I have oily, sensitive, acne skin. My top sunscreen under makeup is the litttlextra rice berry spf 50 sunscreen. It performs great even if I am wearing makeup. Over time, it actually brightens my skin, I’m not sure what’s in it, but I really like that. I have already used about 3 to 4 bottles of this sunscreen. Additionally, I also apply rice berry face moisturizer under it and it keeps my skin hydrated.
I would buy K-Beauty from Ulta or Target if the price was right, but there is something so satisfying about getting your K-beauty delivered directly from South Korea. ❤
Just wanted to respond to your comment about striving to have recommendations that span the breadth of your subscribers shopping preferences- thank you! That's one of many reasons why I lurk but watch all of your videos. It's such a thoughtful approach and that thoughtfulness is apparent in your content.
I think some people assume all lip balms are about glossy lips etc, when some are actual treatments, so give them a bad review because they're not giving the slick goopy shiny gloss. That Peach and Lily one sounds awesome!! I'm currently using the Torriden one, It has a lot of the serum ingredients in it also.
Alas, I think it may contain something I am allergic to :(. Will wait a bit, try again and see what happens. My skin has been very annoyed this year, think it has something to do with menopause (yay! /s).
I have to admit that I buy where the prices best. Back in the day when I would go to the department store and buy skin care and make-up the women who worked there were mostly aestheticians, and I really appreciated that extra level of service and knowledge. But it’s not like that anymore. I feel like I know more than pretty much everyone I encounter at a place like Ulta or Sephora. I’m very interested in the bubble oil cleanser, as well as the milk micellar water. That I definitely will try for mascara removal as an option to the Lancome bi-fase (?) product in the blue bottle that I have bought for decades. As always, thank you Alice and I think you should promote your membership program a little bit more. I didn’t even know about it and I think it’s a great way for people to support you.
Lol yep, I see this a lot on the skincare groups: comparisons to the Ron Swanson meme 🤣 it’s true though, especially as these stores hire folks to help customers in the *entire* store. I can’t imagine anyone being an expert in makeup, skincare, hair, nail, AND fragrance (on top of all the store policies as well?) Thank you for the encouragement! I had better ideas planned for the memberships prior to our very challenging summer, but hopefully I can get back on track with all of that. In the meantime, thank you for noticing it! 💕
Being British im afraid i cant shop Ulta, but if Boots or Superdrug started at reasonable prices i would be tempted when it comes to my holy grails and well trusted K and J beauty brands.
Not enough people are talk about Good Molecules’ Discoloration Correcting Body Treatment. It is so good that I’ve repurchased and am planning to order more in the future. Ingredient highlights: glycerin, ferments, tranexamic acid derivative, niacinamide, panthenol, LHA. It glides on easily, brightens, and helps control by body acne.
Oh thank you so much for mentioning this. I’ve been contemplating repurchasing innbeauty’s body serum, but predictably I would like to save $ (which can then buy tacos, of course). This sounds like it might compare!!
As someone who loves Holifrog, I think you should try both them and their affordable sister brand - Current State of Skin (found on the shelf in Target). Holifrog favs: Grand Amino Cream, Kissimme Cleansing Balm, Utopia Toner, Shasta Cleanser, Sunapee Powder Wash, Owel Eye Cream (the results from this were crazy!) - I've tried almost all of their products. Current State favs: Mega Moisture Cream, Salicylic Cleanser (I like that its in a creamy hydrating texture especially!) - I've only tried a few things from them.
Commenting for the algorithm and to say YES to patch testing!! I do it with all new skincare I try now, I feel like such a responsible adult person that has my life toghether when I put a little dab of something on my arm
I really disliked the soothing cream when I tried it in the winter but now I love it in the summer under sunscreen so here I am realizing that I don't always have extremely dry skin. 😅
Yuuup lol, the seasons make an impact!! Unless you’re really dry, then it’s just the difference between defaulting to hating a product in winter (I have to fight it) and being “okay” with it in summer lol!!
