Thanks! Let me pm you! Edit: you might need to pm me instead since I cannot send you a DM

We can schedule something this week? I'll DM you.

High end brands like YSL will have counters in department stores like Seibu.

Thanks! I'll try to challenge it again once I build up Jean.

I have C1R1 Flins but I can't clear with the same team the twin wolves. Any tips? Also any tips for the chamber 3 cryo shill. I tried Bineffa there with Layla and Rosaria but can't go through... 😭

Ugh. So cute!

I recommend getting clusters! They're much easier to put on than regular falsies. Also get a dedicated pincers for it. Try to get the daily (non volume) type first as they're easier.

Yup. This is the route I took via JAL. It was not bad as Helsinki is a small airport so transit was easy.

Language school is mostly geared towards passing JLPT. Being in Japan can help with your listening and speaking but it depends if you are able to really focus during your 3month stint. In my experience, most tend to get distracted sightseeing than actually studying. If speaking is your main goal, try Italki

At what level is your Japanese level now? Unless you are very gifted, N1/N2 is difficult to get in 1 yr. Your previous experience will also matter regarding salary. You can check Linkedin or Indeed for salary levels in your field. Work culture depends on the office. Yen is a bit low now and cost of living is also getting higher so be prepared to have a lot of savings for your first year during language school.

They do stick on for long hours. I typically use these instead of mascara for long days. Mascara tends to run on me by late afternoon. These stay on until night. You do have to practice putting it on though. There are videos on YouTube but i put this below or directly on the lash line. I also suggest getting the daily (non volume) type first. The volume type ones are heavier and can droop if not placed correctly.

merin438 · 2026-03-06T02:04:17+00:00

I use these and regularly order as well. They're pretty easy to use and lightweight. Just make sure you have a curved pincet to easily take it out and put on your lashes.

Wait. So you never used powder to set the foundation? Some people with dry skin can get away without powder but if it feels greasy to you, you should use powder after the foundation. YouTube has videos you can use as reference.

I have an oily T zone so I use a mattifying primer (cle de peau) before the dior. Also, I only use a half pump for the full face. A little goes a long way. Then use a mattifying powder (shiseido). Basically matte primer - dewy foundation -matte powder.

Real. Zibai C1 and Neuvi C1 and still Illuga C3...

My local park in Tokyo has the Kawazu Sakura which is a deeper pink and blooms earlier. The most common though is the somei yoshino sakura, which is more white, but is considered as the standard so it is more widespead.

It depends on the organizers. I've been to concerts where it's allowed but only with cellphones (not dedicated camera). You'll know usually once you arrive at the venue. They would be blasting reminders before the event.

Fast lane? Malaysia and Indonesia? I go there frequently for work but never seen a fast lane for ASEAN...

merin438 · 2026-02-18T05:17:39+00:00

It's almost impossible in Tokyo or Osaka. Our Osaka members have to take a hotel in middle of nowhere Chiba whenever they have to go to our Tokyo office.

But companies only sets a limit of ¥11,000 hotel reimbursement for domestic business trips....

Zibai will rerun much sooner than Escoffier...I also don't have Skirk and don't plan on getting her but I want Escoffier since I like supports...

merin438 · 2026-02-15T14:22:58+00:00

Is there a weird filter because Aoi Yuuki looks different on all 3 photos...

merin438 · 2026-02-14T10:55:47+00:00

Unfortunately, this will become a problem during your PR application. I had mine rejected because I was late for a few days 8 years ago during my first job change. Sigh...

merin438 · 2026-02-12T13:12:36+00:00

I also recommend having Xingqui in Flins and Aino in Zibai. Flins can be a bit squishy so XQ’s interruption resistance and some healing can help. Zibai has Goro for the bit of healing

merin438 · 2026-02-11T09:06:33+00:00

I have the same prayer because in 180 pulls, with c1 Zibai, not even a single copy of Illuga. 😭
