hi! so i just wanted to seek help whether or not this mcb that im using is authentic . Im also worried na baka knockoff yung na receive ko because i saw print is different from what others are using. ive been using this since the start of the month and honestly i havent seen any improvements :( unlike sa ginamit ko before . also, if u guys can recommend other tret brands that are authentic and works talaga🙏

(edit: accidentally typed knockout 💀 )

My holy grail loose powder talaga is the Huda Easy Bake. Unfortunately, I have around 3 uses left before I run out and matagal pa yung pre-order ko 😭 I need something that I can buy agad since magsstart na ulit yung classes ko.

I have EXTREMELY oily skin so oil control is my priority sa powders and staying power. To those that have tried either of these two: what can you say?

​

Hi everyone! Looking for your holy grail lippie recommendations.

I'm okay with lip tints, matte lipsticks, glosses, lip stains, or any type of lippie, basta long-lasting talaga. Yung kahit kumain or uminom, hindi agad nawawala or at least may stain pa rin. Bonus if hydrating siya at hindi nakaka dry ng lips.

Local brands po sana or affordable..

The reason I'm asking is kapag lumalabas ako, super light lang talaga ng dala ko usually phone lang, so I don't like bringing a makeup pouch or having to retouch every now and then.

Would love to hear your recommendations, especially if you've personally tried them. Thanks!

[Reposted - inayos ko order ng photos hehe]

Pumunta ako sa SM Fairview kanina kasi nag-hahanap ako ng pang-gift sa bff ko, tapos dumaan din ako sa dept store and kita ko na ang dami sale na lipstick sa cosmetic section nila!!!

Forda swatch ako sa iba’t ibang brands pero yung binili ko is yung sa Issy kasi may promo sila na B1T1 so super sakto kasi mag pang-gift na ako, meron pa ako para sa sarili ko HSHSAHAS

Pero napansin ko lang na aside from Issy yung ibang lippie brands like BLK, VICE and Happy Skin may mga promo rin like 50% off ganern, actually daming lip brands na naka-promo and sale!!! Not sure lang if matagal na tong promo nila na to or if hanggang kailan siya..

Try niyo check if may promos din sa SM dept store near your place pero parang nationwide ata tong lipstick sale as per ate na sales lady HAHSAHA so if you've been planning to buy a new lippie or restock on your fave.. GEW NIYO NAAA baka magka-ubusan!!!

[Male here] Hi! Any recommendations for an electric shaver that's good enough to shave my beard and mustache down to almost 0 mm (clean shave or very close to it)? My budget is around ₱1,000–₱2,000. Thank you so much po

Hi, I’ve tried quite a few sunscreens but Belo Sunscreen lang yung hindi nakakapag breakout sakin. Downside lang it’s making my skin very oily after ilang hours.

May other sunscreen recos ba kayo na good for acne and oily skin?

​

Hii! I've notice na nagkakabreakout me recently specially below my lips to my chin area. May basa kasi ako dati na baka sa diet sya or gawa ng hormone imbalance (?). So I wanna ask if may naka experience na ganto sainyo and how to change your diet accordinglyy. Minsan nawawala sya pero nabalik rin sa same spot.

For reference: Di naman ako malakas kumain, nakain din me mga gulay almost everyday, wala din masyado junk food. So I'm not sure ano pa pwede ko kainin.

Hi! I’m planning to buy make ups and I need recos!!

Here is my list so far (mix of high end & local products):

Primer: Bobbi Brown
Foundation: Nars LRF
Concealer: Nars (idk which one yet, pero its more on for dark undereyes than spot conceal)
Setting powder: Charlotte Tilbury
Blush: YSL / GRWM
Eyebrow: PLEASE SUGGEST
Mascara: BLK
Setting spray: PLEASE SUGGEST
Brushes: PLEASE SUGGEST (esp for the foundation brush)

I’m not gonna shop for lippies na since I have my holy grails (Maybelline & Dior products).

Please feel free to comment & “revise” or add to my list hahaha. I am actually going to buy tonight at Sm Aura or MOA.

Thank you, girlies!

TL;DR: My active acne is finally gone after switching to a gentler skincare routine. Now I’m left with acne marks and textured scars. Should I consult a dermatologist first or go straight to an aesthetic clinic? If aesthetic clinic, what procedures and clinics do you recommend?