I am a seriously about to buy Ulta stock! Their addition of these Asian beauty brand is genius. I will pay a bit more for them here vs the Asian sites because I have the option to return if it doesn’t work out. Plus the Ulta points, coupons, and generous gifts with purchase. Omg, the ONLY thing Sephora has on Ulta is the in store samples and some higher end brands. They’re so stingy with sales and their return policy is only 30 days. Thanks for the 10x pint notice video. It made me place an order AND I got a nice sample set with purchase.
I recently bought Good Molecules Niacinamide and am totally pleased with it! Will be trying more of their products. I do trust you implicitly with your recs and experiences with all products! Thank you, Alice. I know you were tired, but did not look so. Love your sweet attitude, no matter how you feel. I hope things are settling a bit for you, ❤ personally.
I have been using the Manyo Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule for about nine months and it is one of my serums in constant use because I think my skin is better for it. I will but from Korean retailers because I like the search for deals. It just makes me happy to stretch my skincare budget.
Honestly excited for more kbeauty at Ulta. I like getting to build up points and get their GWP, plus quicker shipping/pickup options. I just have to hope someday the US will allow other countries SPF filters! 🤞
I hope so too. I sometimes sit around and imagine how game changing it would be (millions of Americans would go: “sunscreen can be this nice!?”) Make my dreams a reality, USA 🙏
I got the peach & lily lip balm during 10x points because i saw your story on insta. Im so glad i got it because i love it. It feels so nice on my lips and keeps them hydrated. I get super chapped lips and have tried many and this one was chefs 💋. Im keeping an eye out of new beekman 1802 products Have a great weekend!
So happy to hear you’re enjoying it too! Yep, with the 10x?! I’m so pleased 😁 Actually I think that was one of the 12x items right? Such a score. Hope you have a great weekend too!
Alice 💗💗💗 I am SO excited - I recently picked up the Manyo serum and I’ve been wait in to try it! QUESTION ON MANYO: Can I pair it with pure Vit C? How about tret? I am trying to see whether to put it in my AM or PM 💗 my PM is pretty stacked but would this serum work well over a Vit C serum ? Is it too thick? ❤ Love and light! Your page is a godsend! 💕🩵✨
So Bubble is an affordable skincare brand that I've really been enjoying for its simplicity. The face mask, vit C serum, & tined mineral spf (one of the only mineral spf that does not leave a white cast on my darker skintone) are 3 of my favorite products from the brand and "drugstore" in general. I've tried the new cream cleanser featured in this video and I do think it is one of the best cream cleansers for combo skin in an extremely hot climate (I'm in the Caribbean near the equator lol) but I also agree that for a colder climate/season, like when I lived in Sweden, I would prefer someting more creamy (Milk Makeup Vegan Milk Cleanser, Sioris Cleanse Me Softly, Dermalogica Ultracalming, etc.). I look forward to trying the Oil and Micellar Water as someone who thinks that the only product from Bubble that disappointed me was their Makeup Remover (Wipe Out) which wasn't the best at that. - Currently using the JBeauty &honey Sabon Cleansing Balm Blue Clay, and absolutely loving it!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Yep I can absolutely imagine combo skin enjoying this cleanser - nice in between of a gel and non-foaming cream (funny you mention the Sioris; I was just thinking about how I miss having that one in my collection haha!)
Bubble’s salicylic acid serum in the orange bottle is great too, if you haven’t tried it yet. It’s creamy and soothing while fighting acne. I know Alice reviewed at some point.
@@jenniferarmstrong8879 ah thank you! I usually don't use Salicylic Acid serums/washes and tend to prefer (& see better results) treating my acne with AHA washes. But I have heard from my friend that the serum you recommended is phenomenal so I will likely test it for myself! I definitely prefer BHA in a more creamy texture.
