Recently on the news, Lee Jong Suk & Ha YeonSoo are now the new faces of the brand name SKIN FOOD for this 2013. Beside this information, I wanted to give weight on the Korean Fashion trends this year 2013 which can be seen at these guys styling here. For Korean girls. They are fond of showing their legs most of the time, but they haven’t usually wearing this sexy top which can shows their back area and chest area or these cleavage type of dress where we can usually seen at these western peeps.

You can check out the video below for you to know further details about this Korean fashion trend 2013.

For guys, I’d often see them wearing this skinny ankle pants , like what the guy wearing on the top photo, and they usually pair it with the nicely dress shirts and have it tuck-in to be it looking neat and yet the swag in it already. Also remember that you’ll have to have this brogues type kind of shoes in you for the total look.

Team B of WIN performed Baby By Justin Bieber ( Korean Version )

by admin

This isn’t my first time actually to heard an Korean version of this song of Beiber entitled Baby. Actually, most Korean artists converted or got them own version of some of these well known English songs like this Baby which I recently heard from this so called Group B of the TV show called “WIN”. I simply found this version great and dopeness happening to it. Look, they’d either added some rap in it which made the song more lively and catchy in away through the arrangement of the song itself. Though I really cant understand the Korean language or Hangul and yet it still like understandable on my end because of their way to sings it, also, as we all know that song or music is our international language already.

Alright, I just wanted to share to you this video though I haven’t got any further details in hand yet regarding it even on their currently running TV show now up there which the “WIN”. However though, as I got time these days ahead and as I fond myself for searching details about the TV show. No worries, Folks! I’ll surely update you all in here as you, yourself look forward to know the show they’d having these days at their country, South Korea.

Thanks so much and I hope you’ll have a great weekend and start the weekdays with an happy hearts. 🙂

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.

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.
