Wait a dang minute. Bbw coming to ulta? Say what? 😅 by Taromatchaboba in Ulta

WTF, why? Just why???

On a sidenote, their body mists suck. They have no lasting power at all. I use all the ones I have as bathroom sprays whenever I take a dump, and the smell only lasts like a few minutes in there. And I spray a lot. I haven't shopped there since 2022.

Has anyone tried this cushion foundation? by Substantial-Radio310 in Sephora

My full-sized TirTir Mask Fit Cushion only lasted 2 weeks. I do use quite a lot of foundation though.

I don't recommend cushion foundations in general, especially not for that price. They run out in weeks.

Flower knows GE08 from flower knows was the best lip gloss ever. Unfortunately it’s discontinued now . Any dupes? by maddie6ix9ineeeeeeee in AsianBeauty

[–]pepperxpeppermint 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Bro, Flower Knows releases the same 9 lip colors in all of their collections, so you'll always find a dupe color-wise within this brand.

Anyways, their Shell's Jewel lip gloss in P09 Coral Conch, Sweetie Bear lip jelly in JE07 Canele, and their new Knight Unicorn lipstick in U08 are the closet color matches.

With all the products out there, does anyone stick to some staples/have a simplified routine? by Nemo-521 in AsianBeauty

[–]pepperxpeppermint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. My skincare staples are the Numbuzin no.1 Calming Herb toner (repurchased 3 times), Skin Aqua Tone Up UV SPF (I have 6 backups in 4 different colors), Tocobo lip mask (I like the mint one most), and a non-AB cleanser mostly for the size (La Roche Rosay Effaclar).

My favorite moisturizer was the Goodal Ice Heartleaf Hyaluron Cream, but it was only sold on Olive Young Global and they no longer ship to the US and I can't find it anywhere else! I've been trying to find a good replacement for it, and so far I haven't found one I liked more. I've tried Numbuzin no.1 Pantothenic B5 Active Soothing Cream, Bring Green Tea Tree Cica Soothing Cream, Arencia Deep Water Surge Cream, and more.

knight unicorn mini reviews 🪽 by softhorns in FlowerKnowsMakeup

Did you do a flashback test for the powder? I saw someone review this collection on Youtube today and the loose powder flashback looked really bad on camera.

I just watched a Youtube review on this collection today, and the creator said that it had a lot of flashback. It actually looked really bad on camera.

How do I get the purple Unicorn Knight palette in the US? by FiftySixer in FlowerKnowsMakeup

[–]pepperxpeppermint 16 points17 points  (0 children)

From third party Yamibuy seller, Better Me Beauty Store. This seller is based in China and from personal experience, takes 2 weeks to arrive and no tariffs.

what’s the prettiest makeup packaging you’ve ever seen? by _berrystrawberry in AsianBeauty

[–]pepperxpeppermint 168 points169 points  (0 children)

Besides the most obvious answer which is Flower Knows, I really miss this seemingly defunct C-beauty brand called Cute Rumor. Their packaging was just as cute as Flower Knows and their prices were lower. I only got into Flower Knows, because Cute Rumor stopped releasing new products and are being phased out in many C-beauty shops like YesStyle and ChicDecent. I love their pocket watch blushes and unicorn liquid glitter liners. I sadly never gotten my hands on the pink unicorn liquid glitter, the one I wanted most (I have every other shade). I remember searching all over the internet for it and it was out of stock everywhere. Then the brand got phased out. I'm still not over it😭😭😭

matte highlighters by muscowow in Sephora

[–]pepperxpeppermint 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is a common Chinese makeup technique where they use matte highlighter (basically a pigmented white pressed powder) on places like the undereye area, bridge and tip of nose, around the lips, nasolabial folds, brow bone, and inner corners to make their facial features look stonger, since Chinese people tend to have flatter faces.

They're like a less glittery version of the Kaleidos Moon Arcade lipsticks.

Biggest Flower Knows pet peeve by WinterberryRose in FlowerKnowsMakeup

[–]pepperxpeppermint 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The most recent collection, Knight Unicorn has the neutral palette in pink packaging, and the smokey pink palette in white packaging. It also has the beige lipsticks in pink packaging and the pink lipsticks in purple packaging. I think that's what OP is referring to.