I don’t have Ulta as an alternative but sometimes buying from Amazon is better than the waiting a month or two for delivery from a Korean store. I also know that I’ll buy more than I need to get a deal or to ensure that I have a backup
Regarding getting Asian skincare at a local store vs stylevana. I used to just want the product right away and pay for it. Now that I have my skincare products dialed in, I did a huge order from Stylevana and saved so much money. Plus I track my shipment with excitement .. lol it’s currently leaving Hong Kong
I love Good Molecules! The niacinamide toner is a staple in my routine, at least 2-3x a week. I really hope they come out with a lactic acid serum along with an azelaic acid serum. I realize their overnight exfoliating serum has lactic acid in it but I'd love a dedicated serum.
Alice! hi! Love this video and I’ve been using the GM mandelic acid for a few weeks now!( I initially experienced irritation, but then I decided to combine it with a few drops of my niacinamide from the inkey list and the irritation went away)
I have been ordering most of my favs from ulta lately! I think that's mainly out of convenience bc I get emails and usually know when theres good deals. I also like using the ulta app, its just more user friendly than the stylvana website on mobile (even stylevana emails are lil more confusing too). But there's still things that ulta doesnt have so I dont know I could ever fully switch to ulta. I also ordered the bubble micellar milk during 10x points but I have not tried it out yet. I have high hopes now! 😊 In the quest to use up other things I switched off from using the manyo bifida serum, and I regret that bc I've started to notice a huge difference. That one is a sneaky product! Dont realize how great it is until you stop using it 😅
I love Manyo, they are really popular in Japan as well especially their galactomyces serum and the cleansing oil. I loved that Bifida ampoule. Bubble always seemed like a kids brand or teen brand so I never tried it being someone in my thirties, but they seem to have some ok products. The cleanser interests me. I wish peach and lily was sold in the UK, as I would love to try them
Oh that’s fascinating to hear they are popular in Japan as well! I personally think their products speak for themselves, so not at all surprised they are popular in multiple countries!
Hi Alice, I'm glad you have access to some amazing products at Ulta. I have to wait like a month for the products to arrive. Congratulations on your purchases. You know that here in some retailers they have one or two Byoma products at such high prices comparable to high-end ones. I hope you are doing well and have a great weekend 🥰🌷
Great reminder to patch test( I often don’t ) yesterday I had a dry burning patch on my forehead and realized tried a new Vitc with usual lactic acid . Luckily with enough sunscreen , it felt better. Just bought an incredible Sephora Collection skincare tube of a cica/ centella combo . Had a horrible rash from new clothes and it cleared it up in 24 hours ! Try it!! Thx Alice . ❤❤
It’s hard to remember!! My brain really just wants to “find out” how a product is but uh…sometimes I have realized I didn’t want to find out quite like that 😅🤣
I like the ability to buy some of my favorite k beauty products at Ulta so I can get and use points on them. I'll do wherever I can get the best discount. I also don't have to order as much to get free shipping from Ulta, too, so that makes them more attractive to purchase from. I'll still be ordering from the k retailers but maybe not as often. Related: Have you ordered from Wish+? It's apparently Wish merged with another retailer. They have Asian beauty products plus they have a lot of the snacks we used to be able to get at Style Korean. I haven't done a lot of price comparison on the site yet but I do miss ordering those snacks.
🤯 no I haven’t heard of that at all, thank you for the tip!! Gosh I miss the snacks lol. I had just discovered that when stylekorean pulled the rug out from under us!
Ohh I didn't know peach slices had a roller ball product!! They are amazing for the bikini area! I have the one by Mega Babe but I Bet Peach Slices is cheaper!!
My only thing with buying Asian beauty brands in Western retailers is that either they have changed the formulas to fit with western regulations while keeping the original formula in Asia (Shiseido does this all the time!) or that the products are the older stock they are trying to offload bc they came out with new formulations/packaging.
Yes, it definitely happens with sunscreens (and I’m heartbroken over it; why oh why can’t we just have those beautiful sunscreen formulas here 💔) It seems cosrx/skin1004/manyo are keeping the formulas the same on their popular products, thankfully!
It really is! I think most brands like to encourage a double cleanse simply because it’s more to buy lol (not to mention it works great for most), but YES you can single cleanse with an oil cleanser - as long as your skin responds well!
