Happy Wednesday all 🥰 Just want to make sure to clarify: hats aren’t a substitute for sunscreen!!! Apply & reapply your sunscreen, every 2 hours. More if needed, for example with water resistant sunscreens & swimming. However, hats are a great *additional* layer of protection. And they’re quite stylish. 👒😄
You are my favorite skincare informer. I work at Ulta and it’s been so much fun to learn from and use your videos in order to do my job (and treat my own skin) better! Thank you for doing what you do.
YesStyle hats FTW! I keep one in my car’s front, one in my trunk, one upstairs at my home, one or two floating in random bags, and several in a dedicated hat bin. I have different colors, styles, and weights so I never have a reason to be without and look anything less than cute!
I see we think alike! 😄 I scored a hat rack in the clearance section of ikea, so they’re mostly all in one place now. It’s so fun to pick out the hat of the day!
Yes....if you live in Florida...and I do, HATS are a necessity...lots of them. I keep my emergency hat in my glove compartment. I have had to walk home two times because my car decided to quit...and yes, my hat was in the car so, I did NOT get a sunburn :)
Soooo many fun things in here. I’ve always loved hats, but I was never a sun hat person. Here I am at 60, and finally a lover of the sun hat!! You’ve got some great options in there that I’m going to explore. Thanks Alice!
“It’s a flop” 😅 you are hilarious!!!! So happy I found your videos a few weeks ago. You always put a smile on my face all the while providing amazing content 🩵🩵🩵
I genuinely love hats. I have an ugly green one my dad gave me from his golf stash that I always use when I'm going to be outside for a while because it's actually UPF rated. My friends hate it when I wear it but I am safe from the sun, so I win. I do like to have an off-white sun hat for when I need to look nice though. I really appreciate the content and a "yesstyle sun hat review" type video would be awesome.
Oh that’s awesome, I’m always surprised by how hard it is to find UPF rated pieces! I bet your friends are just jealous lol, who wouldn’t want to protect their scalp? 🤷♀️
I live in Australia. Sunscreen is absolutely vital, but the base layer for sun protection. You ALSO need shade from hats, umbrellas, cover up with spf-rated clothing, etc. Also reputable sunglasses!
I really like the skin1004 tinted SPF. Not many people talk about it, it's one of the only kinds that doesn't break me out. Also you look adorable in that hat!
Thank you for dabbling in some makeup! While of course your skincare info is incredibly valuable and informative to me, I’ve always adored your makeup reviews. ❤️
Oh thank you! I’m going to try to expand my horizons a bit more lol. I don’t know what it is, but it’s so easy to get into a routine that is…always the same? 😆
It’s such a good one. It’s one of those where every time I return to it, I have an internal dialogue with myself about why I don’t use it every single day of my life LOL
I am all about hats and rash guards! It’s tough to find a rash guard that’s cut well for a woman’s body, who thought this was a piece of clothing that should be unisex? I am very excited to try this packable hat, wowza!
Oh noooo is it going to be a struggle? 😭 I was hoping it would be an easy order to make online lol. Ah well thanks for the heads up, maybe I’ll make shopping for this into an in-store experience instead! 👀
@@AliceintheRabbitHole actually, this might not be as hard as I thought… oops all mine are from attending scuba events (and sponsors bring unisex ie men’s for obvious reasons) but a quick look online shows plenty of options for us lovely ladies!
This is the first time I have watched one of your videos (stumbled upon you by accident) and I'm impressed. I've subscribed and can't wait to watch more. Plus I have to say your hair color is gorgeous and the makeup you are wearing in the video combined with your hair color is stunning.
@@AliceintheRabbitHole yep, my son and I wore hats at Ren faire no sun burn no tan lines and my daughter's and Son in laws all got red . Laugh at my giant sun hat and my bucket hats 😁 my head and face and shoulders are protected. I love your hats so much fun.
You look so so cute in hats! I want to like them, but I never actually wear them. They're hot, they fly off, they make my head itch, etc. I've never thought of yesstyle for hats though, so maybe I'll give them another go. Great video, btw, and I'm glad you got to do something fun for the long weekend 🥰
I had it with them flying off! GAH, I feel like there’s nothing worse than the wind whisking them away, leaving us to chase after the hat 😑Ties/straps are the way to go lol!
