So enough of the chitchat, I was browsing through this new beauty stall, Beauty in Seoul and they have a lot of Korean products and a lot of discounts too. I found this new product Epona, I actually haven't heard of this product before and I got it with a 60% discount so yay for me.




The packaging is quite simple, it's not fancy or anything. To be honest, it's not that eye catching but that's not really important as long as it works.

So without further adieu, let us start the review.

Product Claims:

As you can see on the packaging it claims to have a moisturizing effect, it's hypoallergenic and it provides a silk therapy.

On the photo below, the consistency is very silky and smooth and it is transparent. It also has a florally kind of scent which I like. It lathers quickly which is what I like so it means that your scalp and hair can be thoroughly clean.



What I love about this product is that it doesn't have a strong scent to it, which means it's good for me. Although, because my hair is full of chemicals and products, after using this shampoo, it somehow dries up my hair when it's still wet. But after drying it, it feels a lot softer and feels as if I used a conditioner but I didn't.

Where Could I get this and how much?

If you're from the Philippines, you can get this at one of Beauty In Seoul's stall in different malls nationwide. You can find them on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/Beautyinseoulphil/

You can also get this on eBay and other websites. The price is ranging from $5-$10 but I got mine for around $3 only because it was on 60% sale.

Here are some of the few photos of me using this shampoo before and after:

 Look how frizzy my hair was. LOL. I have to constantly iron my hair to at least straighten it which is another reason to damage my hair.


After washing my hair, because my hair has a lot of chemicals on there, it kinda frizzed a bit while it was still wet so I couldn't comb it well. I waited for it to dry to finally comb it.

After Epona:

What are my thoughts about this product?

Would I recommend this product?

Hi, everybody! Today, I will be sharing with you my review of the RA & Gowoori Real Kill White Whitening Cream.

So I'm not a skincare expert, I used to invest more on makeup products rather than skin care products. My routine used to only include cleansing foam, toner, then moisturizer, and nothing more. Then I realized that taking care of my skin is more important because you'll see good results in the long run.

So this is the first item outside of my usual skincare routine that I've ever tried. Let's start the review.

Packaging:

It's very simple but very elegant. One thing I was a bit concerned is you have to scoop the product with your own fingers so it's probably not that hygienic. Just be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before using it, or ask your friends to wash their hands before letting them dip their hands into the product.



Of course, I couldn't understand what the label or the box says because it's in Korean but says here that it has 50g worth of products.

What it claims to do:

This product has been causing a huge rave on Facebook groups claiming that it instantly whitens your skin and helps remove pimples and acne. Who wouldn't want that, right? 

Its texture is very creamy and somehow oily but it leaves a matte finish to your skin. It also claims to provide an instant whitening effect look but also has a long-lasting effect to whiten your skin in the long run of course.

Different ways to use this product:

• Substitute for makeup/makeup base or primer: This is a great product for those who don't wanna go out with too much makeup. This can be a really good product to make you look fresh and achieve a no-makeup makeup look. I use this when I'm too lazy to put makeup on. You can also use this as a primer because of its matte effect. It gives more texture and glow onto your skin. 

Note: If you have dry skin, I definitely recommend putting on a moisturizer first and let it set. Do not make the same mistakes that I did. Because this product is very matte, it would be really patchy and would emphasize the dry areas of your face.

How much and where can I get this product?

You can get this by joining this group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1517778125191827/
Or search it through Shopee. You can get this at around 400-500 PHP or around 8-10 USD.

What are my thoughts about this product? Is it worth the hype?

I think it definitely is, I've been using this for a while and it's very effective. Although I can say that it gives an instant whitening effect,  I couldn't say if it really whitens my skin after how many uses. It also tends to be oily throughout the day but not that greasy or heavy.

Overall, I would give this product a 7/10. It's a great product but it still has areas to improve!

NOTE: This product already has an improved version which is the velvety white cream, which I am yet to try.

Would I recommend this?

Hello, everyone! As we all know, Diamond Edge Tour will happen next week and a whole lot of different groups for the rest of the year. If this is your first time attending a concert, I'm thinking this might help.

Going to a concert is very tiring so we have to prepare ourselves physically, emotionally and mentally so I'm hoping this article will prepare you for a very special day.

Here are five tips on how to prepare yourself for concert day: 

1. Be sure to get enough sleep!

This is the most important reminder of all. I remember attending two or three joint-concerts when I only had two or three hours of sleep, and it didn't turn out very well. Thank God for adrenaline, but it wasn't really enough. You'll be expecting a lot of fan clubs giving away freebies so we have to walk for hours to look out for them. Believe me, there's also going to be a lot of standing, and lining up just to get the perfect spot, so save all that energy. 

You might make it through the day because of the adrenaline as I said earlier, but the effect will last for days. Body aches, nausea, vomiting, and headaches, I was literally in bed for a few days because because I went to a concert with little sleep. 

2. Wear comfortable clothes

Sure, we all want to dress-up on concert day, but it's also important that we feel comfortable with what we wear. Like for instance, if you know you're going to stand for a long time, you might want to consider wearing sneakers or flat shoes instead of wearing high heels. Do not sacrifice your comfort just to look good. You can look good and feel good anyway so choose the right clothing to your liking. Unless you know how to rock it, then go for it girl, but personally, I suggest you wear super comfortable clothes.

Another tip: Be sure to use a long-wear, smudge-proof and water-resistant makeup products. Of course, we want to look good as well, because who knows? Oppa might notice you, but you don't want to look cake-y and have panda eyes throughout the day. So be sure to wear the right type of makeup if you want to make it through the day looking on fleek despite the hassle!

3. Bring these necessary items:

• Extra fold-able loot bags
• Power bank, chargers
• Sanitary napkin or liners (if you're not sure if you'll get your period on the day of the concert, better be prepared than sorry, don't make the same mistakes I did!)

As I said, freebies and banners for fan projects will be given away on the day of the concert, if you don't want to struggle like I did, bring an extra loot or tote bag to keep your freebies. That is if you're planning to get freebies. To save time, don't bring large backpacks because they won't let you enter the venue without leaving your things at the baggage counter, it will save you a lot of time from lining up again just to get your bags before going home.
And of course, it's self-explanatory to bring power banks and extra memory.

4. Eat! 

Have breakfast before leaving, eat before you enter the venue and have extra snacks in your bag to keep you from starving while waiting.

5. Meet with your fandom friends

It's very important to have someone to share the feels, to have someone take turns in lining up. The fun starts when you have a group of people to past the time while waiting.

Personally, I think that's one of the best parts in attending these concerts, it's when you get to meet new people and develop a friendship with them.
There you go! I think you're well prepared and ready to face the world out there. Don't forget to enjoy and savor every moment with your friends and seeing your idol perform. I promise you that this will be the best nights of your life so go and buy that concert ticket!


That's all the tips I have for today, have fun and enjoy the moment! Take lots of pictures to save the memory but be sure to live in the moment while it lasts.