Blephasol (for eye health) is the best mascara remover I've ever found lol and it helps irritated eyes at the same time. Def will be trying some of these products
@@AliceintheRabbitHole looking at the ingredients it has micellar in it so I guess that makes sense lol it works great for blepharitis or just irritated eyes from mascara. One swipe and my mascara is removed. I highly recommend.
20:00 @@parisinthe30sx I think my main eye irritant is mascara. I have tried so many, even high-end, and have not found one yet that is not irritating. 😢😢
Ill probably just stick to yesstyle when buying kbeauty because kbeauty has me in a chokehold. I genuinely dont think i have single western skincare or makeup product....i might have an elf primer...but thats really it. I would shop at ulta if i was already shopping at ulta, but i LOVE that ulta is selling more kbeauty because i think everyone should try these products
When you say it took you a while to see the effects of manyo bifida product, what exactly were the effects? And how do you know it's from that specific product?
I got the bubble micellar cleanser, I had to hold off on the oil cleanser cause I have too many oil cleansers. This one stood out cause of the oat extract. I’ve been getting into oat lately. I also have the skin 1004 centella cream, it’s next in line after my current one I’m using☺️🫶🏽❤️
Alice, can you break down Sephora’s Rouge days they just started? It seems like they are following Ulta 10x days format but must use Sephora credit card
Hi Alice. My skin routine always have the biome bifida serum and it is a step that helps after an acne breakout. My current skin is also encountering the acnes and pimples and I am trying out the ordinary skin barrier serum in to if I can incorporate it in my skincare. I am waiting for Asian platform for sales on Korean skincare products and my options are the skin1004 probiotic moisturizer cream in my cart since I have a dry flaky skin with acne at the moment. 😊 My location does have sale options but the retail discounts cannot be compared with the Korean retailers... 😂
Right and we should have some nice holiday deals coming up (less from YesStyle and stylevana, but moreso from stylekorean - their BF deals impress me every year!)
Oooh, quick question: did the micellar cleanser work on the korean/japanese style of waterproof mascaras? I know it worked on the mascara you used in the video, but I wasn't sure which one you were using. I'm in the market for something that can replace the Isehan wand-style mascara remover without having to use a cotton pad, and this Bubble one looked very promising!
Hi Alice, I'm so thankful to your channel. For someone who has the same skin type as yours, I do learn a lot from your recommendations. Keep up the good work. Question: I do use Manyo bifida (because of you😅) in my routine too. But as it has coper peptide I don't combine it with retinol. They say it may cancel each one outs active (?). Is that true? In your episode today you have in the same routine adapeline and manyo bifida with coper peptide.
I spent a lot of time trying to get answers to that (got a video about copper peptides from last fall I believe?) and my final conclusion was: the concerns are probably overstated. Per the “father” of copper peptides, overuse could maybe be an issue, but given the cost of copper peptides, I doubt it really is!
How does the ma:nyo serum compare to the Numbuzin no 3 serum in your opinion, Alice? I thought Numbuzin was also bifida, I've been using that one for several months and feel like I see good results. You've got me curious about ma:nyo but I'm not sure if it would be redundant! For buying Kbeauty- love to get what I can from Ulta BUT if I can get it nearly half the price at Marshalls etc, I'll go that route. But if they ever had a good enough sale I would get from Ulta!
The numbuzin is nice, but it feels (on my skin type) like a preview of Manyo’s. I think it’s that manyos is perfectly targeted for dryness, hydration, and barrier boosting. So it benefits all my skin concerns: dryness, sensitivity, my inflammation prone skin! Could be variable based on skin type and needs, but it’s truly hard to beat for me. Hope that helps!
i was so confused what the difference was between the existing wipe out makeup removing milk & the newly launched micellar milk like why would u have 2 make up removing milks & not address the similarities & differences sksbdhdkzndjdk
I'm extremely offended that you still haven't tried the Herbloom clenser. You know what might be easiest? If you added people's recs to the Amazon wishlist, so you don't have to spend on so much stuff :)
I know you probably don’t intend to, but the tone of this comment is kinda rude/mean. A creator doesn’t owe you any reviews. You’ll catch more flies with honey over vinegar. E.g. “I really wish I could send you this product I love. If you add it to your Amazon wishlist I’d be happy to buy it.”
