Fragrances worn by your favourite Korean/K Pop stars

London, UK
No comments

Many Korean/K-Pop stars are brand ambassadors for luxury fragrance companies, and they often wear the perfumes created by those brands. 

For example, BTS member Kim Taehyung (V) is a brand ambassador for the French luxury brand, Gucci, and has been known to wear their fragrances, including Gucci Bloom and Gucci Mémoire d'une Odeur.




Another popular fragrance among Korean/K-Pop stars is the Diptyque Philosykos Eau de Toilette, which is a unisex fragrance that features notes of fig, coconut, and cedarwood. This fragrance has been worn by several stars, including BLACKPINK's Jennie and Red Velvet's Irene.




In addition to these fragrances, many Korean/K-Pop stars have also launched their own signature scents. 


For example, the girl group Red Velvet released their fragrance, La Rouge, which features notes of blackberry, rose, and vanilla. Similarly, the solo artist IU launched her fragrance, titled IU x Atelier Cologne, which has a floral and citrusy scent.




It's important to note that fragrances can smell different on different people due to differences in body chemistry. Therefore, what smells good on a Korean/K-Pop star may not necessarily smell the same on someone else. 


Ultimately, the best way to find a fragrance that suits you is to try different scents and see which ones you like the most.

My Vanity Shelf Perfume Favs (atm)

Hi All, 

I am back with yet another blog post and may I say that I am sorry for keeping you waiting!

In this post I would like to share with all of you my current vanity shelf perfume picks I have been using in the past year. As you can see from the photo above these are in total only four. So a small selection, but nevertheless a good one.

Funny fact is that only one of these perfume I have purchased myself and the other three were gifted to me from friends and family.

In general I tend to stick to a few rules or likings in the process of using perfumes. 
I have a winter selection and a summer selection, forgetting about the other two seasons which seems to be absent in England anyway ( laugh). Then I also would have a day smell and a night smell, which funny enough recently has completely gone out the window that system of mine. 

So from the vanity shelf my winter labelled scents are:

Why Sun cream is vital part of your skincare

Thursday, 18 February 2021

Sun cream is one of the most important steps in our skincare game and yet it has been underlooked for such a long time.
Even I have not been using it regularly and feel very bad because my skin deserves all the protection it can get. If you like me live in a megapolis of a city, then you most definitely should be applying sun cream on a daily basis.
The trouble is that most people think they need it only in the summer when they go on a vacation.
I was one of these people for such a long time. 
Time to change and you know what they say: 'Better late than never"


As much as I enjoy the sun and I love a good tan, it really does matter we do this correctly and protect ourselves from the harsh invisible sun rays.
Just because you cannot see them does not mean they do not exist or they do not impact you. In fact, every time you go outside you are exposed. Even on a rainy day or cloudy sky.Even if it is so cloudy that you can't possibly see the sun in the sky.

Sun cream helps you get a healthier tan if there is such a thing as a healthy tan. I mean that brownish glow you see after sunbathing actually is a sign of your skin being damaged by the sun and the reaction it creates results in that colouration. 



Tanning is a natural bodily process; when your skin is exposed to sunlight, it causes a pigment in the skin (melanin) to be broken down. As a result, your skin - the human body's largest organ - produces darker melanin and more of it! This production of melanin is what gives your skin a darker appearance (i.e. a tan). 

Tanning is a natural protection mechanism to prevent further damage to the deeper layers of skin.

So as trivial as it sounds the harsh truth is that we humans are so brainwashed by the fake beauty standards that a sun damage signs to our skin look beautiful to us. Not only that but we go to crazy extends to get them- to damage our own skin! Crazy!

I am not saying do not enjoy yourselves when you are on a vacation, but do so with precaution and with the necessary protection means, e.g SUN CREAM.
 GO UNDER THE UMBRELLA 
WEAR YOUR HAT
BE HEALTHY




It is not ideal that when we are enjoying the outdoors and the warm sun rays, soaking up that vitamin D inevitably we are damaging our skin.
 And to better understand why I say ' Inevitably" I am going to further explain.

For your benefit, you all need to understand something very important and make it simple and clear in your minds.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HEALTHY OF SAFE TAN.

If you are still wondering why let's do this again: 

Once skin is exposed to UV radiation, it increases the production of melanin in an attempt to protect the skin from further damage. Melanin is the same pigment that colors your hair, eyes, and skin. The increase in melanin may cause your skin tone to darken over the next 48 hours.

Skin tones that are capable of developing a tan, typically skin types II through V, will probably darken in tone within two days.

The Bottom Line:

Evidence suggests that tanning greatly increases your risk of developing skin cancer. And, contrary to popular belief, getting a tan will not protect your skin from sunburn or other skin damage. The extra melanin in tanned skin provides a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of about 2 to 4; far below the minimum recommended SPF of 15.

I am not going to go further into premature ageing and the risk of cancer or what types of skin conditions can occur as a result of skin sunburns.

I do trust you all that without me scaring you you will be sensible enough to take this into account and do what is best for you and your health.

Think of your skin as a garden fence for a second. If you have a good danced and high fence nothing can get in, however, if your fence is full of wholes than all kinds of things can go through it and damage your garden. 
Well, think of the sun cream as a protector of your fence- your skin!


Enjoy the sun but use a suncream with high SPF protection. 
Your skin will be thankful!

Classic & minimal must Have's - Weekly Style Inspo - Celebrity Edition

No comments


When it comes down to fashion, I like to keep it minimal and invest in few but quality items. Sometimes even less expensive clothes can last you longer and can bring your outfit game up.
It is not always in the quantity but the quality and the way you style your outfits. 

The more minimal the better. You can use one piece of clothing in many different ways and in this article, I am going to talk to you about a few favourite staples of mine that I believe is a must-have!

I have chosen some of my Inspo boards and celebrity outfits to illustrate the power of a single classic piece.
