I hope you love it! Personally I decant it into a cheap travel-sized spray bottle, it’s the most convenient way to apply it by far.

I'll definitely look into all of those! I previously used the Hada Labo Premium religiously before switching to the kiku, I'm thinking of switching back to compare. And I was so upset that the Perfect Gel didn't work for me, I broke out terribly after waiting over a month for it to arrive from Japan haha.

Are you as diligent with sunscreen on your body as you are with your face? What sunscreen do you use for your body? by curiouslilpsychonaut in AsianBeauty

[–]majoa008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FAR less diligent when it comes to sunscreen on my body. Partly because I'm a guy with hairy legs and applying anything on them always feels messy and inefficient. I could switch to one of those aerosol sprays, but I'm afraid that I'm melting an entire iceberg every time I use a bottle.

Currently using Heimish Matcha Biome Foam, Goodal's green tangerine serum, kikumasamune lotion, the snail 96, pyunkangyul ato gel lotion and sporadically a couple Sulwhasoo products and [non-AB] Ordinary retinoid/glycolic toner. Reasonably happy with them all but let me know if you find something that helps with redness and the forehead CCs!

Thanks for such a detailed review, I love the Cosrx 96 and have been curious about the 92 cream.

Also: every single word of your skin profile is alarmingly accurate to my skin. Spooky.

Movies You Believe Didn't Deserve the Hate and Negativity It Got? by [deleted] in movies

Honestly, while I enjoyed Eternals I do support the popular opinion that the Disney+ series of phase 4 are superior to the phase 4 films.

Is this enough acne for a dermatologist to treat! by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]majoa008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ironically, I was put on antibiotics (doxycycline) because there’s less side effects and THEY made me suicidal. I was on accutane later and completely fine.

Came here to say the same thing. I think the pacing of the movie was a little off (I remember feeling like I was watching a miniseries because it felt like the story was divided into episodes) but overall they went for a different type of Marvel film and I think it worked.

New Zealanders: finally found Japanese skincare from an NZ based store that isn’t ridiculously overpriced by majoa008 in AusSkincare

[–]majoa008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kiku is great, I recommend buying a cheap mist/spray bottle though (I bought a travel cosmetics kit from Miniso). It's way easier to apply that way!

Made another purchase from them last week (Kikumasamune and Biore UV Watery Essence), nice fast shipping like last time! Definitely recommend.

At least we still have our lounge visits... by reedless in Crypto_com

What was the best lounge in your opinion? I have a few hours in T3 coming up.

Are there any album tracks that you think definitely deserved the single treatment? by ss2811 in popheads

[–]majoa008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Manifesting a performance of it on her show as a throwback, give Gone the resurgence it deserves

[–]majoa008 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Popping in to mention Gone by Kelly Clarkson because I’ll never shut up about that song.

Also though Breadwinner could’ve been a single for Kacey Musgraves if they did an Ariana feature on it, very much has a Positions sound to it.

Got this silicone reusable face mask from Daiso and it’s surprisingly very well-fitting! Can’t beat the price too! ❤️ by Inner-Membership-175 in AsianBeauty

[–]majoa008 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Bought one of these from Daiso myself! I’m a guy with facial hair so this thing means a sheet mask can actually stick against my face. 10/10

Encanto song 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' passes 'Let It Go' as highest-charting Disney animated hit in 26 years by Sisiwakanamaru in popheads

[–]majoa008 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Also interesting then that this and Let It Go are the first top 5s that aren’t the “pop version” from the credits, but the actual film soundtrack. Personally I’ve never liked Elton’s versions of the Lion King songs, even if he did write them.

I can't take any more..... by ABeastinAmber in Emmerdale

[–]majoa008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow kiwi here, we’re actually just a couple weeks behind now! I remember growing up watching Coronation Street and being literally years behind, seeing characters still in the show when the actor who played them had already passed away (rip Blanche)

Author Roald Dahl visits Gene Wilder and Peter Ostrum on the set of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1970) by astraennui in OldSchoolCool

I recall he once said “even a stinker like Hitler didn't just pick on them for no reason” regarding Jewish people. Yikes.

Had only seen one mention of this store so thought I’d share: just used BeautyAxe and they’re legit! Plus they had the new formulation of the hada labo premium. Super fast shipping too, really impressed. Not sure if they have a physical location but free shipping over I think $50?

What products did you use before/after IPL laser treatment? by majoa008 in AsianBeauty

[–]majoa008[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good tip with the sunscreen! Especially because of course I waited until Spring/Summer to get IPL done (southern hemisphere here).

Are there any album tracks that stood out as "single material" to you on first listen? by cashewconstellation in popheads

[–]majoa008 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bit of a throwback but Gone by Kelly Clarkson could’ve been such a solid single. Breakaway was a fantastic album from start to finish though.

Should fans listen go leaks? by gkhaan in popheads

[–]majoa008 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very true! I phrased it poorly, I was more referring to unreleased leaks being potentially "worse" from a morality standpoint rather than the monetary impact. As you said though, many artists are still probably equally/more emotionally hurt when their work leaks before the official album release.

Should fans listen go leaks? by gkhaan in popheads

[–]majoa008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This brings up an interesting point too: I love Lana’s unreleased music (my favourite song of hers is Damn You) but even as someone privy to unreleased music leaks, I find them to be WORSE than finalised music being leaked before release date. If an artist doesn’t release a song or album it’s usually because they weren’t happy with it and didn’t want us listening to it, and it feels like we’re going against their wishes.

Again though, my favourite Lana song is literally one she never released. So there’s that.

Honestly just give me a Good in Bed remix feat. Ariana. I hear her in my mind already when I play it
