💗 New Videos Every MWF! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Dearest Alice ... if you only knew how many items I currently have in my Stylevana cart due to your wonderful reviews. Heaven help me! Thanks for the reminder which I've had to learn the hard way - stop buying until I've finished what I already have. 🤭 Skincare is soooo addictive! You're the BEST! 💖
Happy to help! 🥰
I'm in the same boat!
After binging the vids, my first haul was $250 worth of stuff from Stylevana and YesStyle. And I'm 100% aware I over did it :D
Now stopping myself from another order until I go through what I have. I've learned a lot about what kind of products I like though.
Her reviews are fantastic. I’ve ordered twice.
I love empties videos because I'm fascinated to see how many products end up in them. It takes me forever to use one product :).
That’s a good thing!
I had to pause and laugh before even staying the video. That thumbnail is everything! That possum gets us.
And lol at all the bifida, indeed! My sister was looking through my empties the other day and asked if I even knew how to buy products that don't have the word "peptide" on them.
I kind of mumbled back that my tretinoin doesn't have peptides.
🤣😂 oh how I relate. Phew I love peptides so dearly.
Oh wow do you have a peptide favorite? I am on the hunt for one product with peptides in it 😍
Yall need to turn notifications on…
🔔
That Isntree Onion moisturiser is a darling ❤ I love the texture for my combo skin, and when I use it with the onion toner, I can see a remarkable acceleration in the recovery speed post hormonal acne.
Mmhmm I feel it really helps with bouncing back after breakouts. Such a good product (and the whole line tbh, wonderful!)
Axolotl hat is absolutely fabulous!
Thank you ☺️
I like the compressed sheet masks with the eye flaps - I quickly cut them off after I hydrate the mask, then place them on my jaw sort of under my earlobes, if that makes sense. That extends the mask a bit to a part of my face that is usually visible (I wear my hair up most of the time), which I really appreciate.
Oh that’s a smart idea!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Frugality led me to the discovery. I cut them off after getting toner in my eyes like you did, but I didn't want to waste the toner I'd put on them so I just stuck them there and then it turned out to work nicely. It's good to be a cheapskate!
I just love your personality and your sense of humour😂
After about a year of consistent use, I swapped out the Manyo serum for the RNW. Several bottles in, I can say that I don't think I will ever want to give up the RNW. It's a perfect fit for me. I'm in fine-tuning mode with my routine and enjoying the fact that I kinda actually like my skin at the moment. 😊 Small victories have meant much more since rosacea became an issue for me.
It really does make a difference to find that “perfect” serum! Thank you for sharing ☺️
Looooord the owl necklace 🦉
The chokehold those had on us
Girrrrl, gotta love your cute and innovative ribbon background set up 😊😄.
You hooked me up on that Ma:nyo Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule 😄. My skin LOVES it 😊. Like you, it helps to sooth my sensitive skin. And Idk why, but it also helps to reduce the redness.
I've been eyeing on that Isntree Onion gel cream 🧐 and just because your skin likes it so much, I maybe have to get it in my next yesstyle order 🤔. What wouldnt one do to please their skin... 😂
Loved the video and appreciate your hard work ❤!
Thank you!! I got tired of bottles rolling away on a flat surface 🤣😂 ribbons look cute AND solve that problem!
So glad to hear you’re loving the manyo too! 😁
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Ugh, I can imagine how frustrating rolling bottles are 😒. So not only are those different ribbons cute, but very handy too 😃. Girrrrlll, you are not only pretty and witty, you are very creative too 😊!
I’ve been using Estee lauder products for years (toner, eye gel, anr and night cream) but then I replaced the ANR with manyo bifida and it just makes everything works sooo much better
Yay new empties video!🎉❤ I love these
I love seeing so many products you love and hearing why you love them. Thank you 🩷
I just got the Regelica 4 piece set and I’m so excited to try it! After you talked about the toner I checked out their website and girl mathed my way into figuring that the set was the best place to start lol
the toner and the moisturizer are so exciting bc the ingredients are so intriguing - and it’s been a while since I’ve come across anything that seems unique!
I bought the set for my mom for Mother’s Day first, and then I got jealous and bought one for myself 😂 I hope to see more from the brand in the future!!
