W2beauty.com: Beauty at Your Fingertips

by admin

Nowadays, it’s not just women who are conscious with the way they look especially their skin. More men are taking care of their appearance by buying the best hair, body and skin care products available in the market. I believe that the secret to being healthy and having a good life doesn’t just lie in eating nutritious food or by exercising daily but by taking care of your outside appearance as well. This holistic approach likewise takes care of your well-being. Having said that, I sometimes look for online stores that sell high quality and yet affordable beauty products. I no longer wish to buy from the usual expensive brands but from other lesser known but equally effective brands.

I’m happy to have stumbled upon w2beauty.com, The Best Korean beauty shop. They sell skin, body, and hair care products as well as makeup from brands like Tony Moly, Etude House, Laneige, Skinfood, The Faceshop, Mamonde, Hera and many others. It’s great that they have a men’s category because a lot of online beauty stores only cater to women. Here you will find skin care, shaving and cleansing, and sun care products, makeup, and perfumes for the modern man. They have a wide selection of products but I was able to choose 5 that I would like to buy.

Collagen Moistfull Homme Multi Fluid Toner (150 ml)

The Collagen Moistfull Homme Multi Fluid Toner (150 ml) from Etude House is a multi-functional toner. It moisturizes men’s rough skin without the oily texture. It contains orchid with purifying effect, baobab fruit extract with its nickname of moisture tank, and collagen which is effective in making the skin firmer.

Collagen Moistfull Homme Multi Moisture Cream (50 ml)

The Collagen Moistfull Homme Multi Moisture Cream (50 ml) from Etude House contains orchid which purifies the skin, baobab fruit extract for added moisture, and collagen for a more firm skin. This multi moisture cream works more effectively after thoroughly cleansing the skin and after applying toner.

Collagen Moistfull Homme Moisture Skin Mist (200 ml)

Another product on my wishlist is the Collagen Moistfull Homme Moisture Skin Mist (200 ml) also from Etude House. Great for men with dry skin, this gel type skin mist makes skin softer. It has orchid,  baobab extract, and collagen peptide.

Engine Program Style Engine Wax

The Engine Program Style Engine Wax from Etude House is available in 80 g. This gel hair wax makes hair stay in place longer. It also adds shine to any type of hair whether it’s short or curly.

Moment Styling Good Guy BB Cream in 50 ml

I would also like to buy Etude House’s Moment Styling Good Guy BB Cream in 50 ml. It’s a hydrating BB Cream for men that provides sheer coverage with a moisturizing, radiant finish to naturally even out skin tone. It provides UV protection and has whitening and anti-aging properties. It’s best for normal to dry skin.

There are many online stores that cater to menswear but among the best is Northern Threads. Established in 2006 in South Shields, England, the owners’ goal was to offer their customer base the finest designer labels around coupled with an offering of the highest level of customer service there is. Since then the business has expanded and to cater for a worldwide audience Northern Threads have established a great online store.

Shoppers will definitely be at ease knowing that they are buying from experts.

1.) Farah Vintage The Winchester Crew Knit – £85.00

2.) Edwin ED-39 Blue Watch Jeans – £110.00

3.) Barbour Thorn Shirt – £65.00

4.) Grenson Stanley Full Brogue – £200.00

5.) Laboratory Perfumes – £50.00

Browsing through the store, I saw some really great items such as the Farah Vintage Winchester Crew Knit, Edwin ED-39 Blue Watch Jeans, Barbour Thorn Shirt and a pair of Grenson Stanley Full Brogue all shown above. I’ve heard good things about Laboratory Perfumes too and I noticed Northern Threads stock it when I was perusing their site.

The Farah Vintage Winchester Crew Knit is a stylish crew neck knit which has a thick ribbing on the cuffs, hem, and neck and an insulating knitted material to provide warmth. They work well with those Edwin ED-39 jeans – I’m a big fan of Edwin and particularly the ed-39 style; versatile, stylish and they can literally be worn with anything, anywhere.This straight legged pair is 100% cotton, has a button fly, and has five pockets. Every man should also have the Barbour Thorn Shirt either in blue or white, this stylish shirt has a button down collar, button cuffs, and button chest pocket. You will definitely look stylish if you are wearing this along with jeans and impeccable shoes. Which brings me to another pick of mine; Grenson Stanley Full Brogue shoes, one of Grenson’s eldest shoes. An elegant hand crafted brogue with wing tip, and double leather sole. Any guy will look classy and handsome when wearing these shoes.

As I mentioned I also browsed through the Laboratory Perfumes section and saw the Laboratory Samphire 100 ml. Eau De Toilette. “This brings together the scent of fresh jutiner berries, citrus oils and lavender for a modern scent” well suited for the modern man.

I’d certainly recommend you take a look for yourself.

Usually, fashion brands and labels lookbook photos are serving as an guide on how we can style ourselves through the brands newly releases pieces. However though, these passed seasons of these sorted brands collections. It seems that lookbook released photos are likely like a magazine photos instead of showing on how we can mix and matches things as we got fond having a certain brand’s pieces. Look at these photos from the Aloha Army 2014 Spring/Summer Lookbook, what you can say about the photos? Photography wise, these were quality and had really a great shots but on the styling though. I think these were way far on what am expecting it as I’ve heard an lookbook released.

Anyway, I might maybe outdated with this. Because this might be also the trend ones when brands having an lookbook because seems everyone having this kind of lookbook now than the usual I knew before. but do fairness with Aloha Army, they really has a great finds on their stores. You can visit them as the nearest mall where you resides or better yet to check them out online. Also, I would like to let you know that sterling silver jewelry is the one hip today when it comes with fashion accessories. Grab yourself one today!