I am always tempted to pick up the Skinfood Propolis, but I have a lot of CosRx Propolis Synergy Toner in my collection atm. I like the hat you are wearing the best of all. It’s funny to me that sun protection involves black hats & body covering suits. Dark colors attract light, while light colors reflect it. Light pink is adorable, but it always highlights the wear. ✨ Thanks for sharing! ✨
Oh noooo, ugh life just loves throwing curve balls! What kind of outdoorsy stuff? Hiking is my go-to for “what are we doing this weekend?” - especially the more foresty/shady trails 🤣
ooh those sun hats look amazing! not sure if you ended up placing an order on Yesstyle with my rewards code but I did get my star membership renewed for the year! thank you :)
We love tubing! It's always a disaster, but in a good way? The first time, as my 9yo floated away when I got out to move us over rocks and just kept falling on my knees, I told myself, "I know this will be hilarious someday, but not right now." I was right! 😂 I wear a sarong kimono and knee-length workout pants - unattractive, but they really help with the sun. I am also a sun hat person - and I just placed a YesStyle order earlier. Should've looked at the hats! 🤦♀️
LOL it IS always a disaster, you’re so right 🤣😂 and yup in a good way. It’s never just “we floated peacefully down a river” - oh no, that would be too easy. Somehow you can’t help but leave with stories!! I love that you had that mindset. It does end up being true: it will be funny later!!
I was evicted this weekend. I'm terminal so people don't want me to die in their house(super illegal obviously but I am fighting too much to stay). I'm on IV nutrition so I was running a fever& wearing fans but my sunscreen kept melting off. Any tips on staying cool, and more hydration because I'm on so much diuretics for my heart failure that my skin is dry& angry. I'm also on heart meds that make sun more dangerous so I need to be more careful with spf. Your channel has helped me so much. So glad Memorial day is over. My new place has AC😁
I’m so sorry to hear you’re dealing with selfish people. It’s definitely illegal, but law aside, you’d think people would put kindness towards others first!?! You’d think people wouldn’t need a law to encourage that?! Ugh! What are you using for occlusives? Maybe a layer of Aquaphor/petroleum jelly alternatives would help to seal in your hydrating ingredients at night. That helps my skin a TON when it’s dry. It does require a more intense cleanser in the AM though; kind of the one drawback (although by more intense I really just mean: a basic foaming cleanser lol) Sending you all the good vibes 💕💕💕
I'm so sorry. I'm glad your new place will have AC, I hope you can get comfortable quickly. My husband, when deployed to Afghanistan, said when they urgently needed to cool people down, they'd take packs of IV from the cooler and that'd help a ton and quickly! But I know that's different from a nutrition IV. I'm not sure how much you take at a time, if it can help cool your body temp down but I figure anything helps. Coolest water ingestion that you can manage, if you can't drink gulps of water, can you do small ice chips? Ice packs to the back of the neck are also hugely helpful. It's a great spot to help relieve heat around the brain, misting yourself with cool water can be helpful but I understand you don't want all your skincare to melt off. I think Alice's suggestion of an occlusive layer like aquaphor could be really helpful, you can also try refrigerating it for an extra boost of coolness and moisture. Sending hugs 💗
Ok my friend - I appreciate and applaud your hat use AND emergency hat!! Now, can you help me solve my sun protection problem?: I was working in the yard, specifically splitting logs, on a super sunny day. I tan easily, but in strong sun, I can also burn, so I applied a nice layer of mineral sunscreen on my arms. That has 100% become a recipe for heat rash. I’m still recovering 5 days later. I almost wore my Uniqlo UPF sun jacket but with all the wood splinters flying everywhere, I didn’t wanna ruin it. I think I need to look at Goodwill for an oversized, long sleeved, white thin cotton men’s dress shirt that will keep me from getting too hot but will still cover my arms and costs $2. That was the best idea I could come up with. I assume rash guards will hold on to splinters? but I’ve never actually seen a rash guard in person :) so I’m not sure. Your advice would be appreciated. 🤓❤ P.s. my hat is very similar to your black one - fitting the hair/ponytail/clips is a must!!
Oh ouch!! I hope it heals up quickly!! Hmm I’m not sure tbh. I feel like they’re swimsuit-like spandex so maybe a rash guard wouldn’t catch the splinters? But in all truth I’m not sure either! I started shopping for them (online lol) but it’s hard to say that what I remember them feeling like will hold up. Online shopping is so funny: I feel like you can have an idea for how something will be, and sometimes it ends up being spot on - other times, not so much 😅 Yessss the shape of the hat is so perfect! I love not having to give up my claw clip style 😄
Thank for the hat recommendations! I needed one to go with the long sleeve rash guard I bought a few weeks ago. 😂 I really like the backless one so I can wear a claw clip!
