CN BLUE has arrived in Manila this afternoon, they are scheduled for a public press conference in SM Megamall from 2-5pm. Me and my little sister rushed to get trough the traffic and we arrived just in time, almost exactly at 2pm. LOL, okay so I know a fan girl should always come hours earlier before the idol. But we needed to plead for my mom's yes before we can go to SM Mega.
As we imagined and as the facebook updates from Boicesph says, the whole activity area is jam-packed!
Not that I am not aware of CN BLUE's popularity, but the crowd was real huge! One of the wildest fandom gathering I've been into!
I'll be honest that I am not a hardcore fan of CN Blue. I am more into dancing idols, but I appreciate the music that CN Blue creates. It is something refreshing, makes my heart pound kind of music. Oh yeah love songs~ I do like bands: FT Island, AOA and Led Apple but CN Blue rocks in my number one spot!
CN Blue was fashionably late? I must say, maybe it was because of the traffic, or the crowd but they came in around 3pm. There are guards and other peeps trolling us already, I can't count how many times I on and off my camera because I thought that they already arrived. If you go to SM Mega you'll know that there is just one entrance in the back, yes we were right there eagerly waiting for them.
Yonghwa rushed to the stage, Jungshin walked like a diva, a model -chin up!, Minhyuk waved and smiled while slowly walking (...oooh I so so love you baby boy!), Jonghyun looked uneasy on the other hand I think he is not used to overly excited Pinoy fans! Kyaaa~ but the cheers was really loud. Ate Kring and Ms. Jinri Park were constant in saying 'Keep calm or they will leave for security purposes'.
CN Blue didn't performed or anything, it was a press con after all but it was a good chance for me to take more decent shots and videos. Teehee~ I love fangirling.
I dunno if the press con was cut short but it only took around one hour and they left. Fans waited in the same entrance/exit but they were gone. *Poof* like magic. Haha. I'm clueless when or how they got out of SM Mega but seeing them is already enough for me.
They will have their Blue Moon: 2013 CNBLUE World tour in Manila (June 15) later at 8pm in Araneta Coliseum.
*Will update with spazz photos after I upload them! kyaaa~*
Do you still remember your first deodorant? I honestly can't recall which one between Rexona and Secret. My mom says I should stick with just one brand of deodorant to avoid dark underarms, I think so too but that is after I find a product or brand I can trust.
The last brand I have used so far is from Nu Skin. Have you ever heard of the brand Nu Skin? They are the company who offers Scion Whitening Deodorant which promises whitening result after 3 weeks.
Description:
An underarm whitening roll-on deodorant and anti-perspirant that
provides 24-hour protection against bacterial growth and perspiration
which can cause body odor. Whitening results can be seen in just 3
weeks! Alcohol-free makes it mild and non-irritating. It comes in two
variants. 24-Hour Protection to keep you fresh all day, perfect for the
active lifestyle and pH-Balanced, especially formulated for women.
Product Claims:
Aids in preventing discoloration of the under-arm area
All-day Antiperspirant protection
Glides on easily
Alcohol-free formula is gentle and non-irritating
Nu Skin Scion Whitening Deodorant is available in two different labels: Baby blue - more focus against odor and wetness. (also good for Men) Flesh - pH balanced especially for Woman also best for those who have chicken skin.
Obviously I chose Flesh. Scion Deodorant has a roll-on
type packaging like majority of the deodorants in the market today. As
for the scent, I can't describe it exactly, it's fresh but not something
special or worth noting for. It keeps my underarm dry the whole day.
Key Ingredients:
Triclosan – helps kill odor and infection causing germs
Lactic Acid – pH acidulent
Vitamini E – renowned for its moisturizing and antioxidant properties
It has parabens, I know that a lot of girls take this into consideration.
I have used this product for about 2 and a half months and I am afraid there is no visible changes. I don't have dark underarms but I want to notice any slight whitening effect which is the main reason why I bought the product in the first place.
PROS
It keeps me feeling fresh all day
CONS
Doesn't whiten
Product not readily available
Quite expensive for a deodorant
Where to buy?
Nu Skin sellers or online sellers in sulit and facebook
How much?
Around P250 for 75ml (can't remember the exact price, sorry)1
Overall:
It does it's job as a deodorant but it's a thumbs down in terms of whitening. It didn't keep up into it's promise to whiten as early as 3 weeks which is kinda sad. I know a lot of drugstore brands who offers the same promise of whitening in as little as 2 weeks but without the heavy price tag.
Will I buy again?
It is good as a deodorant but it's not a smart buy. I won't buy again.
I am thinking of trying out mineral deodorants which is said to be safer than other deodorants in the market today. How about you lovelies, what brand are you using right now?
Thank you for dropping by my blog! See you in my next post! CN Blue is coooomiiiiiiiiiiing!~
So I waited for my Sampleroom products to arrive and it's now here! Okay maybe it has been weeks since the package arrived but I think I needed to thank them for the great service.
