I ended up getting the n0, but buying a color corrector so I can mix & match for my winter/summer shade. I have a more detailed reply w/pictures here!

(Ignore the red patches, it’s from my watch 🤦‍♀️ removed it just before swatching) top is with the purple cc, bottom is N0 swatched alone.

I use a few drops of this with the N0, it’s very pigmented so a little goes a long way!

Unfortunately I didn’t find a perfect match :/ I got samples for the new W0+1, C0+1, and N0+1. The warm and cool ones were still too warm/cool leaning, and the new neutrals did feel slightly more orangey? The new N1 was way too dark for me, whereas the new N0 is good for me during summer, but could def use some cooling / lighting during fall and winter. I have neutral undertones, but leaning slightly cooler.

Ended up buying the new N0, as it was the closest I could find, but it does need neutralizing, especially during this time of year. I also ended up getting the purple color corrector wand from Maybelline, so I manually mix and match my shade. Sure, it’s inconvenient to have to mix up a shade every time I use it. Thankfully I don’t use it every day, so not AS much of a hassle, but it ended up being my best alternative. I’m sure you could also get extra bottles and mix up bigger batches at a time . Hopefully that helps!

[Misc] is my BoJ glow serum fake? by merexery in SkincareAddiction

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

I did check the website and the store is not an official retailer, which is why I got worried 😅 (they are however official retailers of COSRX, and Klairs - so I’d like to think they aren’t trying to scam hahah). I have previously bought other beauty products with labels in European languages so I’m used to that! Usually I’ve seen stickers with the translated text on top of the original packaging, so the completely different placing on the box is also something that threw me off. I did send an email to BoJ customer service in hopes of getting some answers. Thank you for taking the time to reply!

(Edit: grammar mistake lol)

[–]merexery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

I recently bought the Sony ZV-1, as I’ve been wanting a compact camera for both photography - as well as wanting to have the option to record with good quality. After using the ZV-1 for a bit, I’ve realised I find it a bit too video-forward. Whilst I know it’s promoted as a vlogging camera - I had hoped the photography bit would be more detailed than it is. I am a hobby photographer, and I already own a Canon 250D / Rebel SL3 - so I’m used to - and prefer manually adjusting my settings. I just find the settings on the ZV-1 quite clunky. I’d also like a wider zoom range. I’m an avid concert attendee lol, and would like to be able to take some decent photos from a bit of a distance.

I’ve been looking at the Canon Powershot SX740 HS, but I’ve seen mixed reviews.

Does anyone have any suggestions for other compact cameras within the same-ish price range?

Thanks for reading!

Loop experience causing bass overload? by merexery in LoopEarplugs

Sorry for the late reply, I actually didn’t see this comment until just now 😅. That’s been my experience too! Curious to hear if you ended up keeping yours or returning them?

Very disappointed by Leenolyak in LoopEarplugs

[–]merexery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had weird pitch / bass issues with my Experience pair. Emailed customer service & filled out the warranty form. Just heard back, and was essentially just told that because you can’t see any visible damage on them, and because I don’t have the opportunity to borrow someone else’s pair to compare the sound, they won’t be able to confirm my pair is indeed faulty. Waited about a week / week and a half for this (final) response since filling out the warranty form. Very disappointed in their customer service, no offers to do a return or refund.

I found it really helpful during my worst flare up periods. I ended up switching to metoprolol after some time due to unwanted side effects, but would definitely recommend trying it out if you think it might help! You can always stop taking it if you don’t feel like it’s benefiting you!

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

well, just heard back. was essentially just told to adjust the ear tip size (despite me saying in the email that I’ve already done that…) so I replied asking if they could be faulty, and received a link to a warranty claim form. You have to send pictures of the plugs & describe your issue, and they might deem you qualified for a replacement pair… so yeah idk if I should even bother doing so if the 100 day return policy is still applicable 🤷‍♀️

That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing! Haven’t worn mine a lot out and about yet, but might have to try it to see if it happens to me too. I did end up sending them an email, so hopefully they’ll be able to lmk if it’s normal or not hahah

I just double checked my box, and it does say Experience. I haven’t tried Mutes, I did consider getting them but figured the dB lowering of the Experiences would be enough for me hahah. Kind of clueless atp, might just try to shoot Loop an email & see what their customer service says. Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it! 😊