Ooh where’d you get your rash guard? And yup I’m so happy I don’t have to give up my claw clip style to wear a sun hat. It’s a genius design as it still fully covers the scalp too - just perfect!
Just started my sun hat collection lol! I just found one with a 6” brim I hope I can see how to do things wearing it 🤣🤣🤣💚🤍🖤💚🤍🖤 thanks Alice! I love the emergency hat I gotta go put my roll up ones in the car and my bag now lol
@@AliceintheRabbitHole it’s a stiff one it’s just a waterproof outside work hat I found it on Amazon I got some cute floppy ones to wear out shopping too lol a black and white stripped one and the traditional beige black bow one I’m loving them so far never see anyone else in a hat I don’t care I’m not burning my face up 🤣🤍🖤💚
I went back to marshals and got the stem 111 ampoule I couldn't find the softener but I did notice they had the vital line and then I saw Amazon is having an amazing sale on IOPE also they even have a 110$ stem 111 set for 62$. Then I messed up found the Mary and may Ibendeone cream for 12$ and put it down looking at something and forgot to pick it back up 😭
Hm, I got some of that Mixsoon Bean Essence on sale from Stylevana and it was totally watery, not viscous/stringy at all. I assume it was damaged (perhaps by heat?) in transit--my order did take a month to arrive. Too bad, I'm looking forward to trying it.
I found Mixsoon for $16... but haven't used it yet. I agree on the Skinfood Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Essence a it being great, but for me it's not always necessary and can be too muh. I bought a backup and will use it, but I'm actually waiting for a time when my skin feels stressed or maybe really cold weather. As far as a replacement for the snail essence... I understand the "this or that" comparison even though I don't treat it that way. I use the snail essence every evening as the last toner/essence step or before the kombucha essence (I know you use it more as a serum). I find while it has a vicious texture, it lacks an occlusive element making it almost feel like a thick soothing hydrator. The propolis essence on the other hand doesn't feel like an oil, but it feels much more occlusive to me and I'll include it right before moisturizer to lock everything in sometimes replacing a more potent active if my skin feels stressed. Interestingly enough, while this doesn't feel like a same purpose dupe, I do think my perception aligns to your point as it serving the same end goal of protecting the skin, just more with a ramped up effect. Exact comparison aside, I 100% align products as this or that in my head that aren't much alike. I've found my skin routine has steps with a purpose and products are interchangeable only to the extent they fit into one of the purposes. In the morning I have an antioxidant serum (vitamin c or something else), I have a hydrating toner step (don't care what the ingredients are), first step essences (ditto), a repairing serum (ditto)... etc. etc. I've gotten in the habit of passing on products that try to do too much because they don't easily fit into the routine and I often have favorites in steps like tret, cosrx, liquid gold, etc. that I don't want to interchange or ingredients (exfoliators) that I don't want to deal with in my routine.
Ah you definitely feel me on the “this or that” situation! Yes it’s almost like the steps in my routine are open-ended rather than a specific product (as products are the end result of their ingredients and formulation, after all). It’s an intriguing evolution that has happened in my skincare journey. I wonder if you can know whether someone is newer to skincare or has been at it for a *while* based on whether they write out their routine as product names or as product concepts? That would be interesting to poll lol I rediscovered the place for those all-in-one products: very busy days!! I usually like to take the time for my routine (especially in the evening), but I was so busy for multiple days in a row that I just threw on some Sulwhasoo minis in the evening and called it a night 🤣 (so glad I packed those!)
Bloomingkoco had Sabine serum on sale for $18 and I'm so tempted because I'm so in love with that stuff!! I have like maybe two uses left! But you know how it goes you can't just order one product you have to at least get to the free shipping and then I end up with all this stuff I don't need so I'm thinking I probably have enough serums but $18😮 such a good price😢
Aw man I know the dilemma. I shopped the site during the PATRIOT40 code, but I didn’t check out because…only wanted the mixsoon serum 😭😭 it’s a struggle!
Yep! I haven’t seen any hair sunscreens though. Do you know where to look for that? I am only aware of the antioxidant-rich sprays (that deal with some of the damage but don’t block UV rays)
Why didn't I think of those collapsible hats I've got a medium brim heavy straw Panama and yacht club hats. You look like a hat model. 👒 adorbs Alice really
Thanks for the heads up! I very rarely get hot (idk what it is…maybe living my whole life in the south lol!) but I think you’re right for Aug/Sept. denim sounds like a good compromise!
