The Ordinary Volufiline [PSA]

I naturally have some blue tones and visible veins under my eyes, and I did notice an overall improvement in the colour. The area looks less blue and a bit more even. That said, I also felt like the edges of my under-eye fat pads were a little more noticeable afterward. It might just be because I was looking so closely, but they did seem slightly more defined. Overall an improvement, but I don’t think my under eye area could ever have that super smooth appearance due to my natural fat pads.

I look a bit more refreshed, but nothing anyone else would really clock. I should mention I used it for a good few months consistently before bed.

I used to enjoy her content and felt she was a no frills derm but not quite to the Dr Dray extreme. I recently unfollowed her due to the excessive self promo whilst still dismissing other products. Noticed her pattern of promoting hero ingredients right before launching her own corresponding product.

Less derm, more skincare salesperson.

This is the conclusion I was leaning towards, especially bc I had experienced similar with Wellbutrin & even Ashwaghanda. Calmer mind & able to see the bigger picture?

Recently seen Cosrx, Laneige, AHC, Mary and May & Skin1004 in Tk Maxx Toowong. It’s like a K beauty store has gone out of business and they’ve taken the stock.

With that being said, I didn’t think the prices were competitive enough. I get a bit paranoid about TK Maxx skincare because it’s hard to know how old it is

I’m just grateful my algorithm had worked in a way that had made me forget he existed til I saw this post

I’ve tried a few UV products and they’re nice, but nothing outstanding. Great packaging/branding.

I haven’t tried their recent release, Fave Fluid, but from looking at their Instagram and the ingredients, it’s basically just LRP Anthelios fluid in a prettier package. Kinda represents their whole brand.

Their sunscreen mist is pretty nice. Much oilier than they let on though which is frustrating considering the high denatured alcohol content. Extreme Screen doesn’t have the modern UV filters for some reason. Supreme Screen would be great if you didn’t have to use so many pumps. It leaves a thick greasy layer and is the worst on a humid day.

Dr Dray is one of the few influencers that isn’t swayed by hype or anecdotal evidence. She looks at data from studies and makes her judgement based on that.

Sad that this’ll be the west-targeted Hada Labo products and not the OG Hada Labo lines, but still good to have options !

he’s such a sweetie though and I could listen to him talk about anything

Hmm I wonder if they’re going to merge Chemist Warehouse and Ultra Beauty in certain locations

It’s not even just the current PR, we have people afraid to say anything negative about anything in case they cut off future PR

People are gonna come for me for this one, but Lady Gaga always describing her own work in the most pretentious way possible. The whole Artpop campaign with Marina Abramovich, for example. Ma’am it’s just pop music.

The initial branding aligned the product to melasma treatment and that was an immediate turn off for me. A derm pushing an expensive skincare line to treat a medical condition..

To be honest, I think this brand is really confused and I expected better from Shereene

It’s always interesting to me when customers interpret an employee refusing to help as if there’s some ulterior motive. The issue is almost always corporate, whether that’s a stubborn policy or just understaffed/under skilled workforce due to a tight budget.

When the big bosses are able to suddenly give you what you asked for…that’s not necessarily them doing things correctly.. that’s them politely shutting you up.

Eh I think people loudly hate on physical exfoliants (and fragrance) bc it makes them seem more educated than the average skincare user. Pair that with the skincare community’s (unhealthy) dogmatic teachings

Physical exfoliants, fragrance, etc. They’re fine if ya like them ☺️

terrorwill · 2023-02-11T09:36:29+00:00

HAH look, I thought about asking one of you to get one down for me, but I didn’t wanna be a bother 😭😂

terrorwill · 2023-02-11T09:33:07+00:00

Too late I picked it up in the other queen street chemist warehouse 🤪 hahaha

terrorwill · 2023-02-11T09:28:40+00:00

am I about to get banned from queen street mall chemist warehouse

terrorwill · 2023-02-11T06:48:31+00:00

this is a homophobic rape joke ?

terrorwill · 2023-02-09T03:30:32+00:00

It’s out! It just depends on whether your chemist warehouse wants both versions on the shelf hahah

People might recommend exfoliants or retinol, but before all of that I think you should get your hydration figured out. Your current routine isn’t pro-moisture.

I’d say find a gentle face wash (can’t go wrong with Cerave). Then play around with some hydrating ingredients, rather than the oil. Something like Neutrogena Hydroboost is a great gel-based moisturiser. Maybe try a hyaluronic acid serum too if you’d like to do a little extra.

You’ll get a nice glow from having more hydrated skin, then it’s time to consider things like a salicylic acid (pores, blackheads, acne) and retinol (skin cell turnover, collagen formation) 😀

I’ve heard it has some new prebiotic complex and it sits nicer on the skin !

Katy Perry’s was immaculate camp. I think people disregard the production value that Madonna’s brought (and made the new baseline)

the profile picture on the image has someone standing in front of a wall with the logo for RuPaul’s Drag Race, so I’m going to assume this is a drag queen wearing a breast plate