Yup thats my thoughts on the brand as well. I think they feel different because they’re a western brand that isn’t just casually inspired by K-Beauty, but I think they really get it. It feels like the best of both worlds! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts ☺️
So excited for those sunscreen reviews. With summer coming up it’s time to break out the Japanese sunscreens for their lightweight texture.
Oh how they have mastered that texture. And it feels like these reformulations are even better (somehow!?)
I also love an empties video, and many of yours were no surprise lol.
Btw, thanks to you I finally bought the compressed sheet masks to make my own and got some of your toner recs as well. Thank you!
Oh yay!! Let me know how it goes for you! I didn’t immediately fall in love with the system as I kept trying viscous toners (the compressed sheet masks need watery toners to expand). But once I figured it out, there has been no turning back (clearly 🤣)
Just thought I would pop in with feedback on the IPSA Time Reset Aqua that I asked you about. It’s SOOOO hydrating and soothing. Not sure there are other benefits, but it’s helping to plump up my ancient face and I think in combo with my eye cream combo, I am seeing a reduction in fine lines.
Thank you so much for sharing! There’s so little info on that brand
Is it the “W” version or regular? (Looking on YesStyle)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole The Regular one: I don’t know enough about most of the ingredients to have an opinion, but it has glycerin which my skin loves. I believe most of the other things are soothing/calming/strengthening.
SO I tried the Prequel Gleanser as both a face wash and body wash, and I liked it, BUT in my opinion where it absolutely shines is as a shave gel! Dr. Sam Ellis mentioned this a while ago and I've never looked back :) I have sensitive skin and it's helped so much with hydration and red bumps after shaving
Happy Monday and it means a new video from you! I just ordered the Prequel! Thanks always.💗
It’s such a special cleanser; hope you enjoy!
I love your hat...really cute
Thank you 🥰
Hi Alice! Love your videos! I found them so helpful and educational and also entertaining …!
Glad you like them! ☺️
Fantastic video alice.
Hi Alice. I love your empties videos. I started using the Manyo Bifida Serum based on your review. I love it! ❤️
So glad to hear! 😁
Love the hat!! Many blessings!!!💖💖💖
Thank you ☺️
Those Pyunkang Yel Black Tea eye patches are so good--and they actually adhere well, unlike many others I have tried.
Yuuup, they really do!
Alice have you tried the naturie hatomugi skin conditioning milk? I've been thinking of getting it or the hada labo milky toner. Both are fragrance free and supposed to be good! Ive got to get the manyo.
I actually haven’t, but I did buy the lotion. Which was shockingly nice and absurdly affordable!
Hilariously, it too falls under the “will never finish because the value is too good” category. Though Ara might finish it (she steals all my J-Beauty. Steals with my permission/appreciation 🤣)
Hi Alice, it's so intriguing how each product works differently for each person. For example, the Skin&Lab serum (barriederm) worked wonderfully for me. It took away all the irritation from my skin and I thought I wasn't going to do anything about it. me, because it is very light and for example, peptides and bifida work very well for you. I start thinking about the individuality of the human being 🤔 I hope you are well Alice 🥰
It really is SO true. This is exactly why I worry when I see some folks sticking to hard rules with skincare!
This grey ace girl loves your hat! 💖 I want one myself!
Hola from Jaco in Costa Rica! Been enjoying loads of sunscreen, i brought alot of sheet masks way too much makeup. Tomorrow its a hike to see exotic birds and monkeys 😁
Ohhh that sounds so fun!! Enjoy! 🥰
Hey fren❤ glad you are feeling better 🎉
Thank you!! NGL, I had been storming around the house being angry about how long that cold lasted lolll. So draining ugh!
Anua hearleaf exfoliating pads are amazing.
Just started using Isntree onion spf 50 sunscreen. I am very dissapointed with it because it peels and burns my eyes. Skin1004 sunscreen is much better.
Hi Alice, since the Isntree onion gel cream helps with inflamed skin during breakout, I will add it into my cart to combat inflammation. I will use toner pads with exfoliating surface just for a thorough cleanse and hydrating toner with cotton pads and Korean masks when I am lazy to prep up. 😊 Tranenexamic acid serum really helps with the further pore inflamed area and the hyperpigmentation is noticably toned down.