Hi Alice, I'm going to try the iope stem lll softener and ampoule, but I also noticed an emulsion too. Is an emulsion like a creamy serum? Or a light moisturiser. I've researched what it is a bit but I'm a little confused still. Have you tried these or the cream? Thanks for all your efforts. I so enjoy your videos! And keep up the stories. It's lovely to find out about you! Xx
I haven’t tried the cosrx propolis but between the skinfood and wishtrend propolis serums, I really prefer the wishtrend one! Have you tried that one too?
I've tried the Cosrx propolis ( mini set ) and a free sample of Dr Ceuracle propolis ( I can't remember the exact name lol ) and I didn't like any of them. I think propolis is naturally sticky like honey and I'll admit it, I'm so incredibly picky when it comes to sticky textures. I just can't do it lol The Cosrx propolis serum also left a film on my skin too.
@@sererev yes and thank you for reminding me. I bought the BOJ mini serums and the propolis was my favorite 😍 At first it does feel a little sticky but once it dries ( and it doesn't take long ) it feels so good on my skin. I have a couple of serums I'm almost finished with and I'll be using up that mini propolis. I'll most likely get the full size. I completely forgot about it lol I'm so glad you made a comment 🥰 I will say, I was surprised about the BOJ propolis. I thought forsure the snail/ginseng would've be my favorite.
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I was quite shocked because I thought forsure I'd love the snail/ginseng serum. I recently tried the Klairs midnight blue calming cream 💙 and the Purito Oat in Silky Toner. The Calming Cream is my new obsession 💙💙💙 I will never go without. The Purito was a fail 😢 It has a thin watery milky texture but dried leaving my skin feeling gross. Sat on my skin with a filmy residue. I've been using it on body and I noticed that it foams up, it's so bizarre.
I have the same knee-jerk reaction to mixsoon's price. But it's gorgeous, so I buy it anyway (even though it doesn't like some other product in my routine and pills a bit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). I actually first heard about it via luchina recommending it for also massaging your face so it working with NuFACE totally makes sense.
My skin can’t Handel the Skin-food propolis or snail mucin . I get tiny bumps everywhere :( apparently ppl with dust mite allergies can react to those ingredients:/
Hmm. Aside from feeling that the cosrx 96 gives somewhat similar results, honestly it’s hard to think of a royal jelly/propolis/honey triple combo! There are certainly products that have one of those elements though (ie the cosrx propolis collection).
Happy Wednesday all 🥰
Just want to make sure to clarify: hats aren’t a substitute for sunscreen!!! Apply & reapply your sunscreen, every 2 hours. More if needed, for example with water resistant sunscreens & swimming.
However, hats are a great *additional* layer of protection. And they’re quite stylish. 👒😄
I now must have emergency hats. I'm already the emergency spf, spf lip balm, snacks and tissues mom. I should definitely get emergency hats. 😂😂😂
Haha yes!! Always gotta be prepared 🤣💕
The emergency hat anecdote was my favorite, I'd have been so proud to be able to pull that out in that situation 😂
You are my favorite skincare informer. I work at Ulta and it’s been so much fun to learn from and use your videos in order to do my job (and treat my own skin) better! Thank you for doing what you do.
Thank you for the kind words! 🥰
Yes! Hats with a space for my puff! 💚Definitely picking up that packable hat as well.
It’s such a genius design!! I genuinely don’t know how we went so long without a good open back hat!
lol about hats I went down the rabbit hole w Amazon today and ordered 3 of them. All w ponytail holes. U crack me up w your stories. Love all of them!
Oh sweeeet!! I am so excited about your hat order (yesss join me in the wonderful world of hats!! 🤣😂)
Hope you enjoy them!!
YesStyle hats FTW! I keep one in my car’s front, one in my trunk, one upstairs at my home, one or two floating in random bags, and several in a dedicated hat bin. I have different colors, styles, and weights so I never have a reason to be without and look anything less than cute!
I also give them (and Korean sunscreen) as gifts!
I see we think alike! 😄 I scored a hat rack in the clearance section of ikea, so they’re mostly all in one place now. It’s so fun to pick out the hat of the day!
You totally inspired me to buy some hats a while back. Now I want even more! Love the idea of a packable hat!