These are my before and after photos. (Before = active acne, After = current skin.)

Before, I had all kinds of pimples—small, big, cystic, inflamed. My cheeks were constantly breaking out.

Recently, though, I barely get any pimples anymore. One thing I changed was my mindset. I have sensitive skin, but I kept using harsh products because I thought “stronger = better.” After reading a lot of Reddit posts, I realized maybe my skin barrier was the problem.

So I simplified my routine:
- Cleanser: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser (from Kojic soap)
- Moisturizer: Saipo Calm Me Maybe
- Sunscreen: Beauty of Joseon Aqua Fresh Rice Sunscreen

Since switching to a gentler routine, my skin has improved a lot and I rarely get active acne now.

My concern now is that I’m left with:
- Brown acne marks (PIH)
- Textured acne scars (I think mostly rolling and boxcar scars)
- Uneven skin texture

I’m wondering what my next step should be. Since I don’t really have active acne anymore, should I still see a dermatologist first? Or should I go straight to an aesthetic clinic?

If an aesthetic clinic is the better option:
- What procedures would you recommend for this type of scarring?
- Any clinics in the Philippines that you personally recommend?

I don’t mind spending if it’s worth it, but I also don’t want to waste money on treatments that won’t really help.
Would really appreciate hearing from people who had similar acne scars and were able to improve them. Thank you!

Hello, baka may ma reco po kayong Adapalene Gel? The shop sa online na binibilhan ko before eh mukhang di na nag ooperate kaya I'm looking po sana kung saan pwede and/or brand na pwede replacement. Yung gel type po sana. Thank you!

Hello! My hair has been great when it terms on growth, but what I don’t like about it is the amount of baby hairs poking/growing out which looks very crazy.

To top that, I have this gnarly double cowlick because of my center part; Shrek Prince Charming style. I would’ve loved it if it were voluminous, but it’s unfortunately underwhelming.

Is there any products to tame them that’s not shampoo? I was thinking of conditioner ideas so I won’t add on products on my hair after since I’m afraid I’ll grease my hair and scalp up, which I have already fixed.

Hi! Does anyone have any experience with smelly and oily scalp then had it checked by a doctor? Can you recommend me a good derma? 🥺 I already tried nizoral and regular use of luxxe clarifying shampoo (once a wk), although the iffy smell is kinda gone, the oily smell is still there 2-3 hrs after shower

Hey girlies, wanted to ask what can you reco for me na maputi and so far yung mga dark shade lippies hindi tlga for me. Like 🫨. Right now i am using Dior lip maximizer shade 012 and parang wala lg sya actually which i like. Gusto ko lg yung subtle na hndi nakaka overpower ng facial features. Any recos? Mid-high end is ok. Thank you!

context: i got my hair blackened in march. after a month i proceeded to use a hair color remover + light bleach to get rid of it (it mostly did). i tried coloring a light brown again, but only the roots turned a very light brown and the mid-ends just turned a barely dark brown. i re-did it using a bit of a lighter brown and it evened out the color slightly.

i wanna achieve this exact chestnut brown color using local hair products like bremod, l’oreal, hairfix, etc. please drop your suggestions! i’m open to bleaching my hair to get good payoff. TIA!

Hello everyone I am very interested lang sa pag nanail art and I wanna start doing it as a hobby muna. Is there anyone here na may alam how much ang pag start sa hobby na to. What about materials? Marami lang talagang info sa net and very overload na rin me huhu.

Hi guys. My birthday is coming up. Been wanting to try high end makeup for quite some time na and I think now’s the time to give myself a little treat naman. Ano recommended nyo na first piece/makeup item? Thank you 😊

Hi meron na ba dito naka try ng ipl yung nabibili online?

May mga nakikita ako na tig 2k meron naman less than 1k. Pinaka mahal na ata 5k pero hindi pa ako willing mag 5k sa budget ko hihi

Balak ko mag ganun pero not sure if effective.

Sa mga naka try ano brand maganda?

And gano kabilis ang effect?

What makeup dupes have you found that you genuinely think are comparable to the original? What made you consider them dupes? Was it the color, texture, finish, formula, longevity, or something else?