Thank you for sharing! Same experience for me, I’m really impressed with TXA!
Ok...I gotta get that Manyo bifida complex ampoule. With Amazon Prime Day coming up in July, I got a few products to stock up on.
Oh true it is coming up isn’t it!
Love the Manyo in the mist form - using Neogen currently for my ferment fix and have the ELANR for fall/winter.
I also emptied my old packing LQ this month; just started the Isntree Onion moisturizer and it is such a good warm weather option for combo skin.
Suncut (as most JB sunscreen) pills on me.
The snail eye gels were okay. I love the DermaE Vitamin C and CosRX snail ones.
Ah I do like the texture of the cosrx - it actually does stay in place. Those might be my second favorites now that you mention it (thanks for the reminder!)
I totally agree with you on the Saturday Skin eye cream! The consistency reminds me of the tatcha silk peony (that melting type cream) but much more affordable and better impact. I also found the SS to be much more moisturizing 😊
That’s an apt comparison!
I want to try the Mary and May blackberry essence as I liked the sheet masks. I have yet to try the haru haru oil as well, which is on my to try list as haru haru is one of my favourite brands. I don't mind heavy oils as long as it removes all the makeup
I am also a toner bottle person!!! I often forget about my toner pads and sheet masks, I think I much prefer diy masking with the toners I have on rotation
Perfect video! You are my favorite ❤️
I have rosacea so my skin is really sensitive. I just bought Stratia lipid gold because of you and I love it so much that I have already bought a backup 😂
I use de Estée Lauder Night Repair every night and this is a must in my routine, but I am going to try the Manyo.. because the Estée Lauder is really expensive. I also bought the SKII because of you but I just started to use it.. so far so good. And I payed a good price compared to US website.. 100,00 for 230ml. I was happy!
I am planing to try Shiseido. Have you ever tried Ultimune and Eudermine?
Thank you!
Yup SK-II is a WAY better deal on the KB sites. No comparison!
Sadly, Shiseido actually doesn’t work out for me at all. I get breakouts every time I use their products, so I’m thinking it’s just my sensitivities (probably to the fragrance?) It’s such a shame as they sound like such a nice brand 💔
I tried to stray away from the Dr Ceuracle Essence but my dry skin craves it. Tempted by the TirTir but still wait for more reviews and comparisons.
I'm glad that you're interested in facial oils as well.
I have sensitive oily skin and my skin love oils. It strengthens, sooths, calms my skin so much. My holy grail brand is Chagrin Valley. I;m from Vietnam and its very difficult for me to order but its worth it.
They have various options, such as: Pomegranate Argan, Sea Buckthorn Tamanu, Argan Pumpkin... I have tried them all, they're all great and the Pomegranate Argan has dramatically changed my skin. You should check it out!
Thanks for sharing!! That does sound lovely, never thought to combine the two 🤯
Perhaps a "Not Emptied But Loved" section for instances like the Gleanser? :)
Ooh that is a good idea
Also I remembered a few days ago that I haven't updated you yet on my DermaV laser! Last Friday I got my second round of laser treatment. I did look at my before-after shots when I first came into the dermatologist office and before my first laser treatment and now, and the change is subtle. Maybe a 10-20% reduction in overall background redness. I'm still healing from the second treatment (though downtime is even less than IPL) so we'll see how that pans out in the next few weeks!
When I went in on Friday, I was healing from a stress breakout on the left side of my face and my dermatologist asked if I sit next to a window or drive a lot. Well, I always wear sunscreen when I go out, but not always when I work from home. And uh... my desk sits immediately to the right of a window, and recently I began opening it during the day so I can ensure the plants on my desk get enough sun. So I've been inadvertently getting a ton of sun on the left side of my face without SPF - the side that broke out like crazy when I got stressed. Don't forget your sunscreen, kids.
And a small update: I recently began using a Prequel ointment/serum - the one that's 20% glycerin - and it's lovely! I've been using it at night before moisture to juice my skin barrier and so far so good? It smells vaguely herbal, but not bad. It isn't sticky like heavy glycerin products I've used in the past, such as Experiment's serum. In fact, it almost feels like a powdery silicone product without the silicone? It's so weird to describe! Definitely works though and very lovely!