Eeeeh yes, welcome to the wonderful world of hats! 😁👒

Three cheers for emergency hats! 😁
Love your hat & wig!! Looks soo good on you! 😍😘 xx
Thank you! 🥰
That bag in a hat is everything ❌️⭕️
I absolutely flipped out when it came in and I realized how cute it was! It was an immediate order of 10x afterwards for gifts 🤣😂
Soooo many fun things in here. I’ve always loved hats, but I was never a sun hat person. Here I am at 60, and finally a lover of the sun hat!! You’ve got some great options in there that I’m going to explore. Thanks Alice!
I swear they’ve gotten better over the years! I remember growing up with only the straw hat style which…it just doesn’t stay on lol

They’re so wonderful! Is it the stiff or more floppy style? Or kind of in-between?
@@AliceintheRabbitHole it’s a stiff one it’s just a waterproof outside work hat I found it on Amazon I got some cute floppy ones to wear out shopping too lol a black and white stripped one and the traditional beige black bow one I’m loving them so far never see anyone else in a hat I don’t care I’m not burning my face up 🤣🤍🖤💚
I do like Vichy. The have some quality products ❌️⭕️
Your hats are super cute.❌️⭕️
I went back to marshals and got the stem 111 ampoule I couldn't find the softener but I did notice they had the vital line and then I saw Amazon is having an amazing sale on IOPE also they even have a 110$ stem 111 set for 62$. Then I messed up found the Mary and may Ibendeone cream for 12$ and put it down looking at something and forgot to pick it back up 😭
Hm, I got some of that Mixsoon Bean Essence on sale from Stylevana and it was totally watery, not viscous/stringy at all. I assume it was damaged (perhaps by heat?) in transit--my order did take a month to arrive. Too bad, I'm looking forward to trying it.
I also have Many many UPF hats and visors. It’s a weakness.
I found Mixsoon for $16... but haven't used it yet. I agree on the Skinfood Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Essence a it being great, but for me it's not always necessary and can be too muh. I bought a backup and will use it, but I'm actually waiting for a time when my skin feels stressed or maybe really cold weather. As far as a replacement for the snail essence... I understand the "this or that" comparison even though I don't treat it that way. I use the snail essence every evening as the last toner/essence step or before the kombucha essence (I know you use it more as a serum). I find while it has a vicious texture, it lacks an occlusive element making it almost feel like a thick soothing hydrator. The propolis essence on the other hand doesn't feel like an oil, but it feels much more occlusive to me and I'll include it right before moisturizer to lock everything in sometimes replacing a more potent active if my skin feels stressed. Interestingly enough, while this doesn't feel like a same purpose dupe, I do think my perception aligns to your point as it serving the same end goal of protecting the skin, just more with a ramped up effect.
Exact comparison aside, I 100% align products as this or that in my head that aren't much alike. I've found my skin routine has steps with a purpose and products are interchangeable only to the extent they fit into one of the purposes. In the morning I have an antioxidant serum (vitamin c or something else), I have a hydrating toner step (don't care what the ingredients are), first step essences (ditto), a repairing serum (ditto)... etc. etc. I've gotten in the habit of passing on products that try to do too much because they don't easily fit into the routine and I often have favorites in steps like tret, cosrx, liquid gold, etc. that I don't want to interchange or ingredients (exfoliators) that I don't want to deal with in my routine.
Ah you definitely feel me on the “this or that” situation! Yes it’s almost like the steps in my routine are open-ended rather than a specific product (as products are the end result of their ingredients and formulation, after all). It’s an intriguing evolution that has happened in my skincare journey. I wonder if you can know whether someone is newer to skincare or has been at it for a *while* based on whether they write out their routine as product names or as product concepts? That would be interesting to poll lol
I rediscovered the place for those all-in-one products: very busy days!! I usually like to take the time for my routine (especially in the evening), but I was so busy for multiple days in a row that I just threw on some Sulwhasoo minis in the evening and called it a night 🤣 (so glad I packed those!)
Bloomingkoco had Sabine serum on sale for $18 and I'm so tempted because I'm so in love with that stuff!! I have like maybe two uses left! But you know how it goes you can't just order one product you have to at least get to the free shipping and then I end up with all this stuff I don't need so I'm thinking I probably have enough serums but $18😮 such a good price😢
Aw man I know the dilemma. I shopped the site during the PATRIOT40 code, but I didn’t check out because…only wanted the mixsoon serum 😭😭 it’s a struggle!
That's supposed to say BEAN serum😅😂
Have you checked out UPF clothing/hats? Also, scalp/hair sunscreens...
Yep! I haven’t seen any hair sunscreens though. Do you know where to look for that? I am only aware of the antioxidant-rich sprays (that deal with some of the damage but don’t block UV rays)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I've seen videos from The Style and Beauty Doctor and Dr Dray but the hats are probably the more practical way.