@@jenniferarmstrong8879 Oh, that's just because you read it as such. Obviously I was sarcastic and sassy, Alice knows I love her :) And I don't know how it's rude to offer to lighten the burden of buying so many products...
Yep haha, as someone who speaks in sarcasm very often, I get it. But I also understand not defaulting to it in text too. So much context can be lost I’ve always liked emojis as an intermediate method of communication and ~now that’s unpopular~. And I’m flailing and trying to make the squiggle something to compensate - no, we must have emojis!!!
@@lukastemberger Just some constructive criticism, do with it what you will. Some people in life won’t understand your sarcasm. And sassy can easily be confused with mean. I’m probably just a bit sensitive after dealing with too many “sassy” people at work this week.
@@jenniferarmstrong8879 That's fair and totally respect the input... I'm also European and a 90s kid, so I already had to work a lot on toning myself down when I moved to LA because of all the American sensitivities... But I really wouldn't be rude to anyone who is not rude to me first, let alone strangers on UA-cam.

So true (especially when there’s an option for snacks LOL; oh how I miss that from stylekorean!!)
@@celiareed1402 I have found the products to be fresher from Stylevana. As opposed to IHerb and Amazon.
Technically, it's delivered from Hong Kong?
@@lukastemberger Close enough for me!
What’s the best way, I’ve used iHerb, not stylevanna , or YesStyle .

Ohh I think you’re right. Yes this isn’t that mirror-like gloss, but it’s so nourishing! The Torriden is such a good affordable option too
I can’t always afford the free shipping thresholds from overseas retailers, so it’s nice to have the option to buy from Ulta.
Glad to see someone love manyo's bifida biome ampoule as much as I do!!! 💜
Absolutely, it’s SO good! 😁
Count me in, too. It’s been amazingly helpful for me.
Same here, I've been using it for a month daily and I can see the results already

Bubble always seemed like a kids brand or teen brand so I never tried it being someone in my thirties, but they seem to have some ok products. The cleanser interests me. I wish peach and lily was sold in the UK, as I would love to try them
Oh that’s fascinating to hear they are popular in Japan as well! I personally think their products speak for themselves, so not at all surprised they are popular in multiple countries!
Hi Alice, I'm glad you have access to some amazing products at Ulta. I have to wait like a month for the products to arrive. Congratulations on your purchases. You know that here in some retailers they have one or two Byoma products at such high prices comparable to high-end ones. I hope you are doing well and have a great weekend 🥰🌷
Thank you! Hope you’ve had a great weekend too 🥰
im a super big fan you're the best!!!
Thank you! 🥰
That Bloom Effects is on my wishlist! But yes the price...
Great reminder to patch test( I often don’t ) yesterday I had a dry burning patch on my forehead and realized tried a new Vitc with usual lactic acid . Luckily with enough sunscreen , it felt better. Just bought an incredible Sephora Collection skincare tube of a cica/ centella combo . Had a horrible rash from new clothes and it cleared it up in 24 hours ! Try it!! Thx Alice . ❤❤
It’s hard to remember!! My brain really just wants to “find out” how a product is but uh…sometimes I have realized I didn’t want to find out quite like that 😅🤣
I like the ability to buy some of my favorite k beauty products at Ulta so I can get and use points on them. I'll do wherever I can get the best discount. I also don't have to order as much to get free shipping from Ulta, too, so that makes them more attractive to purchase from. I'll still be ordering from the k retailers but maybe not as often.
Related: Have you ordered from Wish+? It's apparently Wish merged with another retailer. They have Asian beauty products plus they have a lot of the snacks we used to be able to get at Style Korean. I haven't done a lot of price comparison on the site yet but I do miss ordering those snacks.
🤯 no I haven’t heard of that at all, thank you for the tip!!
Gosh I miss the snacks lol. I had just discovered that when stylekorean pulled the rug out from under us!
