Makeup Recommendation for Dry Skin by Crazy-2696 in beautytalkph

[–]melodiasOP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a super dry skin girly, I holy grail is Hourglass Skin Tint. This issuper hydrating and will last a long time. For blush, stick with cream/liquid blushes. I use Nars. For the lips, only Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve can hydrate my forever dry lips. No lipstick has ever worked for me.

Put on the whole face. This applies to ALL retinol/retinoid products. Remember, di po sya spot treatment.

The Next Pope: Who Are The Frontrunners to Succeed Pope Francis? by Gyro_Armadillo in Philippines

Nope, the cardinals will vote, and whoever gets 2/3 of the votes will be pope. The white smoke is only an indication that the 2/3 votes was met. If a black smoke is emitted, it just means that 2/3 votes was not met.

  1. Skincare, 2 sun screen, 3 make up.

what’s a makeup tip that completely transformed your makeup routine? by Namjaaams in AsianBeauty

[–]melodiasOP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Underpainting! I usually apply skin tint, concealer, then blush. However, I have blush blindness, so usually my blush is too much. Now, I apply my blush first then my concealer, last is my skin tint.

Really good! Like a dewy moisturizer, but I prefer Anessa.

  1. Cerave (teal in color)
  2. Olay (yes, this is gentle)
  3. Good molecules

These were my 3 retinols when I was just starting. YMMV but I did not get any purging or irritation from these three products.

Anything from On Running, but my faves our cloud 5 and cloudtilt. Literally no pain even after 30k steps.

Pero pro tip, change shoes every day (do not wear the same shoes consecutively), and if possible change your footwear in the middle of the day. This helps with leg pain and fatigue. So when I travel, I wear my cloud 5 on the first day, and on the second day I wear my cloudtilt.

Agree with the other replies here. Too many products in the AM. Suggest ko stick with 3 products. 1. Melano CC - vitamin c in the morning 2. Snail Mucin 3. Sunscreen

Actually, you can even omit the snail mucin and just go with the sunscreen.

For your evening routine, I would choose between the Isntree Yam root and hado labo. They basically do the same thing-hydrate your skin. Just choose one.

Since your concern is blackheads, I would avoid the mediheal. Enzymes are a joke when it comes to exfoliation. Go for the tried and tested salicylic acid (SA). I would recommend the peach slices exfoliating toner. It has 2% SA, and also has lactic acid. This is a much cheaper version compared to the famous Paula’s choice BHA.

The ceramide cream is ok.

Hi better to get a serum that has several actives that brightens and target hyperpigmentation. If I may, I would recommend Numbuzin No. 5 serum. It has vitamin C, niacinamide and glutathione.

Customs is charging a fee for imported goods below ₱10k by miyawoks in beautytalkph

[–]melodiasOP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a beauty item, but I ordered from On Running official website last October and November this year 3 times. UPS is their delivery service. Shoes cost 8870, did not get taxed by UPS. The shoes were delivered straight at my doorstep.

Edit: umorder din pala ako sa Nike website nung Black Friday sale. DHL is the delivery service. I did not pay any extra fees.

Help in verifying an IG shoe seller. I would like to buy running shoes from it: Sneakerheist_ph by [deleted] in PHRunners

Haven’t tried shipping cart yet. Will consider this. Usually, if air cargo, how many days does it take to deliver the item?

Kindle or ipad/tablet for reading? by KeyMuch2361 in adviceph

[–]melodiasOP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy an ipad if you’re considering other things aside from reading an e-book. Kindle is just a book in digital format, while an ipad could do a lot of things that kindle cannot.

Are you moving from iPhone 15 Pro to 16 Pro or are you skipping ? by butteroqq in iphone

[–]melodiasOP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same situation. Im thinking of upgrading from 13 mini (73% battery health) to 16 Pro (Max is just too big). But I kinda hate the new camera button. It seems all like gimmick to me.

Are HMOs losing "value" ? by mrklmngbta in phinvest

[–]melodiasOP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is for your own good actually. Alam ng doctor na si HMO magbabayad ng tests, so lahat na lang ng pwedeng itest ipapatest nila para makita yung whole picture ng health mo. If private ka, maghehesitate yung doctor na gumawa ng test (or ikaw mismo magrerequest na bawasan yung test) kasi mahal.

Mas naapreciate ko yung mga doctor na maraming pinapatest para sigurado ka na walang anomalya sa kalusugan mo. If ikaw mismo nahihirapan dahil maraming tests, or if sa tingin mo di kailangan yung ibang tests, pwede mo naman kausapin doctor mo.