@@AuroraCarlisle thank you so much for the updates! Wow I would not have thought that could correlate with a stress breakout 😳 but yes, great reminder!
Krave founder Liahyoo got me on Tamanu as well. I'm hoping that brand and stratia coming to Sephora Aus soon... We missing out on so much still in 2024
Hi Alice -😃 Interesting thought from reddit about someone watching empties videos only - never even thought of that. I love toner pads - great for lazy days or to just overuse a product, lol. I just picked up a travel size of the Anua Toner (just because I have so many toners, and they take so long to go through). Honestly the toners that are 150 ml or 200 ml - seem like forever to get through. I have some of the Estee Lauder Night Repair - samples - but I don't reach for that anymore. Off topic, sort of - I purchased the iNNBEAUTY PROJECT
Extreme Cream - it is a 50ml - regular size night cream, but I swear that there must be much more in that bottle or it reproduces itself - because it is taking forever to get through, this is such a beautiful cream though, just in love with the texture. Do you usually have many products open at the same time? I know you will have a lot of products opened because you are testing, but do you open a few from the same category at the same time? Do you pay attention to how long you have a product opened? Please don't judge - but lip products get me sucked in so easily - I just purchased the Honey Milk lip oil from A'pieu - I love it! omgosh! yes - sucker here - too weird, I just tried a chin lift mask last week, it was just a no name brand from my local drug store - I had never seen it before, but I use the foot and hand masks from the same line and thought Wow - I need that! Yup - I'm a sucker! Omgosh, I need to stop typing - have a lovely evening, Alice! 🌸💮🌸
Hahaha yeah, it’s a case of I knew I wasn’t really going to get a chin “lift” from a sheet mask (lol), but I absolutely had to try it. Felt so silly over here wearing it (in fairness, I guess it did indeed lift my chin *during the time I had it on.* Though i spent that time hiding LOLLL)
Extreme cream is such a special moisturizer! And yes, many products get opened as part of being a creator. Many also get moved out and passed along!
The RNW ceramide concentrate has been a holy grail for me. I wanted to love stratia lipid gold but I discovered my skin hates sea buckthorn oil 😅
So RNW for me. I need to have it around at all times. I’ve seen amazing results especially when I damaged my barrier.
I agree that the Gleanser is an excellent price unless you’re only purchasing that product from their website. In PA the total would be $27.03 with shipping and taxes. Her products will eventually be sold at Sephora just like Dr. Idress 😊
Good point. My bet is on Target 👀
Aww, a possum on the thumbnail. Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen that little creature on your hat come up in something I was reading but can't remember the name. Re: the gleanser, were you also using it as a body wash?
Yep! It’s a great body wash as well.
I looove axolotls SO much. They can regenerate body tissues and even limbs (!!) in addition to basically being a neotenous salamander for their entire lives. They’re real life Peter Pans!
Alice! Have you tried The murad environmental shield city skin she defense SPF 50 ?? (Super long name lol) it’s a tinted mineral sunscreen, super expressive but it’s the best mineral sunscreen I’ve ever tried 😩 doesn’t make me feel super dry, it makes my skin so soft! Highly recommend if you haven’t tried it. I love it sm! (They have a mini size too 🤩)
I haven’t, thank you for sharing!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole girl you gotta ! 😍
Can you recommend any good spray bottles? I love your idea of pressed sheet masks! So cost effective! and I use it with my new Medicube booster pro with booster mode.
Don't mind me, just commenting for the algorithm
🥰🥰
Alice, I completely overuse the word epic and I’m a Gen Xer!! Also don’t even get me started on all this silly things I have bought because they were on some crazy sale. In fact, I did it today I bought a color of blush that I hang almost entirely convinced it will make me look like a clown, but it was such a good deal. It was like $7 at Marshall’s, and it was a Halo product so we’ll see. thanks for these empties. I need a new tranexemic acid product since I’m almost out of my Dearskin. Would you recommend the Haruharu wonder? (that autocorrected to horror horror wonder, 😂😂)
I want to know what blush! I still love blush, even though I’ve moved into more natural blush looks…the appeal is strong. They’re just so pretty!
