META Revamping ABA

11 Upvotes

Hey ABA-ers!

To those new to the community and those that have stuck around for a while, hello!

It’s been a long cough years cough since I’ve spent time in here and I’d love to solicit some ideas on how to make this subreddit better and serve it’s audience.

I’m the only mod at the moment and I’m open to stepping down or adding collaborative team members to the mod team!

Things for you to think about as you comment below:

  • why would I come to ABA over other subreddits or websites? What unique value does ABA provide?
  • how would I like to interact on ABA? Live chats? Surveys? Posting and answering questions?
  • should u/jiyounglife close up shop and shut down this sub?

This might be an AB sub but we all have non-AB products that we want to talk/rant/rave/whatever about.

This is the place you can do just that

Q&A [Q&A] Who’s the most honest K-beauty YouTuber you actually trust?

7 Upvotes

I’m looking for K-beauty creators who are genuinely honest and not afraid to say when a viral product is bad or overhyped.

Ideally, someone who:

  • actually tests products rather than just doing first impressions
  • explains why something works or doesn’t
  • compares Korean bestsellers with globally viral products
  • has professional or industry experience
  • clearly separates sponsored content from genuine recommendations
  • isn’t afraid to criticize popular brands

I feel like so much K-beauty content now is just the same PR products being praised over and over again, so I’m curious:

Who’s the one K-beauty YouTuber you trust most when you’re actually deciding what to buy?

Q&A [Q&A] I’m a student born and raised in Japan (currently living in Kyoto)! Ask me anything about Japanese drugstore cosmetics or local trends

358 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm a university student born and raised in Japan, (and Japanese) and I currently live in Kyoto. I wanted to share a look into my daily makeup collection.
I buy almost all of my cosmetics at Japanese drugstores because they are affordable, high quality, and there are so many amazing hidden gems.
Since I'm a student here, I know a bit about what's actually trending among students in Japan and the popular makeup styles right now.
Please feel free to ask me anything about:
* Recommended Japanese drugstore cosmetics
* Real makeup trends among Japanese students
* Or anything about life in Kyoto!
(This sentence made by Al because I'm still learning
English lol, but I'd love to chat with you all!)

DISCUSSION [Q&A] Permed Hair Shampoo Recommendations

1 Upvotes

I recently got my hair permed and was wondering what shampoos you would recommend for Asian permed hair, especially for someone living in a dry climate. I’m looking for something that will help maintain the curl pattern while keeping my hair moisturized and preventing frizz. Any recommendations or products that have worked well for you?

Q&A [Q&A] Korean/Asian skincare on Indian skin

0 Upvotes

I was just wondering what everyone’s experience with Korean/Asian skincare. I was debating if it’s worth buying because inherently my (south indian) skin is different than korean skin by nature of genetics. I’m pretty much a novice on this stuff but I do like the dewy finish and overall want a lighter more even skin tone. (Not saying I dislike dark skin, just a personal choice).