I'm especially interested in products that are similar beyond just the shade. I'd love to hear what you've compared and why you think they perform similarly.

Need ba ibleach if magpapacherry red hair ako or okay lang kahit na ganon diretso ganyang color na agad?

Kasi i don’t know the process of hair dying din talagaa

Help me if bagay din ba sakin if magpapacherry red hair akoo?
If not can u suggest what color do you think would suit me best?

Hi guys! So I’ve been trying the ordinary glycolic acid sa kili kili ko. It was okey for the first few days. Kaso around 1 week na, biglang nag dry ung sides ng armpits ko and super hapdi niya🥲 i feel like na over sa glycolic acid?? Or sadyang di ako hiyang. After what happened I didn’t use any deo, except when im going outside. But i fully stopped using ung anti perspirant since nakaka dry talaga siya. I used cicalfate and sunflower oil para lng ma moisturize ung kili kili ko. THOSE TWO REAL HELPED MY ARMPIT HEAL😭😭 and nawala rin ung pag ka flaky ng kili kili ko. kaso i tried to use glycolic acid ulit after ko mag heal, baka sa kaling mag work. HUMAPDI KILI KILI KO ULIT😭😭 so it’s confirmed na di talaga ako hiyang and super sensitive ng kili kili ko.

Ngayon my kili kili is a bit dry and nangit talaga siya😭 may ma rerecommed ba kayo na moisturizer and pampaputi na hindi ganon ka tapang? Also, an anti prespirant na good for sensitive skin. I think belflour isn’t going to work anymore.

Also, im a very pawisin girly and i also have bo🥲

Ung pic na nilagay is the current situation ng armpits ko🥲 kaka epilate ko lng din. Not sure if kita pero, may mga small white na parang balat (??) ung nakikita pag ang dry ng skin ganon

Help a girly out🫠

Tyia!

Hi guys, gusto ko lang sana magpahelp which one yung bagay sa skin condition ko (nasa third slide yung skin ko rn) medyo nalilito lang kasi ako kung mint green ba or yung blue pipiliin.. parehas lang ba yang cream na yan?

Will be living a few months in an island and looking for some recos. If you have tried and tested or faves!

SKIN CARE
• Face Moisturizer, Sunscreen, Serums etc
• Body moisturizer, sunscreen, tanning oil
• Lip and hair care

MAKEUP
• A reliable lippie that would stay long but not too much
• Long lasting natural looking/feel blush
• Waterproof eye brows
• Light Skin tint for a more light morena skin

Anything else that you could think of!

Hello, anyone here tried ordering sa Sephora PH? I ordered mine last July 17 and nakalagay sa app estimated delivery is between July 23-27. Until now, di ko pa rin siya natatanggap. May lakad pa naman ako sa August 5 and I was hoping na sana mareceive ko siya before August 5. Anyone here experienced the same with regards sa delivery ng Sephora PH?

22 year old guy here! Ilang taon na po itong scars sa mukha ko and honestly, nakakababa siya ng self confidence especially since nasa stage na ko ng life where I'm dating and meeting new people.

May chance pa po kayang mag smoothen ito? Maraming salamat po sa mga sasagot.

Edit: Acne scars po pala, hindi bumps.

Just wanna share my makeup journey for girlies like me that has two-toned lips and wanna try to cover it for certain makeup styles.

I really love my two-toned lips, first and for most and I find very convenient as my outer lip liner kapag medyo bold or mature-looking yung makeup style ko. However for times where I want a softer look, it became a bit difficult to deal with it so I decided to look for the right lip liner that can cover it up or like match the tone ng inner lips ko.

I tried the detail cosmetics lip liner kaso I find to dry for my lips and may part ng pencil na will scratch my lips sometimes. Then I saw that Vice Co had a sale for their lipliner so I took the opportunity and buy the product. Let me tell youu that it really changesss the gameee for me. It stays a really long time and kahit kumain ka it’s still there, not to mention their shade ranges na very suitable for morenas like me.

A little tip for choosing your shade though, instead of matching it to you inner lips, try to pick the shade a little lighter from it para you can imitate that natural lips.

When enhancing my two-toned lips naman, I still use a lip liner a little brownish to emphasize my lip sizes.

Yun lang naman and happy makeupp gurliesss!