I really, really like the HW so far, and for two reasons: one is that they actually disclose the percentage of TXA, and secondly that it’s not combined with AHA or other strong actives. It’s finally a way to incorporate that ingredient for those of us with sensitive skin!
All that said, I wouldn’t say everyone necessarily needs it. If you already have a TXA product that works, you may not need this one as well. Hope that helps!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole the blush is a liquid/ cream Halo brand blush in a tube. The color is terra-cotta, which is not even a very good color for me. 🤣 they also had a Kevin Aucoin lip pencil for $7.99. Usually sells for $24.95! I’m just about out of the Dear skin TA and I like to have one in my repertoire so I think I’m going to try the one you mention. My skin has not been liking actives as much as it once did. Thank you, Alice!
Alice, you should review the "KSecret Seoul 1988 serum" with 2% retinal liposome (0.2% retinal inside) and 58% black gingsen extract
I'm definitely guilty of being suckerd by a product 😂😂
Been thinking of getting the Tir Tir milky essence. I need moisture, but Boy Oh Boy Do I Miss my Dr. Ceuracle Kombucha Tes Essence. Wondering if anything can beat it. And it makes my skin wonderful if I use it as a mask for 20 minutes or so under my homemade saran wrap mask. Now I'm just using the Andie Lee Co-Q10 toner, which I love....missing using an essence as well.
Ooh see, you’re someone who I would LOOOVE to hear how the tirtir compares for. I am 75% ready to commit to saying I like it more than Dr.C (will finish the month up first lol).
I use more wash off masks because of my oily skin. Have a wonderful week ❌️ ⭕️
Makes perfect sense! Different skin types will gravitate towards different products 😁
Thank you, hope you have a great week too!
SOS ALICE!
My face started to sting last night when doing my routine- I thought maybe it was in need of a rest, so I used all calming ingredients.
I woke up this morning and the irritation is so severe that touching my face causes searing pain- even moving my lips or squinting is painful. I tried to wash my face and apply even my dearest skin1004 Centella ampule and an oat based fragrance free moisturizer, and I actually cried, it was so painful.
I couldn’t even apply my SPF 🙈
I’m obviously going to call my dermatologist ASAP- but what products do you recommend for seriously sensitized skin? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m usually so careful and anal about it- as I know I’m rosacea prone and very sensitive.
But I can’t even touch my face or apply any of my calming serums 😅
Oh dear, I hope it gets better ASAP! I’m not sure of the best direction here, your doc is the best bet for sure!
Alice, have you tried CommonLabs Vitamin C Brightening Sun Serum SPF50 PA++++? I’m looking to simplify my morning skincare routine and thought a sunscreen which already has vitamin C in it would be awesome to eliminate the Vitamin C serum step 😊 do you have any Vitamim C sunscreen recommendations? 🧡
I haven’t, but yep that is a great idea! I’ve seen it in a few products, and thankfully the antioxidant activity doesn’t require as high of a concentration as the hyperpigmentation-fighting activity ☺️
Ok I cannot remember which video U talked about the experiment silicone mask. I have the same problem with the cheaper silicone masks as they tug into the ears and I really don't like it. I have been eyeing the experiment mask but then realise it would cost me $80 AUD altogether for shipping and actual cost of the mask. I came up with a solution. U know the mask extender we see so much during COVID mask time? I'm using it for this mask, comfort delivered. Hope this helps someone in the same boat or same continent as me
Did you say you found the compressed sheet masks at Joann’s? The fabric store?
Yup haha! In the clearance section of all places. Quite the find 😁
Me -_- sheet masking while watching
Oh I swear by frequent use of them! Just got tired of the expense of buying them so now I make them from toner 😁
Hi❌️⭕️
🐰
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for introducing so many products to us Alice! it’s so nice to finally find someone with dry, sensitive acne prone skin as well🥹btw where did you get the top you are wearing in this video? I can’t stop looking at it!
Sporty Alice 🏌️♀️ you know, of all the hats you own, I’ve not one seen you in a ball cap until now 🤔😂 thank you for the video as always!
It’s probably my least favorite style, but I make an exception for the axolotl hat 😁