Ohhhh man, I wish I would have picked up the Peach and Lilly lip product. Next time!
Medicube, Medipeel, Mediheal, so much brand starting with Medi 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Right lol
Ohh I didn't know peach slices had a roller ball product!! They are amazing for the bikini area! I have the one by Mega Babe but I Bet Peach Slices is cheaper!!
My only thing with buying Asian beauty brands in Western retailers is that either they have changed the formulas to fit with western regulations while keeping the original formula in Asia (Shiseido does this all the time!) or that the products are the older stock they are trying to offload bc they came out with new formulations/packaging.
Yes, it definitely happens with sunscreens (and I’m heartbroken over it; why oh why can’t we just have those beautiful sunscreen formulas here 💔)
It seems cosrx/skin1004/manyo are keeping the formulas the same on their popular products, thankfully!
Oh yeah when my skin is super dry or sensitised i doubble cleanse with a cleansing oil (no other cleanser).
So good tip from bubble imo 😁
It really is! I think most brands like to encourage a double cleanse simply because it’s more to buy lol (not to mention it works great for most), but YES you can single cleanse with an oil cleanser - as long as your skin responds well!
Hi Alice Happy Friday! So nice to see you 😊
Happy Friday! 🥰
Blephasol (for eye health) is the best mascara remover I've ever found lol and it helps irritated eyes at the same time. Def will be trying some of these products
Oh whoa interesting!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole looking at the ingredients it has micellar in it so I guess that makes sense lol it works great for blepharitis or just irritated eyes from mascara. One swipe and my mascara is removed. I highly recommend.

I think my main eye irritant is mascara. I have tried so many, even high-end, and have not found one yet that is not irritating. 😢😢
Ill probably just stick to yesstyle when buying kbeauty because kbeauty has me in a chokehold. I genuinely dont think i have single western skincare or makeup product....i might have an elf primer...but thats really it. I would shop at ulta if i was already shopping at ulta, but i LOVE that ulta is selling more kbeauty because i think everyone should try these products
Exactly, the exposure is so exciting! I can’t wait for more folks to find and try these brands ☺️
I haven’t even looked into the k beauty at ulta yet but just thinking of their prices for cosrx I’m scared to look
I use the FAB ingrown hair pads. I may have to try that. Have a great weekend ❌️ ⭕️
Oh yeah I’ve heard of those! Those kind of products help so much
Hope you have a great weekend too ☺️💕
@@AliceintheRabbitHole They actually work really well.
Have you tried Curel cleansing oil? So far this is my favorite. Very lightweight and milky. I haven't tried the rest of the line but it is awesome!
I haven’t, thank you for the rec!!
When you say it took you a while to see the effects of manyo bifida product, what exactly were the effects? And how do you know it's from that specific product?
I got the bubble micellar cleanser, I had to hold off on the oil cleanser cause I have too many oil cleansers. This one stood out cause of the oat extract. I’ve been getting into oat lately. I also have the skin 1004 centella cream, it’s next in line after my current one I’m using☺️🫶🏽❤️
Oat extract really is such a nice ingredient for sensitive-leaning skin ☺️
Alice, can you break down Sephora’s Rouge days they just started? It seems like they are following Ulta 10x days format but must use Sephora credit card
I haven’t heard of this! Where do you see it?
Cheapest pimple patches i have found are beutybays own (you really get rewarded for bulk buying them)
Hi Alice. My skin routine always have the biome bifida serum and it is a step that helps after an acne breakout. My current skin is also encountering the acnes and pimples and I am trying out the ordinary skin barrier serum in to if I can incorporate it in my skincare. I am waiting for Asian platform for sales on Korean skincare products and my options are the skin1004 probiotic moisturizer cream in my cart since I have a dry flaky skin with acne at the moment. 😊
My location does have sale options but the retail discounts cannot be compared with the Korean retailers... 😂
Right and we should have some nice holiday deals coming up (less from YesStyle and stylevana, but moreso from stylekorean - their BF deals impress me every year!)