So what is Sample Room? Sample Room is a sampling site that banks on the power of free product
sampling. It is an online community that changes your beauty-shopping
pattern; and an interactive community where your opinions matter and
where all beauty lovers are valued.
I love how straight to the point this sampling website is. It gives us consumers the privilege to try products before we buy. I am signed up like months ago until I gave in and used my welcome points. I was given additional 1 point for each product I reviewed.
So here it is, awesome Gluta-C goodies!
The products came inside a cute Sampleroom brown paper bag. They follow a schedule for shipping out products and I only need to pay P100 via BDO for the shipping. These are full sized goodies, so yeah~ Gluta-C and Sampleroom are indeed generous.
Check out Sampleroom so you can snag and try products before you buy, there is 100 welcome points for you.
Hope you'll enjoy Sampleroom as much as I do. Please look forward to my reviews on these!~ :)
Oh I just heard and seen this song performed by Karylle's Kaloka Like in Showtime. I think the song sounds cool and the song is sexy! Here it is:
Konjac Cleansing Sponge is my little gentle scrubbing buddy. I got this in my recent haul in Landmark. I just want to try this product so I chose the cheapest one available (it's the smallest one too). This is quite new for me actually, it is a very popular cleansing sponge in Korea and South East Asia but I just recently heard about it.
So what is a Konjac Sponge? An all natural sponge made from konjac roots (vegetable fiber) with extra fine texture. It is used for skin cleansing.
Uses:
Cleans pores eliminating blackheads, dirt and oil.
Kills acne/pimple causing bacteria.
Moisturizes your skin upon use.
Exfoliates your skin to bring out natural shine.
Balances the pH of your skin.
Ideal for people with hypersensitive skin.
My Experience:
It is like a hard pumice stone at first. Instruction says to soak the konjac sponge in water for 3-5 minutes for the initial use. This is being done to soften the product and to transform it to super soft sponge! Massage your face or body with sponge in circling direction: I use this alone or with my facial wash/soap.The konjac sponge I have is the same size of my plushie's head below:
About the same size of the head of my little plushie CJ7.
I like that it is really gentle but I can't attest to it's eliminating blackheads, killing acne/pimple causing property because I think it's too much to ask for a small cleansing sponge. I still get them even I use this sponge, but I really don't mind. I had the chance to use this when my face was micro peeling but it didn't fully helped in exfoliating, maybe because of the fact that it was indeed gentle and soft. However if you'll ask if it made a difference on my skin, then yes. It somehow made my skin look brighter and I highly recommend it to hypersensitive skin because it is an oh-so-natural product.
Where to buy: Landmark How much: Less than P30 for the smallest konjac sponge
What I love
It's a super gentle cleansing sponge
Affordable
Brightens up skin with continuous use
What I don't
None
Will I buy again?
I really think I should repurchase, maybe after it is worn out? Around 3 months or so. I dunno. But I do recommend this product if you have ultra sensitive skin, I believe this should work on you. :)
Hope you like my review, see you on my next post!

Nine Muses is a kpop girl group debuted last August 2010 but hasn't received too much attention. People say that maybe this is due to the fact that they have the same number of members like SNSD/ Girls Generation. They were almost always being compared and was even called copy cats because of the blocking, ending pose and costumes.
However while surfing youtube the other night I came across their practice video of Dolls. I never heard nor read about Dolls before but I clicked in and watched:
Dolls gathered buzz because of it was super awesome! It's one of the top searches for Nine Muses in Google. I was really amazed by the choreography and the way they move for the blockings. What Pop in Seouls says about Dolls: This is the title track of Nine Muses' single album of the same
name. It's a dance song with the sounds of brass instruments and guitar,
and their improved vocals and rap stand out. It's about a woman, who
tries to comfort herself by explaining why she feels the way she does
after a breakup.
The members of Nine Muses are not just pretty but also tall! This is no surprise because unlike other kpop groups, Nine Muses is formed by former models.
They are all so pretty and their group name suits them perfectly. I am so into 'Dolls' right now and I love the song. I appreciate that the songs of Nine Muses has not much of auto tune in it. I am not saying that auto tune is bad, but hearing the actual voice of the idols is something I prefer. We can't say that their every member is a good dancer but together as a group they perform so well. They offer fresh music to my ears, I always see gems in under rated
idols, I like them better than famous kpop groups because they tend to
work harder. Everything was just so perfect even in the music video:
I can say that Minha is my bias but I like other members too especially Hyuna and Kyungri. I am not sure who is the tallest member but they said that Sera is the shortest. I watched a few live performance, it is not as powerful as their practice video but I like it just the same.
Once in an interview Nine Muses said that they have more female fans than male fans. They said they will be working harder so male fans can confidently say that they like them. I remember seeing a documentary on the hardships of being an idol and Nine Muses was in it. I believe they deserve the much needed affection from fans now. Oh I can't count how many idols are under rated nowadays. *sigh* But Nine Muses with all their perseverance should go a long way. Hooray!~
