Yun Eun Hye for Korean fashion house Joinus

Yun Eun Hye for Korean fashion House Joinus

Those interested in Korean fashion may find some inspiration for sophisticated corporate wear through these apparel from Joinus modeled by Yun Eun Hye of the K-drama hit Coffee Prince. 

The Koreans seem to favor contrast, which is achieved mainly through dark colors llike black, navy blue and red or silver metalics combined with colorful abstract geometric prints.  They look good on Yun Eun Hye here but some of the designs are kind of dated to me.  Remind me of the clothes from OG!

Reviews on various brands of BB Cream

Following my last entry about BB Cream: the new rage in foundation,  I started seeing a lot more reviews on the product.  BB Cream is short for Blemish Balm Cream which is said to provide excellent coverage as a foundation as well as to regenerate the skin. Of the many reviews, I thought Kimoko did a good job because she’s such a BB cream addict!  She has personally tested as many as 10 different BB creams from different brands. My gosh! Here’s a list of what she has tested so far:

Here’s Jessica Alba and Korean K-pop singer Lee Hyori promoting Isa Knox Double Effect Advanced Serum.  Isa Knox is a Korean cosmetic brand which carries an entire range of products like waterbased skin care line, cleansing series enriched with Q10 for dry and sensitive skin, pore tightening and firming care range, plus wrinkle treatment, skin lightening as well as sunscreen products.

BB cream: the new rage in foundation

BB Cream

I have always look to Japan for innovative skincare products in this part of the world but it looks like the Koreans have a winner with their BB Cream, short for Blemish Balm Cream which is said to provide excellent coverage as a foundation as well as to regenerate the skin. 

It appears that BB Cream was formulated as an after treatment cream for those who underwent laser surgery and soon became popular with the Korean celebrities.  This is because this natural care cream for delicate sensitive skin has the ability to cover the irregularities on the skin as well as soften skin texture.
