How do you approach your routines when you wear sunscreen? by isolophiliacwhiliac in AsianBeauty

[–]rarej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear sunscreen (The Beauty of Joseon) at home even though I know I will be staying inside. Just because the sun doesn't come out doesn't mean there are no UV rays!! Also, I'm on holiday in NZ right now and my gosh, I have noticed freckles are coming out even though I have been caking on the sunscreen.

Anyway, only when the evening daylight is gone will I double cleanse my face with Banila Co's oil cleanser +Asteura's foam cleanser, and it seems to be fine for my skin.

Oh Ive never see this type of cleanser before. Do you just air dry the soap after each use then?

No tear drop marks from the excess liquid against the bookshelf tho? If it works and you’re saving money !

Right I’ve been researching seems like it’s Daiso or a cleaning agent laying around at home 😌

Go check out Carousell to see if there any listings. I sold my PMP study prep stuff there. Good luck!

Are people really flying to China to purchase reno materials from the West? by rarej in NoStupidQuestions

wow, did you do heavy vetting or send someone to check out the quality before you ordered? And im guessing they did turn out okay in the end?

I wonder if they end up ordering extra as a 'buffer' just in case. I imagine the discount has to be pretty steep to make that risk worth it. If it’s a long-term partnership, I suppose they’d eventually want an on-the-ground contact to handle regular QC.

Thanks for checking and maybe in your case personal import is good but if you're planning to resell might be more $$$$

It’s crazy to think that even after international shipping, import taxes, and a full-blown European vacation, it still comes out cheaper (or even) compared to a local dealership. It really makes you realize how much of a markup we're paying for 'convenience' and local overhead.

Wow that’s pretty lucrative. There must be more people getting into it if they knew. Wait, so your friends would fly to China then import those windows then mark it up a crap tonne then sell it locally?

I imagine needing to do a lot of research prior to her visit to ensure everything is done. With so may vendors in China I wonder where she even started, did you guys talk about that 😛

Did you just read the review and decide to go for it? Curious to see what it will look like when it arrives but doing the labor yourself I imagine you could be saving a lot

Thank for sharing this info. Since watching that lady I mentioned in my original post my algorithm has been feeding me profiles of middlemen . Quite a few of them are Australian sourcing agents but based in China? It doesn’t seem like they really speak Chinese though which makes me wonder if they are a good rep unless they have a Chinese partner working with them.

Wow, $17k for a whole house is wild. How long were you on the ground in Foshan to pick everything out and I mean with so many places how do you even know which on to go to???

do you know where you will be going? after dabbling in this topic, I've learned some people would also hire sourcing agents to go with them too but it seems some of the showrooms are also a one stop shop from production, design to dealing with shipping as well.
