Ladies!! I’m just curious!

If given the chance, what products from abroad 🇹🇭🇨🇳🇯🇵 do you wish were available in the PH market? 👀
It can be anything beauty, skincare, body care, makeup, hair care, personal care, or even unique products that you don’t usually see here in the Philippines!

I’ve been wanting to discover and try more unique products from Thailand, China, and Japan, so I’d love to hear your recommendations! even if it’s a product that went viral, a hidden gem, something you always ask your friends abroad to buy for you, or something you wish was easier to get here in the PH. 🇵🇭
Drop the product name, brand, or even a photo/video if you have one! 👇🏻💕

Hindi talaga ako make-up girl, mainly because I don’t really know how to do makeup. But lately, I’ve been wanting to wear fake eyelashes for a change.
I’ve tried eyelash extensions twice, and I think it’s safe to say they’re just not for me. (Di ko makuskos mata ko pag naliligo.) So I thought I’d give falsies a try instead.

My first purchase was the kind that required separate glue, which, obviously, I had no idea how to use. Then I came across this one during a live, it already had the glue, and watching the application looked so effortless. I thought, okay, this might actually work for me.
Well… not quite. 😭

Yung sa live parang grabe super effortless. Ang hirap pala! Test of patience ang ending. Haha! 🥲

At this point, I’m thinking I should just stick to mascara.
I’m also not exactly blessed with naturally long lashes, so I’ve been looking for a mascara that can really make a difference.

I recently tried JCMY, but it wasn’t quite for me. Parang mas noticeable yung effect on those who already have naturally long lashes, yung mga nakikita ko sa video reviews. Ganon.

So, ladies, what’s your holy grail mascara for short or not-so-blessed lashes?

I apologize for not having swatches on hand, but is it just me or mas prefer ko yung mga eyeliner pencils na need isharpen over sa retractable ones just because it technically has more product. Like as someone who uses eyeliner everyday, a pencil can last me a few months while yung retractable ones a few weeks lang lalo na pag nabali pag I accidentally dispense too much product. Hindi ako maarte sa brand or formula, mapa gel pencil yan or kohl pencil I will probably like it basta I love my pencil eyeliner and no body can pry it out of my hands hehe. Thank you kung sino man nag basa ng aking yap session. Forgot to mention I like dry but pigmented ones the most.
This is in no particular order but here are the ones I used:
- merzy gel pencil
- Issy gel pencil extreme
- sheglam
- everbilena kleopatra pencil
- Kiko everlasting kajal
- Maybelline tattoo gel pencil
- BYS

I did my nails today hehe but question tho, how do you guys strengthen your natural nails i know madami ang posted hacks online pero which yung na try niyo at nag work? I like my naturals nail long kass.

Let's take a break from beauty and talk about...anything else under the sun! Let this be your sounding board about the things that made you laugh, smile, or cry. Dating advice welcome. Politics...not really.

im in the shade medium light. i would reco this to girlies with clear skin kasi wala sya talagang coverage, it just brightens my face. parang my skin but better which is my preference talaga. hindi kasi ako ma-foundation so this one is just right for me.

i just use my bobbi brown corrector for undereye and then nars pot concealer if meron icoconceal. love this chanel base, super worth it!!!

as usual, i purchased this on my trusted ig shop.
i’m planning to buy the Chanel Water Fresh Blush too. any thoughts on that product. pls share!

I would have weeks of wearing plain solid polishes But when that first swipe of glitter polish hits, I’m reminded that I LOVE sparkles. ✨

Im wearing Zoya Pixie Dust in Tomoko.

So I go through a lot of toiletries and I was wondering if anyone knows which brands have a recycling program? I specifically mean where you bring empties to the store regardless if there’s an incentive or not. I’ve seen posts here about how they reuse/repurpose their empties but to be realistic, I’m really not gonna put alcohol in old spray bottles or plants in empty cleansing balm tubs. I simply wanna get rid of my trash

I only really know of Kiehl’s recycling program wherein you can bring in any Kiehl’s empties for them to recycle (if you bring in a certain number of full sized products, you get a travel sized freebie)

Bonus for fashion, if you bring in a bag of clothes to H&M (they don’t even have to be from there), they give you a P100 discount. I know Uniqlo also allows you to bring in old clothes but I’ve never tried so I’m not sure if they have to be Uniqlo brand or if you get anything in return

Been waiting for the Vinoperfect set to restock and nasaktuhan ko pa na naka-sale. I’m so happy. 🥹

What are your thoughts on the new Issy packaging?

While I liked the updated look, not a fan of how bigger/bulky it feels just because it’s harder to pack. So I decided to compared it with my older products and I was surprised to find that even though the packaging appears bigger, there’s actually less product inside now. And while making this post, also noticed shorter period after opening. I guess bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better.

Although maybe it’s not fair to compare because the products are not exactly identical anymore (hydrogloss v fat gloss, active concealer v fluid flex concealer).

Personally I prefer the older packaging and wish Issy would make them more compact again.
