here's a helpful video by amaka on tiktok! a lot of people say fino for high porosity and tsubaki for low porosity :)

thanks for the insight and clarification! how frequent is too frequent po for the average performance ng mga preservatives in your opinion? also for my better understanding lang po, if the observation lasts 28 days, are you observing the microbial reduction over the span of 28 days if left unused or re-inoculating the microbes regularly and monitoring if namamatay between each use yung microbes? tyia :)

definitely helps to determine your hair porosity first!

parang ewan talaga tong si mommy bahala ka po tigyawatin

it's alright to be dismissive of this particular practice. if your problem is the fan blowing the serum in another direction, then just dispense the serum onto your hands, there's no reason padin to touch the dropper to your face. moreover, even with washing, you're not taking into account the skin microbiome (layer of bacteria), which will and should be there even after washing. kahit beneficial bacteria pa yan pag nasa face mo, it's still bacteria that's not supposed to be in the serum and it's still bacteria that can proliferate and affect the formula negatively. toner application even with clean cotton balls won't clean your face, i don't know why you even had to mention that. these formulations can handle the brief air contact that is unavoidable with dropper-type serums as well as accidental and rare incidences of the dropper accidentally coming into contact with something that it's not supposed to but it seems like touching the dropper to your face is a regular AND intentional occurrence so your serums are probably contaminated and degraded to a significant degree na and you're not getting all the benefits you can from the serum anymore

meh formulas but very nice shade selection especially sa lippies! i feel like that's their only other selling point aside from aesthetics😭 where else can you find an actual selection of nudes and muted shades sa local market? ngayon ngayon palang tinatapatan ng other brands

this is what my brows look like filled in for your reference! and to see if it matches with your preferences

i have the same problem! i only fill in the sparse part sa inner end ng kilay ko with a grey eyebrow pencil para mukhang natural tsaka wala na me masyado pinoproblema idrawing, i just make a line to mark kung san ba dapat yung edge (red) ng eyebrow ko if it was "complete" tapos i lightly fill them in from there until macover na yung sparse na part (up to green edge) then blend the filled in part into your actual brow and also feather the edges out sa may skin na part with a spoolie para di mukhang block brows :) sounds like a lot of steps but it takes a minute or two max with an eyebrow pencil hehe

swear by ct sunkissed glow cream bronzer!

skinfluencers that touch the serum dropper directly to their face😭😭😭😭 delete ur account

+1 tirtir!

colourette as a gift for beginners!

any reviews on the chanel lip and cheek balm? oily ba tingnan? does it move your base makeup? better for no makeup days or versatile? i prefer wearing base makeup kasi everyday and not sure if i should buy or parang sayang lang kasi pot lang yung nagpacute

kaleidos lip clay!!! check the polar placid collection

fav skincare primers? like merit great skin, rhode glazing milk, etc.

heart evangelista has always been very pretty kaso i hate the way they do makeup on her now...... kahit anong ad she appears in pa its always the same (bad) sunkissed style

i wish there was a local brand that made reliable poly gel nail products! puro 🇨🇳 nakikita ko online and idk which ones perform okay

sorry for the hassle😭 thank you!

i recommend using a good clay mask to reduce the appearance of your pores and consequently reduce sebum production as well but i think most base products nowadays claim to be perfecting anyway so primers aren't as popular and needed as they used to be 🤷‍♀️ i'd recommend the danessa myricks blurring balm powder in universal though as a primer or get the tinted one to use as a base product! 10/10 for pore blurring though the tinted ones have mixed reviews, though they perform just fine in my opinion

which performs better between ct and natasha denona for you po? i've been deciding between these two and pmg but they all have good reviews😭

do you think numbuzin is up there with tirtir, skin1004, and roundlab as a brand?

hi! got mine from ozsarisariph on orange app

started using the lanolips golden dry skin miracle salve and it has worked absolute WONDERS for my lips na lagi kong pinipick yung balat, sa kakaganon ko nagkaron na ng mga red patches yung lips ko and they always peel in those exact same patches pag nagheheal and i keep peeling them off lang kaya hindi gumagaling yung patches fully. eto yung klase ng patches na sobrang tingkad pag naglilip tint or stain ka tapos minsan textured na dryness pa, yung medyo putok yung patches sa sobrang sugat. just within days, nawala dryness ng lips ko and nagheal yung patches without any sort of peeling of extra skin. gumaling lang siya and my lips are even toned na and i can use lip stains without worrying about how it looks with the patches

my milk makeup lip + cheek stick from back when they were jumbo sized! wish they didnt price their new original the same as their old original cos its so mini na now
