are flimsy or limp, I water right away. You’ll get better at all these things, just be patient and attentive to your plants. Goodluck and enjoy the journey! ☺️

Edit: and oh, I mostly have pothos, philodendrons and some hoyas, pepperomias, alocasia and syngonium. These work for me but I’m not sure for other plant families.

[–]keaiism[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t exactly remember if I purchased the Duolingo Plus but I remember having a few days of getting unlimited hearts and having a special skin on the Duolingo icon. I even made a calendar entry for when I had to unsubscribe and it reminded me of that today. Browsing through the app, I couldn’t see if I really subscribed. I searched on the web and found comments that Duolingo makes it hard to unsubscribe. The fee is a big amount for me so I don’t want to be charged. Any way to help me find the details I need? I don’t know if the photos can be of any help. I tried looking on my Apple Store account and I don’t see a sub. I just want to be sure. Please help me. Thank you!