Why didn't I think of those collapsible hats I've got a medium brim heavy straw Panama and yacht club hats.
You look like a hat model. 👒 adorbs Alice really
Aw thank you 🥰
@@AliceintheRabbitHole your welcome
Hi Alice… from experience I can tell you that black hats absorb heat and you will melt. Maybe the denim one?
Also you can probably chuck the fabric hats in the washing machine after spraying with stain remover, then hang them up.
Thanks for the heads up! I very rarely get hot (idk what it is…maybe living my whole life in the south lol!) but I think you’re right for Aug/Sept. denim sounds like a good compromise!
Hi Alice, I'm going to try the iope stem lll softener and ampoule, but I also noticed an emulsion too. Is an emulsion like a creamy serum? Or a light moisturiser. I've researched what it is a bit but I'm a little confused still. Have you tried these or the cream? Thanks for all your efforts. I so enjoy your videos! And keep up the stories. It's lovely to find out about you! Xx
I have 3 of those
I haven’t tried the cosrx propolis but between the skinfood and wishtrend propolis serums, I really prefer the wishtrend one! Have you tried that one too?
Oh wait no I haven’t!! I do like wishtrend’s products though - I’ll have to give that a try!
I find that propolis can be sticky. Like honey.
It can be! I’m actually quite surprised that Skinfood/cosrx are able to make such non-sticky products with it!
@AliceintheRabbitHole so I won't stick to my pillow? I have been wanting to try skinfood. Love ya!
I've tried the Cosrx propolis ( mini set ) and a free sample of Dr Ceuracle propolis ( I can't remember the exact name lol ) and I didn't like any of them. I think propolis is naturally sticky like honey and I'll admit it, I'm so incredibly picky when it comes to sticky textures. I just can't do it lol The Cosrx propolis serum also left a film on my skin too.
Have you tried the Beauty of Joseon Glow serum? That one has propolis and niacinamide, it didn't feel sticky at all on me
@@sererev yes and thank you for reminding me. I bought the BOJ mini serums and the propolis was my favorite 😍 At first it does feel a little sticky but once it dries ( and it doesn't take long ) it feels so good on my skin. I have a couple of serums I'm almost finished with and I'll be using up that mini propolis. I'll most likely get the full size. I completely forgot about it lol I'm so glad you made a comment 🥰 I will say, I was surprised about the BOJ propolis. I thought forsure the snail/ginseng would've be my favorite.
@@paulayarbrough6930 ah, I'm glad that one worked for you! BoJ has some great formulations!
So glad to hear you like the glow serum! That’s one of my favorites from them
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I was quite shocked because I thought forsure I'd love the snail/ginseng serum. I recently tried the Klairs midnight blue calming cream 💙 and the Purito Oat in Silky Toner. The Calming Cream is my new obsession 💙💙💙 I will never go without. The Purito was a fail 😢 It has a thin watery milky texture but dried leaving my skin feeling gross. Sat on my skin with a filmy residue. I've been using it on body and I noticed that it foams up, it's so bizarre.
yahoo. super-stunning , homie, ;))
Thank you 😄
Its IOP-“eh” 😄
Thank you!!
I have the same knee-jerk reaction to mixsoon's price. But it's gorgeous, so I buy it anyway (even though it doesn't like some other product in my routine and pills a bit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). I actually first heard about it via luchina recommending it for also massaging your face so it working with NuFACE totally makes sense.
My skin can’t Handel the Skin-food propolis or snail mucin . I get tiny bumps everywhere :( apparently ppl with dust mite allergies can react to those ingredients:/
Do you know of any other serums or essences that are similar to the Skinfood Propolis essence?
Hmm. Aside from feeling that the cosrx 96 gives somewhat similar results, honestly it’s hard to think of a royal jelly/propolis/honey triple combo! There are certainly products that have one of those elements though (ie the cosrx propolis collection).
Omg 🎉 am I FIRST!!!?? 🙌
Oh no I wasn't first😂 close
Close! 😁
It's because I'm home sick
@@noneofurbusiness5223 ohh no... Feel better soon!
@@Kendralovesskincare
Ur so sweet, thanks!
@@noneofurbusiness5223 You're welcome!
Sort of a random observation, but Alice, your teeth are so white!! What's your secret?
Hi. ❌️⭕️
It’s so funny you say how convenient it is to travel with the Kaja brand because kaja (가자) literally translates to “let’s go!” in Korean 😂😋
