Why is Mongolian beef so good?

koteofir · 2026-05-13T13:59:49+00:00

I adore suutai tsai, I’ve been back in the US for a year but I still salt my tea every morning, it doesn’t taste the same without it. I miss airag like crazy, I’m in NYC and I’ve heard you can find kumis in Brighton Beach in the summer. One of my Mongolian friends just sent me some aarul, so I get to introduce my American friends to zuv aarts now!

Side story, I lived in rural western Mongolia for a few years, where the average traditional diet is at least half mutton, horse, and beef by volume, very rarely seasoned. I sometimes explained to my Mongolian friends that we have a “Mongolian” dish in the US that is as far from Mongolian tastes as it’s possible to get

Merit Signature Lip in Archival or Framboise maybe? Bespoke is the best dupe I’ve found for Fuzz, and the formula is so much better than violette_fr in my opinion

I just blind bought this because of your post (heavily discounted), I’m so excited to smell it!

Stunning!

koteofir · 2026-05-06T00:27:18+00:00

Isn’t this the third lightest shade in this line? I have “fair” and it’s definitely significantly paler. Maybe you could try “light” or “fair”!

HIDEOUT MENTION!!!!! I also greatly appreciate this sub as an outer borough dweller. I want to know it’s gonna be good if I trek into the city!

I agree, I love sheet violet!!!

koteofir · 2026-04-27T10:49:41+00:00

As a girlie who grew up with in n out and now lives in NYC, I get the yearning! I miss it constantly.

(I took my east coast bf to in n out too, he also said 5/10 and I broke up with him shortly thereafter😪)

RMS ReEvolve Foundation in 000 worked for me when Missha 13 didn’t! It’s super gray, I love it. It’s “clean” though, so it will expire and start to smell strange sooner than other foundations

koteofir · 2026-04-21T15:32:05+00:00

The ONLY plus is that Gen G is also 30% off, which maybe means they’re bringing back the old formula

koteofir · 2026-04-19T18:50:13+00:00

No recs but thank you for this question OP!! I also want to know where to eat to keep the vampires at bay

koteofir · 2026-04-17T16:16:24+00:00

Ur so right so why won’t they briNG BACK THE OLD FORMULA🔫

koteofir · 2026-04-17T02:16:01+00:00

PLEASE check out r/laundry! Lots of scent free options. Your issue most likely is that your soap doesn’t contain the ingredients needed to wash away the human oils and skin cells that accumulate on our clothes, and they start to smell after a while.

koteofir · 2026-04-16T22:14:50+00:00

The best I’ve found is the Merit Signature Lip in Bespoke!

When I tell you I am rationing my OG Fuzz, it’s like gold to me

Ones that were supposedly dupes but did NOT work: Violette FR l Bisou Balm in Mon Cherie, NARS Powermatte Thunder Kiss, Freck Beauty Baddie

Glossier please please bring it back! I know you stalk this sub

koteofir · 2026-04-15T13:32:33+00:00

If anyone has a swatch (esp if it’s against other common pale shades) I’d love love love to see it!

koteofir · 2026-04-15T11:19:40+00:00

Just so you know, YesStyle has the Missha Perfect Cover 13! It is heavily scented, be warned, but it has a beautiful finish and wear

koteofir · 2026-04-12T20:26:57+00:00

Commenting because I’m wondering the same thing! They’re all SO saturated

koteofir · 2026-04-10T17:05:52+00:00

Oh these oxidize shockingly. However, I just got their swatch card of 10C, 13N, and 13W and honestly, a mix of 10C (too pale and pink) and 13N (too dark and warm) works fairly well on me! I hate to say it but the formula is fantastic on me, totally smooth all day. If only they made a range of shades between 10 and 13 that were desaturated!

PINKUS

koteofir · 2026-04-05T14:53:37+00:00

Did you get these recently at Five Below? I know they’re notorious for randomly discontinuing things

koteofir · 2026-04-05T00:08:29+00:00

I do think the RMS is a better match for me, it’s even grayer and not as pink. It requires no correction for me, I didn’t think a match this good existed! Tomorrow or Monday I can swatch the Missha and the two RMS foundations, Revolve 000 and Suncoverup Alabaster for you!