Oooh, quick question: did the micellar cleanser work on the korean/japanese style of waterproof mascaras? I know it worked on the mascara you used in the video, but I wasn't sure which one you were using. I'm in the market for something that can replace the Isehan wand-style mascara remover without having to use a cotton pad, and this Bubble one looked very promising!
Ah I will have to update you on that, but I definitely can!
The part where you’re talking to the ingredients list. 😂
Hi Alice, I'm so thankful to your channel. For someone who has the same skin type as yours, I do learn a lot from your recommendations. Keep up the good work.
Question: I do use Manyo bifida (because of you😅) in my routine too. But as it has coper peptide I don't combine it with retinol. They say it may cancel each one outs active (?). Is that true? In your episode today you have in the same routine adapeline and manyo bifida with coper peptide.
I spent a lot of time trying to get answers to that (got a video about copper peptides from last fall I believe?) and my final conclusion was: the concerns are probably overstated. Per the “father” of copper peptides, overuse could maybe be an issue, but given the cost of copper peptides, I doubt it really is!
I use an oil cleanser, then gel cleanser, then I finish with micellar water.
Oh true, get the last of the makeup off! That works too ☺️
The Ulta 20% off coupon is good through 8-17.
Thank you!
We don't have Ulta in Canada 😭 I'm not store loyal though I will always get the best deal.
How does the ma:nyo serum compare to the Numbuzin no 3 serum in your opinion, Alice? I thought Numbuzin was also bifida, I've been using that one for several months and feel like I see good results. You've got me curious about ma:nyo but I'm not sure if it would be redundant!
For buying Kbeauty- love to get what I can from Ulta BUT if I can get it nearly half the price at Marshalls etc, I'll go that route. But if they ever had a good enough sale I would get from Ulta!
The numbuzin is nice, but it feels (on my skin type) like a preview of Manyo’s. I think it’s that manyos is perfectly targeted for dryness, hydration, and barrier boosting. So it benefits all my skin concerns: dryness, sensitivity, my inflammation prone skin!
Could be variable based on skin type and needs, but it’s truly hard to beat for me. Hope that helps!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Thank you so much! It does, I may try it after I finish my current Numbuzin:)
❤
😂😂😂wrong medi fml i relate to that way too hard
i was so confused what the difference was between the existing wipe out makeup removing milk & the newly launched micellar milk
like why would u have 2 make up removing milks & not address the similarities & differences sksbdhdkzndjdk
True. I’m thinking they are replacing wipe out with this (it’s a better product!)
🐰
I'm extremely offended that you still haven't tried the Herbloom clenser. You know what might be easiest? If you added people's recs to the Amazon wishlist, so you don't have to spend on so much stuff :)
I know you probably don’t intend to, but the tone of this comment is kinda rude/mean. A creator doesn’t owe you any reviews. You’ll catch more flies with honey over vinegar. E.g. “I really wish I could send you this product I love. If you add it to your Amazon wishlist I’d be happy to buy it.”
@@jenniferarmstrong8879 Oh, that's just because you read it as such. Obviously I was sarcastic and sassy, Alice knows I love her :)
And I don't know how it's rude to offer to lighten the burden of buying so many products...
Yep haha, as someone who speaks in sarcasm very often, I get it. But I also understand not defaulting to it in text too. So much context can be lost
I’ve always liked emojis as an intermediate method of communication and ~now that’s unpopular~. And I’m flailing and trying to make the squiggle something to compensate - no, we must have emojis!!!
@@lukastemberger Just some constructive criticism, do with it what you will. Some people in life won’t understand your sarcasm. And sassy can easily be confused with mean. I’m probably just a bit sensitive after dealing with too many “sassy” people at work this week.
@@jenniferarmstrong8879 That's fair and totally respect the input... I'm also European and a 90s kid, so I already had to work a lot on toning myself down when I moved to LA because of all the American sensitivities... But I really wouldn't be rude to anyone who is not rude to me first, let alone strangers on UA-cam.
Hi❌️⭕️
The weekend is here!! 🙌
